I tried an alpha version a long ago, in my opinion it will be a resident evil styled game except with realtime graphics that are superior. It's not that revolutionary, but for real time stuff sure I guess, but, there are many companies out there today, it's alot more competitive but with ID's reputation and Carmack, ya it'll be something.

When games have full HDRI+Radiosity outdoor lightning and other advance raytracing techniques in real time.. games will be truly realistic

Hardware specs will probably be ridiculous. As with any new hyped up big action game, any computer not on the cutting edge of video rendering technology is screwed.

welp, time to get a GeForce 17 i guess! woohoo!

*me whips out ye olde PC Gamer issue*

According to this, the screenshots that were run in this issue were taken on a machine using a Radeon 9700 Pro on 800x600 resolution. They say with a Pentium 4 or an Athlon XP with 512 MB RAM, using the top-range video setup, it should run fine.

They do say that the biggest upgrade one should consider should be in speakers. The game will be optimized for 5.1 and 6.1 surround-sound speakers, so if you don't want to spend that money, get some good headphones.

Release date? According to Amazon (as I posted above, I preordered ), the release date is listed as November 15th of this year. Now, I have my doubts about that date, but that's the best I know of ATM.

Bah, if you built a computer two months ago you can play Doom 3. I know that my two nicer computers will be able to play it and they are a lot older than two months. Sure it won't looks as pretty as a system with a GeForce FX or Radeon 9800 but it will play it just fine.

I'll try the demo before I buy it. Quake has left a bad taste in my mouth for ID software. It was never a good replacement for the Doom series.

Sounds to me like the graphics card would be the only thing in serious need of upgrade there. :ylsuper
