Re: Doom 3 first impressions
 

it might have to do with support with some effects.. that you use.. or some little setting.. i go with the lowest one everthing except i use 800*600.. it lags some.. but not too much..

Re: Doom 3 first impressions
 

I always keep my drivers/firmwares up to date.
I don't think so coz all of the other 3d/fps games are running perfectly on my pc. ok, doom3 does not lag too much, just sometimes freezes for about half second. maybe because I compare it with other games running on my pc. indeed, doom 3 takes a lot of resource!
as you said, everyone's got his own games. anyways, doom is not the style I like.

Re: Doom 3 first impressions
 

doom 3 looks good, i like the fact you can see yourself in the mirror's perfectly and movements done ..only have a split second delay (could have been comps fault)

but i'm just waiting to shoot some tyre's down the hills in hl2\cs:s and watch em bounce off the wall and hit the dirt 8o

Re: Doom 3 first impressions
 

what i would miss the most from doom when hl2 comes is the stationary computers.. i found those controlles amazing..

Re: Doom 3 first impressions
 

so so so this game will even run with my crappy geforce fx 5200? :D

Re: Doom 3 first impressions
 

My computer is: Celeron 466/64MB RAM/15GB HD (with a lot of bad clusters, ~12GB remaining)/NVidia Vanta
And CZero is already quite laggy, I don't think I'll buy either Doom3 or HL2

Re: Doom 3 first impressions
 

I installed it; first impressions:

- no sounds?! (wtf)
- uber slow (on 640x480, low quality)

machine specs:
2.4Ghz Intel P4
512 MB DDR RAM
64MB Geforce FX Go5200

I bet the latter is the worst.

Re: Doom 3 first impressions
 

ok, tried again:
- i updated my sound drivers

it still runs slow on some parts, but most parts work fine. It looks great even on low detail ;) It plays ok, gives me a kinda HL 1 feeling at start. I died on my way back, i just rushed and fought my way through the mines, but i died heh.

Re: Doom 3 first impressions
 

its as hl1 it can be.. it even got an teleporter.. guess what came through there.. did i tell to much?.. its not like its story line to talk about.. maybe for 5-6 years ago.. but not now..

hope i finish it soon.. it was longer then i expected.. seems like all i got to do is get back..

Re: Doom 3 first impressions
 

doom3 has the basic same story as doom95 (ultered a little) and doom95 came out before hl so it could be hl copied doom :p
