C&C: Renegade --> Dying since 2003™, resurrected in 2024!
I'm going to have Doom 3 in about 20 - 30 minutes, Can't wait! I'll post some screen shots of me getting my ass kicked a little later ok. I just can't wait my dad bought it this morning and he's only at work for half a day today cause it's my sisters birthday so after he gets home I'll install Doom 3 and take a few screenshots. I got a PC Gamer magazine yesterday, Doom 3 looks really good. ID is also very good at making sure that there are just about no bugs with their games except maybe hardware issues and such. My computer is above the minimum requirements so I think I should be able to play it fine. Minimum Requirements: Processor: 1.5 ghz RAM: 384 mb Video Card: ATI Radeon 8500 or better (Dunno about NVidia) Mine Computer: Processor: 2.1 ghz RAM: 512 mb Video Card: ATI Radeon 9600 Pro My computer is probably about mid range, I'll see what I can put it up to for the max OMG OMG OMG OMG MY DAD IS HERE NOW WITH DOOM 3!!!!!
i wonder if my computer will be able to handle it: P4 3.2 Ghz w/ HT 1 gig DDR2 RAM (533 Mhz) 128MB PCI Express x16 ATI Radeon X800 SE Allllllllll-riiiight... [/quagmire]
I hear they ripped off the System Shock scare techniques, including voice\text logs of the crewmen who were inhabiting the station that you're attacking. System Shock 1 and 2 did a great job of atmosphere with the logs, a lot of them were downright bone chilling - hearing how the crew died and how you're all alone in a station of mutants and cyborgs with an AI that wants to kill you doesn't help make you feel any more secure. http://www.ttlg.com/ss1/voiceres/ Some good stuff in there.
http://www.suprnova.org downloaded the full game plus a no cd crack from there. Using Bit Torrent it took about 10 hours. Only Problem is i dont have any blank disc's to burn it onto so i have to wait.
The plot also seems similar to Half-Life...or at least the beginning part of it anyway. Experiment gone wrong in huge scientific facility...monsters everywhere...
I don't think my Pc can run it fine. I got a: Amd Athlon 2000+ (1,76 ghz) Nvidia g-force 4, ti 4200 128 mb ddr 512 ddr memory
Alone on a Mars station alone with Hell's monsters running all over is alot creepier than a cyborg. :rolleyes:
I heard it gets boring after a while, just shooting at the dark and all.
How are you all getting this early? Are you downloading it from warez sites?
j4S[p ]Alone on a Mars station alone with Hell's monsters running all over is alot creepier than a cyborg. :rolleyes: You never even played the Shock series, did you? There's a reason why System Shock 1 and 2 are called the scariest games of all time. http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?gameid=3924
SEAL The plot also seems similar to Half-Life...or at least the beginning part of it anyway. Experiment gone wrong in huge scientific facility...monsters everywhere... The plot is "similar" to 1993's Doom. I've had Doom3 for about a day and I have to say that it's a really nice game. I'm able to play it at 1024x768 with the second-highest detail setting (I don't have enough memory for the highest setting--only 512 MB). This game is scary as hell, especially if you're, like me, playing at 2 AM with all the lights off. P.S. IceSword7, use Daemon Tools.
tooncy How are you all getting this early? Are you downloading it from warez sites? Doom 3 was finally released on like the 31st/1st, they're arriving on store shelves starting around the 3rd (today).
Which System Shock game is the scariest?

I think u got the wrong info and that it was based on this http://rebooted.purkaia.net/dead_letter/ a mod for doom 3 so not doom 3 itself
mrpirate SEAL The plot also seems similar to Half-Life...or at least the beginning part of it anyway. Experiment gone wrong in huge scientific facility...monsters everywhere... P.S. IceSword7, use Daemon Tools. 0_o?????
Quit encouraging warez/piracy you fucktards.

got the game today i wont say how but so far ive had to change my undies about 20 times =( very good game the plot is decent so far the monsters look great the effects are fantastic along with the atmosphere
Sir Phoenixx tooncy How are you all getting this early? Are you downloading it from warez sites? Doom 3 was finally released on like the 31st/1st, they're arriving on store shelves starting around the 3rd (today). Yeah, I noticed that after I posted. An EBgames store had a copy so I picked it up. Oh and seal, I have a PCI-E 128MB x800SE and the game runs great on Normal detail settings with a very steady framerate.
my frame rate was 40-60 FPS on my X800 Pro on high detail got a few screenshots of my journeys today =) http://www.btinternet.com/~karl.mitchell2/DoomScreens/
I'm going to be honest now. I stated playing this game at 23:00 got 5 minutes into the game and was eagerly awaiting some monster to ironically pop out of the darkness. I couldn't take it, I'm going to finish off in the morning. :oops:
I am going to buy it tommrow. AND this is no rip off of any game it is the original story to Doom 1. But with a new take on it.
Post some screen shots or make a fraps movie I need something to tide me over till tommrow.
DarkDemin I am going to buy it tommrow. AND this is no rip off of any game it is the original story to Doom 1. But with a new take on it. It takes a lot of elements from the System Shock series of games, most notably the crew logs and the atmosphere.
oh nos, another game to scare the crap outta me
you do realize AK is about to rip your ass apart. Oh, and about Doom 3 being a rip off of Half-Life... uhhhh no, Half-Life is technically a rip off of doom.
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty." Although I'm giving it a slightly different connotation, it's meaning still holds true. The same idea or concept can pop into the heads of persons A and B without one having stolen it from the other, so stop being concerned with who thought of it first. And you couldn't have picked simpler things...saying Doom stole the concept of the journals for effect is like saying that it also stole the concept of having dim lighting and shadows for effect. These ideas were certainly around before System Shock in other video games, they were around before video games in old horror movies, and they were even around before old horror movies in bloody campfire tales.
That's not what I'm talking about, but anyway...[/img]
If you did that to me in real life, I would kick you in the balls with the force of a lightning bolt.
DarkDemin Post some screen shots or make a fraps movie I need something to tide me over till tommrow. i have quite a few movies but heres one http://www.btinternet.com/~karl.mitchell2/Doom3.wmv
To all you idiots who don't want to pay for your games... I think you're sorry losers. What do you think it takes to make these games YOU love so much to play? It takes money. Lots of money. It also takes real people who earn a living for their family. Why don't you go get a stinkin' job and pay for it. Jerks.

Lots of money. It also takes real people who earn a living for their family. Why don't you go get a stinkin' job and pay for it. Jerks. if i can get something for free why not? i have a job and all that but £40 for everygame i wanna play.. esp seeing as most of the games released nowdays are piles of shit anyway ( downloaded 20+ games.. i have only like atleast 3 and some of these where hyped to be big ) i can say Doom 3 is a game worth buying i may buy it just to try out the multiplayer.. also there is this shit of games being released in one contry weeks or even months and in some cases YEARS before other contrys why should i have to wait.. its bullshit the game is not released here in the UK from what i hear for another week.. why do i have to wait for a UK version of the game when the USA one runs fine.. whats the point in the delay? Quote: I think you're sorry losers. are you not the loser if you waste money on a game and then it turns out to be shit
Completely missed the point my friend. You won't have a game to steal if you keep ripping off the people who make them.
I agree. Game warez is like going down to the shops and getting a coffee maker to "evaluate it" with the option of buying. If you don't like it, you still get to keep the coffee maker. How is that fair. It costs the company money to make and distribute the product. The only solid argument for things like file sharing music and games is that the products are over priced and far higher than what they could sell them for while still having a very good profit. But, there's also an argument that file sharing helps the industry. Check out this project. It's basically saying that when people get to try things out, there's more of a likelyness that they'll buy them; and wouldn't have bought them had they not been allowed to try them out first. What it forgets to mention is the amount of people getting products for free by and large negates the amount of people that "buy things if they like them", although maybe not in production costs.
that is some scary ass shit dude keep the movies coming.
phlakaton Completely missed the point my friend. You won't have a game to steal if you keep ripping off the people who make them. Amen to that!!

I would have to agree, but you know, there are FREE games that you don't have to pay for too, if I download those games directly from the developers' website, does that make me an idiot? (Oh, and please check your private messages.)
Use your brain you fool. What you are saying has nothing to do with warez and pirate sites. If a company posts a game for free you bet your ass I'll download it. THEY POSTED IT. THEY WANT ME TO PLAY IT FOR FREE. Are you a moron all the time or just part?
lol, and you guys say I'm mean...
phlakaton Completely missed the point my friend. You won't have a game to steal if you keep ripping off the people who make them. good i wont have to worry about getting / download a shit game anymore will i flyingfox If you don't like it, you still get to keep the coffee maker. How is that fair. if i dont like it i delete it.. why would i want to keep a shit game..
What have you been buying anyway? Seems as though there isn't much out there that pleases you. How about you get busy making a design document and submit that poor thing to a publisher. Since there are so many developers out there ripping you off with bad content and poor execution. You can play your own game all day and pay with your own time. Putz.
dude get off your high horse and go save the tree's or something...
Stop fucking around make more fraps movies.
DaVyse dude get off your high horse and go save the tree's or something... I earned my high horse. You want a piece of this argument? Take a swing. Mr. Ed says piss off unless you have a logical statement on the subject. This forum might not be here if it wasn't for the time I left in my wake making Renegade --- you know --- Renegade Public Forum. You wanna pay me for all the overtime I didn't get? I'll say what I want and you can go eat it. How about I use the soapbox now. Or maybe an apple crate. Even better... you stand in a trench like the old days.
phlakaton What have you been buying anyway? Seems as though there isn't much out there that pleases you. no point explaining it to you im just glad im alot richer than i am if i had brought the games
DarkDemin Stop fucking around make more fraps movies.
heh i cba to play tonight... i got quite far and tried to jump onto a ledge and somehow died.. from 60+ HP down to -58 :S very confusing and i never saved for about 30 minutes :S

This forum might not be here if it wasn't for the time I left in my wake making Renegade --- you know --- Renegade Public Forum. You wanna pay me for all the overtime I didn't get? 1st, Who is Mr . Ed ? 2nd, Just for your info I bought renegade. 3rd, When people buy a game only a percentage goes to those poor hardworking guys + familys you mentioned so when I download you expect me + many others to think about the 0.000001 that goes to the workers ?

Actually, it's the stores that will get cut short, and even then it's the company that's losing money, no specific individuals. So, the big time companies will get their money and continue to profit, while it's the local companies and game providers that will get the short end of the stick. But because of how the company won't go bankrupt because of a low selling game, because they'll make money somehow else. Everybody benefits from this...but it's the warez downloader that benefits most.

Mr. Ed --- a talking horse tv show from the ancient times. 2. Good for you. You might have been the one person to get the sales over 600k 3. No. A percentage doesn't go to us the working crew. We see a bonus once every year based on the team and studio revenue & performance. If sales suffer than everyone suffers. People at EALA this year got NOTHING. A select few got a small percentage of their target bonus based on annual salary. A decent group got nothing because EA didn't ship much last year from EALA and they moved studios... not withstanding monies they saved closing old ones down (like Westwood) ... instead they basically let the employee pay for the move and the missing profit. Not very many companies have profit sharing or royalties either. That is old news. This is big business and the small guy is dependant on that bonus because overtime doesn't exist. No time and a half... no extra pay at all. Don't forget who makes this crap. The little guy. The execs approve game design docs and project plans and demos... the pissants are the ones who will not get any perks if sales suck. You think execs suffer? At 400k a year... who's going to miss a bonus that would have payed a % of 25% of that annual salary. Those guys will still get a fair cut of it... while some lesser people who make art or design or code get jack. Wanna make games and spend 2 months straight 7 days a week at work? It's fun when you're 22 years old and single. Try it when you're 30+ with other things in life... like not having a vacation for 10 years. Don't know where you get that % from but think what you will. It hurts the grunt.
Am I the only one here that actually bought Doom 3? It was $58 with the tax, $55 without. . . Not to much to spend on the best FPS out to date if you ask me, Online is also pretty fun. I just wish they would have had Co-op like in Quake.
I bought it. It cost me roughly 60$ with tax. Oh, and revenuke, phlakaton worked on the lighting for most of the SP and MP levels in Renegade, as well as creating some of the levels themselfs, and making most of the older vehicle models for Renegade. Or at least I think so...
You can pirate software, but pirating games is moronic. You go through the trouble of actually making it work, and then finding a CD-key that works for both offline and online. I like the feeling of actually owning a game, just like how I feel about owning 95% of the entire C&C universe of games.
Doom 3 is a perfect game for co-op Final Doom had it I don't know why this doesn't.
DarkDemin Doom 3 is a perfect game for co-op Final Doom had it I don't know why this doesn't. Wait a few days. There's already mods, a co-op one won't take long.
few mods out already... 1st one: FightClub Mod, RocketDM and Chainsaw Only like to site http://members.cox.net/neog/ 2nd one: Nitro Gore Patch Beta 2 (german site) link to site http://www.nitroclan.de/comment.php?comment.news.19 and the 3rd one: Ultra-Extreme-Quality-MOD link to site http://www.doom3maps.de (german) link to file http://doom3.planet-multiplayer.de/download.php?view.68 link to pic http://doom3.planet-multiplayer.de/...ews/ueq-mod.jpg
Taximes And you couldn't have picked simpler things...saying Doom stole the concept of the journals for effect is like saying that it also stole the concept of having dim lighting and shadows for effect. These ideas were certainly around before System Shock in other video games, they were around before video games in old horror movies, and they were even around before old horror movies in bloody campfire tales. System Shock had audio logs back in 1993. If you know of an earlier game that had this, feel free to tell. And I've never seen a movie featuring a guy picking up and listening to audio logs constantly, btw That aside, I don't really care if they used the idea. There probably won't be a SS3 anyway. Anna Parovski's last log is especially good, btw
revenuke do u work for a game company? :eh: He is Eric Kearns and took part in the development of Renegade.
Well as far as Doom 3 goes, let me say that the engine is absolutely amazing. Those people are genius's, this game looks far better than anything else currently available and it runs better than pretty much any new game too. It's astounding, I get higher FPS with Doom 3 than I do with Call of Duty, and it's so fucking pretty. As far as the actual game goes, it's pretty standard shoot everything you see stuff, but it's still pretty fun. I can't wait to see better games based off the engine.
Yeah. I wish I could find a decent co-op mod that actually worked. I found one, but it sucks.
Some guys are making a Team Fortrace off of the engine to tide us over until the real Team Fortrace 2 comes out.
Coudl you send me a link to that Coop mod, I want to try it, even if it does suck. I might have found it, but I don't understand German so I didn't know what was what on most of the pages I went to. Thank You!
http://www.actiontrip.com/files/mods/doom3.phtml It's in that pack somewhere.
Painkiller has a better engine.
sniper12345 revenuke do u work for a game company? :eh: He is Eric Kearns and took part in the development of Renegade. i thought so... that was a guess btw
There is a way to increase your frame rates... http://www.forumplanet.com/planetdoom/topic.asp?fid=5733&tid=1438663
I think this game would scare me too much... :-\
Another way to boost performance is to unpack all the .pk4 files in the base directory, then delete or move the .pk4 files. This way the game doesn't have to unpack the files as you play, so it starts and runs much faster. Of course it takes up a shitload of space (4.5GB).
icedog90 Painkiller has a better engine. WRONG!

DarkDemin icedog90 Painkiller has a better engine. WRONG! Have you even played Painkiller? It uses 2x2048x2048 high-res textures (which are extremely sharp), the Havok 2.0 physics engine, and extremely high polygon monsters and levels, and I still get a steady 50 - 70fps on the highest detail and on 1024x768 resolution. Don't forget to mention the amount of bump mapping it uses like Doom 3.
Wish I could make a game that took place in hallways and inside buildings. I still have yet to see a real badass outdoor game. Farcry is getting the bar up there. Half Life 2 will push a bit too. Galaxies has some nice long range worlds and vistas.
Star Wars Galaxies was really fun and addicting, but it sucked when the trial ran out of days. I'm too cheap to pay $15 a month for a game. I hate paying monthy for games, it's a waste of cash.
I hear ya. I played for about 4 or 5 months while I lived in LA and it was cool... because I'm a star wars fan it was working well. I'm waiting for the expansion. That looks so nice and it's twitch fighting... full speed battles in space. Should be cool shit.
I've heard about it... Aren't they accepting beta testers now for it?
yup. it'll be hard to get into unless you went to their little shindig down in Anaheim for the galaxies players. They pick from those attendees first then the rest of us losers get whats left for spots. I don't have the time for it anyway although I signed up. I just wanna blow up x-wings in my tie. anyone having stability issues with their radeon 9800 cards with Doom 3? http://www.omegadrivers.net I hear these guys are making drivers that are more stable but I haven't tried them myself. My buddy said his game ran longer and more stable... knock on wood.
Yeah, those drivers are supposed to be more reliable, faster, and better quality than the official ones. I suggest downloading it when the latest one is done.

Don't forget to mention the amount of bump mapping it uses like Doom 3. I've played Painkiller. It looked very nice, but nowhere near Doom 3. Doom 3 is definitely the best engine available right now, followed by Crytek (although Crytek runs like ass, they need to optimize the damn thing). I still think Source will be the best engine. The only thing it lacks from Doom 3 is the advanced lighting engine, everything else is superior.
I wasn't really basing the engine quality on how good it looks; Painkiller owns the Doom 3 engine in a sort of a way because Painkiller has nice graphics and killer performance at the same time, while Doom 3 has killer graphics, but not as good performance.
Remember... Doom 3 is using Normal Mapping on all characters too. Shaders are costing them a few bucks.

Well, the thing is Doom 3 looks a lot better than Painkiller. And it runs very well too. I guarantee you if Painkiller implemented all the things Doom 3 does (if it even can) then it would be unplayable. Painkiller is an extremely basic engine, it doesn't really do anything extraordinarily well.
Doom 3 is fucking scary. *shudders* I refuse to play this game at night.
DarkDemin Doom 3 is fucking scary. *shudders* I refuse to play this game at night. No, it's just because it's your porn and masturbation time. That's why you don't play it at night.
DarkDemin Doom 3 is fucking scary. *shudders* I refuse to play this game at night. I'll admit I got scared a bit, but hey, it's not THAT bad... Although it's 1.46 am now and I refuse to play it. But hey, at least I gamed from 12 am to 1 am...
In addition to Warranto's fix: http://ucguides.savagehelp.com/Doom3/Doom3Guide.htm That guide has a tweak guide to it. I found it VERY useful. I'm on a GFFX5200 with onlt 512 DDR @ 400mhz and a Barton 2500 and I can now run it on High detail at 800x600 all but flawlessly.
No after playing it a full day I expirienced my first sleepless night in years. I haven't been this freaked out by anything this bad for quite sometime. With surround sound this game will give you the creeps. ALSO: I got the Prima's guide with it, and it is a huge help.
What game do you people think is more scary? Aliens vs Predator or Doom 3?
j_ball430 DarkDemin Doom 3 is fucking scary. *shudders* I refuse to play this game at night. No, it's just because it's your porn and masturbation time. That's why you don't play it at night. Hah. I think if there was somebody with me I wouldn't have any problems playing. :oops:
...Thought i'd share that with you. It's online.
quikboy6 Beware of what you download. http://www.fpscentral.com/index.php?game=9&site=news&id=6521 Awww god dammit!!!! Well, thanks for the warning.
Look's really neat, looks like CompUSA thought it was too "special" and gave it a nice big plastic box. I'm gonna get a copy soon, looks like a kickass game. Definetly worth my money.
Terminator 101 What game do you people think is more scary? Aliens vs Predator or Doom 3? hard to say playing the marines section of the game was very frightning cant really compare.. so i would say they break even
They are planning a doom movie and they want to target a PG-13 audience. Now how the hell are they going to that with a game that is rated M and has Zombies you blow the shit outta.
That Doom "movie" has been in the works longer than the first Resident Evil movie.
why dont they just make it a childrens bloody movie with love and teddy bears that kiss people... doom wont be doom without blowing the shit outa something
Quote: That Doom "movie" has been in the works longer than the first Resident Evil movie. Too bad the Resident Evil movie sucked, or in another words, wasn't that good. But I sort of liked the part where one guy gets sliced into many pieces (yummy :twisted: )[/quote]
