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!

    The result of such a move would be that hundreds of slashdotters would change their .sigs to:

    Carmack: Bad (mostly due to giving exclusive Doom 3 rights to Microsoft)

    Reading the articles is cheating.

    It's easy to get loads of karma by reading the articles and then making well thought out comments about them.

    Be a man and do it the hard way.

    I fail to understand what is new about this ... you do realize this is Slashdot, right?

    It is more productive to voice thoughtful opinions (reply) than to judge (moderate) others.

    Yeah, but if they had actually reported what the article said, they would've missed the chance to bash Microsoft.

    no no NO in English, it would be AN Xbox, in American it is Da Xbox.

    In other words, [John Carmack claims that Doom 3] should be playable on [an original GeForce card] if you turn down the resolution and a lot of the effects.

    And end up with 40x64 pixels and 1-bit color? In other words, Atari 2600, right?
