DOOM3

PLEASE NO! NO! NO! Not Doom 3!:disgust:

That's fine with me... I hate FPS's on consoles so I won't be buying it for either the xbox or ps2. Give me a mouse/keyboard anytime. As long as it's on PC I'll be happy

Do you believe everything you read?

I have eleventeen billion dollars

Uh, no. Carmack has already said this game is mostly about looks, so I don't think his opus magnum will be seen at 640x480 on a television set.

Besides, the game makes such heavy use of DX9 that I don't think Xbox gots what it takes to push 'em polys.

ID's not dumb. They know this game will sell like wild fire for the PC, and MS would have to give a ton of money to delay the release. I dont think MS would hand out that much cash.

You sure it's not openGL? I'm not up to date on it, but all thier games up until now have only been OpenGL. Also, I know they already have it running on mac OS X, which doesn't do directX.

Hehe, now that I think about it, I'm not sure. However, they did say that they were using the latest features of the Radeon 9700 and FX 5800, which would make the game logically DirectX 9 compatible 🙂. But they probably do use OpenGL.

I don't know what's the big deal... the only console that can even handle it would probably be xbox... for the ps2 or gc, it's going to be seriously downgraded that it's main appeal (revolutionary graphics) would be gone.

 

[yoda291]

I'm pretty sure the xbox would not handle the game well. Anyone whose xbox is currently wired into an HDTV would notice immediately.

It's going to be run in 640x480 resolution... i think the xbox can handle it. It'll lose some features of course, but it wouldn't look anything like on the GC or PS2 imo.

IIRC, the xbox can push higher resolutions to higher def tvs. and at last check, no console today has hardware support for dx9. I'm not even sure if they have support for dx8. The entire graphics engine for d3 would prolly need to be rewritten...which is kinda counter-productive I think.

I doubt they'll need to rewrite the entire graphics engine... they said that Doom3 should run on even a GF2, probably crappy, and without a lot of the bells and whistles of DX9, but it'll run. And even if it needed DX9, the xbox might be able to handle it. It is base on the PC platform.
