Doom III is out there! W00T!


Recommended Posts

And what legacy stuff would that be?

There is nothing that's in XP that's not in 2003, save perhaps the logon UI (And I don't even remember if that is there somewhere).

  • Visual Basic 5.0 runtime removed.
  • DirectPlay 1.0 removed.
  • DirectMusic removed.
  • Intel codecs removed from DirectX.
  • SOAP Toolkit removed.
  • Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) removed.

There's tons more - which is why so many old applications work fine in XP but do not function in Windows Server 2003. Here's a good read.

Anyway, jerry is right, this is way off-topic. I'm still happy to discuss with you, PM me if you want to reply to me. :)

While I'll admit i'm downloading it as we speak, I'm also (as many have already said) definately going to buy it when it is released so that i can play the multiplayer side of the game. I live in the UK and i've still got 2 weeks to wait for it, and with everyone else getting there hands on it it just cant wait - but as i said, I'm buying it. This is a game i respect and have waited on for a long time, ID have earnt my cash and will get it, as will half life 2 when thats released. I hope many others downloading the game will also purchase it.

I am in the same boat as you my friend.

Even though I preordered it and it's already paid in full I'm not going to DL. I like my computer to be 100% legit, no music I don't own the CD for, no warez. I either buy it or it's freeware. DOOM 3 is not free.

Now on to the reason I'm here. Where all the screenies? Maybe even some hi-rez videos?

the guy has to be ****ed as he probably is really trying to get some extra cash off the deal. fact of the matter is that its only 2 days from now and its a sunday it wont be getting shipped till monday which means the EARLIEST some coudl have it is tuesday which is the day it will probably be available for the buyer in the first place. sucker born every minute thou. :whistle:

side note: almost 1000 replies :blink:

I do not know why people cannot just wait three days. And then you wonder why computer game companies release crappy games because they know that even if they develop a great game that takes years to make, people like some of those on here will ruin it by downloading it for free. So why even bother trying to make a great game if they are not going to get rewarded for it?

Here in the UK and basically everywhere except US and Canada it won't be released until August 13th, some places later than that even. Not releasing at the same time globally only encourages piracy.

The thing is, people have waited like years for this game to be developed. What is a few days or a few weeks to wait for it to be sold in stores? See I hate to see companies like id or Valve not get their money when they deserve it. By not paying for the work it does not motivate them to make better games in the future because when thousand of people illegally download their games why even bother making future games. It just ruins it for us who actually pay for them.

Non-Warez:

HIAH: You sleeping or too busy playing?

come on guys, don't warez/spam this up

was sleping, decidedto lay down while downloading a trailer, then thing went downhill

    • I totally disagree. Very little good comes out of governments all around the world manipulating everything they can and usually the people are not the benefactors. What you say about being restricted and expensive sounds almost like the arguments against firearms and why banning them will protect people as if making something illegal somehow will prevent the criminals from having and using them. AI being far less mainstream could simply mean the average person will not benefit, but "big brother" and the corporations will benefit, which is almost for sure NOT a good thing.

    • "connect with audiences" is the most obvious corporate speak you can think of. I only bought Need for Speed from EA because it was the only racing game with cops in existence and I dig that. Now that they killed off NFS franchise, I have nothing to spend money on. EA is officially dead for me, just like Ubisoft which I've been boycotting for some 20 years now...
