DOOM III Goes GOLD! The wait is over!

IT'S DONE!!!!!!!

Yes, this is the official word that DOOM 3 has been code released and has been approved for manufacturing!
It won't be long now until the anticipation ends and the PH34R begins ;-) We literally just hung up with
Activision and have confirmed that our latest release candidate has been mutually approved and is finally
GOLD. Thanks to everyone for their patience (yeah right! =) and for everyone at id, Activision and our
numerous partners for helping us create what I believe is absolutely the best game we have ever made.

So, the next question is release dates. Retailers in the States will be allowed to pick up games starting
at 12:01 AM on August 3rd. The official street date is actually August 5th in the U.S.A., but some of
your favorite stores will probably have it early for those of you who have to have it first. Check with
your local retailer for that information.

Internationally, the game will take a few more days to make it to the store shelves. The UK will probably get it first, on or about August 6th. Everywhere else will probably be Friday, August 13th (que Twilight Zone Theme) or close to that date, with just a few exceptions (e.g. Russia and Poland). This isn't
because we don't have love for you folks outside the U.S., but the localization and manufacturing process
takes a bit longer outside the U.S. where we will have JVC run 24/7 to get the units built. I guess the
European manufacturers prefer to give their employees nights and weekends off. Go figure!

The champagne is flowing here at id and smiles abound!

I'll update again with some DOOM 3 preparation tips (not what hardware to buy - you'll have to wait for
a programmer for that sort of thing). In the meantime, I want to see those "DOOM 3 GOLD!!!" threads set
new records for swamping message board servers, destroying productivity, and post counts ;-)

Recapping today's headlines....DOOM 3 GOLD!!!

I hope it will be just as good for Xbox. I will buy it if so, that and halo2..

Anyone else gonna get it for xbox?
 
Re: DOOM III Goes GOLD! The wait is over!

Yeah I will also be getting it for the Xbox, this is one that will need to be in my collection. Playing it on 5.1 will be sweet.

Adam, ID did a great job with the graphics engine of DOOM III so that it looks great on even low end systems, I am playing it on Medium and I have smooth frame rates and the game looks FANTASTIC. (Meduim is at the same resolution the Xbox will display at.)

PC games are gh3y. Pssh! Using a keyboard to game, that's so fucking gh3y. You might as well put on your star trek outfit and sit infront of your enterprise deck play set! :p

Re: DOOM III Goes GOLD! The wait is over!

I kinda agree, I went out and got a controler for the game but I can't get it mapped to the keys on the keyboard right. (But I DO like the Mouse much better then the analog sticks for aiming.)
 
Re: DOOM III Goes GOLD! The wait is over!

Re: DOOM III Goes GOLD! The wait is over!

Have not picked up, yet. Wasn't the game also sceduled to be released on the box? cause I would much rather play the game with a controller, than a keyboard....
Though, it never bothered me before....
