Doom III is out there! W00T!


Recommended Posts

Is it just me or is anyone else here to scared to keep going? It's dark were i live. It's quiet in my room. Sorround Sound is on and I'm trying to play this with my 19' monitor. im scared :cry:

After beating all three Silent Hill games, and all of the Resident Evil games, ive been desensitized. Ive even played a good amount of SS2, so Doom 3 doesn't really phase me. It's more of an awesome looking action game to me.

Damn, nice screens. Your system in your sig is very much like mine. what settings were you running game at? Resolution and Video Quality?

It looks like either 800x600 or 1024x760 for resolution, and im guessing either medium or high for detail level, and maybe some anti-aliasing. Im impressed, considering his system.

that party is hardly scarey. scooby doo and shaggy wouldnt even be afraid of that. the worst part is when the zombie falls from the overhang on the cieling and he drops in front of ur face. so yes, that was actually heart pounding. you must blast him, preferably with the shotgun as his rag body simulates nicely with it. <-best seen

i dont think so, man

i THINK it'll run slow as hell (no pun intended)

lol, slow as hell hu, lol

Well my fresh install of XP took about 5 minuts (Gotta love RAID )

doing windows update now, and i got my C-Media onboard enabled, hopefully getting that audigy 2 out of the system will clear up alot of headache, only problem is now i dont ahve a MP3 encoder (was using the software that came with creative, was actually good, wont work with non-creative cards though, that part sucks, migh tinstall it on my server.lol

Um, are you reinstalling your operating system just for one game?

God, do you people understand the placebo effect? Reinstalling Windows does NOT have a noticable effect on performance unless you're an idiot about your computer. I've been running on the same install of Windows for 3 years accross 2 motherboards, 3 CPUs, 3 video cards, and god knows how many programs. If you know how to keep a registry clean, you don't need to reformat every month...

im reinstalling my OS so ALL my Ogl games wont crash when high qual sound in games are playing, its always been like that, i just choose the option to use low detail sound to bypass it, doom 3 there is no option for that, so instead of uninstalling my Sound Card and having Creatives backend hidden **** wining about not finding bla bla, or detecting bla bla, i jsut reformatted, i had to do it anyway.

and windows does bloat, go digging through your reg, and file structures, youd be suprised how much crap uninstall does not remove.

last time i just uninstalled the audigy2 and all of its software, deleted directorys and Regestry entreies, but there was still errors in even viewer about some creative file havving problems, when i removed each file after the uninstall.

it wasnt done for doom3, it was done for every OpenGL game doing the same thing its doing in Doom3 when i enable high quality sound or EAX

whats wrong with audigy 2? i am getting audigy 2zs tomorow, i hope it wont cause any probs for doomeh ;)

for me it does on any OpenGL game, that has high quality sound or EAX (or predessors) so im sayign screw it and removing it, tired of it locking the comp, it doesnt do it when low qual sound is enabled, thinking its conflicts.

but your system may be diffrent

That's the problem with Windows these days huh?

I will say that IF you understand the inner workings of a registry or installshield you would know how to clean. Windows and Creative type companies alike know most don't and begin to put in redundency and this does in fact "bloat" the OS.

I will be running O&O defrag later tonight and should see an increase in not only gameplay but load times and a faster Windows session.

I have cleard the regestry, but some things keep comming back, or trying to reenable.

and as far as knowing the inner workings of a comp, i do

BTW when did i say i was reformating for performance.

i like i said i was reinstalling To Fully remove Creative's crap to stop teh locks in OpenGL Games. NOT jsut doom3

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

    • When I was a teen, I actually believed that the government used to be always be the bad guy. However as an adult, someone who has actually seen the Law work (though not perfect). I now think everyone cries a river. In this specific case, the so called freedom has consequences to society. Anyone who has seen how child are indeed affected, and I don't mean only extreme things like getting drugs or hate crimen , but no one can deny society as a whole has gone down a rabbit hole due to exesive use of internet. Before anyone calls out that it's the parents responsibility. Yes that's true, but the reality your family/kids might be good people. There are 99% out there who are not and have been brain dead by many things on the internet.
