"Doom 3 Confirmed for Xbox + More!"

Taken from E3:

"id Software and Activision confirmed this morning that id Software's DOOM 3 is in fact coming to the Xbox and that the demo of the PC version would be on display at Activision's booth (booth #1224 in the South Hall) beginning May 14th. Built using id Software's new cutting-edge 3D graphics engine, DOOM 3 draws players into a terrifying and riveting 3D gaming. A specific release date for id's horror filled first-person shooter was not disclosed at press time but one can imagine that it will be released when it's done. Look to GameSpy for more information on both versions from the show floor later this week!"

This was announced THIS morning and it will be an Xbox exclusive title. Won't come close to Halo 2 but I am VERY excited about seeing more about this game over the coming months. On top of this new screens of Deus EX 2 have been shown so if Mav is reading this then go to:

On top of this Counter Strike is shaping up to be as good as the PC version and for the E3 previews I have read they were VERY impressed with how it has shaped up. Then there are some new Project Gotham Racing 2 screens at:

Its shaping up to be graphically revolutionary and if the gameplay stays the same as the first then this will be something of Halo 2 proportions (perhaps not that big).

What does everyone think of whats on offer?

And sort out your random capital letters for heavens sake.

Well then, please inform me of this amazing surround system.

What was it? What does it do and how much?

WS if your Surround System is more powerful than mine then I will eat my hat. keeping dreaming mate. Oh and you stick with a 21" monitor and I will stick with a 32" Flatscreen TV, OK? Plus the fact that not all PC games run in 5.1 or even Dolby Surround Sound yet all Xbox games are in Full Dolby Digital.

Anyway I am off to play WWE: RAW so I will leave you trying to convince yourself.

It's all down to opinion and I can't be bothered to argue anymore.

I'm off to play Conflict Desert Storm.

I've never had to configure anything.

You click install, it installs.


Then you play, the only thing I do is change it to a nice big resolution.


Plus the controls are many times better than a control pad, for FPS and strategty games.

It's not the games that I'm calling dull, it's just the whole setup.

Clunky controls, too much configuring of soundcards and all that garbage, sitting hunched back in front of a crappy monitor, downloading patches etc etc

Dull, dull, dull.

I was talking about third person.

Compared to aiming with a mouse, dual analouge sticks take an eternity.


And I was using your logic, you seem to want an XBox for loads of games that are on the Pc, so if PC gaming is dull so must XBox gaming.

You've GOT to be kidding. I'll accept that some people prefer keyboard-mouse for FPS, but for third person shooters? I find those games are almost unplayable on PC - there's nothing natural about it.

Controllers win hands down when it comes to third person.

What kind of an argument is that?

We get annoyed when fanboys come into the Ninty forum and say "PS2's better becoz it haz a DVD player". It's a games console so let's not go there.
