DOOM 3: Windows 2000 and Xp
14:00 PST | Cyric
Well there have been rumours flying around lately that DOOM 3 would not be able to run on computers that have Windows 98 or Windows 98SE as their operating systems. Since we here at planetDOOM dislike rumours in all shapes and sizes, we went straight to the horses mouth so to speak and asked Activision themselves. The reply we got was that it is confirmed and indeed true that DOOM 3 will only run on Windows machines that have windows 2000 or XP and not lower. So there you have it, looks like some peoples upgrading woes just aren't quite over yet.

Creative Blackmailing id? 21:14 PST | Cyric
As we posted up yesterday, Creative and id have announced a collaboration between the two companies where id would add EAX ADVANCED HD audio technology to the DOOM 3 engine for future licensees. According to this post on Beyond3D.com, there seems to be more to that collaboration then at first seemed. Apparently Creative has a patent on a shadowing technique that appears to have some similiarity with the shadowing technique that is used by id on the DOOM engine. Since Creative put a patent on it, id was put in a sticky situation as to a work around. Included in the post was this apparent quote from id Software co-founder and programming guru John Carmack:
The patent situation well and truly sucks.
We were prepared to use a two-pass algorithm that gave equivalent results at a speed hit, but we negotiated the deal with Creative so that we were able to use the zfail method without having to actually pay any cash. It was tempting to take a stand and say that our products were never going to use any advanced Creative/3dlabs products because of their position on patenting gaming software algorithms, but that would only have hurt the users.
