John Carmack confirms that the graphically impressive first-person shooter will come out for the Xbox and will match the visual fidelity of the PC version.

Id Software had previously expressed interest in doing an Xbox version of its upcoming first-person shooter, but hadn't confirmed that there would be a console version of the game.

Today during his keynote at QuakeCon, id's John Carmack said that the Xbox is the only console platform that id is "completely committed" to releasing Doom III on. Carmack further commented that the Xbox version will have the "full graphics fidelity" of the PC version, which made a major debut at this year's E3, where it won a number of awards.

Id Software has said that work on the Xbox version won't start until the PC game is complete. At QuakeCon 2002, id expressed hope that the game would be done before next year's E3 in May.

I wonder how Doom III would look on a PS2.... all those jaggies. WOW. I wish I had a screen to compare.

This game will be released at the same time as Halo 2..... how am I going to have time for both of them. My love for the Xbox has rised even more.

lol, the ps2 version would be so bad. if they did both versions with full graphics (like in the pc version). the xbox one would probly run at like 40-60 fps, and the ps2 would run at like 5-15 fps. lol

Sure everyone says Doom III sucks when they think it is just coming to PC and that Halo 2 will blow it away graphically yet the first time they announce it for the Xbox you are all over it again...of course showing high res screenshots from the pc version.

Should be interesting to compare both versions though. I will only buy one though, the one for the system that has a mouse and keyboard.

The Xbox version of DOOM 3 will look as good as the PC version. I would really like to see GameCube or PlayStation 2 handle DOOM 3. John Carmack knows Xbox is the only console that can handle DOOM 3.

DOOM 3 and Halo 2 will both come out in 2003...Hah, Metroid what??? :D

Life is good...

Well it just goes to show Adam Sessler of Extended Play is yet again a Freaking Moron , he said that only a G4 could handle it but I guess since that new thing Nvidia Created to make FINAL Fantasy the Movie style animation really works for the Xbox , I knew that one day I would look at Halo and rallisport and say man those graphics suck compared to new Xbox games , it only goes to show that Xbox will be king, I hope they still stay Commited to us when they put on the throne ,

pfff... lets see PS2 or GAMECUBE do that kinda stuff..... yeah sure.... the Comp version is coming out when GF5 comes... so the framerate will be acceptable im pretty sure. what i am not sure about is if we are going to have the same love for it as we did with DOOM. the original was awesome cause we were not used to that kind of gameplay. but now we are... eh oh well, Carmack has never failed us with a "new engine" game, but Final DOOM was horrible.

These screenshots look awesome. I saw them a while back. A friend of mine works for a high end graphics company (high end as in they make graphics cards that cost as much as some of our cars - chevettes not included). ID gave them a preview of the game just to see how their hardware could handle the engine with all the options toggled on. It ran at a blistering 5 fps (and yes - they were running on 3D cards). I'm not sure, but these systems may have been where these screenshots came from. Again, this is all guesswork, but I wouldn't expect the Xbox version (or the PC version for that matter) to look this good. Close, but not quite at this level.

I hope I'm wrong.
