Doom 3's Release Date; Quake Turns 8

Posted by simoniker on from the wait-no-longer? dept.

LehiNephi writes "Apparently, GameStop has an updated product page for long-awaited PC FPS Doom 3, along with the note: 'Official launch date of August 3rd, 2004 confirmed!', although the official Doom 3 site hasn't yet been updated, sporting just a 'coming soon' notice. [Blue's News also has further info, noting 'that the British Board of Film Classification has a DOOM III Listing with a rating for the game, a seeming indication that they've already been able to review all its content'.]" In related news, Ag3nt writes "One of the biggest leaps in PC gaming technology, Quake, celebrated its 8th birthday yesterday, according to an AmpedNews piece - there's also a birthday note on John Romero's homepage."

    Does anyone know what the official word is on Mac support for DoomIII? I'd love to play this game, but I have a hunch that Virtual PC won't cut it (even if it could run on my G5)!

    I bet Duke Nukem Forever will be out right after Doom III!

    I read about Doom 3's release date on Planet Doom before the story was posted on slashdot. Also, I wonder if the WAD file format is going to change.
