Bought Doom 3 today, it was only £25 from Game. Has anyone played it yet? I've been playing it all night, I was stoked that it even ran on my computer in decent detail settings. It's pretty damn nice, old school gameplay with the bestestest graphics.

I dont see why people have to buy 512 mb video cards when the minimum is 64 mbs for Doom 3.

My system is the following:

Pentium 4, 2.8 HT Ghz
512mb DDR Ram
Nvidia Geforce FX5200 128mb Graphics
etc...

I have no idea if Doom 3 will run on it.

What do you think Trev?

I'm running it at 1280x1024 with the detail set to low and it looks great. Really, there's not much difference between low and ultra besides the textures and the normal mapping looking slightly sharper.

I think the game was ok ... well more than ok ... but not really that great. It was not a revolution in game playing allthough the graphics engine of course beat anything right now. The game engine seems quite effective and I feel the game runs better than FarCry for instance.

Also the story is pretty descent if you care to learn it. A big improvement over the other Doom and Quake games. Overall a good single player experience.

Hey Jon, I reckon you'd be able to run it in low/medium detail. I got it on High detail at the moment, 800x600 resolution and no antialiasing.

i already got something similar called Doom Legacy. its basically Doom with the Quake engine, and supports Direct X8 for cool graphics all'st ya need are the original Doom wads. but better still theres jDoom which supports 3D models of the bad guys

Doom 3 may have super pumped mega graphics requiring the latest technology to run, but they still can't give a bald guy a curved head.

Just put a bit of Gourad shading on it, that'll fix it.

Gourad shading wouldn't fix it. What gourad shading does is calculate the lighting at the vertices, then it uses those values to calculate a shading gradient for the polygon, making the lighting appear smooth. That wouldn't fix the appearance of edges -- the only way to fix that would be to increase the polygon count or use some sort of 3d vector format (nurbs?).

I'm guessing Chris was joking, with gourad shading being pretty primative these days?

Actually ATI incorporated Truform(tm) into its gfx cards long ago. Basically Truform(tm) do some magic so the triangles form a beautiful curve instead of a well not so curved curve. The game need to support it though (to work properly but can be forced on in the control panel) and you can clearly see a difference in eg. Counter-Strike.

No wonder nobody releases anything for Linux then.
Erm, yeah, Cybermaze, I read about that Truform thing in my ATI manual, but I've yet to see a game that properly supports it. I don't think you can actually force it, cos I've noticed no difference in any game.

woo i just bought my mates Radeon 9600pro worth a measly £75 for an even more measly £50 and it runs D3 in high quality, everything turned on, AAx2, 1024x768. its fine for 90% of the time but sometimes it goes a bit jumpy but hell my laptop played it all jumpy so im not bothered.

top game but i can see it getting boring after a while. but so far the graphics are still impressing me and the story is picking up with the 'growth' and all. whatever the hell that is

i - acquired - doom 3 and i must say, once you've cut through all the hype, it's a pretty basic game. the lighting effects (ohh, ahh) are impressive at first, but walking around constantly in areas so dark that it's impossible to shoot at enemies (no flashlights on guns? why?) gets tedious quickly. the enemies are dumb and easy to kill, and monsters constantly jumping on you from behind and arseraping you is just frustrating. another thing - why did no one put any WINDOWS in this damned martian complex?

i'm happy with Far Cry for now. it's much more impressive if you ask me.

Lazarus: Umm no they don't, I know there are at least some closed source programs for Linux out there (the official Java VM, various drivers), not games but why and how would a license force just games to release the source code. There's no GPL license or anything forced on Linux programs.
