Two New Doom III Xbox Screens - Writer Searches for More Adjectives

Lovely sorts of death on show.

Posted by Staff
Having run out of superlatives with which to describe the recent screenshots from the upcoming Doom III, we'll let these two new Xbox screenshots do the talking...

Oh, alright then. Again, that kooky dog-type creature is the main culprit, this time joined by some kind of hot lava demon. Creepy!

Developed by Vicarious Visions under the terrifyingly beady eye of id Software, expect Doom III for Xbox to hit shelves in time for October of this year.

I'm sure Xbox could do it, but whether it could self-shadow and render out frames at a rate that was considered "playable" is entirely another matter.

EVeryone knows that, for press screen, the developer cranks up the screen res and turns on all bells/whistles prior to frame advancing to the perfect shot :)

Who cares about bells and whistles screenshots? Bring on the game so it can do the talking, and be quick about it.
