Could Doom 3 be a Xbox Exclusive?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the they-did-it-to-doa dept.

acehole writes "Doom III, id's latest and greatest in the realm of first-person shooters, may be coming out as an Xbox exclusive... if Microsoft has its way." This story is very brief, has no real evidence, and should be treated as entirely speculative. I'd be sad if Doom 3 required me to use the X-Box's controller. It's just not right without a mouse!

    a paragraph of conjecture doubtless followed by several hundred comments of conjecture. congratulations taco, you are a journalist of the first order.

    If it's only for the console rights, then id should take the deal. The game can't be ported to the Playstation 2 anyway (it doesn't have a stencil buffer, which Doom III requires for its shadow volumes). That leaves only the GameCube and XBox, and I highly doubt that Nintendo, with its reputation as a for-kids console maker, would like the idea of making Doom III (which is likely to be the goriest first-person shooter ever created) available on their console anyway.

    That was a fucking queer post. You should stop sucking so much dick. Jesus Christ, go outside; talk to people; bang a broad. You're such a fucking loser. You're thinking up lame names to call people you beat in a game that hasn't even been completed yet! You are truly shit and add nothing to the culture of the world. Piss off faggot.

    First you want him to check whether the story is a duplicate.

    Then you want him to check whether the story has any gramatical mistakes.

    Now you want him to read the article before he posts the story.

    When will your outragious and senseless demands stop!?!

    At this rate, CmdrTaco won't even have any time to count all the money they are paying him to do his extremely difficult job.

    What leads you to believe it "would look like ass on a PS2"? The hardware on the Xbox isn't even current compared to the pc dev systems that Id is coding the game on. Remember 9 months ago when Carmack was saying 'get a geforce4 or radeon 9xxx so you can play Doom3'?

    It won't look any worse on PS2 than it will the Xbox.
