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!

  1. Does this seem weird? by villain170 · · Score: 0, Redundant
    the company behind the Xbox is offering an undisclosed amount of money to id in exchange for the right to make their latest game an Xbox-only title as far as consoles are concerned.

    Does this rub anyone the wrong way? It seems like they're trying to buy people out in exchange for control of the market.

  2. RTFA -- Console exclusive only by SeanTobin · · Score: 2, Redundant

    These are in regards to console rights only. Doom 3 will of course be released on the pc. You will be able to play it with your mouse. Sheesh.

  3. Article heading inaccurate by Jsprat23 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    While the article is speculative, it does say exclusive CONSOLE rights not simply exclusive rights.
