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

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
