Wizard Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Name: Todd HollensheadEmail: Description: CEOProject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------7-14-2004 11:52 AM CDT IT'S DONE!!!!!!! Yes, this is the official word that DOOM 3 has been code released and has been approved for manufacturing!It won't be long now until the anticipation ends and the PH34R begins We literally just hung up withActivision and have confirmed that our latest release candidate has been mutually approved and is finallyGOLD. Thanks to everyone for their patience (yeah right! =) and for everyone at id, Activision and our numerous partners for helping us create what I believe is absolutely the best game we have ever made. So, the next question is release dates. Retailers in the States will be allowed to pick up games startingat 12:01 AM on August 3rd. The official street date is actually August 5th in the U.S.A., but some of your favorite stores will probably have it early for those of you who have to have it first. Check withyour local retailer for that information. Internationally, the game will take a few more days to make it to the store shelves. The UK will probably get it first, on or about August 6th. Everywhere else will probably be Friday, August 13th (que Twilight Zone Theme) or close to that date, with just a few exceptions (e.g. Russia and Poland). This isn't because we don't have love for you folks outside the U.S., but the localization and manufacturing processtakes a bit longer outside the U.S. where we will have JVC run 24/7 to get the units built. I guess theEuropean manufacturers prefer to give their employees nights and weekends off. Go figure! The champagne is flowing here at id and smiles abound! I'll update again with some DOOM 3 preparation tips (not what hardware to buy - you'll have to wait fora programmer for that sort of thing). In the meantime, I want to see those "DOOM 3 GOLD!!!" threads setnew records for swamping message board servers, destroying productivity, and post counts Recapping today's headlines....DOOM 3 GOLD!!! 3-15-2004 We're completely sold out of the DOOM novels. Thanks to everyone who ordered. I'm sorry we didn'thave enough for everyone who wanted a set. We still have the new DOOM 3 T-shirts available. For the international fans, I'm sorry that we can't currently ship outside of the U.S. We're workingon adding this functionality to the store as soon as we can. Please be patient and I'll let everyoneknow once we can ship everywhere.Source I know I said I wouldn't give into the hype, but theres a little evil voice inside me thats saying "Kill those forsakened Arch Viles."

Gryph Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 (edited) Finally!! This site is up and running! http://www.ua-corp.com/ I wonder what the clock is counting down to? For those that don't know, Union Aerospace Corporation is the name of the company in Doom that colonizes Mars. I've been visiting that site almost everyday in hoping something would happen. Before it would just have a message that said "System is Offline." Now it's online! Edited July 15, 2004 by GryphonKlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
