Star Wars Galaxies was really fun and addicting, but it sucked when the trial ran out of days. Sad

I'm too cheap to pay $15 a month for a game. I hate paying monthy for games, it's a waste of cash.

I hear ya. I played for about 4 or 5 months while I lived in LA and it was cool... because I'm a star wars fan it was working well. I'm waiting for the expansion. That looks so nice and it's twitch fighting... full speed battles in space. Should be cool shit.

I've heard about it... Aren't they accepting beta testers now for it?

yup. it'll be hard to get into unless you went to their little shindig down in Anaheim for the galaxies players. They pick from those attendees first then the rest of us losers get whats left for spots. I don't have the time for it anyway although I signed up. I just wanna blow up x-wings in my tie.

anyone having stability issues with their radeon 9800 cards with Doom 3?

http://www.omegadrivers.net

I hear these guys are making drivers that are more stable but I haven't tried them myself. My buddy said his game ran longer and more stable... knock on wood.

Yeah, those drivers are supposed to be more reliable, faster, and better quality than the official ones. I suggest downloading it when the latest one is done.

Painkiller has a better engine. Razz


WRONG!


Have you even played Painkiller? It uses 2x2048x2048 high-res textures (which are extremely sharp), the Havok 2.0 physics engine, and extremely high polygon monsters and levels, and I still get a steady 50 - 70fps on the highest detail and on 1024x768 resolution. Don't forget to mention the amount of bump mapping it uses like Doom 3.


I've played Painkiller. It looked very nice, but nowhere near Doom 3. Doom 3 is definitely the best engine available right now, followed by Crytek (although Crytek runs like ass, they need to optimize the damn thing).

I still think Source will be the best engine. The only thing it lacks from Doom 3 is the advanced lighting engine, everything else is superior.

I wasn't really basing the engine quality on how good it looks; Painkiller owns the Doom 3 engine in a sort of a way because Painkiller has nice graphics and killer performance at the same time, while Doom 3 has killer graphics, but not as good performance.

Remember... Doom 3 is using Normal Mapping on all characters too. Shaders are costing them a few bucks.

Well, the thing is Doom 3 looks a lot better than Painkiller. And it runs very well too. I guarantee you if Painkiller implemented all the things Doom 3 does (if it even can) then it would be unplayable. Painkiller is an extremely basic engine, it doesn't really do anything extraordinarily well.

No, it's just because it's your porn and masturbation time. That's why you don't play it at night.

In addition to Warranto's fix:

http://ucguides.savagehelp.com/Doom3/Doom3Guide.htm

That guide has a tweak guide to it. I found it VERY useful. I'm on a GFFX5200 with onlt 512 DDR @ 400mhz and a Barton 2500 and I can now run it on High detail at 800x600 all but flawlessly.

No after playing it a full day I expirienced my first sleepless night in years. I haven't been this freaked out by anything this bad for quite sometime. With surround sound this game will give you the creeps.

ALSO: I got the Prima's guide with it, and it is a huge help.

Look's really neat, looks like CompUSA thought it was too "special" and gave it a nice big plastic box. Smile

I'm gonna get a copy soon, looks like a kickass game. Definetly worth my money. Very Happy

They are planning a doom movie and they want to target a PG-13 audience. Now how the hell are they going to that with a game that is rated M and has Zombies you blow the shit outta.

That Doom "movie" has been in the works longer than the first Resident Evil movie.

Too bad the Resident Evil movie sucked, or in another words, wasn't that good. But I sort of liked the part where one guy gets sliced into many pieces (yummy :twisted: )[/quote]
