Doom 3

What's it gonna run better on...Xbox or PC? confuse



PC: 2800 Athlon CPU, 512 RAM, GeForce 5600XT Graphics Card, 450 Gig HD

(The PC has a TV out and quality is very good)

Go PC - cause u'll notice all the little details - I was gonna go for D3 on XBox until I realised that Counter-Strike was shit on Xbox and amazing on PC because you could see a lot more cause you're closer and the monitor's crisper.
Doom's gonna rawk.

DOOM 3 fucking rocks!
Have been playing it since last friday and couldn't get away from it and even though it's a bit too dark, it's scary as fuck... Amazing game... Too bad though that all the NIN sound and music work was pulled and replaced by Tweaker/Chris Vrenna...

It'll do just fine... You just won't be able to play it on "High" or "Ultra"... 800x600 low/med settings should do the trick...
I have a: P4 3400 CPU, 1024 MB RAM, 120 GB HD... The only bottleneck for me is my graphics card which is a ATI Radeon 9600 256 MB... So I play it on Med/High 1024x768 resolution...
Check this site for some benchmarks, it's a good read for people with low/mid end systems to get it working:

I think you mean the Nvidia Geforce 6800 GT or Ultra... According to some older interviews ID said that the best would the upcoming Nvidia Geforce 6800 Ultra 512MB... Hassle free...
I'll wait for "Stalker" and "Half-Life 2" before I start upgrading my graphics card...
In a while the new standard will based upon the "UnrealEngine3", that's some amazing stuff...

Yeah, I did mean the GeForce 6 - problem is it requires its own power supply eek .
Half-Life 2 will pwn Doom 3.

Half-Life 2 will pwn Doom 3.

"Stalker" will own 'em both... I don't have much hope for "Half-Life 2" anymore since their source code "leak" (if you actually believe that story...)
HL2 was based on ATI's Radeon 9600/9800 series (I still have the coupon for my free HL2 copy) "Doom 3" far surpassed that... But I'll enjoy it anyhow...
I have high hopes for "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadows Of Chernobyl"... http://www.stalker-game.com

Oooh I'd never seen S.T.A.L.K.E.R smile *explores*
*Having seen STALKER edit* WOW! Holy Good God Lawd that looks incredible! *preorders*

Thing that makes me think HL2 will own is causa the mods it will spawn (specifically, Counter-Strike: Source drool)

"Half-Life" has some kickass mods ("They Hunger" Trilogy) and yes CS:S will be the next step, can't wait for that one, I still play the original CS ocassionally and it's still fun...
The thing I love about "Stalker" is that it's set in Chernobyl... It's scary how much they succeeded in making it look like the real deal...

Not to mention "Call Of Cthulhu - Dark Corners Of The Earth" www.callofcthulhu.com
No in game "HUD" and this game will have "Hallucinations" of the Lovecraft kind... Just lovely...
