Doom III is out there! W00T!


Recommended Posts

Wait wait wait.you can't compare HALO 2 with such great classics like PONG, PAC-MAN & ARKANOID no way man.They had by far better graphic engines than HALO 2.Have you seen the lighing effects in PAC-MAN , dude.Halo 2 woun't come close to it, impossible :no: .An overclocked ATI Radeon x800 256 MB (256-bit) can barely run PAC-MAN on 640x480 - 16bit.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :p :p :p

lol... Look at challenge factor in games... compare Doom III's challenge factor with a great hit like CONTRA (capitalized for effect) Contra was genuinely hard, no armor no life bar.... it was do or die... lol games like Doom III might look like real life now, but the challenge factor in vintage games is long gone... Ninja Gaiden for the Box went back to the days of yore and offered a genuine challenge... hey anyone remember holographic wiley from Mega Man 2? now THERE was a solid challenge.

but when a game is so hard (one that has a developing story line) it is no fun to play parts over and over- thats where the challenge factor is no longer useful, and where the gamer drops the controller because they don't want to play it over and over.

Or they can just make a more fun game.

Is this true?[/b]>

Is it true, that you need a 512MB GFX card to run the game on Ultra High details?

So i'd have to wait for a 512 card to play on 1024x768 no AA nor AF on Ultra high?>

It's true. The game is built to detect 512mb cars. But i should imagine you can play everything ultrahigh now if you have a high end comp.

I hope i can play on ultra high, or i'll haxxor the game

Anyone running it on an Athlon 1.2 ghz / 512 mb RAM / Radeon 9000 Pro (128mb), or similar???

How does it run?

Sons' runnin' it on his box.......athlon 2.2 ati radeon 9100-128 mb 512 ram.....choppy even at low detail....unless he shuts everything down.......then theres still lag...but haven't tried droppin the advanced settings yet.

meh... i'll start off in 800x600 low detail then :p

ah well I'm not expecting anything more then a slideshow anyways.

I'm sitting on a 1.8ghz athlon,

GeForce 4:4600

768 Megs of ram.

i think i'll be fine.

not sure if i'll be able to try it at Ultra Detail though.

back on topic, I'm currently playing through Halo on the PC and its impressive, if a little repetative.

Doom3 like that?

and lets try and do without the spoilers about Doom3 from now on...

Jesus, my friend went and bought it at my local Best Buy earlier today when I told him it was there. He actually picked me up and brought me to his place so I could see the game.

Absolutely fricken incredible. I can just imagine me playing it in the dark on my headset whilst the thunderstorms are knocking away with the lightning blasting!

sorry donuts it will not run in ultra high, your comp is a bit slower then mine and i can tell you for sure ULTRA HIGH IS ULTRA LAGY. 1600x1200 is great though.

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.
    • 26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.
