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 hear ya. I'm only 23, but I feel the same way. And I remember playing the original Wolfenstein (older games too, but for some reason that one stands out the most).
As for the price tag, I find $50 a little steep. Don't get me wrong, I gladly shell out my hard-earned cash whenever a new game comes out. Its' just that, for example, in the next few months a bunch of games are coming out that I want to play: HL2, Tron 2.0, X^2, and Halo PC. That's over $200.
I'm hoping the replay value on at least 1 or 2 of those games will be worth it.
