DOOM 3 April 15? [Feb 25, 2004, 11:34 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Doom 3 due
April 15 on GameSpot reveals what they call the "official," albeit still not
officially announced ship date for the PC version of id Software's shooter
sequel, attributing this information to an insider at Activision. There is,
however, a bit of uncertainty to the use of "may" in the statement "GameSpot
learned that Activision may be planning to ship the PC Doom 3 on April 15," and
id Software has long held "when it's done" as the release date for all their
projects. They also report the release date for the Xbox version is not certain
yet. Update: This story has been subsequently pulled without further explanation.
I'm more excited about having the engine available than I am about Doom 3. As mentioned above, even recent games like Call of Duty are still using the Quake 3 engine to great effect, and the Doom 3 engine will likely be longer-lived than it is. If more games end up looking like Doom 3 (in terms of quality, not style), I'll certainly be happy. Real-time lighting, shading, and detailed physics all add quite a lot to the visuals of a game, and in turn add to your immersion and enjoyment.
But, of course, I'm not too worried about release dates and delays. I've got a job and friends that occupy plenty of my time already, and lots of other enjoyable things to do. It'll come out when it's ready (which is better than before it's ready), and I'll have a new toy to play with in my spare time, nothing more.
