Doom 4 to Look Vastly Better on PC - 1UP Blog

Although many PC gamers criticize id for multi-plat development, it seems like the PC is still their primary love and focus.

"By the the time that DOOM 4 ships to consoles, PC will be light years ahead of current consoles. In this case, the PC version will support significant visual improvements over 360 or PS3 versions"

Say the Lemmings and the Cows as they cower from the Sheep.

I don't play sales, I play games. No need to cower from the sheep.

I doubt it'll be "light years" ahead. What is Id's philosophy here? That everyone needs to upgrade all their PC hardware & exchange all the consoles of this generation for better technology in a next generation JUST so we can play Doom 4? It's complete nonsense. If they want to tell everyone that Doom 4 will be watered down on consoles then that just affects sales of Doom 4 on consoles & they LOSE money because of it. They must be idiots.

I don't care. 360 and PS3 owners can shut up about Wii's graphics now because they are getting a watered down graphics port of Doom 4 while Wii owners scoop up the exclusives.

It's Doom4, the sequel to Doom3....

Let me repeat that:

DOOM 3!

Seriously, who gives a damn.

if it uses typical memory alone (1-2 gigs) then it should look better than on the 512 meg consoles.Ontain

Just means longer loading, smaller enviroments or pop-ups.

So you come into random threads that have nothing to do with the Wii or sales to start something for no reason? NICE JOB!!!!!!

it's called being a Troll

Well that's a shocking surprise i must say, good go..oh wait.

edit: Tony-Harrison, you're still getting watered down ports, it'snot like there going to stop now that the PC is pulling ahead, it just means it's going to be *worse* for the wii. Sucks for you.

I'm cool with the 360 & PS3 getting watered down ports..... DOOM is a game I only play on PC anyway.

DOOM

Duke Nukem

and any RTS will always be PC only for me.

though I spend much more time on my 360 than I do my PC...... I always keep my PC somewhat up-to-date. I wonder what the recommended specs will be on it.

Right now I'm running a:

Q6600 Quad COre 2.4Ghz
3Gigs RAM @ 800Mhz
8800GT - 512MB

it runs Crysis quite well..... I'm pretty sure I'll need to upgrade for DOOM4 though. Anyone who says PC gaming is cheap is not serious about their hardware. I've spent $6000 in the past 3 years on my System.

It was a very good flop, what did it get an 8.6? With todays rating system who knows if it wouldve been 8.5 or 9...but who cares? I felt the game was very good and very underrated because, according to whomever reviewed it, it was the same doom with better graphics...well, isnt that what everyone wanted? I sure as hell didnt want my doom being messed with

I feel exactly the same way. It's now just a lot easier to own a Nintendo Wii on this forum now that it is more official that ALL platforms are getting some degree of watered down graphics.

i am merely saying what name fits the descripion you gave, if by some reason it applies to someone here at system wars its nothing more then a coincidence *whistles*

3.5 million copies is a flop? It was id's most successful game.

I doubt it'll be "light years" ahead. What is Id's philosophy here?

jknight5422

what makes you think tha pc gamers need to upgrade to play Doom 4 maxed out... when current hardware like GFx cards and cpus are already beyond consoles in terms of power.. what i think carmack means is that this new engine will make good use of what is out already..

The Doom series is ID's main series after Commander Keen. Doom 3 was in development for a long time and just happened to be delayed several times, which explains why it felt outdated.

Not really surprising. What was surprising was managin to put Doom III on the xbox.Kez1984

Not really, it was tremendously watered down version compared to what you ran smooth on a Geforce4ti4200 or you just ran it on a 9800pro at at 1024x768 and 4xAA and 16xAF. Huge differences... I am sure they could make it for PS2 to but the bump maps would look like N64 textures and the shadows would have to be reduced greatly.

Not commercial.

Although many PC gamers criticize id for multi-plat development, it seems like the PC is still their primary love and focus.

I wish they would make a proper sequal to Quake: III, multiplayer only.Kez1984

They will, if Quake Live succeeds. This was said during the Quakecon conference.
