It's slated for an 24th September release in the UK with the US version following a week later. Didn't expect it that quick, that's for sure.

I'll probably just grab it for the bawkz .... I really don't feel like dumping 2 grand into a PC just to be able to play a game with full detail. I'm glad to hear that it won't be that long before it finally hits a console - hopefully it be delayed or some $hyte.

2 grand? You pull that number from your ass?

:rolleyes: .... No. I'd have to buy a completely new rig (I've got a P4 1.7) just to put the game on high detail, and personally I don't think it's worth it. I've heard of people with 3 GHz machines who can't even run the game with all the bells and whistles. The hardware needed to run Doom 3 properly is a bit expensive for my tastes at the moment, but that's just me.

My processor is a amd 2000+ which is only 1.67ghz. all you need is a nice video card and 1gb of ram.

PS. :rolleyes:

While the cost isn't 2 grand, I'm also just not big on constant upgrades to my PC to play a game, so XBox will be cool with me, not all that excited about it anyway, enemy designs kinda sucked last I saw.

It's all about the ambience and sense of dread the game is said to create.

How nice is nice? I'm guessing that to make up for the lack of processing power, I'll need one of those $500 jobs (thankfully I've got the ram part covered). Which card did you get that allows you to have what you consider a worthwhile Doom 3 experience?

I have a Radeon 9800 pro, which I believe can be had for a little more than $200 now. I only played on medium graphics settings so far, which still looks great, and had no problems at all. When I get home from work today, I'm gonna experiment with the better graphics settings and probably dl that beta ati driver.
