Hello, and welcome to the DW Doom 3 General forum. I'm Moderator no. 2 of this forum.

To begin with, I'd like to tell you that I'm sure a lot of us feel the same as you, but we know that id needs time to perfect the game. It means a lot to us that id Software don't rush this game and make sure that it becomes a worthy follow up to the original series.

So my advice to you is to take it easy and try and enjoy the games that are presently out - Doom 3 will come, don't worry, but id needs time to make it work good without too many bugs. Ok?

Another thing: I'm not sure that posting a whole thread about this is such a good idea. No offence, but there are a lot of people who already feel the same as you - it is nothing that can be discussed in detail and might therefore only generate spam and ridiculous comments. Now, if you made this post in an existing thread (provided that it would've been on topic and/or appropriate), then it wouldn't have been quite so bad.

Just don't do that again please.

[sickdrummer]

ok sorry about making that thread but had to get it off my shoulders. sorry.

[dsm]

It's ok, I just warned you about what *might* not be the best idea.
But you're welcome to join any discussion we have about Doom 3 or come up with new ideas to discuss - just do us all (yourself included) a favor and read Flathead's FAQ thread at the top of the Doom 3 General forum page if you haven't already.

Doom forever.

Only 8 months to go :P

[AirRaid]

Yea, id can can take long as they want on Doom3 IMO, for 2 reasons -

A) I saw what happens when a game gets rushed when THPS3 PC got released... sooo many bugs and unfinshed bits.

B) I need time to save up and buy a new CPU/Motherboard :P

Well. They say it wil be released in 2003, so it's the 1st January or later. They also say it will be before E3, so it will be May 21st (or so) or sooner. Anytime in between.

[sickdrummer]

well that sounds good only 6- 8 mo's i can wait that long.cause i just go a new computer just to play that game anyway. do you think it is 6-8 mos for the full version? or the demo. hopfully the demo comes out sooner

The specs of your new comp?

[sickdrummer]

p4 2.53ghz w/533fsb
512 ram upgradable to 2gig
2 80gig drives setup as Raid 0 so it acts like160gig but with crazy speed.
Gforce 4 ti4200 128ram
Soundblaster live 5.1
DvD player

Hopfully this will do it. i mean i run right now SOF 2 with all the seting turned way up and that shit fly's.let me know what you think.Plus i have a demo of that Game KREED which is similar to DOOM3(graphics intense..but Doom 3 with be better i think) and it runs super fast and looks great.

[Shaviro]

Hello, I am gatewatcher. I'm one of the admins here so stay on my good side. =P

Anyway, welcome to the forums.

[Lord FlatHead]

I bought a GF4ti4200 today, I'm happy with it though it's becoming painfully apparent that my 900Mhz CPU is becoming a bottleneck.

Why did you get a gf4 when you can get the radeon9700 for the same price?

[AirRaid]

Heh... I got a Ti4400 about a month ago now... great card, but I'm wondering whether I should have waited for the NV30...

that's right. i bought my Ti4600 back in june and paid $350 for it. Now i wouldn't even consider buying it with with the Radeon out. It spanks the Ti4600 rightfully up and down.

Don't hold yer breath - just because id say that they want to release the game before next E3 doesn't mean that it's actually gonna happen - they might run into extra trouble killing bugs or there may be other issues that prolong the development.

[sickdrummer]

thats ok if it takes alittle more time. but i hope they at least come out with a 2 level or less demo to keep us busy. i really hope they get that demo out real soon. or a beta test or somthing im just realy dying to see it in action and be able to move around and check out all the sites and stuff like that

[Ultimate Demon]

Isn't ID ready with the graphics engine? What more do they have to do befoure they release the game?

You can't be serious in that question!
They need to do all the MAPS (and the maps take a long time to do in this engine), they need to sort out all the BUGS, they need to do all the SCRIPTED EVENTS, they need to BALANCE the weapons and monsters.

And there might even be MORE than that that they'll have to do that I didn't think of.

I bought it from a buddy of mine, for $100 and my old GF2MX.
