Doom 3 hotting up for a summer release  by Shane L at 19:54

Yes, news I found over on the /. site has confirmed rumours that Doom 3 will be released this summer.

No set date has been confirmed but sources say it cant be far off.

"This summer we're sending game fans on a first-class trip to Mars -- with a layover in Hell," said Todd Hollenshead, CEO, id Software. "DOOM 3 is coming to the PC and delivering the most atmospheric, terrifying and visually mind-blowing gaming experience ever conceived."

All looks good and personally i cant wait.

As someone who doesn't go in for multiplayer gaming, I still think HL2 is going to be the better game. HL2 seems more likely to have a good integrating story and be more of a thinker than D3. But isn't it almost a cert that HL2 is going to be better for multiplayer gaming?

I do, however, look forward to both of them as I'm sure they'll be excellent. :)

Well according to all the press we're going to be able to run HL2 wihtout having a cray. Sure hope it runs fine on my XP2800+ and Rad 9800pro. Aint no way i'm upgrading again in the summer. Possibly water cooling and overlocking tho :)
