Dead Men Walking

New screenie for Doom 3 for pc Looks purty! (http://www.finnglish.co.uk/Stuff/Doom.jpg)

But will it be as atmospheric as the original Doom? You know, you walk into a room, take a few steps, suddenly all the lights go out and somewhere nearby you hear breathing and it isn't yours! Suddenly, out of the corner of your eye you see...




...RON!

I would wait and buy it. I don't want to do a CZ again.

It's coming: http://www.planetdoom.com/images/photo/big/071004.jpg (http://www.planetdoom.com/images/photo/big/071004.jpg)

Note the quote on the front of the box there - presumably indicating that review code is out there, so it wont' be long til it goes gold now. Just hope there's a DVD version ;)

Point taken, sorry :)

ANyway it looks like a good game, great graphics etc, very scary looking.  I *will* be buying it when it comes out :)

August 3rd for the US.  August 6th for the UK.  Allegedly (http://www.shacknews.com/finger/?fid=toddh@idsoftware.com).

  IT'S DONE!!!!!!!

  Yes, this is the official word that DOOM 3 has been code released and has been approved for manufacturing!
  It won't be long now until the anticipation ends and the PH34R begins ;-) We literally just hung up with
  Activision and have confirmed that our latest release candidate has been mutually approved and is finally
  GOLD. Thanks to everyone for their patience (yeah right! =) and for everyone at id, Activision and our
  numerous partners for helping us create what I believe is absolutely the best game we have ever made.

  So, the next question is release dates. Retailers in the States will be allowed to pick up games starting
  at 12:01 AM on August 3rd. The official street date is actually August 5th in the U.S.A., but some of
  your favorite stores will probably have it early for those of you who have to have it first. Check with
  your local retailer for that information.

  Internationally, the game will take a few more days to make it to the store shelves. The UK will probably get it first, on or about August 6th. Everywhere else will probably be Friday, August 13th (que Twilight Zone Theme) or close to that date, with just a few exceptions (e.g. Russia and Poland). This isn't
  because we don't have love for you folks outside the U.S., but the localization and manufacturing process
  takes a bit longer outside the U.S. where we will have JVC run 24/7 to get the units built. I guess the
  European manufacturers prefer to give their employees nights and weekends off. Go figure!

  The champagne is flowing here at id and smiles abound!

  I'll update again with some DOOM 3 preparation tips (not what hardware to buy - you'll have to wait for
  a programmer for that sort of thing). In the meantime, I want to see those "DOOM 3 GOLD!!!" threads set
  new records for swamping message board servers, destroying productivity, and post counts ;-)

  Recapping today's headlines....DOOM 3 GOLD!!!

Yes TL (http://forum.deadmen.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=6812)

Ah, that'll be the poor use of english in your thread title which helped me totally miss the fact that it had something to do with Doom3. :(  I recalled there was a Doom3 thread and posted to it, I did not 'see' your thread.  Sorry.  

TL.

So from 6th August all CS servers will by empty :)

And then when we have all finished it on the 7th they will be full again!

Don't expect a drop in GFX card prices in the next month or so. All those punters waiting for Doom3 to be released before upgrading their cards are putting their orders in as I type. Sorry Frenzy  ;)

Amazon UK have it for £25

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B...=I1HW8O19WXJI5F (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000067NYP/ref=cm_mp_wli_/026-2110005-3796446?coliid=I1HW8O19WXJI5F)

don't get it from amazon! they are held under a contrcat which prevents them from sending the games out early! buy from game.uk.com as its the same price as amazon but u may get it early like i did with max payne 2 ;)

Actually, I just tend to buy games from a store at full price on the day of release. It's worth it to end a work week with a game you've been looking forward to. :)

new tech demo hot off the press and with new visulas check it out

Ghost,

I really do not know where you get your information from but you do have a habit of making sweeping generalisations that are just untrue.

The last 2 games I bought from Amazon arrived either the day before or right on the release date.  So they do send them out early but only to try to get the game to you in time. ALL, and I repeat ALL, distributors are held to the same contract. If a release date is set for a game then they are not allowed to send the game out early. Most will try and stretch things by making sure it reaches you on the release date but if you are getting yours several days early then GAME is pushing it's luck and may well get binned as a distributor by some game companies if they are obviously flouting the rules of the contract. Many distributors of videos had a hard time last year for selling DVDs before release date - IIRC Tesco got panned over it - can't remember which video but hey ho thats life.

[useless trivia] LotR:TT - HMV thought "screw this for unfair competition" and put it on sale early too (the Saturday before its official release date). [/trivia]
