Doom 3 Coming Soon?


Recommended Posts

Alright I was at Best Buy doing Christmas shopping and I noticed they now have those empty boxes of Doom 3 on shelves saying you can pre-order Doom 3. Usually when they do that at Best Buy, that means the game is coming out soon. But when you go to websites like EBWorld and such, they say Doom 3 is comig out in April 14th, 2004. Does anyone have any clue of what is going on? Why would Best Buy put out the empty boxes on the shelves if it is not coming out for 5 months. Usually when they do the pre-order thing with the empty boxes it is when there is a month or so left before they start selling it, not five. Like when the Max Payne 2 empty pre-order boxes came out there was like two-three weeks before it was released. I am so confused. :blink:

I don't believe there has been an official release date for Doom 3, the ones you see at EBworld or Funcoland are most likely estimated guess as to when they think it'll be released.

I've noticed over the past couple of days they've released more and more content on the Doom 3 website, so perhaps it maybe coming out soon.

Though it also could be equally as true that they are trying to hype the game. *shrugs*

I don't know what game I want more; Doom 3 or Half-Life 2. I think I'll just get them both. :)

Good idea!

That's what I plan on doing. Though I have a feeling HL2 will be better. Only time will tell I guess. ;)

Probably just putting them out because of the holidays, thinking they'll sell more now despite the game isn't coming out for a while. All the soccer moms won't be the wiser.

Ah, very good point. Chances are you are right. Also some people may think they are actually buying the game for $10 and take the empty box home, lol.

Sorry guys, I did not intend for this thread to be a Doom 3 vs. Half-Life 2 thread since there are a million of them.

Well I could understand someone saying that about Duke Nukem Forever.. but the VALVe only ever made one annoucement regarding a date slip, and I am sure that was linked to the hack they suffered.

I can tell you now, from what I have seen of HL2, i'll be plonking my cash on the counter for that the day it comes out.. it looks f'ing spectacular, and its a credit to their coding skills that a game with such amazing gfx can run at 1280x1024 with 4x FSAA on my cheap Radeon 9600 Pro EZ!! :)
