Doom 3 Demo Out

Recommended Posts

The Doom 3 demo is finally out, so it probably means the finalized first patch, the Linux dedicated server, the SDK, and/or the Linux and Mac OS X ports aren't far behind. As expected, the demo consists of the first three maps. Grab the demo from these following places if you don't already have the game (what?!):

So, yeah. Post them links as you find them.

Heh, I'm downloading and trying it anyway, to see how it compares to the existing game.

:-( All the servers on 3D Gamer are on "Maximum Capacity." I can't download it from there. Does FileShack really charge their accounts?

Good, now I can check if Doom 3 is playable on my comp.


Heh, this coming from the man who gave us Deus Vult. :P

Anyways, last I checked, FS doesn't charge for membership.

/still hasn't bought XP

I really need to upgrade my OS. Funny how the alpha worked on ME, but the full version doesn't. Well, time to count my pennies.

Then play the demo to make sure I can run it...

The first time you take control of your character is probably the laggiest part of the game :)

Darn moving space shuttle!

I still haven't installed it, doh. I just blew an entire weekend (last 2 weekends, actually) on a PHP assignment that I JUST finished and submitted.

But that's for another blog.

Holy Santo Domingo Señor Ding-Dong!
Doom III froze my computer when loading those under ground labs. :P
Other wise, the first part of the game ran painfully slow at a good rounded 1fps with everything turned off. :P

Welp, that was fun. :D

Heh, that's 90% of the storyline for the game right there.

For those who don't bother reading the emails and listen to the logs yes.

If it doesnt actually affect the game than its just filler, not story

That's the worst piece of horse shit I've read to date. So, RTC-3057 hub1's story is just filler eh?

So you in your eyes, a story is one of those annoying gameplay elements I'd like to call "crucial cutscenes" and that sort of crap?

What you call "filler" is what I call a "non-forced" story - a story you can choose to engage in or not.

OK then here's the majority of Doom 3's "non-forced" story

"Everyone is going crazy! I keep hearing strange noises! I wish I could leave."

"Everyone is going crazy! I keep hearing strange noises! I wish I could leave."

"Everyone is going crazy! I keep hearing strange noises! I wish I could leave."

Damn, thats BIG, even the full (downloadable, yeah straight from rockstar.) version of Grand Theft Auto is smaller. Is that file even zipped? Why the hell do i still have dial up, a 10 MB download takes an hour, is there any other way to get it that is sane?

I know. That really dissapointed me. I was at 50% on a download manager, and the server broke or something and I had to restart. I need a better way to download...

like heck, why don't they sell it for 5 dollars for the poor people with dialup connections rather than force them to surf the web for 48 hours straight so they aren't disconnected overnight.
