means its gonne be a peice of shit.

Means the final disc has been burned and aproved and has sent to be duplicated.

another doom 3 thread oOo:

DOOM 3 has been code released and has been approved for manufacturing!
It won't be long now until the anticipation ends and the PH34R begins ;-) We literally just hung up with Activision and have confirmed that our latest release candidate has been mutually approved and is finally GOLD.
Thanks to everyone for their patience (yeah right! =) and for everyone at id, Activision and our numerous partners for helping us create what I believe is absolutely the best game we have ever made.

So, the next question is release dates. Retailers in the States will be allowed to pick up games starting at 12:01 AM on August 3rd. The official street date is actually August 5th in the U.S.A., but some of your favorite stores will probably have it early for those of you who have to have it first. Check with your local retailer for that information.

Internationally, the game will take a few more days to make it to the store shelves. The UK will probably get it first, on or about August 6th. Everywhere else will probably be Friday, August 13th (que Twilight Zone Theme) or close to that date, with just a few exceptions (e.g. Russia and Poland). This isn't because we don't have love for you folks outside the U.S., but the localization and manufacturing process takes a bit longer outside the U.S. where we will have JVC run 24/7 to get the units built.


Means its been approved for manufacturing

Edit: Oops, well now you know.

thats right

Fucking SWEET!

Finally, a game worthy of my new system: even Far Cry cowers in shame...

rolleyes: Will you stop this already Pyro? hake:

Nope. angel:

Well I can probably safely say that Doom III will be better than COD. Especially SP wise.

First you need to know the top 10 things about Doom III:

1. 6800 is a tad faster than X800 cards. Both run it in full glory

2. The game has four render paths: NV10, NV20, R200, and ARB2. All paths look awesome, even down to a g4mx, but the ARB2 path is the "full package," and is used for the R300+ and Geforce FX+ cards. It does all it's fancy **** in one pass.

3. PCI Express enhances NOTHING.

4. The difference between a 128mb and 256mb card is that the former uses compressed textures whereas the latter only compresses diffuse and specualr maps. In another words, no big deal. However, a 500mb card is needed to run the game in Ultra Quality mode.

5. 512MB is the ideal system total memory. 384 is required, 1GB is nice, but the difference is negligible.

6. Nothing special is included for a 64-bit OS.

7. A 1.5 Ghz processor is the least recommended, but a 2Ghz and above will help since...

8...The sound engine is entirely CPU dependant. Therefore a crappy soundcard works flawlessly. Not to worry, the enfine only uses a "small percentage of cycles, much less than if the engine relied on a soundcard.

9. The only reccommendation regarding faster framerates is to disable to "advanced special effects option." In other words, upgrade if you have problems.

10. They tie it up by providing three levels of "Doom lovin' PC's"

Low-End:
1.5GhzP4 or equivalent
512MB Ram
Geforce4 Ti 4800 or Radeon 9500

Mid-Range:
2.4GhzP4 or equivalent
1GB RAM
Geforce5950 or Radeon 9800 Pro/XT

High_End: Aka Hardware that doesn't exist, but best guess anyway
3.4GhzP4 or AMD equivalent
2GB RAM
GeForce 6800 Ultra or Radeon X800 XT PE.

In conclusion, the game will run well on a variety of hardware, and Rob Duffy, the lead programmer, says that the game looks real good no matter what, and that it will continue to look better as hardware improves. Like all previous id engines, we'll be playing games based on D3 for another five years down the road.

This is info i got from planetdoom.com


and now for what we all been waiting for... the first review from PCgamer:

WARNING: Some spoilers ahead! If you don't want to know any of the secrets of Doom 3, read at your own risk.

pretty gay 2gbs of ramm

im in the Low-End to Mid-Range loney:

pretty fucked if you ask me oOo:

wheres the b00n-end? dance:

how about a 32mb vid card?

A64 3000+
KV8MAX3
1GB Corsair (3338)
Radeon 9800 Pro
Audigy2 ZS

How is it going to run on that hardware ? :D

About the only bad thing on my system
is the RAM: the timings suck. The 9800
could be an XT or X800 too, but blah...

Change em then..If it doesnt boot clear cmos,and try again.this time with more voltage..

im mid-high but i dont give a rats ass about this game.

If it was possible, I would've done it already. biggrin:

who woulda thought $1200 upgrade a year old would be considered "mid-range" fuck i hate computers.
