Doom III is out there! W00T!


Recommended Posts

I just picked up my copy from my local Gamestop this morning, and Im running just fine on Ultra Detail at 1024x768 (highest res my flat pannel goes). My system specs are:

Windows XP Professional SP1

AMD Athlon XP 3000+

512 MB of Ram

Saphire ATI RADEON 9600 256mb

So anyone with simular specs should be just fine. It's nothing to really worry about :)

I was just about to ask on here if anyone has tried GameStop or EB yet. Do you know if every GameStop is selling Doom 3 today or is it just a fluke that yours is selling it? Perhaps we should start a where you purchased it thread where people can state the store and the city they got it from.

I had a Reservation placed for the game and my Gamestop decided to give it out a day early to thoes who reserved it.

my friend, Mr.Malpractice in COH told his group that he was loggin so he could come over and play D3, a member of his group replied in global chat along the lines of " he has doom 3 ", and people started flooding the chat channel, and messaging him like mad. he just told peopel to coem to neowin, lol

prepare a new flood of viewers

i know u guys will think im talking bs...

i have just spent 2 hours playing it at 1024x748 ULTRA detail with all advanced stuff turned on....on my GF4 ti4600 and got fps between 8 and 35 and it was still fun to play :o

anyone else getting just a blank screen when trying to view screenshots? :crazy:

edit: here's a pic with prntscrn showing the fps in moderate action...on ultra detail on a 4600...

to play on ultra mode (to notice any benefit that is) you need a 512mb card which isnt released yet... so right now, there is no difference b/c high and ultra... just play on high.

and yes, ultra has no compression at all which is why you need a 512 card

from what i understand / heard, ATI and NVidia's next product refresh are goign to be 512 cards.

Anyone Heard of the Doom3 Bloopers Mod :D ?

The DOOM 3 Blooper mod team sent us word that they have begun work on their new mod which will consist of laughs, giggles and chuckles instead of the fear and pants filling goodness of the real DOOM 3. "The D3 Bloopers will rebuild the existing single player story of Doom 3 and infuse a cackling plethora of gags and "accidents" along the way. Monsters will drop their weapons, forget their lines and scamper off yipping all the way. Characters will be slaughtered in mid sentence, lights will come on during spooky parts of the game and a bunch of other Loki-inspired riches await!" Sounds interesting to say the least. Head on over to the D3 Blooper page and give Dick Clark a smack if you see him hanging around looking for work.

thats pretty LOL =D

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
