For all who care. I can't imagine porting this monster. I have no doubt the PC version will look 5x better.
But good to see the game will run on x-box hardware and not this super "urber" GPU crap.

It was reported in the Official XBox Mag a couple issues back that Doom3 was going to be ported over. Same with HL2

Good news...

Quick Searched the forums and didn't see any other posts. So I'd figure just to give it a shot.

And I guess I should of posted this in the App/software forum. :/ Whoopsi.

Ahh its cool, wasnt trying to flame ya or anything. The mag never said who was porting it, just that it was going to be ported. I dunno about you but I'm looking foward more to HL2 than I am D3. Doom was cool when there were no other worthy FPS' available, but there is much better competition out now.

I agree. It seems like ID wants to use Doom every time they developed a new graphic engine.

Doom 64 was just awful. It is just a old died out game which many critics and fans said should of died with Doom 2!

I'm hoping the game will be more interactive. If they could make it like Silent Hill 1 meets Unreal Tournament I will love it. I'm still and old time Doom fan. I just like the atmosphere it creates.

I thought the whole idea behind the XBOX was the easy of porting over from computers since they both use a windows platform.
