Doom III Officially Announced

Posted by michael on from the boom-click-click-boom-click-click dept.

Jacek Fedorynski writes "The end is near. First, id Software's site is updated for the first time since the Quake II times and now they officially announce Doom III!" If you recall, there were some screenshots released last year, but I don't think there's been much since then - these are probably out of date.

  2. C++ is supposed to be better?? by leereyno · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I don't even know where to begin. Only someone who didn't understand anything about compilers and the hinderance that unnecessary abstraction creates would make the statment that C++ is better for programming games. C++ is fine for applications that don't squeeze the last drop of performance out of a system because memory usage and overhead are considered acceptable trade-offs. But for real programming the only way to go is hand optimized C and assembly. C++ just makes programs EASIER to write, it doesn't generate superior code by any stretch of the imagination.
