Well I picked up this monster of a game early this morning.
And WOW. I've never seen a game which such amazing graphics and gameplay!
I've only played the 1st 2 levels.
But HOLY ****!
The Game Runs nice and soomthly on my P4 2.4gzh with a 128mb FX 5200.
I want to tell you what happens but you have to find that out for yourself.

ANyone else bought this?
What are your thoughts?
ANyone GOING to buy it?

YO!

I have a p4 3ghz w/ 9800 Pro and 1gb of ram. I also have an Audigy 2 sound card - will Doom III run ok?

it should but I dont think it handles as well as games like counterstrike, I feel so slow when I play it, even when sprinting, and most of the levels are very restrictive, its almost like playing a dungeon crawl game :mp5:

Nazi Weaponized Virus: I hate people who have top of the line systems and ask ""will my system run this???
No Offense to you though, your a good man
OF CROUSE IT WILL.
If my P4 C Can Run it and it's clocked at 2.4ghz
Of crouse the C version has 2 times as much L2 cahce.
So it will run just fine.

YO!

I have a p4 3ghz w/ 9800 Pro and 1gb of ram. I also have an Audigy 2 sound card - will Doom III run ok?

I can only assume you do that to show off your system specs. Doom 3 requires minimum system reqs of a 1.5 gig processor and a 64 mb video card.

I run the best commadore 64 you can find, my computer put men on the moon theres nothing that beats my computer!! Does that game you speak of come on a oversized floppy??

HAR!!! And I bet you run Windows 'n all....enjoy that wonderfull Gates security. I notice that MS are going into the AV bis....You're gonna end up paying for your updates! LOLOL

fool

Ummm, yeah, in about 200 disks.

Oh how I can't wait to play Doom3! 'waiting for it to come out on the XBOX- anyone know when that'll be btw? *sits and waits for a reply* :)

Game runs fine on my comp, only the occasional choppiness:

Athlon xp 1900 processor
Nvidia fx 5200 vid card with 128 mb ram
Audigy Gamer sound card
768 mb pc 133 ram

I can't believe how cool this game is

It scares the living shit out of me. Like the Exorcist, but with a big fucking gun.

1) my comp is shit, my puter is gonna fucking explode: 1.8 celeron, 512 ram, shit 32meg geforce mx 440

2) your trying to compare it to coutnr strike? drown yourself in a toilet, OF COURSE IT TAKES MORE TO RUN IT SMOOTHLY THWAN COUTNER STRIKE, coutner strike is cheap shit, doom 3 makes pc's cringe, make the dman resolution smaller and stop whining or go play "counter strike" shit and sotp whining

Oh how I can't wait to play Doom3! 'waiting for it to come out on the XBOX- anyone know when that'll be btw? *sits and waits for a reply* :)YEAH... just 6 months after it releases with PS2...better sit on a confortable sofa

What the old people really want to know: does the double-barrelled shotgun sound as fantastic as it did in DOOM II?

and one more comic

Doom 3 requires minimum system reqs of a 1.5 gig processor and a 64 mb video card.

Thank God, I can't run it. Judging by the screenshots, I'd need some sort of anti-dark patch to even be able to see the demon that's eating my spleen.

To quote PA: "Survival Horror means 'monsters will come through windows.'"

Edit: Dammit, Kazi! You stole my thunder. You... Thunder stealer!!!

That's part of the fun. The game is truly atmospheric, the sound is great. You can see the monsters, but you can hear their clicks and slurping, then you see their 3 little red eyes in the dark.

THEN
HOLY SHIT!
BAMBAM BAM

HAR!!! And I bet you run Windows 'n all....enjoy that wonderfull Gates security. I notice that MS are going into the AV bis....You're gonna end up paying for your updates! LOLOL

Like the Exorcist, but with a big fucking gun.
I'm convinced!

Will just have to buy a new PC first. (Last time I bought a new machine for the sake of a game was a new Amiga with 1 MB (!) memeory in order to play Dungen Master. Those where the times.)

Edit: Dammit, Kazi! You stole my thunder. You... Thunder stealer!!!
Sowwy.


The best I've heard for an x-box release date is October.

There better not be a PS2 realase for it!
PS2 would ruin that game so bad.
Only the XBOX and GameCube could pull the kind of stuff that DOOMIII is all about.
And it won't fit on a GC disc anyway.

I can't tell you how awsome the gameplay on this game is. It's beyond words.
It's scary,fucking scary.
Like HALO but with more guns.
And more scary gameplay.

You walking down a hall.
And you think you hear somthing.
You Keep walking. turn around,Nothing
5 seconds later, BAM!
mmmmmmm ChainGun

Ummm, yeah, in about 200 disks.

It would be closer to 2700, lol.

I've already uninstalled it again, I hated it.

Your computer sucks then.

DOOMIII is the most fun in a game I've had in a long time.

Can't wait till I get a P4 D ;)
Thank god I used a 533mhz mobo

anyone who hates DOOMIII is going to burn in hell ( if one is even there)

suck it down fanboy.

disappointing

scary as hell (for a game)
but the same reason I hated the quake series, its just to dark, i cant play it for any longer then 10 minutes before I get motion sickness so its kinda impractical which bites

Yup motion sickness is a big problem in this game. Is it just me, or is everyone actually scared by this game. The only time I got scared was the level after the monorail. Where you had to reactivate the reactor at the start. Stoopid gas. they purposely made it sound like a Xenomorph "HOLY SHIT~~!!. Oh silly me. I been playing too much AVP gold. Which btw was the best Atmospheric game I've ever played. Even with its faults.

And Its not difficult to see enemies. Turn up your birghtness for one. Then, as its not difficult to see the hellknigts or whetever the fuck they are called you can simply let of a shortr burt from your machinegun or pistol to locate the buggers.

Yeah you really need to turn up your brightness to play this game. Else you'll get your ass kicked.

i couldnt even make it play, even with a bit higher than minimum sys requirements

it just booted up to some weird ass white screen kind of shit and played music

Yup, finished it last week. Graphics are truly breathtaking, but it's just an tradional FPS. I didn't think it was any scary however. There were few old horror movie tricks, but none of them was truly original. The atmosphere was quite great. It was nicely detailed in designs of levels, models, story and so on. That saved the game from becoming borefest. This is the kind of game were you feel "sucked in", because they've greated so detailed enviroments.
Recommended to any FPS lovers. Others might consider skipping it, as it's just an linear FPS, even though all the fuss and hype.

I have a friend who is downloading Doom 3 as we speak. He hopes it will work on his system...

I myself am currently downloading Desperado and Ghostbusters, I won't bother getting Doom 3 because I know for a fact that it would be futile to attempt to run it on this computer.

Ah, God bless bittorrent...

I never mentioned LINUX.....


Anyway I mostly run OS/2

where the hell did you find that?
Linux is great.
I have a dual boot system.
I like to tinker around with Red Hat 9. And a I use windows for normal day to day stuff. Like DOOMIIIing(lol)

Can't play it on my laptop!

ATI Radeon 7500

updatre your drivers, thats what i had to do

I thought the Radeon 7500 was not supported?

PS Forgot to mention the P4 1.7 Ghz

it might not be, what kind is the radeon 7500 and have you tried it

edit: also thats not enough ram, i have a 1.8ghz celeron, 384 ram, geforce mx 440 64 meg card, it will run, but not well enough to play it

ATI Radeon 7500 is a laptop specific video card (32Mb). Might need to push RAM to 1Gb later ...

No one should immediatly write the game off due to not meeting requirements

PIII 900 MHz
Radeon 9600
384 mb RAM

And I'm running the beast on 1024 x 768 resolutions, all the extras turned on with barely any lag, FPS around 30-35

which radeon 9600, and im suprised you can run n00b games without lag with a 900mhz

Sorry, 128 mb; and I was suprised as well. I was able to run DX2 fine, but I was expenting D3 to be more of a strain.

Not sure "which" Radeon 9600 off the top of my head (I didn't know there were more than one kind!) and I was suprised as well. I was able to run DX2 fine, but I was expenting D3 to be more of a strain.
they have different amounts of memory


and 128 is twice system requirement for the video card and the video card is a major factor in you know rendering for a game to cut lag

you dont even hit min system req's

I know ... and upgrading a notebook is not possible (apart from memory and HD) :confused:

they have different amounts of memory

I realized this and edited. Sorry for my temporary stupidity. :P

I know this as well, but I was expecting my clock speed to cause me some trouble. :P

I think it's a great game, great graphics, and it is scary when your playing at 2 in the morning, in a completely dark room (I even blocked out my PC's power and HD LEDs), with 5.1 surround.

It runs fine for me at 1024x768, medium quality, but that's because I'm running a GeForce 5200 128 and only 256 ram.

YEAH... just 6 months after it releases with PS2...better sit on a confortable sofa



The Doom III and HL 2 Producers already stated their games won't run on a PS2 or a GCN.


Oh yah,and DOOM III ROCKS!!!!

I dont think my system will actually run Doom 3. I only have P3 600 Mhz, 256 MB Ram (this computer limits up to 256 MB, that's it.), I have umm nVidia 128 bit Tnt2 and 3D AGP 8MB graphics video. So, i doubt this game willing to work but if so, maybe it'll be slow due things that i have on this computer. My computer is an Emachines E-Monster 600. Any thoughts or what? I'll be glad to hear from you in this post or telegram.

Need a new PC to run Doom 3 ... CPU too slow, need more memory and that video card is ancient ...

you assume HL 2 will be out, i bet PS 3 is out for months before HL 2 is released

you want to play doom 3? buy a new computer

The XBOX one should do just fine.
It probably COULD run on a GCN however.
The game disk is not large enough.
And the video card is fast enough but it doesn't have enough memory.

Dude holy crap.
My moms 633mhz Celeron with INERGRATED video has more video memory than that!

Doom III - I got it yesterday, but o be honest there is to much monster spawning, not that it is a bad game, its a great game and the TV Screens are amazing as are the Audio logs. But the fat zombies are hilarious!

And Half Life 2 doesn't actually seem that long away now!
