DoomZero Posted October 20, 2001 Okay. I've been noticing Doom 3 won't work shit on my Pentium II Processor. It will really suck if I can't even play it. Do you thing it'll be 'Pentium 4 Recommended'? Damn, if it is, it better come out for X-Box, which I will be owning as soon as possible. What do you guys think? Plus, I'm not all that new. You can read some of my work on the Fanfiction Section. I assure you, NONE of it is in post hell. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted October 20, 2001 I'm happy this game needs a whole new upgrade in order to run DECENTLY (read : not orange-smoothie). It allows you to set a new bar in graphics AND engine features. I'm pretty sure it will be ported to the X-Box, but that means playing it at a resolution inferior to 640x480, with crappier textures or chopped detail (there's one hell of a difference between 256 megs of RAM and 64 megs) and some messy 16x FSAA. Would it look good on TV? Hell yeah, best graphics ever for the X-box, no doubt. But I'll stick to my PC. Afterall, each id-licensed game will have higher requirements, whatever Epic makes after UW will have higher requirements, whatever Monolith or other companies do will have the same performance. It's a new bar. One of those few upgrades that are worth your money. Embrace it. 0 Share this post Link to post
AN7 Posted October 20, 2001 I want the system requirements to be rediculously high. Thats what i like about Id, they are always rasing the bar in Games Engines and System requirements. I think you WILL (realistically(?))need a Pentium IV or AMD Athlon. or if you want it smooth, an overclocked Athlon XP 1800+ with Ti 500, or something... :) i upgrade more than i should, so this game will make me feel its worth it :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Lord FlatHead Posted October 20, 2001 The Doom 3 engine was developed at id software on 1Ghz AMD Athlons with a GeForce DDR (and later, GeForce3 DDR) in them. People claiming that "Doom3 will require a Pentium IV 2Ghz" are out of their friggin minds. 0 Share this post Link to post
