compare & discuss... :cheers:

unbelieveable I reckon.. taken games to the next level in atmosphere and expectations. Feels like you're actually playing *in* the Alien movies or something. Lights out, volume up, its pretty scary.

Don't think i could actually play it during the day :-s

i liked wolfenstein, i liked doom, i liked a few other first persons but after so many bloody clones i'm just SICK and TIRED of them all, its all the same, prettier graphics yeah but still the same old game dressed up differently...

is doom3 any different?

i've heard its supposed to set a new standard, but if its just the same as all these others how can it be?

thank you

yeah, its all the same pretty much.. but its better same :cheers:

I mean it is actually pretty scary.. not too many movies or games actually make you jump these days. Doom3 does that really well.

well just think of cars, they all have 4 wheels, they all essentially do the same thing since they were invented, but they still keep people occupied for hours and hours.

And hollywood movies these days are no better, in fact generally worse.

I got it, sweet graphics although hard to see them! Its very dark and atmospheric. Some parts will scare the shit outta ya just like the first one!

It's worth the money imo.

Jimbo- i hope your system is newish. it runs pretty well on mine but i'm not using AA. mines a p4 [email protected], 9700pro w/ 512 on an asus. much below that and i reckon it would struggle.

um i hear that the reccomended vid car is 512 :Oops:

they're hardly even relaeased yet

i got a 256 so should be fine and dandy

A 512 would be desirable for the ULTRA setting in D3... however, you can run the ULTRA settings on a 128/256 MB card.. just be expected to sit thru slight pauses while the game swaps in/out massive textures which are uncompressed into avail. vid card memory...

Apparently, i havent tried yet, the difference between ULTRA and HIGH settings would not be apparent to the usual 'descerning' player... very little quantization exists between these two modes...

Do what i did, set in game res at 1024x768, medium qual and experience great, playable, non-pausing framerates on a Xp2800 + R9600XT all at stock freqs...

Just turn the sound and bass up and prepare for a unique gaming experience...

ps if anyone finds a link to a fullversion "demo" so i can tell if i want to pay for it or not i would appreciate it

Apparently a demo is not too far off. Just have to wait for id to bash thru the piles of money so they can get back to their computer desks...

Seriously thou, just buy a copy from EB... play it, and if you like it keep it... if not, take it back and make some BS up about it not working... plenty of other people have had issues thus far with it crashing and stuff... as such EB will give you a full refund.. worked for me with FarCry and dodgy CD copy protection stuff.

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
