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.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By sinn3r · Posted

      You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
