i just got doom 3 from a fileshare program, even thougth 1 file is corrupt the game runs..........

specs :
P III 850 mhz [ not enough

]
256 mb PC133 [ keeps running out of VIRTUAL memory @500 mb ]
Radeon 8500 128mb [ the ONLY thing in the box that runs it good ]

average FPS , 640x480 , 16 bit colour, 8 bit stencil, 16 bit Z buffer , anisotropic off . : 50-60 fps when away from monsters
average FPS with monsters : 5

for an alpha the game is pretty well coded, very few bugs and crashes.. except.. for.... THE LAG!
the is some kinda bug that reduces the FPS to 5 when your near a monster , you don't have to look at it, being 2 rooms away is enough .

Graphics : the textures make halo look bad.. REALLY . , the textures are obviouly open GL[ 2.0] cause they are sooth, but at close range the textures become BUMP MAPPED, you can see WRINKLES on the dead zombies, in 3rd person view your character has HAIR on his skin.
The shadows are VERY realistic, one light in the middle of a room can cast shadows across everything, metal and glass reflect light realistically making even more shadows.
The guns leave trails of flame which cast even MORE shadows. the models cast shadows on themselves, lips cast a shadow on the chin, noses etc.

Physics : DEAD bodies have realistic physics, if you shoot a zombie resting on a wall he slides down a bit lower . Barrels slide when you step NEAR them .

sound : NEXT GEN!! better than ANY game i ever played you gotta hear it for your self

gameplay.: dead zombies GET BACK UP!, demonic bulls burst out of the walls! YOU ARE GUARENTEED TO GET A HEART ATTACK IF YOU ARE OVER 30!

....sounds cool dude....

....i don't really get you when u say the textures make halo look bad....cause i mean halo for pc has really pathetic textures....so it more or less looks bad on it's own....

....but i'm pretty sure that most buggs will be worked out buy the time it's out cause id usually has pretty solid code for thier games.

How can yo bear to play it at 5 FPS?
I would get so frustrated that Alt+F4 would be the only way to stop the horror.
I'm planning to buy a new PC specifically for this game because your PC's specs and mine a basically the same and I seriously cannot play this game at 5 FPS.

this is the ALPHA! version.... 0.02!!!! they only fixed like 3 bugs from 0.01 !!!!

in the benchmarks a Radeon 9000 pro gets 20 fps at 1024x768 with a 3ghz, since this uses OGL the CPU is not involved in rendering.... so an 8500/4200 equipped PC would get something quite near

Also EAX

is used, i'm sure it is taking up 90% of my CPU time and most of the ram, turned off it should increase FPS alot without much game loss

only 4 maps

, speech is garbled with thing like

" i smell

?" which might be i smell flesh, human, man etc.
"??

? FLEE MORTAL

?

?? "
flashlight can turn on but not off

weapons include BFG 20K [ from quake but Bigger and F**** er ]
missle launcher from quake
a new shotgun, a pistol , chainsow, rail gun [ big arse machine gun not sniper rifle ] and a machine gun .

I plan to upgrade to 512 mb or even 2 gb of ram [ if mobo can hold 1 gb PC133] in a month or so. I am supposed to be getting a nu pc in 4-6 mths

I play Halo for PC and it seem cool blasting the *Covenant* with the shot gun so DOOM III should be nice (hehe).I never play Call Of Dutybut it look good.

TrinireturnofGamez · « **Reply #12 on:** January 06, 2004, 03:07:54 PM »

hl2 not coming out 4 box, HL2 uses DX9 , the box can only support dx 8

doom 3 will look better on a PC than the box... and you will be able to AIM DE FRICKING GUN properly.

THIS IS THE ALPHA! the BETA is't even out yet [ Id promised a beta version for all before game is released ] the average FPS will probably triple by the time the game is in a box .

d3 will be a good replacement 4 quake when it comes out.

I'm starting to think that you all are using some command to make the person who's viewing the topic name pop up in your posts.
It's kinda annoying.
