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?

Uh, no, I think I'll wait for the Xbox version.

Mouse and keyboard IS FPS gaming.

Mouse and keyboard feels false. I'd rather pull a trigger shaped shoulder button than click a mouse button. It's more satisfying.

Duel analogue helps >just a bit< aswell.

Mouse and keyboard stinks, but then I don't want to get into another one of these arguments.

Frequently Poor Shooting?

Failing to Provide Satisfaction?

Yes you're right Mouse and Keyboard are FPS.

'Freaking DOOM' was 10 years ago.

I don't want to run aimlessly looking for colour coded keys again.

Play Doom 1/2 today, and they will bore the hell out of you.

Doom 3 will probably be more fun, as its more scary, but if its not advancing anything, except graphics, then I don't give a toss.

Mouse and keyboard are essential.

Can a dual analogue really provide the same pin point accuracy?
