Release Dates

[Dragon]

everyone is talking about when doom 3 and hl2 and halo2 and stuff are coming out. but nobody says When theyre actually coming out!

anybody know?

[Jason425]

n-e-v-e-r!

actually doom is SUPPOSED to be out this month.. I wouldn't be suprised if they just baggeed the whole hl2 program and put it up for DL.. sure they prob won't, but I've seen developers do some stupid things..

[StinkyMojo]

actually doom is SUPPOSED to be out this month..

no actually it wasn't... I was a April release back in the Holidays but now both HL2 and Doom 3 are "setting forth" an August release... So expect both of them at E3 once again... :rolleyes:

[eviltechie]

hhahaha
you guys are still waiting for those games?
lol

i never bothered waiting for them

[Jason425]

same.. i just laugh as people are like omg it's going to come out!!!

all those hl2 coupons are going to go out of style

[eviltechie]

lol yeah

and to think NVIDIA is gonna start giving out doom3 games when their new cards come out

no coupons though ive heard
which will be better

[Jason425]

definately.. but when you are selling cards for $500 you can afford to give away games.. :/

[gnogtr]

.....But the ATI will probably run it faster.................

[Jason425]

dunno.. doom 3 and nvidia are butt buddies.. if you know what I mean.. just like hl2 and ati

[StinkyMojo]

well I like to call my self a "Hardcore Gamer".. I have over 200 games in my house spanning multiple consoles and PC's... and its just fun waiting for these games (ie hl2, doom3). The purpose of computing for other "hardcore gamers", such as myself, would probably go around 75% gaming and 25% other... while most people are 50-50 or even 25% games and 75% other.

:rofl: Fat chance seeing as how the next generation of cards seem to be playing out! Anyways, as for price, both companies generally are pretty comparable when making reference to price.

[Jason425]

pfft.. i'm about 40-60 games/other... too busy on here ;)

...But we haven't seen any benchies yet, so we can't jump ahead of ourselves....

[vee_ess]

:/ Good point.

but at least the current reference boards are showin it that way...

[gnogtr]

But we can now, because the new ATI is king of the hill! It even beats out the Nvidia Ultra Extreme! (It may run Doom III faster because it's OpenGl)

[StinkyMojo]

Not by much though... also, the new nVidia supports DX 9.0c and the new radeons don't... that can prove to be a problem for those cards in the next coming years. But I agree, right NOW ati is leading, but I don't know about the fututre.

[Jason425]

since c isn't even out, games won't be out in c for a long time... so forget it..

well I read a prediction that 9.0c games will be out around christmas and new year... thats not THAT far away.

[Jason425]

far enough that the x800 will be like the 9600xt now..
