Finally! So many long years of waiting for this gem is finally being paid off. I think I'll go out and preorder my copy tomorrow. This is just going to be too big of a hit to miss. Looks like it's time for some good, old-fashioned demon slaying action. Except, this time, the demons are more than 2d sprites running around in DOS. :P Pricing on Doom 3 is a bit odd though. $55... Most games are either $50 or $40 these days (and I really have never seen a $55 PC game... even back in the $60 age).

People are talking about this nearly everywhere on the internet. iD certainly has hit the jackpot with this one (like we didn't already know that, lol). I just hope my system can run this sucker at full blast (it damn well better). -------------------- You can win a thousand battles but you can still only lose one.

Doom 3 has a very high system required specs and I dont plan on updateing just to play it.. Sure it would be cool I just cbf forking out 300 for a video card to play it decently. -------------------- Formerly M0RPhEuS ..for some reason. Things we do when younger.

No system exists (supposedly anyways) that is going to be able to run Doom 3 on it's Ultra Quality (highest) setting. Even my system is made to look a bit sub-par compared to iD's "recommended" system. Mine being: AMD Athlon 2500+ 512 MB RAM Radeon 9700 Pro I'm scared. I suppose a bit more RAM and maybe a bit of CPU overclocking can't hurt me. Lol. -------------------- You can win a thousand battles but you can still only lose one.

Some Doom 3 Benchmarks Courtesy of HardOCP.

Pretty much a useless benchmark unless you're a lucky owner of a GeForce 6800 or X800 Pro (or SOON-to-be owner of X800 XT PE in all of it's ridiculously-long-name glory).

Last benchmark is a bit more useful to me though. Radeon 9800 isn't too bad and my 9700 isn't too far behind. However, another fault in these benchmarks is that their systems themselves are also ridiculously overpowered compared to those of most gamers (they have 3.6 GHz P4's and 4 GB of DDR2 RAM, lol). I suppose we'll just have to see for ourselves how it will run on our own hardware,

QUOTE

As of this afternoon we were playing DOOM 3 on a 1.5GHz Pentium 4 box with a GeForce 4 MX440 video card and having a surprisingly good gaming experience. Even a subtle jump to an AMD 2500+ with a GeForce 3 video card that is two years old will deliver a solid gaming experience that will let you enjoy the game the way id Software designed it to be

Maybe all hope is not lost. It's too bad they didn't give us some benchmarks from those rigs though. :huh:
