Versions for the PC and the Xbox 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.
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 Russia and Poland) 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.
