DooM³ GameStar review on June 2nd

yay

2 things though

1: wait arent that illegal?

2: its german I cant read it :( most of us cant!
 
Where did you get the information? That's gonna be cool! Doom3 can't be far away
 
Is everyone like not interested in Doom3 or what? The thread title says "Review in June 2nd", and the thread has only 76 views.

June 2nd man! And it's a review, not preview. That would mean Doom3 is coming out in less than two months

I see the first post has been edited though, for containing something illegal...What's happening?

That's only a difference of one letter. To be honest, it took some time before I realised the importance of it being a review.

I hope it's true. :D

Yeah. What I was trying to say is, that usually magazines call it a review, if the game has been released at the moment magazine comes out. So Doom3 would be out by June 2nd, or maybe couple days sooner or after.
 
Well both gamespot and EBgames store sites say ETA - 6/15/04 for doom 3. Though, i remember something like this happend before, i forgot the name of the game but it was only about 2 weeks before realease and they got hacked, and it was delayed for a whole year, cant remember the name though :|
 
Yeah...Allthough the retailers usually don't know any more than us, maybe they could be right this time since the official Doom3 site has links to EBgames and gamespot preorder. Who knows, who knows...We'll see
 
If it is going to be reviewed on June 2, why doesn't ID software announce that Doom3 has gone gold and will be released June 2? I doubt gamestar will be reviewing Doom 3 on June 2.
 
It's not necessary gold yet. If it was released June 15th, it wouldn't have to go gold 'till end of May or start of June. It would still hit the stores in June 15th.

Game reviews are almost always done using a special review version, which the game publisher, I think, sends to magazine writers. This way the review can be made before the actual release of the game, so people can read how the game is. If the game is say over a month away, it's called a preview :)

Perhaps Doom3 goes gold around the beginning of June and all the games magazines get their review copy on June 2? Don't forget that these magazines usually don't have to wait for the game to be in stores.

EDIT: Seppo beat me to it! :cheers:

Well I'd definately love for this game to hit within the next 2 months as I'm looking forward to it even more than Halo 2 and Half-Life 2, but just because it's going to be reviewed unfortunately doesn't mean it will be out around then. iirc Condition Zero had some reviews months before it's release. I'm gonna go ahead and go with your opinion though because quite frankly I NEED this game already :)

Also, might as well ask it in this thread, does anyone wanna get together for some Doom3 multiplayer matches when it finally releases?

I'm in. It's gonna be awesome. Allthough, despite all the optimism, it's quite early to start planning matches :)
 
Could someone by the way point out the source of this information. Where did you hear that Gamestar is having a review in June 2nd?
 
Is Gamestar available in the US or is it one of those UK-only magazines? I gotta get the Doom3 issue

I believe it's German?
 
argh. hopefully some scans/translations make their way online shortly thereafter I gotta know what's said

excellent. thanks man I've never even heard of that site.

Yeah, I've never even heard of the game :p

But one would expect more info and a solid E3 presentation if a magazine is able to give a REview. Let's hope so.
 
Actually there isn't much indication that Id is even gonna be at E3 this year. I wouldn't be suprised if they were, but John Carmack has stated before that he hates it when a company showcases the same game for multiple E3s. They've already showed it at 2 now I think so he may just decide not to show it at all. It is definately getting close to release though. Usually when asked about Doom3's release date they always answered "When it's done" but at a recent Convention Carmack finally said it's "really close now" or something along those lines. So yeah I'd expect it sometime in the summer.
 
June 15 is my birthday so of course it's coming out then. :)
 
Awesome, hope they release a demo before the actual game
 
So the time is near, only five days. It's going to be interesting to see whether they actually have the review. I'm kinda skeptical about it, but we'll see. One possibility is that with "review" they actually mean "preview from E3", which wouldn't surprise me at all.

PS. Yeah, I know this thread is old, but now that it's almost June 2nd, I decided to get this back up. After all, isn't that better than making a new one?

Yeah that would be nice.

yeah, i had never thought of a demo of doom3, i was always going to buy it. but now i got my hopes for a demo, maybe even before the official release.

unless they stated otherwise?
 
These dates are all bs.

There will be no such review. Though i will gladly eat my words if there is one.

Hl2 was not delayed because of the hack. Gabe said it himslef, someone asked if HL2 would come out on 2003 if there had been no hack, he said "no"

guys basically I would wait for Id's gold press release. But no doubt the game pretty much finished.
 
Yeah, but it's kinda stupid from a magazine to promise a review if no one knows when the game will be released. Maybe they actually ment a preview from E3... I don't know I don't speak german ;)
