Doom 3 Release Date Set... Kinda

fp. ahem...

any way.. $30 to $780 million??? good lord.

BY $30 million to $780 million, not FROM $30 million.

Reading comprehension.

Why do all the big titles get moved years ahead of their inital release date? When I heard about Half-Life 2's source leak, I was like "Well, I always have Doom 3 to look forward to..."

Sorry, I'm just a stupid american.

dur.. ack pbfft!

Well, this gives me more time to prep for doom 3.

Id say march but who really knows. This means its coming out at least. No duke nukem forever syndrome.

(Grumble..)

This gives me more time to not care about Doom3!

And finish Z00M :)

But yeah, mo' time = mo' bucks = mo' upgrades = Yay

nanami,

if you do not care about doom 3, then why do you read a post about doom 3? the subject matter is stated very obviously in the topic. crimony.



ahem, it's certainly taken a lot longer than i would've expected.

I clicked the icon that showed me there were new posts, which led me here.

That would be hilarious if DNF made it out before Half-Life or Doom 3.

Back in the early days of development I didn't believe Dec 10th 2003 would be the release date because it just seemed too long to develop a game, plus from those screenshots the engine looked just about done. You can call me a monkey's uncle.

the fiscal year starts in April, so not March

We should be encouraged then, because that'd mean they've mostly been working on game content all this time.

Well, it probably happens to smaller titles too. But you never hear about them :P

So those are *projected earnings it doesnt mean it wont get released earlier just that the earnings will *def* be higher april through whatever ;).

It sucks when they hype the games up and then push back the release dates to the point that when the game actually gets released, people go "meh". You don't dangle chum at a shark and then go "oops, hang on there, come back next week".

Or maybe you should shut the hell up since alot of us take German.

They couldn't have pushed back the release date because they never really announced one yet.

well, its still alot later than people were predicting. a December 10th release would have been great. not only is it the birthday of DOOM, but my birthday as well.

Oh how cool is that...

Originally on the Amazon.com site it said it would be on April '04. So May/June is really no shock at all.

So wait, isn't the argument here that id shouldn't push back release dates that other people are setting?

well i dont really know when the game is coming out but i reserved my copy at gamestop and they said it would be out march 6th and i got this cool little statue of a baron of hell. It was the old one but it is still cool.
