Doom III is a PC game. Consoles just degrade and shorten PC version games. And don't get me started about console ports going to the PC's. IMO all PC games should be designed separately from consoles.
Right! Play DooM III on a console and you won't be getting the best deal. DooM III = PC game.

You have to understand that everyone does not have the money to keep upgrading to the next best gfx card. That is why people buy consoles.Quote:

and even if one does have the money, there might not be enough knowledge to upgrade
I just upgraded and am hoping it will run on my new system, P4 2.4 and RADEON 9500Pro. Even if I can keep it going in 1024 I will be happy.
I recently upgraded to the P4 3.0 hyperthreading and 800Mhz FSB, and well, you can see the specs in my signature....I'm hoping that will be ok...if not, kudos to ID and others for making an unplayable game ;) cant wait
Umm..I sorta jumped the gun here:o . I bought both my systems, see my sig, with D3 in mind. Hope my rigs are up to the rigors of d3:) . HL2 will be a great bonus as I was not aware that it will be released this year when I was putting my rigs together:D ;) .
I am planning to upgrade my computer anyway. I am not just upgrading for Doom 3. I would upgrade it for HL2 though! :cool:
I'm confident that the minimun requirements won't be that painful. The guys at ID know their job. Nevertheless I'm very curious about them. Anyone has some news about this?
Nope! Zip! Nada!;) I just hope that the video settings is fully scaleable, like HL2 where the min spec, supposedly, is a DX6 TNT vid card ;) . Then just 'bout everyone can join in the fun!:D :DQuote:

I'm pretty sure I'll get a better/faster CPU, and some better RAM.
I think a 1800+ and a R9500 will run it nicely.
My system a 9700 (OC'd) and a 2100+ @ 2200 Mhz.
Like I said, I sorta jumped the gun on this:o . Still, I'm somewhat optimistic that my rigs would be able to run both games with eye candy, aa and af on (but not at max), plus details set to hi/highest, I hope *clasps hands, kneels down and stares at the heavens*.:) (Hey, don't burst my bubble, alright? Let me live in this 'perfect' world of mine - at least till HL2 comes out, then, I'll see if an upgrade is in order;) :D )Quote:

i dont really think doom 3 will require such a high end pc to play it atleast at a playable level, ofcourse one will have to sacrifice detail settings and such.. i dont plan to upgrade for the next 3 to 4 years, i should be okay with a 9800 pro..im scared to upgrade ever again since when i did my major upgrade my alienware got stolen :(
