DOOM 3 is a first person shooter computer game developed by id Software and published by Activision. Versions for the PC and the Xbox (developed by Vicarious Visions) are scheduled to be released. Set in 2145 in a Union Aerospace Corporation (UAC) research center on Mars, it is a complete retelling of the original DOOM, with a completely new graphics and game engine.
The game was in development for 4 years, starting from June 1, 2000. In 2001 the game was first shown to the public at MacWorld in Tokyo. It was later demonstrated at E3 in 2002, where a 15-minute gameplay demo was shown in a small theater. It was extremely warmly received and Doom 3 won five awards at E3.
According to John Carmack, the "tripod of features" in Doom 3 technology are unified lighting and shadowing, complex animations and scripting that show off the lighting and shadowing and GUI surfaces that add extra interactivity to the game. Other engine features of DOOM 3, such as normal mapping of textures, realistic handling of object physics and Dolby Digital sound, aim to provide the most realistic gaming experience yet.
In July 2004, id Software confirmed the American release date of Doom III is August 3, 2004. The British release date is August 6. The rest of the world (except for Poland and Russia, where only the pirated version will appear on August 3) will have the game in stores on August 13.
Doom 3 went gold on Wednesday, July 14 2004. A Mac OS X release was confirmed on Thursday, July 15 2004.
