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.

    • 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
