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?

Agreed.
Its not a FPS. Thats what I mean about variation, its an Adventure/FPS/RPG all mixed into one. The combat with guns was pretty poor in the first. I went for melee attacks and built up that strength. Its an awesome awesome experience when you play it through in long bursts.
Knights of the Old Republic though is the pick of the bunch. The best RPG to date.

Both will have LIVE options which is good enough for me. Downloadable content is worth the wait, especially when PC online gaming sucks c*ck in general.
Irony.
I just noticed it.

no i've heard doom 3 is breaking from the mould of the other dooms....it's not going for the shoot a smeck load of stuff...but more for the slow, scary and atmospheric approach.
and alistair it will look better on the pc if you have a beefy computer and graphics card...higher resolutions and capability to have better antialiasing.
though if you don't have such a good computer...xbox version will do fine :D

Pfff, you are telling me an Xbox can run Doom 3 better than a top spec PC?
Doubtful.

Yes that is what Doom is. It's: ON MY GOD A CYBERDEMON JUST POPPED OUT FROM BEHIND THAT WALL! *BUDDA BUDDA BUDDA BUDDA BUDDA* ARGH!!!!!! DIE DIE DIE!!
Etc.
Great stuff, it doesn't need to be revolutionary - It's freaking DOOM man! :D

That'll be something to dod with having standard components to run the game on and not having to pander to as many graphics cards, sound cards *Brain gives up* etc etc
