Re: PS

Yeah, that's pretty much my system specs too, but I only have a Voodoo
4! I'll be upgrading to match DOOM 3's medium settings within the next
couple of months.

With FPS the focus is returning on gameplay, and away from multiplayer
deathmatch, thanks in part to Half-Life. I think DNF will have a very
strong single player game, no it won't be worth the 8 years of
development since 1996, but it'll stand on its own that's for sure.
There is a new Duke Nukem side scroller called Duke Nukem: Manhattan
Project. I hear it's very good, but I never got around to buying it.
I've gone cold turkey on ANY purchases (save comics) untill I finish
my upgrade BUT it's first on my queue once that's over with. There's
also new FPS Duke3D styled game for the GameBoy Advanced that's has a
very Wolf3D few toit, like a portation.

The Dopefish is assured to be in DOOM 3, that's id Soft's baby and
it's been in all the Quakes. There is a question of if it'll make it
into DNF, George B. has called off all Dopefish references since they
have to pay royalties. I guess it is a bit silly and I think perhaps
id Software should put together a one time dime payment license to
allow serious developers to "Use the fish" as it were.

It's interesting to see Linux fly up on here all of the sudden. I
remember back a few years ago in classic gaming discussion it was
"linuck wha?" I feel the love now, in a world with out fences who
needs Gates? Duke 3D's source code has been released, and there is a
portation to Linux out there. I downloaded it and tried with some
success to get it to work, but that was a year ago so I'm sure there
are vast improvements. I'll try and find the best link. Rise of the
Triad also had a source code release but I've heard of no Linux
portation, but there just HAS to be one.

Be sure and buy Blu-Ray and not HD DVD when that battle comes around,
because Microsoft backs HD DVD. :D

... Yeah, I got on the GL bandwagon long ago and picked up the Voodoo 4 because of it's performance in that area. Truth be told, for what I do with my computer...
