No, never.
How would the PS2 be able to handle an engine like that?

Doom 3 Bag Of Spanners

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

I come to think Doom3 is 4 years of wasted time, I was bored of the game no less than a few hours after playing it, I was looking forward to it since it was announced and Like many Found it a HUGE dissapointment..

Lol, a BIG bag of spanners :D

LOL - Doom 3 on Voodoo5...

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

You know I've been playing this off and on (due to not having enough time) for the last couple of weeks, and it's taught me one thing.....

I'm really CRAP at games :(

I'm looking for alpha labs 4 btw.... useless me :)

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

mighty looking nice screenshots there jamesclarke555 :D :rofl:

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

When I installed it on my laptop - I got a whole 3fps :)

I was amazed that it worked at all to be honest.

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

Waste of time this game really I think. I tried it and didnt get into it, maybe ill try it again another time. Thank god i didnt buy it :(

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

I wish I could try Doom 3 :cry:

Re: darkness - just alter your monitor brightness to maximum. Should let you see in areas that are too dark. In reality you would be able to pinpoint the origin of sound and fire in that direction - a la Silence of the Lambs. You can't do that with a game though - not that I've heard of.

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

Can with a 7.1 speaker system. :D

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

Surround sound? Does it work though? If something is behind you, does it sound behind you? Now that would be cool. I want a new computer :cry:

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

I meant to ask you, how did you set up your ZS PP for surround sound gaming? I'm having a b*stard of a job, I've got a set of Inspire digital speakers which has three digital ins two analog (l and r) there's 3 outputs on the actual ZS card itself but I seem to have most sound coming through the rear speakers :(

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

Well that's the general idea, yeah. :erm:

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

It helps to use the speaker calibrator in the Creative Audigy 2 start menu list.
I've never used 5.1 so the connections will be different though. :shrug:

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

I think there must be something wrong with my drivers heh, all I get is ERROR: Calibrator will now exit.

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

Sorry. All this modern technology - it's all new to me :D

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

That could explain why your speaker volumes are screwed up then. :D

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

EAX and surround sound gaming has been around for years.

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

My PC is ancient. When I went to Uni I had to stop concentrating on keeping up with the latest hardware, and start concentrating on information systems. I'm way out of touch. If anything, these days it's much more complex because of the range of choice and the extent to which technology has developed.

I've just checked and my soundcard supports 4 speakers. I have headphones. Give it a few years though and I'm sure I'll be able to have extra ears added.

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

No need, you can buy 5.1 headphones which have extra speakers inside. :)

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

:cry: There must be something I do know :erm:

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

Actually I was looking forward to seeing a piccy of you with extra ears ;):D

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

This a thing of yours? :naughty:

Oh, BTW, how's the breast problem? Did you get it sorted? ;) :D

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

I'm not going onto doom 'till about 8 tonight....

But I think I'm gonna take your advice and shoot the boobies :)

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

After a bit you develop a feel for where the vulnerable bits are likely to be. Games don't differ drastically in how they're programmed. That said, it took me about a month to kill the big baby at the end of Half-life :p:

You watch - it'll be its knee caps or something daft that are vulnerable :rolleyes:

This article is very interesting:

Fair play to ATI, they are 100% honest here...

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

"as you can see, there's a mip map transition line running across the middle of the grate on the floor in our example screenshot"

Be damned if I can see it. Sheeesh. Some people don't know they're born - should check out the original Doom and then moan about lines :)

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

I can see it, very clearly. :erm:
I insist on playing every game I own with 8xAA because I really hate crappy textures.

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

<suddenly remembers to mention to Coggy his idea of an "Anorak of the Month" award>

:p: :D

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

No biggy, just use AF in control panel and issue gone, it's a bug in the drivers which will be fixed.

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

My god that is the funniest thing ever. I nearly wet my self it was that funny.:D

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

:rofl:
Nothing beats playing Doom 3 in the dark. :cool:
It reminds me of when my mate Mandy played it, during one scene she let out an ear-piercing scream which lasted like 10 seconds. Classic. :D

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

I've only been able to play it on a night when my missus is at work.... And the cow (being nice there) manages to creap up the stairs and jump me EVERY TIME I'm playing it :D

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

Play it at 3am wearing a pair of headphones ... have a spare pair of underpants close by for when the mrs creeps in and shakes the back of your chair, since that incident I've turned my PC desk round so I can see the door opening.

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

I was thinking of putting a mirror above my computer - as the door is directly behind me :)

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

I'm sure that would make the atmosphere worse if anything. :D
I'd have to keep looking into it "just to make sure" nothing is behind me.

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

What's worse is that I'm just like the bloke in that video - I scare too easily :)

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

The first time you meet the four-legged beastie when you're stuck in the little room with a glass wall. One of our cats chose the exact moment he jumps through the glass to jump up onto my lap.... poor cat went flying I jumped so badly.
