As much as I would like to play this on my PC I won't be. Will the Xbox version offer impressive grahics or will it be heavily scaled back?

 

[seismologist]

It should be pretty good if your just looking to play the game. Dont expect the graphics to Wow you though.

 

[Kiriku]

Well, I'm hoping for 30 fps at least.

 

[HyperionX]

Since Doom3 seems to be able to run on a GF4MX, an Xbox should be no problem. Though with only 64MBs of memory, visuals are probably the same as for the MX.

 

[Minotauro]

It seemed pretty awesome at e3. I didn't play the PC version but, aside from resolution, I don't know how it could be much better.

Perhaps Framerate, Texture Detail, Shadow Resolution?

Quiet, you.

 

[Suikoguy]

Quiet, you.

Hey, you asked for it
I was gonna leave this thread alone

If the gameplay is there, it should not matter much anyway

Just as well the Xbox version has co-op that the PC one doesn't.

You forgot mouse control

Why? I played it at E3 and it's still one of the best looking Xbox games. Even if it's not up to the PC version, it's still going to look better than 90% of the Xbox games coming out this Fall/Winter. I'm not even interested in the PC version. I'll take Xbox Live and co-op.

 

[epmode]

stupid co-op mode. over live, even. i might have to get both versions. (and yes, i know about the co-op mod)

does the xbox port have a deathmatch mode? i haven't heard anyone mention it yet.

 

[----]

Of course the Xbox version has online deathmatch.

The only game on Xbox that is arguably better looking than Doom 3 for Xbox is Halo 2. If you don't think stuff like Chronicles of Riddick or Halo 2 look impressive, then you won't find Doom 3 for Xbox impressive either.

 

[Teknopathetic]

Mouselook > controller.

That pretty much settles which version to get.

 

[SantaC]

co-op for PC is coming as a mod.

 

[dark10x]

Mouselook > controller.

That pretty much settles which version to get.

I dunno, the XBOX controller feels good enough these days that I could see someone preferring it over a mouse/keyboard setup. There are only a few games that wouldn't work well with a pad (fast paced games like UT and precision based games like Tribes).

I think Doom 3 on XBOX will simply have reduced texture resolution, lower framerates, split levels, and more.

 

[Mashing]

I really can't see 64 megs of memory doing the game any favors.

Xbox:

PC:

 

[Yusaku]

That PC screenshot is ANCIENT.

 

[Brofist]

I think they should have gone straight to Xbox 2 with it, but for those without a powerful enough PC to run the real version, this should be fine.

 

[siege]

That PC screenshot is ANCIENT.

Well, they haven't exactly released a whole lot of screenshots for the PC version.

 

[Prine]

Im buying the Xbox version for CO-OP over Live

 

[Brofist]

There's gonna be like million mods and modes for the PC version..including CO-OP

 

[Justin]

I had a chance to try it at E3 and it looked great. It is crazy they got it to look and play so well with the xbox hardware. It looks a lot like Riddick without the graphic problems and with much more detailed architecture.

 

[Oni Jazar]

I'd imagine the Xbox will have smaller levels? Unless the PC version was made with that in mind (I hope not).

 

[Prine]

There's gonna be like million mods and modes for the PC version..including CO-OP

Rather play Doom 3 with my friends over Live

 

[Mashing]

I'd rather play Doom 3 co-op with my buddies for free on PC. But to each his own I guess.

 

[Yusaku]

I'd rather play Doom 3 at 1280x1024 WITH A FUCKING MOUSE.

 

[dark10x]

Well, they haven't exactly released a whole lot of screenshots for the PC version.

That's true, but it is a rather unfair comparison...

For a better comparison of the two, just go watch the E3 2003 PC trailer and the 2004 XBOX trailer. You can clearly see the problems the box version has, but you can also see that it looks quite decent...

 

[The Bookerman]

Just as good as the Game Cube port of Wreckless was.

 

[dark10x]

Just as good as the Game Cube port of Wreckless was.

Ha, you couldn't be further from the truth...

 

[crawlingpeter]

ill probably buy the pc version when it comes out, then sell it to get the xbox version for co-op later on.

or maybe ill just keep them both.
