Worlds most demanding game

[username_57]

Hello,
does any1 know what the worlds most demanding computer game is?

 

[MMO Fan]

not true i remember building a rig just for that game and spent maybe $700 anc could pretty much max it out on launch.had an athlon 2800+ with a geforce 6600 gt.

Yes Doom 3 is a great game and highly highly optimized John Carmacks Masterpiece. My HP mini 311 Netbook with an integrated Nvidia 9400M GPU "not bad" for a netbook and 1.6ghz Intel Atom single core could max Doom 3 out on ultra 1366x768 with 40 to 60fps.

YA man Prey was so great is it the one where the drunk Natives in the bar get abducted by Aliens and then you have to save your girlfriend in an alternate reality space ship thing with deranged Physics ect. If so that game was a lost and forgotten gem with one of the best intros ever that did not get half the respect it deserved.

Any self respecting gamer that has not played Doom 1,2,3 is no gamer at all LOL run go buy and play Doom 3 it is a masterpiece even today holy cow almost 8 years later already.

I have played Doom 3.
Although, not 1 or 2. I don't feel like playing them yet...

Go play them. You really need to experience Doom as it is. Doom is Doom. Doom 3 is...a good game. But it's not Doom.

Doom today is not Doom when it was released. A big reason those games were so fondly remembered is they were cutting edge. Today they aren't so special.

Wolfenstien 3D, DOOM and Rise Of The Triad are the grand daddies of FPS gaming and they were masterpieces of there time and will be remembered for what they now are genera defining classics and I am pleased that I was just old enough to appreciate them in there glory days. We cannot expect DOOM 3 to bring back what made DOOM I and DOOM II so special but than again no game can or will ever fill there shoes not even a remake though DOOM 4 will be epic.

I think what killed Doom 3 for me was the pacing. In Doom and Doom 2, you were constantly assaulted from all sides - I mean, the battle was to stay alive to make it to the switch.

In Doom 3, you fight a few demons, and then go wonder around in the dark awhile, blasting the occasional imp that is hiding around the corner. Are you kidding? This is supposed to be Doom, not Resident Evil. I mean, the game had like 3 cacodemons. How many pinkys? Maybe a few. There were more pinkys and cacodemons in a single level in Doom than there are in the entire game of Doom 3. That just isn't right. In Doom, it was blast blast blast all the way, baby. In Doom 3, it was let's listen to retarded audio tapes with horrendous voiceovers. Once you got to hell it got a lot better. But the first half of that game killed it for me. It was also way to easy - except on nightmare, where it was impossible (ever decreasing health, are you serious?). I mean, I basically rode the quick save and quick load buttons the entire time on nightmare, and to the point that it wasn't so much a challenge as it was an excercise in trial and error.

As a whole, Doom 3 reeks of bad design choices and poorly implemented ideas. I did think ROE was much better, though.

You guys are way to hard on DOOM 3 ya it could never live up to the first ones but those are the games that set the ground work for the whole FPS genre so big shoes to fill to say the leased. DOOM 3 was all about the atmosphere and for a game in 2004 the graphics were so great and the audio logs were well voiced over.

Especially with OpenGL support with EAX advanced HD audio. Was one of the only games from that time that actually sounded amazing with OpenGL soundblaster cards.

Oh yes how could I forget EAX DOOM 3 did sound nuts.

I played Doom 1 and 2, but not 3. I was into Farcry and Halflife 2 when Doom 3 came out and just skipped it. That said, a much slower pace of action can built up anticipation if done right. I have been going through Crysis 2 this week, and I've almost found that all the big fights get a little much. I keep having to take breaks to get a break from the action. Perhaps if I were younger I'd feel differently, but I've started to enjoy a slower paced game.

I agree ^ +1 and will add Crysis 2 is just over the top just cause it can be woohooo look at me type thing.

I will say this for Crysis 2, it looks stunning in 3D vision, especially with the DX11 and high res textures. It is just incredible how it looks.

Global Thermonuclear War by Falken needed tons of processing power back in the day.

Who cares Crysis 1 modded looks better and I no longer play games for how they look I play it for how they play and I am an MMO RPG gamer right now I am experiencing Zelda A Link to the past on ZSNES on PC for the first time and loving it.

Crysis 1 doesn't work with 3D vision, while Crysis 2 is perfect with 3D vision. With 3D, it's definitely better looking than Crysis 1 without.

But 3D is a GIMMICK

Lol, the motto of the clueless. It's only a gimmick if you haven't used 3D vision in a game built or modified to use it.

Personally it gives me a headache. I once tryed it on the 3DS but thats it I am sure Nvidia and AMD have it much much better than that though. That being said I will no cut my FPS/Performance in half for it no matter how great it is performance is still #1

 

[bystander]

In what forms have you used it? I have heard people who say it gives them a headache, you aren't unique in that. However, most people who have said they get a headache from it cite other forms of 3D as their examples. 3D vision, with high FPS might not give you a headache. I too get a headache when I'm near 30 FPS, which game consoles and 3DTV's do. It may be different if you can be at 60 FPS. It was for me.

EDIT: to respond to your edit, that makes sense. This is why you want a good graphics card setup if you run 3D.

LIKE I SAID I have tryed 3D on the 3ds nINTENDO

Those get more complaints than anything and nothing compared to 3D vision. You'll have to try it to understand what I and others who use it have seen. You basically see it as if you were there, while wearing glasses (which some people don't like, but you get used to it).

 

[bystander]

And before you say you've seen 3D movies in the theater or on a 3DTV, they also pale in comparison. So far, 3D vision and HD3D in case of AMD are the only good forms of 3D I've seen.
