Naked Snake Posted September 3, 2003 fp! Yay for all you console people that can't play Doom 3 on your crappy systems :-P Also, I wonder if they'll enhance or remove from the MP aspect of Doom 3... 0 Share this post Link to post
The Ultimate DooMer Posted September 3, 2003 Well, given that the XBox has the power of a 700MHz PC, isn't that a crappy system as well? 0 Share this post Link to post
Cyb Posted September 3, 2003 yeah but the xbox doesn't have to run an operating system under it (aside from a minimal win2k kernel) nor any other processes aside from the game, plus consoles are specific hardware, so it's not hard to tweak a game to work on a single platform. xbox is also quite powerful, I don't think it'll have many problems running 640x400 (or whatever TV res is) doom3 with a couple settings cut down 0 Share this post Link to post

Ralphis Posted September 5, 2003 If you're going to get a console, get the one with the least PC game counterparts (Gamecube). Those are always the best consoles 0 Share this post Link to post
XDelusion Posted September 5, 2003 Game Cube is good, but a little underpowered when compared to the XBOX... ...you lack the lighting effects, and hard drive, and a MOD chip! :) XBOX should be able to handle DOOM 3 with most features turned on from what I have read from Carmack himself. As for DM features... ...cut em'. Who needs DM anyhow, didn't we burn out that idea with Quake 2!?!? (I just had to piss you DM people off) :) Seriously though, I won't be able to use XBOX Live anyhow cause my Box is of course MODed to the teeth. I'd of course like to have it on my PeeSea, but seing as I own an ATI Radeon All In Wonder 7200, and really NEED that Video In Out feature, and can't afford the new All In Wonder just to play DOOM 3 on my freaking PC, I think I'll settle with the XBOX version. Besides, I am quite used to the Joypad now, and enjoy kicking back on the couch to play my games as opposed to always hunching over the computer. 0 Share this post Link to post

Arno Posted September 6, 2003 It's amazing that post by Aca isn't deleted yet. Maybe the mods are still trying to decipher it. 0 Share this post Link to post
