lol

It still seems very far away

btw I reccomend surround 5.1's for Doom 3, esp if you want runny stains :E
 
Yeah, I would like to know where you found this information, since activision and id supposedly announced that August 27th was the official release. That release is also not proven, and it looks as though we really need some solid information.
 
The ones that scare you are the ones you don't hear coming....
 
its nonsense imo, if there was an official release date then it would be all over doomworld.com and doom3center.com
 
Just checked gamespot, gamespy and IGN.. all are still TBA 2004
SO, yeah, I'd definietly agree this is 100% fabricated
 
As of now, gold is my favorite color. :thumbs:
 
What exactly does the site say? I can't read German. I do understand that date however, and that is one of the dates that many people, including myself, are hoping for.
 
Should I be happy or not ? :|
I just upgraded my comp to a 3GHz P4 with 1 GB RAM and a 5.1 logitech sound system :E , but im using my old radeon 8500 :x until the radeon x800xt comes out. and I wont play doom until I have the x800, even if it works on the 8500. pls ATI, act fast!!!!
 
you get a free x800 xt with every copy of Doom3, didnt you know?

babelfish translation -
' Doom 3 ': Release date and price are certain
Now is it finally so far: The final release date and the prices for the hot desired Horrorshooter ' Doom 3: The Legacy ' are certain.
According to Activision England will appear the play in America and Europe at the same time, i.e. vorausichtlich to 14.06.2004. Into Europe it is converted 52.99 € to cost and in the USA 59.99 €.

too bad i wont have my x800xt until the 18th or so.
Where are you getting it from and were did you here about the release date?

compusa says it will ship around the 25th, but I live in canada and would prefer to buy it from ATI (who is in canada) because the shipping and handling is much cheeper.
 
you guys know if its dvd only? I dont have a dvd drive yet thats all ;(

You've apparently gone crazy. :laugh:

As for the DVD drive, if that happens, i'll be screwed as well. I can't afford a DVD drive at the moment because I JUST bought a new computer.

i hear ati will ship more (and the other ati partners) around the end of this month, and the beginning of june.

i said the 18th because i wont have enough money for a x800xt until then lol. pay day ;)
 
That is pure bullshit, there is not any official news regarding this subject, from id or Activision, don't say crap, if u don't know what you're talking about...

This is to take serious, not speculation around there:

Name: Todd Hollenshead

Description: CEO
Project:

03-01-2004

"Just a reminder to everyone that the official release date for DOOM 3 is "when it's done".
If you hear a release date from _anyone_ outside of id, then you should presume it to be false.
There have been some rumors floating around about this already, and I expect there will be more
between now and the time that you first see someone from id update a .plan file with the news
that the game has been finished. Don't believe them."

Doom 3 Interview - 25 May 2004 00:02 at Homelanfed.com:

"Todd Hollenshead - The PC game will be released this summer, but I don't know if the release will be before or after QuakeCon. I expect that we will work with Activision to have the Xbox version playable there, even if it's basically the same part of the game that was playable on the floor at E3."

Oh one more thing, about the Dvd release of the game is a lie too:

"Todd Hollenshead said two days ago that there won't be a DVD version."

Now believe in what u want...adioZ

btw: Seek & Destroy, the July issue also has Doom 3 Release date on the 15th of june
 
Well, many of the unofficial release dates are saying either the 14th or 15th of June, so lets just hope for the best.
 
yeah i hope its the 14th/15th. sooner the better. tho this does kinda contridict ID saying a summer release as summer doesnt officially start until june 21st.

Memorial Day sorta kicks off Summer even though technically it doesn't start til June 21.
 
If it does come out June 14th or 15th I'd be happy. It should be a good time waster until HL2 comes out :thumbs:.
 
I cant play this game... I dont like scary things... but its so tempting... I must... have... co-op...

Maybe a mod team will make some custom monster models and change the scary demons to furry bunny rabits and purple dinosaurs... wait, that may be a step in the wrong direction.
 
Bunny rabbits and purple dinosaurs will be in the German version.

Hahaha!! They surely ruined Carmageddon with the zombies and robots. Gladly enough, I don't live in Germany

PS: This thread is gonna get kinda lot of views.
 
i saw that same article on yahoo news a few days ago. damned if i cant find the link.
 
what? hl2 isnt goona beat doom3 date? u kidding me, i see a lot of bads for valve on this. but im not goona list them
 
Well i don't care if Doom 3 is out first. Lets take a look at some of the facts here.

Doom 3, 4 years in development, awesome graphics, remake of the first game, iD have admitted that the game is shorter then most games now-a-days. i think they said up to 20 hours maximum. 4 player multi-player (I know the engine is capable of more though). Also Doom 3 is going to be the first game that iD has made that is immersive. You'll feel more like your in the game like Half-Life then just playing the original Doom

Half-Life 2, going on 6 years in development, awesome graphics, sequel and not a remake, therefore more planning would've been put into it the story and scenario's. They made a whole new engine as well(just like Doom 3). And no offense to Doom 3 but it looks as though its going to be alot more original.

The wait for HL2 doesnt seem as long as Doom 3, mainly because Valve only told us last year about HL2, and iD showed us Doom 3 back in 2001.

If Doom 3 comes out first it'll just tide me over till HL2. I just hope iD have optimized the code so that it runs better on ATI cards then it did when several websites got to benchmark the game with both Nvidia and ATI cards. I think the Nvidia cards got something up to 100 FPS. And i can't remember what the ATI cards got but they weren't good
