The Xbox Doom III ports sounds to have been delayed purely for economical reasons. I thought it was about done already.

ho ohh ...........

It sounds like they're just delaying the games by a couple of weeks to get them into their next fiscal quarter, since they are already ahead of the revenue goal for the current quarter.

Dont know the point of releasing it now, the game is decent at best, the only thing going for it, for some pple, its the plastic graphics, and on a POWERFULL pc, not on a 3 year old console which is going to look worse of course....

I'll be interesting.

What happens when you take a average game with great graphics and then remove the great graphics?

 

[KeithFranklin]

Never know...It is entirely possible that the game mechanics were tweaked as well. Not to mention for an average game it score pretty high at GameRankings.com

I thought the XBN reviewer (Simon Cox?) sounded a tad overzealous with his Doom III review. He makes the game sound so awesome, and it is to a degree. However, in the review, almost everything he makes sound cool happens in the first four hours. That is the problem with Doom 3. After the first couple hours everything gets old hat until you get towards the end where something cool occurs. Now, is Doom 3 a good game? Yes. I'd argue it is the best first person experience id has pumped out. But the competition has been getting better over the years and Doom III should be considered a second tier shooter and not a first tier shooter. The game is about 5-6 hours too long with too much filler.
