Didn't the engine they used for Battle of Proxycon seem like some kind of unbelievably advanced version of Doom 3's engine, or maybe Unreal 3? It looked insane, considering there was also stuff going on in space and everything. I got good preformance from that part of the test at 800x600, and it looked amazing.

I have a fear in my heart that Battle Of Proxycon is a mirror of Doom 3's performance. :wacko:

12 fps! wow! :pinch:

Jesus christ, how did you get 12k 3DMarks from 3Dmark03? I have 2.4 ghz P4, Radeon 9800XT 256 mg., and a gig of RDRAM and I got a little over 6000. You got double my score, and your computer is only better in the CPU and a slightly better video card.. WTF?

the GT makes a big diff. i'm getting 12600 with mine. it's not a slightly better card. it's double the performance of your 9800xt

Donuts: oops i missed that :blush:

No, it's not. Doom 3 has already been proven to work flawlessly on computers like yours or mine. It was a different engine, something much more advanced than Doom 3 since it had spaceships outside landing and deploying troops, I don't think it was meant for an actual video game. Don't worry..

I wonder what nvidia drivers work best for this game. Anyone know who's played it on a nvidia card?

*Hopes the 5600 works alright*

AMD 2200+, GeForceFX5600 ... ran it on 800x600 with medium settings, game ran perfectly, very smoothly, really good frame rate, I can definately increase the resolution to 1024 and probably the graphics quality too ... i'm using the latest nVidia drivers off the site ... you'd probably get better results with the omega version ...

This game is all hype, IMO. I tried it. Sure it looks nice, but besides that, its nothing fan-****ing-tastic. I am guessing you have to be some huge DOOM fan to get into it.

You have to love blowing the **** out of demons to like it.

It's also mostly just playing to get the big reward- getting to the last stage of the game, in hell, where you probably end up facing the Cyberdemon. I can't wait for that.

I just looked at the Sunday ads in the news paper and the BestBuy ad said that it would be available August 11!! Are they out of their mind?? Just release it already! :angry: :angry: :angry:

I saw that as well :crazy: . I'll be there on Tuesday just to see if they're selling it or not.

i know our local sam's club (i work there) has doom 3 listed as coming in on the 5th, but that is often incorrect.

info from hardocp: some people have managed to already purchase copies from best buys, though an email was sent out to best buys that they can no longer sell any until the 3rd.

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android

      Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
