Doom III is out there! W00T!


Recommended Posts

creative has like the worst drivers out there. it's always a bitch to install them and they give a lot of problems.

agreed, and cause there wasnt any driver updates for it, im removing it, and reformatting was both teh quickest and easiest (i have a remote server behidn me that i backup to, and reinstalling takes 5-10 minuts MAX, then half an hour for the windows updates,,,, vs spending couple hours digging through regestry / folders to dig creative out

I got my copy of Doom III, woohoo! I haven't had a chance to install it yet, I picked it up on the way to work, but yeah, important thing is I have it!

Aussies: EBGames & Harvey Norman have TONS of copies of Doom III in stock. The EBGames near me (Greensborough Plaza) had somewhere around the vicinity of 15 or so boxes full of Doom III.

That would be great if only the truck that was delivering Doom 3 to my local EB store didn't crash. Now I have to wait until tomorrow for Doom 3 goodness. Not happy at all. :angry:

Could you go to another EBGames, Harvey Norman or Dick Smith Electronics Power House?

I've been playing the game, in total darkness with my headphones on for a few hours now..and the game scares the crap out of me. I constantly use the flashlight to reveal the dark areas, and the game's ambience is incredibly scary. This is my new favorite game :ninja:

To all thoes who say the game isn't scary...

Rofl never seen that pic before...

i find the game too repetitive, new room same monsters blah blah... graphics are good on full with 2xAA at 1024 res. i always find my self with very low ammo, having 4 head shots to kill the all the mosters, yes very wierd i know, but all the mosters die; no matter what size they are, with the same amount of bulets.. :hmm:

exactly.it isn't scary no more.

yeah first 2-3 hours were great, now i'm bored of it.

anyway it's doom, it's supposed to be like this, doom 1 & 2 were about the same, what we could except?

carmack dont give a damn about how much we like the game, he gon sell the engine to 60 companies, he can afford 4 new ferraris...

Yeah you can definately run it at 1024x768 on medium with no problems .. my friend on his AMD 3200+, Ati Radeon 9500 oc'd to a 9700, ran it on ultra graphics and 1024x768 and was getting about 30ish frames a second... the only problem he was having was when entering room the game would cache and he would have to wait a few seconds .. but that's probably due to his lack of ram lol

Cooliez, thanks again for your reply (k)

it seems I need to paste what I said in another thread:

...saying that, despite what some people are saying, Im enjoying this, I dont know what you people where expecting, ID never said something about spectacular AI or so, they promised an horror game, they delivered it, period. Maybe its something I cannot understand, but then I dont care, I am happy with it, I am enjoying, guess who wins ;)

BananaMan - you quoted only that line, i also said that Doom3 is a game it was supposed to, we couldn't except anything more, carmack haven't lied, it's the horror-ish game like [sanctified] says. i like the game personally, first fps after 2 years which makes me want to play it and continue playing...

Yeah, that's logical.. :rolleyes:

I love it when people pass judgement on people they don't even know.

Indeed.

Carmack and ID are the daddies. They owe PC gamers nothing. They have consistently released games for GAMERS that have been scary and fun.. they have tried to remain independant for so long, they have released source code to their old titles for coders to experiment with, and they are one of the only game companies to offer Linux clients for their titles. I can't even imagine that 3D shooters & deathmatch would be anything like it is today if it wasn't for id.

Dominik - you need to STFU really, as its pretty clear you don't know WHAT you are talking about.

How does quoting the rest of your post affect what you said? Whether I quote the whole paragraph or not, the context is still identical - you accused Carmack of intentionally pumping out a half-ass product (which it isn't, IMO) so that he could obtain wealth to fuel his own greed. Which is, in my opinion, a complete load of bullcrap, especially you don't even know the man or his bank balance/income (not that it's even relevant).

Chicane-UK - STF... what? i only said that Carmack gonna sell the engine to 60 companies and can afford new expensive cars. So you need STFU really, i haven't said the game is bad or something.

Point I was making is that Carmack DOES give a damn.

He probably gives more of a damn than any other game developer out there.

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026 by Aditya Tiwari Google Gemini has been around for over three years. The AI chatbot started its journey back in 2023 (as Bard) when ChatGPT was already a talk of the town. However, it quickly attracted criticism after misrepresenting facts about the James Webb Space Telescope. The search giant spent a year fine-tuning Bard before rebranding the chatbot and its underlying generative AI model to Gemini, drawing inspiration from NASA's first human spaceflight program. Note that Bard was initially powered by LaMDA and PaLM 2; Google has since added several new features and integrations to Gemini. That said, there is scope for improvement and a gap for new features. I have been using Gemini for a while now and have realized that the chatbot lacks several features, making it harder for me to research across topics. These are mostly function-over-form updates that can improve the overall experience. Delete individual messages from a conversation Image via DepositPhotos.com One good thing about Gemini is that it can maintain context throughout the conversation. But things might get chaotic when you want to ask a related question, but don't want it to be part of your conversation in the long run. You can't ask that related question in a fresh chat because Gemini will lose the active conversation context of what you're trying to research. If Google allowed you to delete individual question/answer pairs, you could simply ask about a sub-topic and remove it from the conversation to create a smooth flow of important stuff. Offline mode Image via DepositPhotos.com A big pain of using Gemini daily is that everything loads from the cloud. It takes time for your chats to appear, and you can't view your conversation history while offline. To get a better idea, you can open the Gemini app and see how it looks without an internet connection. While Gemini models run in the cloud, it wouldn't hurt if Google could store chats (at least the text part) on the device so we can refer to them when offline. Google can also offer a lightweight version of its AI model to help with basic drafting, summarization, and other tasks. It has the Gemini Nano model, which can perform on-device processing on Google Pixel, Samsung, and some other Android brands, but it's a system feature and not related to the cloud-based Gemini app. Make temporary chats permanent I can't thank Google enough for taking the time and effort to add incognito mode or temporary chat mode to the Gemini app. It lets you have conversations without worrying that the topics will end up in your chat history or used for model training (at least on paper). Google claims that it doesn't use your temporary chats to "personalize your Gemini experience or train Google’s AI models." However, the data is stored "up to 72 hours to respond to you and to process any feedback you choose to provide." That said, I often start researching something in a temporary chat, only to realize the chatbot's answer is good enough to refer to later. Sadly, Gemini doesn't have an option to make such temporary chats permanent. In other words, I won't be able to follow up on it if I close the temporary chat. I'm left with alternatives like copying the answers into notes or another app. My digital life will get a lot better if Gemini gets a button to make temporary chats permanent. Collapse answers for a cleaner view You're heavily invested in your research game and suddenly feel the need to go up in the chat to recall something. This is when the conversation thread starts to feel like an overwhelming, unending wall of questions and answers. What if Google added a way to collapse Q&A pairs in the Gemini chat thread? It would look quite clean and easy to navigate. You'll quickly get an overview of everything you have discussed with the chatbot. Add buttons to jump between messages Suggested mockup of the feature. This reminds me of a small but useful Gemini feature that Google could add to its chatbot: the ability to hop between prompts in a conversation. Just add simple up- and down-arrow buttons, similar to YouTube Shorts, so people can quickly scroll through the messages. A table of contents or Chat Overview It's hard to get a bird's-eye view of everything you have discussed with the chatbot during a lengthy conversation. This is where a table of contents, or Chat Overview, displayed at the top of the screen, possibly in a drop-down button, might come in handy. You'll be able to get an overview of the chat and jump between messages, serving as an alternative to the up/down arrow buttons. Temporary mode for Gemini Live Image: Google You can use Gemini Live to have real-time conversations with the chatbot, which feels like you're talking to someone in the same room. However, a downside is that Gemini Live doesn't work in Temporary Chat mode, so all your conversations end up in the chat history. Google should consider expanding the temporary chat mode to include Gemini Live. Default to a specific chat One thing that feels somewhat annoying to me is that Gemini always opens in a new chat, whether on web or mobile. Sometimes, you want to return to your last chat. Google can take cues from web browsers, which let you choose whether you want to go to a new tab or a specific web page(s). Gemini can also have options to default to a specific chat when reopened. That said, generative AI chatbots have endless possibilities given the vagueness of their work. You can mold them the way you want by attaching different connectors, adding custom instructions, and including source files. It remains to be seen what Google has in store for future updates and whether anything from this wishlist gets the green light. The search giant released a stream of new Gemini updates in recent months, including Gemini 3.5 Flash and Gemini Omni Spark, adding that it now has 13 products with more than a billion users each. What do you want to see in the Gemini app? Tell us in the comments.
    • Thank you for the post. Just a FYI that links to an outside site or promoting specific software is considered spamming here. Asking general questions is fine.
    • I have been thinking about AI detector tools as a software workflow rather than a single "AI score" widget. When someone pastes text or uploads a document, the UI can return a report with a probability-style score, sentence highlights, reliability notes, and limitations. The useful part is that it can point a reviewer toward passages worth reading again. The risky part is that a polished score can look more certain than it really is. For people who build or review web apps, what should happen before the user copies or exports that kind of report? The minimum I would expect is: A clear input boundary for pasted text versus document files. Limits shown near the workflow, including minimum text length and maximum file size. A report label that says the result is a signal, not proof of who wrote the text. Sentence highlights and evidence notes alongside the global score. Reliability notes when the sample is too short or lacks enough sentence variety. False-positive and false-negative caveats that remain visible in copied/exported summaries. I am trying to avoid the pattern where a clean report card becomes the whole product story. For AI detection, "review this evidence in context" seems more honest than "trust this score." Would you keep the warning text visible on every report, or make it collapsible so the main result stays easier to scan? Disclosure: I work on a small AI detector/reporting workflow, but I am intentionally not linking it here. I am asking about software and report design, not promoting a site.
