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?

I can't agree with this. There is NO WAY you can match up to the speed of mouse aiming with a control pad. Even with an analogue stick it has an annoying 'dragging' factor - with a mouse, the only limitation is how fast you can move your hand.

And I like PC Max Payne the best :)

I have completed all 3 version of the game and the Xbox version has the upper hand on all 3.

Having played the PC version and the Xbox version I have to agree.

I swapped my copy but I will be buying a new copy of it before long. It's the one game I've swapped that I intend to purchase again at somepoint.

Max Payne on the PS2 was a travesty. They completely ruined it from start to finish with a shocking frame rate, seriously dumbed down graphics, some of the areas were cut out and the lack of bullet time effects was unbelievable. The Xbox version is the best version of Max Payne.

I second that, we should ALL be playing games dammit! :D

I like to play my games when I have high energy levels though otherwise I feel like I'm not appreciating the game, not giving it my best shot and that I won't enjoy it as much as I should be enjoying it.

Make any sense or am I just insane?

I played it with dual analogue on PS2, and it sucked unimaginably compared to the PC mouse look. Haven't played it on XBox.

Now I'm going to shut up about all this tripe and maybe play Champ Man. Or not.

:D
