On the DOOM 3 Date [Jun 22, 2004, 5:52 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
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.
On another subject...I just had to buy a new graphics card for Thief: DS, but could only afford a 128MB GeForce 5200 FX. It's really not faster than my 64MB GeForce 2 Ultra, except that it's got dual RAMDACs and a pixel shader. Should I trade it back in for something better? Will Doom3 require a better card? I think I can catch a sale on 5700's in the next week or so...
You can find good deals on used cards, especially now as everyone is upgrading to the next generation and want to get rid of their old cards fast. Heck, I just sold my 9700 Pro for $110+shipping, can't beat that seing how much slower ATI cards still sell for more than that.
Take a stop by www.Rage3d.com , then check the forum and go into the deals thread. Though, they are down for their vB3 upgrade. But once it's up, if you have $110-$150 to spend, create a thread in the deals section asking for a 9800pro or similar with your pricerange. Most likely you'll get a response in a day or two.
