Gryph Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 (edited) The reason the XBOX is like that is because of the incredibly fast bandwidth speed. Calling it just a dumbed down PC is not the most accurate thing to say. It's core design is like that but they pulled out all the stops since it's a gaming console and everything works perfectly in concert with one another.

iq_132 Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Well... I would say a PC game looks way better on a tv than an Xbox game. Expecially since TVs are so low-res. Doom III is going to be very optimised for the xbox. They will probably downsize textures, poly counts, etc. You have to remember that the xbox has very limited ram (yes I know about Virtual memory), but running a lot of stuff off V-mem is much slower than loading it all up into ram.

Wizard Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Actually, they did downsample a mass load of textures and poly counts to the models and walls and redid some levels. The only thing that stays the same is the sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks horrible. Honestly, no. I don't really care much about xbox games. *edit* Just did. The textures look like crap, the poly's are quite low, and the lighting effects are crappy too: The shadows are too hard and don't look right.

Agozer Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 This is called derailing the topic but... Does anyone have a link to the Bill-BOX Doom 3 pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Gamespot has some. They look like Doom 3 on a unoptimized coded voodoo config. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daeval Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 Pft...pre-built computers...a real gamer builds his own. I've never going to buy a prebuilt computer for my self, there's no fun in it. Yet another reason why I'm not a huge fan of consoles.That wasn't pre-built, I put that together from parts on that site. I've never seen a pre-built comp come that well configured.
