From the latest .plan
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 http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif 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 ournumerous 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 ofyour 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'tbecause 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 http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif
Recapping today's headlines....DOOM 3 GOLD!!!
Yay.
