You can drop the details. Its possible to drop it to near Quake 2 details with some fooling around. I highly doubt you can't run Quake 2.
Now I can't wait for Saphire Scar (what was the System Shock 2 mod before EA "Fox'd" it) to come out. System Shock in this engine would be incredible... and give me a heart attack.

I can honestly say that Doom 3 is the scariest fucking game I've ever played. The superb use of lighting, sound, and monster spawning creates one fucking scary game. And I'm someone who doesn't normally get scared by games.
I was very scared when I entered that room with the weird-ass bloody things growing on all the walls and the pentagram in the middle.
It's a very scary game, guys. Seriously. It's all about atmosphere. It's dark everywhere, and evil, and you can see a zombie's eyes glowing red as they lunge out at you from the darkness....

Blindy had this to say about Cuba:
wait until you get to the part where all the lights are off and you have to switch back and forth between your gun and your flashlight while fighting.
You mean, in Alpha Labs, when you enter and the zombies rush you?
Yeah, that was... fun... or something...

I think I would have to buy a couple of pairs of new pants if I tried to play through this game.
The thing that got me, I was expecting a lot more of the 'Shit suddenly jumps out at you and scares the fuck out of you' scary. I played the alpha for a while, and that's what happened a lot to me with the alpha. But so far, the thing that's got me the most is just how creepy it is. The ambient sounds, lighting, the way the levels are designed, even with no enemies in the game, it'd be a freaky as fuck game.

I felt that way as the Marine in the AvP games.
AVP2's Marine missions scared the crap out of me (especially the first mission, god damn falling and hissing pipe!) so I expect to be pleasantly suprised with Doom 3.

Tarquinn had this to say about Tron:
Does it look as good as Far Cry? Better? Worse?
From what I've read so far, even better than Farcry, which is a tough feat to do.

Blindy obviously shouldn't have said:
It looks fan-fucking-tastic.
Absolutely. It's got awesome graphics. I was playing it both on the low, and the high (But not ultra-high) settings, and it was incredible both ways.
My largest gripe so far, is that the grenades are nice, but tend to destroy overhead lights. Fighting in the dark isn't scary, per se, but having to swap between flashlight/shotgun/flashlight/shotgun gets annoying =/
If you want to see what it's like, go to my ftp ( ftp://ecroms:fluffy@205.208.222.10/Download/ ), and download the 'Doom3_Play1.avi' and 'Doom3_Play2.avi' files. They're 1/2 the resolution of the game at 1024x768, so they'll give you a good idea of how it'll look on 'low' detail.
The sound sucks, but that's because of the compression, not because of the game. The sound in the game is unbeleivably great

I like the challenge that adds, actually.
The other 9 or 10 people who were waiting around were pretty pissed, too.

8/3/04 my ass, Best Buy.The other 9 or 10 people who were waiting around were pretty pissed, too.
I got it at Best Buy today. 10:04 AM.
And I was just accosted by a zombie who had no fucking head.

There was much rejoicing when Khyron said this:

I think that was my point...
No head = No Mouth = No Eatting = No Brains = Hungry Zombie 
Bastards.

Not my problem. My problem was beating him to death with a flashlight. And my problem is solved.

I'm annoyed, then. Upon getting there and calling back again, all the game stores around here (Best Buy, Gamestop, Fry's) are giving the same story; out tomorrow.Bastards.
Stores round here are like that too. Except Gamestop, which gets it the morning it ships. Rest are 1 to 3 days later before they get em.
Damn Archeviles popping out of everywhere!
It's cool though except that my HUD fucks up and makes these odd streaks across the screen. I can play without the HUD just fine but...that makes things a tad bit more difficult then need be. Anyone had any ideas? I have the latest drivers (Radeon 9800). I think it's just my processor.
EDIT: Picked it up 5 minutes after they were dropped off and I was just in the Mall for clothes so I guess I got lucky. Ozimander fucked around with this message on 08-03-2004 at 09:15 PM.
