Jeez I can't believe there's no post about this. Thought there would be gamers around. Now that I know the game's coming out in a few weeks I wonder if I should upgrade my graphics card from 9800 XT to the x800 XT.

THE WORLDWIDE DOOM 3 INVASION BEGINS THE WEEK OF AUGUST 2

Mesquite, TX - July 14, 2004 - See you in Hell! id SoftwareTM and Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) confirmed today that id Software's highly anticipated DOOM 3TM for the PC has entered manufacturing and will begin shipping to retail stores worldwide the week of August 2. A sci-fi horror masterpiece, DOOM 3's dramatic storyline, pulse-pounding action, incredible graphics, and ground-breaking technology combine to draw you into the most frightening and gripping first-person gaming experience ever created.

"DOOM 3 is done! And you're going to have it in your hands in a matter of days," said Todd Hollenshead, CEO, id Software. "DOOM 3 is a videogame experience unlike any before it. From the cinema quality visuals and the incredible 5.1 sound, to the terrifying atmosphere and hyper-realistic environments, the whole game screams 'interactive horror film!' Add in the most ferocious line up of demons Hell has ever brought to bear, and you have an experience so intense that you'll need to keep your heart medicine handy."

Built on id's revolutionary new 3D technology, DOOM 3 is a terrifying battle with the forces of Hell. In DOOM 3, your recent assignment to the Union Aerospace Corporation's Mars research facility seemed simple enough, until their discoveries and experiments unlocked the gates to Hell itself. Now, in an epic clash against pure evil you must fight to understand who is with you, who is against you, and what must be done to stop this nightmare from reaching earth.

The minimum system requirements have been released for Doom 3, which comes out August 3. Oh and a demo HAS been announced, but expect that after the game comes out.

A 1.5 GHz Intel Pentium 4 chip or AMD Athlon 1500
384 MB RAM
2 GB hard disk space
An nVidia GeForce 3 graphics card or better; or an ATI Technologies 8500 or better


I'm guessing my comp can handle it.

Dell XPS
P4 3.4GHz HT EE
2 gig DDR SDRAM
SB Audigy 2
ATI RADEON 9800 XT

I think they are full of crap with those minimum specs... I played the "LEAKED" demo that came out about a year ago and it was insane graphics.. I hate when Vid game companies put these really SHITTY basic requirements just to sell more games.

Your DELL will handle it fine.
