On the DOOM 3 Date

A couple of recent doings have stirred the pot a bit regarding the release date for DOOM 3, id Software's eagerly anticipated upcoming shooter remake. DOOM 3 Release Date Set on IGN points out that Gamestop and EBgames each are listing August 3 as the "official" just-announced release date for the game, for which the release date had been "when it's done" until it was recently announced that it would be done this summer (story). On a related note, a few folks have pointed out that the British Board of Film Classification has a DOOM III Listing (thanks for small "b" blue for being the first) with a rating for the game, a seeming indication that they've already been able to review all its content, which some are taking as another indication of the game's relative imminence.

I agree with post #1, I am far from a Xbox fan but after playing Riddick that anceint box impressed the hell outta me! I can't believe they actually squeezed graphics like that out of the Xbox. Now Doom3 should have been the first game to premiere next gen graphics (I still remember watching the Geforce3 release video) and now here it is mid 2004! I bet the game won't even play on a Geforce3! Between Far Cry and Riddick Doom3 has some serious showing off to do, I really hope they pull it off!)

Yeah, I recall seeing the Doom 3 videos on the Geforce 3 release video at MacWorld and was amazed. And when they were showing it off they made it sound like you'll being playing the game on the GF3, like within a year. And I remember how they said that the game will run at 40fps on it, saying you don't need 60+ because you'll play the game slower due to how real it looks, if everything moved fast like in Quake 3 it would look odd.

And now in 2004 we're playing games like Doom 3 graphics such as Far Cry wtih 9700 pros under 40fps, so much for a GF3 to play Doom3

At least with the Unreal3 engine reveal they made sure you knew the 6800 Ultra isn't the card to play it, but is just the only card that can at least run it at low fps for the presentation.
