It would have to be something pretty special, which I can't see Doom 3 being.
"Mutton dressed as lamb." I fear, I really do hope it isn't.

Looks like HL2 won. (refering to other thread)
I have two possible explanasions.
A. They decided that current hardware could not support what they wanted ( Unlikely)
B. They saw HL2 and decided to partially go back to the drawing board.
These could explain a 2-3 months delay, but a whole year delay is pretty huge. Maybe they saw DNF and got scared. j/k

i personally think they have delayed it to avoid clash with hl2

Thats probably right, but to delay it a year means they were not happy with what they have. Perhaps HL2 won the battle, but will not win the war.

Why does every Doom 3 or HL2 thread turn into a fighting match over which one is going to be better?
If there is a delay on Doom 3, hopefully it'll coax back Trent Reznor

I wasn't trying to start anything, I'm just ponting out the obvious.
I bet music is one of the reasons its delayed too. Reznor will probably come back, as it does not take 1.5 years to make an album. (Well... most of the time.)

More likely than not I will buy both, unless one's a total dud, therefore I could care less wich is "better". That does bother me having to wait longer for DIII though, makes me wonder if it will even be worth a hoot.

Has anybody heard of any beta testing going on with Doom III? It very well could have something to do with todays hardware not quite being up to snuff and id is waiting for the next batch of vid cards to be released and circulating in the public. This is unlikely, but maybe they started testing and found that it ran pretty schmitty on the average joes hardware. The likely scenario is that they dont want to have to compete with HL2 and want the launch date to bring in maximum cash so that they can start recovering the millions of dollars spent on creating the game. Or it could have a bit to do with both of what I have stated.

I don't think hardware has a huge effect on the delay. Carmack stated that a 9700 would be fine. Also Isn't the next batch of cards supposed to come out during late september or october? Therefore in a year the industry will have had 2 or possibly 3 generation or cards being released. I do not find it possible that the game is that far ahead of its time.
Even if hardware was the issue, why wait. They would make the same amount of money if ten people bought the game every month or 120 people bought the game at one time. A person who plans on buying the game will by it eventually. This is ofcourse assuming they do not lower prices for a year, which would probably hold true any way.
I wonder if quake IV has anything to do with it.

If you like the Doom, Doom 2, and got into them, then you will like doom 3. It should be a great single player game. They might of did the delay so that they could put more of a multiplayer into the game and not make it all single.

i think it was pushed back simply because it's not done yet. personally, i think this game will be terrible and i will only play it once just so i can tell everyone i've atleast played doom III when i say half life 2 is better. the story cracks me up... if you've seen that one e3 trailer you'll know what i mean. it's pathetic. half life 2 will have revolutionary additions to the gaming world graphically as well as game play wise - and all doom 3 has to offer is a pretty enviroment, which, based on the latest maximum pc article, only surpasses half life by the shadows and that's it. i'll laugh when it gets terrible reviews and everyone keeps playing hl2 even after it comes out.

on the reznor album deal 1.5 years probably got him a quarter of the way through The Fragile
but he best get the soundtrack done, I feel its going to make or brake this game (atleast for me)

By the time Doom3 comes out, it will have had so much hype, it'll totally suck. I've already gotten tiered of waiting for it. They might as well scrap it and start working more on Quake4.
The darn game's gonna turn out like Unreal 2. That game was probably one of the biggest failures I've ever seen. The graphics looked like any other game's graphics and the gameplay was no better than an "ok" shooter. Nothing special like Serious Sam which was just fun as hell to play cuz you could shoot at something like 500 enemies at a time. Nothing special at all. Just another shooter.
I really think Doom 3 is headed for the the same brick wall. By the time it comes out, there's going to be so many new games using the full power of graphics cards that are/will-be out that it just won't be a big deal anymore. Doom3 was trying to capitalize on it's bad as hell graphics, but HL2 stole the show already, and I'm sure that other games will quickly follow suit, making Doom 3 just a re-telling of Doom I, instead of it being a re-telling of Doom I WITH the most ground-breaking and revolutionary graphics ever.
Good going id.
