Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+ Doom 3!, Gone gold... won't be long now.

i've only got an athlon 1800+ :(

hm... I have amd 1700+ running at 1.69GHz (something like 2000+ I think) and 768mb DDR.. thought I only have Ati 9000 :( well, I will just have to see how it works.. :)

Theoretically it wont run on my machine. I need more ram to meet the minimum, and my processor is basically the minimum

(Im running Athalon 1700+, ATI Radeon 9200 Sapphire, with... 256 mb DDR SD Ram... *kicks case*)


still i cant wait forthis

Should be a creepy ass game to play at night... :D

Lol. Awesome stuff. My machine is running this baby pretty well at 1024x768 Med Quality No AA. I'm messing around with High Quality\Lower Resolutions\Maybe Some AA... Either way, don't be nervous. Even at low\medium quality this game looks pretty freakin awesome. At low quality, some textures here and there are sort of blurry or jagged but you'll really only notice if you are walking around looking for such things (even medium has some blurry textures here and there... I've even noticed some questionable textures on the High setting).

Now... to just biuld a rig that can run at 1280x1024, Ultra High Quality, 16x AA, and 16x Aniso. :P

Come on somebody. Anyone know where it is so I can get it.

in stores ;)

its out in australia now :P

heh.

its not as good as they fucking say and the worst thing is 4 player max multiplayer what a joke

I actually just played in a 16-person server (and it ran surprisingly smooth). The player limit is easily changed to whatever you want it to be through a console command. The fact is, it just takes some massive serverside bandwidth to go over the basic 4-man "limit."

Another cool thing. A co-op mod is already in the works. Supposedly, they already have it working somewhat but they have quite a bit of debugging to do (crashes in cutscenes, new players spawning causes massive lag, PDA is unusable, etc. etc.). Here's some footage:

Spoiler Alert! The first video contains footage of the final boss. (I, for one, didn't watch the first one so I can't be positive about whether or not it shows the final boss or not... but don't say I didn't warn you)

I do indeed have one gripe about this game though. I really wish you could carry the flashlight and a weapon at the same time. I don't see why he can't carry at least the pistol with it. It just takes too damn long to switch between the useless flashlight and any other weapon.

Well...I've been playing this 'thing' for two days now and I must say I expected more. Either I'm lossing my appetite for gaming, or this game's a dog. I hope HL2 lives up to it's expectations - this one hasn't as of yet.

Well I got into gaming via doom 1..so I bought doom 3..

IMHO, people shouldn't pirate this game..but that wont ever happen. If you like doom, you'll like this. Play it at night, no background stuff to keep you occupied, closed off area and you will be lying if you dont jump in your seat etc.

The flashlight adds suspense. If your playing no cheats etc, it adds alot to the atmosphere and when those Imps get in your face you get really scared and alot of adrenaline pumps when you want the weapon to come up. You just have to be smart to know when to use the flashlight versus your hearing.

The game has exceeded my expectations. I thought it would kind of be just a run and gun, but I am freaked out. There is a voice that tells you in one part of the game it goes..

"Over here, Follow me..." You head down a corridor, then your vision goes red and the voice says.. "They've taken my baby..."

That's wrong to me..
But hey I am a sucker for scary things..it's just a matter if you get scared or like the thrill. Some parts are really dull and just kind of like..damn i'm shootin these zombies etc and then the 90% of the other time it's more like "Holy sh** two of those things just came through the vents..where'd they go?"

If you aren't playing it like it's meant to be played(night time, dark all by yourself), you aren't experiencing it.

This is my opinions...I can be just assuming and can be wrong.


As always :) :ph34r: :blink:

so far the game hasn't been anything that'd really grab my attention. I'm not really a FPS fan, more of a strats man, but I thought i'd give this a go.

I must admit I like the 'scary' factor of it. I've been playing it late at night (when everyone's gone to bed, lights out and all so the only light is coming from my screen and it is rather.... freaky.

I just find that its rather frustrating at the limited amount of ammo around, I always seem to be stuck with my pistol and cuz my shotty and chain gun are out of ammo :P

Anyone know about the combonation locks you see around? Any clues to what the combos are?

All combinations can be found via other peoples's PDAs (whether it be an e-mail or audio log). The exception are the Martian Buddy closets which require you to quit the game and go to martianbuddy.com to get the code from the bottom of the page (trust me, it's worth it).

And yeah, this game is pretty freaky when played in complete darkness. It really adds to the experience. I've gone through quite a few shocking momentes (I hate when you hear stuff growling at you and you can't see it... resulting in you frantically making 360 degree turns and shooting at stuff that isn't there, lol). My freakiest moment so far was actually in the bathroom (after all hell breaks loose and you start backtracking). I wanted to go see myself in the mirror so I walked up really close to it. My sound was pretty loud so the ensuing cutscene-thing scared the hell out of me. Lol.

I suddenly have the urge to go find my floppy version of Doom 1 and play some levels....

Well I just finished the area where you get the plasma rifle, the team etc....

I think the coolest part is where you see this guy and he gets mauled right under the exit he helps you find..I am like ohh my god. That was cool.

But the freakiest is the woman..you'll see her if you haven't.

I think you guys are taking it slow going to all the lockers etc. I've been fine with ammo. I just guess I shoot where it counts. I can understand if you dont play FPS.. that might be your ammo problem :P
