SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI - News) confirmed today that id Software's highly delayed DOOM 3(TM), will be released when it's ready. The latest installment in one of the most over-hyped franchises in gaming history, DOOM 3 utilizes id's three generation old 3D graphics engine to draw low polygon models in the most frighteningly stupid gaming experience ever created.

"DOOM 3 is the most delayed PC game of the year and fans around the world are fed up of waiting for its release," Ron Doonink, CEO, Activision Publishing. "Id was delivering the most compelling horror gaming experience in 1998, so don't hold your breath for DOOM."

"This summer we're sending game fans on a first-class trip to Mars -- so they STFU about how long development has taken," said Todd Hollenshead, CEO, id Software. "DOOM 3 is coming to the PC and delivering the most overdue, overhyped and visually impaired gaming experience ever conceived."

Mixed signals here....

I'm not sure where you got that from but the official release says this:
""This summer we're sending game fans on a first-class trip to Mars -- with a layover in Hell," said Todd Hollenshead, CEO, id Software. "DOOM 3 is coming to the PC and delivering the most atmospheric, terrifying and visually mind-blowing gaming experience ever conceived.""

Amazon and Play.com have dates of August 14th I think.

Hmmm,
I hope they dont release Half-Life 2 at the same time, other wise Doom 3 can kiss my shiny metal ass.

Any (sensible) recommendations? :)

A Radeon 9800 Pro:

They are faster than even the NVidia FX5950 in most games and are ridiculously cheap at the moment.

If you want the ultimate card, then get one of these:

I'm waiting for the Sapphire X800XT to become available at the bottom of the page myself... :)
Forget NVidia, they cost about £100 more for less performance. :confused:

Re: Doom III - summer 2004!
 

While I wouldn't recommend NVIDIA for last generation, the GeForce 6800 GT is by far the best "bang for buck" purchase this summer...period!

Those pics are fakes some bloke on an other forum made them up, if you look closely it is even the same picture with more than a little photoshopping done, the lightng is identical on both shots and the desk/keyboard are lined up in frame exactly the same! However they do look quite nice. I gree about there being a DVD version after all Farcry and UT2k4 had cd and DVD versions.
