"Doom 3"

CVG interviewing id CEO Todd Hollenshead:

'How about the Xbox version?

Hollenshead: We're literally in the early stages of getting the technology up and running on the Xbox. The Xbox is completely within the specs of what the target for Doom III technology is.

You'll be seeing a lot of unique textures that literally make the world just the way you might imagine if Hell really had erupted on a spacestation.

What about a PS2 version?

Hollenshead: Frankly, the PS2 couldn't do the math calculations for the geometry acceleration, real time shadows and light. GameCube is the same thing, no version planned.'

I hope that's enough to silence the moronic fanboys?

All hell has broken lose.

Erm..that's because the second analogue stick is taking the place of the strafe buttons on the keyboard...that's why it's called keyboard AND mouse control.

Can you get me a link to some valid proof? I haven't noticed any autoaim.

Too right!!!

Just think back to when quake2 went onlinewith dreamcast players playing PC players... the mouse and keyboards guys had such an advantage over the console players

That can't be true

Most FPS games I own you can turn the autoaim off. Halo doesn't have autoaim and I went through Die Hard Vendetta only a few days back without any autoaim.

Faster does not mean most enjoyable or comfortable. I remember losing a Quake III PC Vs Dreamcast match, but I could out manouver my opponent. I got the most embarrassing kill on him he's ever had. I did a 180 jump round the central pillar of some stairs and punched him in the head as I had run out of weapons: he died.

My best Quake III moment ever.

and all the console game games have auto aim on. much harder to do precision shooting using control pad. the people making counter strike condition zero said there wouldn't be any cross online playing between xbox and pc owners because the mouse and keyboard players would be able to win easily.

Eyetoy controls beat ALL

But Control pad, I feel, is a lot easier than a damn mouse.
