My PC now though has the ability the play both Doom 3 and Crysis at the same time as the graphics card technology is much further ahead than it was in 2004. Now of course, computers a fickle and will all run things a bit differently. Long story short, the game was before its time and will always be burned into the memory of every Doom player there is.

Not only that but it was the way the player’s interaction with the environment that gave it that extra real sensation. That game took some power!īut there was no denying that the realism that Id had created was the best that had been seen at the time, with the dynamic light effects and actual textured models made both environment and NPCs the most real anyone had ever seen on a PC platform. In fact the only other game that was hungrier than Doom 3 didn’t come until two years later with the release of the original Crysis. Laughable 8 years later, but at the time this was only found in fairly high-end machines and limited the game play quite a bit for the average gamer. Minimum settings I think required a 256MB graphics card, a P4 processor and at least 512Mb of RAM. Of course back in 2004, it was the most demanding game a PC had ever seen when it came to minimum requirements to play. Probably a game that was well ahead of its, Doom 3 became in my mind, the standard for all PC shooting games to follow. I’ll be putting this in a PDF for download as well.

Whatever the reason though, I’ve done many things that defy logic when being confronted with a new Doom game release, including in 2004 buying a new $2000 dollar PC just so I could play it as well as buying the game 4 times because I thought it would get to me faster from another vendor…yeah…like I said, defy logic I did.Īnyway, I wanted to make this page a dedication to the franchise and also share a few things like cheats and helpful hacks for gamers who might be having an issue or two with the new game. Of course I’ve been a Doom fanatic since its original release in 1993 as it wasn’t much earlier that I found out about Wolfenstein 3D and never looked back! There was just something about it that made you forget you were sitting behind a computer and hours would fly by like minutes. If you’re like me, than you were a happy man on October 16th, 2012 as Id Software re-released an enhanced and updated version of the shooter classic from 2004 Doom 3.
