Was anyone able to find Doom 3 today?

Banned
Apparently, some places have already recieved their shipment and put the game out early. EB is still saying the 4th here. :(

WTF is id thinking making low end machine pump out gfxs like that


didnt they get the new pc memo that every uber game has to be unoptimized buggy shit so people have to sink money into them


(has an xp 3000 gig of ram and 9800 pro FTR)
 
*jealous*

I would like to know where he got it from, but at the same time, I know it'd never be out around here on the east coast. We're too far away to get early releases. :P
 
:(

Is Tuesday the shipping date, or the in-store date?
 
Going by those screenshots, the game looks extremely dark, like you're almost required to play with your monitor brightness levels up to the max and with no lights on.

Plus it looks like an all-corridor shooter. Pardon my ignorance, but i've never played a Doom game before, but all indoor FPSers bore me.
Hopefully i'm wrong....

You avatar fucking rules.

Yes this game should require you to play without any lights on in a dark environment with your speakers cranked up. This is meant to be a very atmospheric game with immersive visuals to really tool with your mind and scare you.
 
I heard if you live on Long Island, NY you can pick it up at EB, Gamestop, or Best Buy Monday at 7:00 pm. They should be recieving them tomorrow (Sat).

Crosses fingers that some Meathead breaks the street date.

That just means the douchebag taking the screencaps doesn't know how to adjust the gamma.
 
:O crap why the hell was i out doing stuff tonite instead of looking for doom3, guess id isnt so strict about street dates?
 
Just finished installing, so I will take some shots. I know photobucket will get maxed out pretty fast, so if anyone else has some better hosting options, let me know.
 
Interesting stuff. Still, considering the great Canada deals that will be happening next week, it seems worth the wait (Futureshop: free copy of KOTOR, Best Buy: free copy of DX:IW)

...which reminds me, as much as a dark game can be nice, I hope it's not as pitch black as Invisible War. 10 minutes of that is enough to make anybody crank to the brightness and gamma.

that's why you have a flashlight in the game ;) it's SUPPOSED to be dark
 
Right now I'm in 1024x768 in Medium Detail. I haven't tweaked anything yet, and I should. Here's a few random shots, I'll take some better ones later.

I'm running a P4 2.8ghz with HT, 512 ram and a Radeon 9800 pro 128mb vid card.

That last shot is a neat little egg. The logo of the company is below the shot. I forget what it is, but it's an obvious spoof on Capcom. You just click the screen over and over and gain points. Nothing much too it. :D
 
Did a little changing of options, here's a little bit nicer shot.

I'm going to go get some playtime in now for a bit. So far I like it a lot!

yeah I just saw the flyer that came to my house today :p
 
More fun shots. I've been through the first area where I'm attacked, and I was jumping left and right. Yelped a couple times too.

Barrels and crates, oh my!

A quick stroll through airlocks. Almost ran out of oxygen taking pictures in the small area outside!

Ready to shoot things now.

Someone is not feeling too well. Must be a stomach bug. A STOMACH BUG FROM HELL.

Another nice shot up close of someone talking to me.

The flashlight makes things look really nice. In motion, you can see the little dust particles flying around in your beam of light. Looks VERY nice.

A little sentry leads me to my first mission.


I forgot to take good shots of combat, it gets pretty intense fast. If anyone can, they should probably 56k warn this thread. :P
 
speed what kind of framerate are j00 getting on that rig?
