No DOOM 3 This Year [Jul 22, 2003, 7:01 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Though id Software basically invented the idea of using "when it's
done" as a release date, and thus did not specify a release date when DOOM
3 was announced (story), many have been assuming that the game
would be available for this year's holiday season (and jcal points out the
DOOM 3 E3 billboard did clearly promise this year). Now a report on HomeLAN
Fed cites Activision's 2003 release calendar
and quarterly
financial conference call to gain a bit more clarity on when to expect the
highly anticipated shooter sequel. Activision admits that this matter is
entirely in id's hands, but that they are not expecting the game this year, and
have it "penciled" on their calendars for fiscal Q4 (Jan-March) 2004.
Further actual release date delays were gleaned from the proceedings as well,
including word that True Crime: Streets of LA is now due in late fall 2003 and
that Rome: Total War, console Call of Duty, Quake IV, and Trinity are now all
due in Fiscal 2005 (which begins April 2004).
I have a Ti 4600 and WONT be changing for at least a year! I'm sure I'll be able to run Halflife 2 just fine
I also think that many people might want to wait and see how well their current systems will run these games. Personally I am going to upgrade, but that's just because my system - P3 700mhz oc'd to 933mhz / Ti4200 (oc'd as well) - is just plain too old. Even with my creaky system I was able to run the D3 leak well enough to look around the thing.
One word of advise... if you're going to upgrade your system just for one of these games, wait till the game is actually out. I made my computer for Tribes 2 and bought the parts so I would have them just in time for the "planned" release date. Of course that got pushed back by months and it turned out I could have saved a lot of money had I waited.
