"Doom III, I've played it."

Hello,

After playing the game I just have to tell everyone how bloody good it is! The speed of your character is perfectly acceptable (think Thief 3: Deadly Shadows), and the sound FX are crystal clear. You've probaly seen the movies already so you know what the graphics are like, but for me to see it on my monitor being powered by my hardware is beyond words (having said that, I must remind you I'm not a graphics whor*). When I was attacked by zombies I couldn't kill them or pass them as my hardware bent under the graphical pressure (2fps), but I could manage 9fps walking about alone without being attacked. I'll try and get a snap shot of the menu screen for you, but I don't know how to post links here.

My hardware spec is:

G-Force 3 Ti200
256MB SDRAM
P4 1.6GHz
WinXP Home Edition

Yeah. I'm hoping the same, as I've got:

Athlon XP2800+
Abit NF7
512MB Geil RAM @ CAS2 7-3-3
Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB

Let's hope the finished build runs sweet as... might even have been optimised for the newer drivers :)

it is probley just the bad graphics hope it will run smothley on my 9800 pro

thoes 3 screenshots look like a joke

what happened to the final fanstasy (movie) type graphics

How did u play it? do u work as a game tester or something?

I've seen several supposedly fully working torrent downloads, Im assuming they lead to valid downloads, or they wouldn't still be up.Shame really how people are willing to seriously compromise the development of such titles.

It was leaked months ago, saw some videos and it looked pretty decent even though it was an early Alpha version.

I played this last year. It ran great on my machine. P4 2.4, 512mb, 128mb Geforce 4 Ti4800 WITH 5.1 surround sound.

Admittedly, it was a bit of a hassle to get it running as I had to revert back to older graphics drivers.

Yes ages ago, alpha was a E3 2003 demo. Think there might be a few other versions out there as well.

It's been leaked?

I'm not up on current events.

I would love to see how this would run on something a bit more beefy, im not even sure my Radeon 9600xt would cope very well when i am bain attacked by tons of zombies, looking forward to it's realease, also the downloaded version runs pretty bad on most hardware setups as it is just a beta.
