There are also mirrors that don't need registration via PlanetQuake3.net, and a BitTorrent link courtesy Gametab News for this 31mb DivX file. The game has also been officially confirmed for Xbox at E3, and you can check out more E3 news at Slashdot Games.

  1. Half-Life 2 teaser available too! by fatwreckfan · · Score: 5, Informative

    Get the Half-Life 2 teaser here as well! It's not as good as the Doom III vid, but it still looks wicked. Half-Life was probably the best FPS I've every played, and a lot of my friends agree, so my fingers are crossed for HL2 to rock just as much.

    you can pick up a used xbox for about 150 even new one for 200, last I heard the pc version will require a rather expensive video card,

    According to Carmack, the Radeon 8500 should run Doom3 "perfectly". And that can be found for less than $100 these days.. even less by the time it's released.

    Half life, was built on quake 2 engine

    Nope. Quake 1 engine.


    You're correct, though. Id's main contribution since Quake 1 is the advancement of engine technology. Quake 2's single player game more or less sucked, and Quake 3 didn't even really have one. However, with Doom 3, Id is supposedly focusing mainly on single player. That means that the single player game should be at least decent, if not good, but more importantly that the multiplayer aspects are likely not getting the attention you expect. As well, theCarmack has said in the past that the Doom 3 handles only a few models on-screen at a time. More than that and it can really start to bog down. That means it'll be great for the atmosphere Doom 3 is trying for, with more tension and paranoia than screens full of monsters, and less great for much else. Will that change? Sure. Hardware will get better, and I'm sure some 3rd parties like Raven will have a go at modifying the engine. The point is that the Doom3 engine is going in quite a different direction from the Quake3 engine, and may not be well-suited (at least initially) for most third-party licensees.
