No Doom 3 for Xbox....for at least 2 months

**thrAsher** · 02-08-2005

....this year, that is.

(*EDIT* Feel free to keep reading, but I, like many, know nothing about fiscal calendars and assumed this article meant no Doom 3 until April 2006. However, Q1 of fiscal year 2006 begins THIS April, so we should have it in the next couple months. IGN even ran another article to clarify the info from the article I quoted below. Oh, and thanks Lynx. )

For the first nine months of its fiscal year, Activision reports $1.2 billion in net revenues, an impressive 53% increase over $784.8 million reported for the same period last year.

Despite the cheerful news, Activision has a slight downer for fans of demon-slaying: DOOM 3 for the Xbox and the DOOM 3 PC expansion have both been pushed back to the company's fiscal 2006, which would mean April at the earliest. While neither title had received a solid date, Xbox gamers in particular have been eager for id Software's hot FPS sequel.

Vicarious Visions AND Activision can eat a fat one. Bastages.

Arghh, I was just getting hyped up to get this game for XBox because I really don't enjoy PC games as much. Oh well, more Chaos Theory time for me.

Ughhh, does this have to be corrected everytime it is posted?

Fiscal year 2006 folks. That starts in April of calendar year 2005, as in 2 months away.

HL2 is for the computer. Anyone who would get it for the Xbox vs. Computer will be missing out on some of the greatest graphics ever!

I'd buy Doom 3 over HL2 anyday.

**Shadow20002** · 02-08-2005

Hmm...time to play Unreal Championship 2 around this month and should keep me busy.

**Variation-XBA** · 02-08-2005

Still on track for April though

**thrAsher** · 02-10-2005

Wait, what? Hahaha. Obviously many were confused, as IGN and TXB both posted the story as if Doom wouldn't release until next year. Apparently, IGN realized this and has posted another article to clarify things.

Doom 3 is rapidly dropping on my list of games to care about.

**SamSmith** · 02-10-2005

i have both HL2 and D3 ... both are really great games... but HL2 is honestly the better game...

**SnoochyBoochy** · 02-11-2005

Argggh!!!!! Well, I guess it's time to focus on another exciting release... *Checks game release calendar*... Chaos Theory... Nah, too far away...

Worms 3D anyone?

**SamSmith** · 02-11-2005

worms 3d?? surely the horizon is brighter than that.... bros in arms... that should set the scene

I doubt that Doom3 will come to the Xbox anytime after 2005 for the simple reason that MS is planning on releasing their next-gen console during the 2005 holiday season. (to the best of my knowledge)

>> ms play no part in the release of the game... it is coming in 2005, it has been confirmed

i doubt if d3 will blow anyone away when finally released. i have played it on my pc and and it just didn't cut it like the original. sure, the graphics and atmosphere are rather impressive but it wasn't awe inspiring game play. infact the game play was actually lame. Judging by the demos of Area 51 that looks a far more inpressive game. and painkiller (if going by the PC version) is going to smack.
