Doom 3

Wild_Bill · 08-05-2004, 09:19 AM

Anybody else playing this yet? This has to be the best game I've ever played, graphics are amazing, also a very scary game. Playing at night with the lights out I've nearly jumped out of my chair several times.

Any screenshots, just for kicks?

I haven't seen it yet, but my brother was raving about it the other day.

Here's a couple:

SLC Punk · 08-05-2004, 12:18 PM

:eee: that looks sweet. I am doing a couple of car detailing jobs this weekend, so I may buy it with the extra cash I get.

Tacoma Dude · 08-05-2004, 01:27 PM

Okay now that's just freaky...!
I'm like the biggest wuss with scary movies and games - no way in hell would you get me to play these games

4xJedi · 08-05-2004, 02:25 PM

Yeah I have it as well. It's pretty bad-a$$. The shotgun needs to reload a little faster though, I'm gettin' stomped

.

Can't wait for my free copy of Half-Life2. If it ever get's released.

***Corey*** · 08-05-2004, 05:30 PM

I am member Drew have it on order, and it looks like we will get them on Monday.

Can't wait, as I love 1st person shooters like Quake III, Unreal Tournament, and UT 2004, Jedi Knight Academy, ect.

CynicX · 08-05-2004, 06:18 PM

I went to best buy today and I wanted to pick it up for the XBox. They didnt have it, I dunno if its not out yet or what. I went over to look at it for the PC but the requirments scared me.

I have a P4 2.0 GHZ
512 Ram
Geforce3 video card

You think my system will be underpowered for the job? What are the specs on your guys computers and how does it run?

Are they even making it for the xbox? I didn't think they were. Anyway I have a Athlon XP1900+, 1gig ram, ATI 9700 Pro, runs great on medium at 1024x768, looks great too.

***Corey*** · 08-05-2004, 07:31 PM

Glad to hear it runs good Bill.
I am running the 9600 Pro, and run all my games at 1024x768.
Hopefully it will run good on my system.

Have you tried multiplayer?
That is what I am into most.
I don't play much single player of any game.

I'd love to host next weekend, but it seems my Toshiba cable modem is not compatible anymore with Comcast here since they upgraded their system last week.

Darn modem cuts in and out due to it not liking the new signal.
Gonna have to either buy a Motorola Surfboard 5100, or rent the same unit for $3 a month.

RED 85 · 08-05-2004, 08:27 PM

OOOOOOOOO YEAH!! My birth day is tommarrow and i know what i am getting my self!!

I have played multi-player in the past, but I won't be able to with this game, because, uh, well,

.... just can't.

MTL_4runner · 08-06-2004, 06:16 AM

Damn that game looks seriously violent!!!!
.....might give me nightmares if I play that before going to bed.

well i didnt think they were at first....but i went to www.doom3.com and when you start clicking around on the bottom pages it says "PC" "XBox" "XBox Live"....so i just figured they were making it for XBox.... :shrug:

Would my Geforce4 MX work?

It would be quite a close call on the bare minimum side but I doubt it. Most of the MX cards are way too stripped down for gaming like that. Doom 3 is supposed to be one of the most graphics intensive games to date (hence the realism of the screenshots).

Download this benchmark and if you get above 1200 (best scenario would be 1500 or more) you should be ok otherwise look for a replacement (I would lean toward the Radeon right now for max capability:

http://www.we-dare.nl/modules.php?mo...ark&download=3

These would be typical scores on 3Dmark 2003:
GF3Ti200 - 1100
GF4Ti4600 - 1500

***Corey*** · 08-07-2004, 07:55 AM

Just ran 3D Mark 2003 again, and this is what I got.

3456 with the PC clocked stock at 2.4 GHz.
I usually run it at 2.8.

Hopefully it will run pretty good.

MTL_4runner · 08-07-2004, 07:00 PM

If you can run the entire benchmark and the frames never drop below 30 you are set for Doom 3.

My darn Radeon 9000 only gets me 1050 on 3Dmark 2003.

I would love to get a 9800 Pro if they drop a bit more in price.

***Corey*** · 08-07-2004, 07:09 PM

I dropped down to 3 fps in some of the tests.

They say the new ATI X800 is twice as fast as the previous 9800 XT which was the king of the hill.

As long as you only dropped down during the CPU tests you are fine.

DAMN!!!.......new ATI sounds sweet!

My new laptop spanked my desktop on 3Dmark 2003:
Desktop: 1050
Laptop: 3400

Guess which one I'll be gaming on...

phorunninduke · 08-08-2004, 01:00 PM

I love this game, but it is a drain on the system. I am trying the 3d mark software but i have a 1.8ghz 1 gig ram and 256 apg 3d card and i can just run medium quality on this game. I will update with my score and some of my own screen shots in a bit

***Corey*** · 08-08-2004, 01:48 PM

I'll be adding a GB of RAM to my 512 sometime.
That will help too.

MTL_4runner · 08-08-2004, 02:12 PM

For gaming I would add in the following order:
1) Upgrade video card
2) upgrade processor
3) Increase RAM
