This thread has been linked to the game '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?

I don't have time for any new games on any format - I'm desperately trying to clear my pile of unfinished Dreamcast and PS2 titles, and despite this I've recently picked up F-Zero GX and have also got Drummania 2nd mix on order. Plus Sony keep sending me beta discs to trial... I'll be quite glad if it's a quiet Xmas!

Latest one was Destruction Derby Arenas, which is a corker... I can see this one stealing the crown of best online game from SOCOM. Don't think I'm actually supposed to say too much about the beta stuff though.

What? Stop acting like a fan*y, its my opinion, I never said otherwise.

Is Doom really still good?
I thought it's whole ideas were a bit outdated by now - Halo, Timesplitters, Metroid are much better, I'm sure.

Trust me: Doom is a timeless classic.
It has excellent level design, excellent multiplayer, a really good dark atmosphere and it plays with light etc.
Still damn good, even now.
