No geek board should skip this news , even though it’s not Sony-related.

I haven’t been this excited about a game in years. 8)

That’s a good one.

The official requirements that I’ve found..
1GHz CPU
256MB RAM
GF1 or Radeon 7xxx series card

Seems like the only thing that might stop doom3 from performing well on the tr would be the video card.

Don’t know how the video card in the TR compares to GF1 or Radeon 7xxx series card..

Yeah thats for 3FPS at 640x480 with all detail turned off, lol. This needs a gaming rig.

Also, those cards actually have crude forms of T & L on them…the Intel Not-Extreme Graphics have no T & L.

So, 3fps seems about right.

It seems they’ve corrected the system specs . In addition to hardware T&L, you’ll need hardware pixel shader support, so a GeForce 3 is the minimum.

Here’s a more detailed article on the specs:

I saw it on the wire and thought you guys would like it. :wink:

Uh…. You did read the link I posted right?

Oops….you beat me to it.

My apologies, almighty Drachen.

Ok, break it up children.

10 TRs working together won’t make this game playable, this is desktop or Alienware/XPS domain.

I have a hard time with NFS Hot Pursuit II, let alone a robust game like Doom 3.  The next two future TR’s will more than likely not be able to play that game. :wink:

:bow: NFS is my favorite series ever… :bow:

As much as I like Doom, I had more fun playing Duke 3D…and I hated Quake for some reason, always thought Doom was more interesting.

There was a feature in the fifth version (porsche unleashed) that I wish was in the sixth (HP 2):

- Tracking who is in what place and how many feet they are in front of / behind you.

I have not played Underground yet, but I hope they made some nice improvements. :D

Yeah, even the next gen chipset with GMA won’t support Doom 3 since it doesn’t have T&L again.

That’s one reason why the Type S is compelling…if you play games. The Type S will play Doom 3 and my buddy who received his fully decked out Type S says it plays World of Warcraft with everything turned on…at 1280x800. That’s impressive!

We only had a 10-year wait for Doom 3. I wonder how long it’s eventually going to be for Duke Forever. I’m starting to think that it’s just an enormous practical joke by George Broussard.

I liked the original Quake, especially the Action Quake mod, but the sequels got progressively worse until Unreal Tournament rocked my world.

I still think playing on a dedicated gaming rig with a top rated video card is the way to go.

I just built a budjeted gaiming pc to run the lastest games.  Which was with a ATI 9800 pro.  With this video card alone I would say would be the miniuim to run on these new generation games.  I still won’t be able to turn everything up….

I love my TR as I expressed to before.  I would never buy a ultra-subnotebook or a notebook period for gaming.

I would rather buy a shuttle and stick a x800 pro in it and care my LCD screen with me… :twisted:
