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 with

Activision and have confirmed that our latest release candidate has been mutually approved and is finally

GOLD. 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 starting

at 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 with

your 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 process

takes a bit longer outside the U.S. where we will have JVC run 24/7 to get the units built. I guess the

European 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 for

a programmer for that sort of thing). In the meantime, I want to see those "DOOM 3 GOLD!!!" threads set

new records for swamping message board servers, destroying productivity, and post counts ;-)

 

Recapping today's headlines....DOOM 3 GOLD!!!

We're completely sold out of the DOOM novels. Thanks to everyone who ordered. I'm sorry we didn't

have 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 working

on adding this functionality to the store as soon as we can. Please be patient and I'll let everyone

know once we can ship everywhere.

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."

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!
