Doom 3

Kenzya · 08-2-2004, 04:00 PM

Wow.

I got it this morning at around 4:00am...

Fucking awesome.

It's difficult, it's scary, it reminds me of oldschool Doom. Lighting and shadows are awesome..

Maybe tonight I'll play it on cam in the FFRchat..

Runs on my computer pretty goddamn smooth.
Specs..
Pentium for
2.0ghz
256 ram
Nvidia GeForce4Ti (I think it's Ti, I might not know what I'm talking about)

Edit: Fix'd

This game is insane. Got it off bittorrent, been playing for a few hours now. Scary as hell. Go get it right now. I'll post some screens later.

emccky · 08-4-2004, 07:50 PM

so its worth buyin? i was still debating whether or not to buy it, i guess ill go out to best buy tomorrow XD

I despise first person shooters. Therefore I despise Doom 3.

I just got it, and it's great. So far the multiplayer sucks, but mods should come out for it eventually. The single player's just extremely immersive. You have to take it slow to really enjoy it, but it's so worth it.

Kenzya · 08-4-2004, 11:35 PM

Thanks for the link to the planet doom forums, I'm going to try it out now

Kenzya · 08-5-2004, 03:01 AM

Ok, You have to do the Doom 3 tweaks. YOU HAVE TO.

I was lagging at Low Quality on like 600x480.. I tweaked it.. unpacked the pak's and changed some things in the cfg file and I was playing at Medium at 1024xWhateverItIs... Now I'm running it at High Quality at 800x600..

Anticrombie0909 · 08-5-2004, 05:00 AM

Yeah. Like, I found I was really lagging with advanced shadows on, but after I turned those and specular off I can run it at 1024x768 at Med textures and some settings enabled just fine. Also, the ONE KEY THING you MUST have enabled for the game to look Doomy and crisp is bumpmapping. The game looks like absolute crap otherwise.

Kenzya · 08-5-2004, 02:31 PM

But advanced shadows sounds cool :P

Notice any difference with those off? I heard about turning those off but that sounds like it would degrade the quality of the graphics.. which isn't what I'm looking to do..

Anticrombie0909 · 08-5-2004, 02:56 PM

Holy crap

I love Nickadeemus.

Seriously. That boosted my framerate tenfold, I can run it on 1024x768 with Textures on High and all settings enabled except for Shadows and FSAA. DO IT NOW. You won't believe the results.

I haven't gotten it yet (probably going to this weekend).

Anyway, I heard it was built off of the quake2 engine to save time.

SCREENIES

Kenzya · 08-5-2004, 11:09 PM

Yeah those spiders suck..

SCREENSHOTS OMGWTF
(I took these earlier so they're low quality..)

evilbutterfly · 08-6-2004, 01:29 PM

So wait, is there a complex storyline or is it just Doom with upped graphics?

Also, what are the guns? Is there a BFG!? THERE BETTER BE!!!

Kenzya · 08-6-2004, 01:40 PM

No, it's not Doom with upped graphics -.-

It's a new game entirely.. seriously, have you seen that stuff in Doom?

These screenshots are High Quality at 102x768

So sorry about the size.. this is the only time I will do this.. but it's gotta be done

Kenzya · 08-6-2004, 02:13 PM

Some more.. Still high quality just smaller resolution.. 800x600 I believe...
