Doom3 demo? is there one
 

I basically want to see if my system will handle the game before buying it. Or does anyone know the recommended system specs?

Soon, but no.

Good point, i want to test it too before i download it from a buddy.

is it going to be available for the xbox, or just the PC?

Im not impressed with it,, requires WAY too many recourses. Even at the lowest settings itis still choppy and I have a nice computer.

XBOX and PC

It will be released for the xbox on October 4, 2004...

Thats what im worried about. My puter is fast but getting old plus my harddrives are full and slowing things down.

Ok, i'm using a 2.8p4 with a gig of ram.. Most importantly i'm using a gforce6900ultra that allows me to play in max detail at 1024x768, still very low rez.

If you go out and buy a new video card it will play sweet whatever cpu you have. it plays on gforce 3's so don't tell me your system can't handle it.

First 5 minutes of doom I liked it, after two hours I loved it.

i am almost positive that if it is getting released soon, that it will be on usenet right now, have you tried the newsgroups?

sure enough, just went to the newsgroups...and there it is

doom3 full version

Whats so great about it this time? doesn't look like its that much better that Q3.

What kind of machine do you have? I have a GeForce Ti4200, 1gb RAM, and a 2.4Ghz processor. Doom3 runs fine at 800x600 medium quality. You may want to upgrade you motherboard firmware, one of my friends did and his frames per second almost doubled.

its all over bittorrent sites also...

Some people like to buy the original :p

I'm running it on AMD 1700, Radeon 9600

Works fine

3.2ghz - 1gb RAM - Radeon 9600.. works peachy on Ultra @ 800x600. Or high @ 1024x784 [bollocks if I can remember what it really is]

Beat the game last night, because I am just that good. The end boss kicks ass.

Newsgroup or Warez copies can't play frag mode (online). But u can play the game.

3ghz, 512Ram, Radeon 9550 256meg...running smooth at high quality 1024x768...I never ventured into ultra quality though...

thats what I though but I think the CPU matters also. If it didnt they wouldn't recommend a 3Ghz CPU to play it.
