Its a downer when games are delayed. having been recently working on a game that is due for release this year on PC I understand why this can happen.
Doom 3 is a game that has some gorgeous graphics, done by a guy who is brilliant at this kind of thing. Its no doubt that certain technical difficulties are going to arise in a project so challenging.

I note that HL2 is looking at being on time, mind thats had a 6 year development cycle so I dont expect any major delays for this one.

However, around september, look out for a title called B.R.E.E.D.
Published by CDV and created by Brat designs, Its been labelled as a Halo killer and won game of the show at ECTS 2002.

There's a demo available, groovy....textures look a bit low res from the screenshots though, I hate that compressed look.

I admit that those screens look a little off. I have a feeling its because they are not using any anti aliasing. Either that or they got some muppet to use low res when taking the shots.

Yes an Xbox version is planned, although when exactly I cannot say.
Hopefully Doom3 will happen after our thunder has been made, even though we should be up against HL2 I am confident of a decent success. This is the first game from a new studio so keep an eye out for them.

I've tried the demo, it's not bad but there is something wrong...somewhere...I think it's because there is no background sound effects or music like in Halo.

Nooo, I was talking about that Breed game.
After playing the demo for a second time, I have to admit that it's not really my thing and it's trying too hard to be Halo.
