I just tried this leaked alpha and IMO there is simply no doubt that Doom III will be a landmark release. This is the most impressive thing I've ever seen.

Yes it runs choppy on my AMD 800 with GF2 but it has truly astonishing detail. They are also making good use of sound to keep the tension high. With a surround sound setup this game will be truly scary. The ferocity of the creatures is very frightening!

With res at 640/480 (mode 3) fullscreen, I was able to acheive smooth playback of the cinematic sequences by tweaking the config. I enabled compression of all graphic effects (fyi: executing 'mediumquality.cfg' will set these values automatically), reduced color depths to 16, and disabled ansitropy and character shadows.

Seeing the famous bathroom cinematic sequence is an utterly amazing and unnerving experience.

IMO Doom III will raise the bar and set the standard of how future games should be made.

I'm glad I was able to obtain the leak and preview this game. I can't wait for the release now. They still have lots of work to do. It's going to be hard to wait.

GJ ID! Very impressive!

And just think.. It isn't even fit for release yet. I'll try it out one of these.. I'm not expecting my Radeon 7200 64Mb DDR to be able to handle the excitement though.
