This is a scan from MCV (game industry marketing mag based in the UK)

This mag is FREE to everyone in the gaming industry so this scan should be cool ... as no money is made from the magazine anyway.

Notice the line 'high-tech multi-media launch event' ... Quakecon anyone?
 
Hm certainly looks much better than it did last I saw of it. It might perk my interest... goodness knows I need a new game to play anyways.
 
Wow that marketing campaign is gonan be crazy! I wonder what HL2's is gonna be like.

One e-mail in the VALVe info thread saying HL2 has gone gold :|
 
"Comprehensive 6 month instore marketing campaign supported with POS"
POS? I Hope that stands for point of sale.

Anyway, can't wait for Doom 3. Preordered it from Amazon t'other day and I'll be looking out for that mini mag. Can't stand that font though. I hope they don't use it too much in the mag/game.

Yeah, you're right :)
lol, on the plus side, one e-mail spreads like wildfire in the HL2 community :)
 
The marine looks much better/more badass than he did in previous shots/alpha.
 
lookin mighty good :thumbs:
i wish August would already come.. argh!! :hmph: :frown:
 
/me is more excited about CS:S beta than Doom 3

Sorry! It's just.. argghh!
/me is a sinner again
 
lol yeah but...the date's jumpin around like a kangaroo on steroids ffs. first it's august, then it's november, then it's september...gimme a break! all i can say is that for all of us, that date can never come soon enough...
 
The marine looks so life like! :O

Finally id listened to my prayers and made him less plasticky! yay! :D
 
Get the lead our Marine!

I think its time to ditch my GeForce 4 :/
 
That shoulder pad erk mister shiny /me must not turn this thread into a D3 VS HL2 thread :p

Well anyway the marketing campaign should be good to see.
 
If you saw that marine a few years ago, you would say "wow, nice cinematic!"
 
I now laugh in the faces of the people who said that Doom 3 looks plastic. Take a good look at the guy's arms in the ad. And, is that hair on the arms I see?!

I love the new design, by the way.
 
WTF "WE SAID IT WILL BE OUT WHEN IT'S DONE...IT'S DONE!" Holy shit is it done or what?

It could be a concept art - but who knows.

I find so little differences between the HL2 concept art and the actual graphics, that I can't tell the difference!

Nah if you look at the shoulder pad you can see a little bit of blur on the ridges. That is caused when you have a low resolution bumpmap(displasment map) so I would guess that is a real ingame shot.

My only rant about the screenshot is how the shotgun floats in his hands. I understand how hard it is to get rid of that effect and it will be hard to notice it in game anyway so it does not really matter.

Yes at long last.

I can honestly say i am alot more excited for doom3 than i have ever been for half life2, because i know its coming out and soon..maybe when valve finally give some proper news on their release HL2 might become exciting news again.

I don't think it's floating in his hand, I think he's just holding it with his fingertips, is that a real in-game screenshot? :eek: Damn thing looks like a render!

Well if they havent toned down the graphics since that doom3 alpha got leaked then yes thats definately an in-game screenshot, it could even look worse than the alpha i played. All i can remember is it was unreal (it was over a year ago now) and i can remember it still looked better than farcry does (and this was 1.5 years ago or so)..trust me, doom3's graphics are unbelievable if they didnt tone it down :thumbs:

Tone it down! Shit that was just the alpha I wonder how the final product is going to be! :eek:

While I expect the graphics to be top notch - I can expect my 9800 pro falling like a stone to give me bearable FPS at high settings in Doom III. :(

So no Mr.nice looking marine for me. ;(

But then it's Carmack we are talking about - he can run the damn thing on a 3 year old comp (xbox) so there is still some hope!!
 
I think doom3 will be highly optimized to run on alot of pc's..a 9800 isnt bad :p you could probably run the game on highest (or near) but no AA/AF or any fancy things like that if the rest of your pc is good.

I remember reading doom3's reqs, i can only remember it having a 2.4 ghz cpu reccomended.

Well i think the Xbox screens look pretty damn nice considering consoles graphics are poo (and at shit low ressolutions) compared to the likes of a pc's so i really cannot speculate just how uber doom3 will look running on a 6800/x800
 
Doom3 will be the most graphically advanced game of 2004, no doubt about that. And I doubt anything coming out in 2005 will top it either. And the engine is capable of so much more than what is shown in Doom3, Doom3 really only scratches the surface. There is no doubt in my mind the Doom3 engine will rule the FPS genra for many years to come, just like the q3 engine did.

Yep with ya there, HL runs on a heavily-modified Q2 engine, so if it wasn't for Quake (id) we wouldn't have all this.
 
Yea, I can't wait to see what new classics are brought to life by id's new technology.

Quake 4 is under development so that should shake us up for sure, the Quake line hasn't done enything but being revolutionary.

And some classic old classic games that were cool that I would like to see re-done are:

Blood
Shadow Warrior
Rise of the Triad
and Duke Nukem (HURRY THE F**K UP 3D REALMS!!!)

Ahh the good 'ol DOS days.
 
Doom 3 may have the latest graphics technology in the world, but does it have SEXEH WOMEN!?!?

I NEED TEH SEXEH! :naughty: :naughty: :naughty:
 
Does Half-Life 2 have SEXAY WEAMON?!?!...I DONt.....wait....oh yeah....
