Doom 3 on the original OG Xbox is a port of the original PC game from 2004. However, just exactly how do you port a game from the PC that demanded lots of me...

I remember playing Doom 3 on my pc at the time, and it was like 20 fps, maybe. I also remember the marketing on PC parts at the time having stickers like “Runs Doom 3” on them.

When it came out on Xbox, one of my friends marveled at it and how good it looked on console, but was annoyed at all the pc comparisons a second friend and I were making.

      It’s October 2003. You just got a new copy of GamePro and you read about a new Doom game coming out and it looks fucking sick! Look at the shadows, look at the detail, your hands are trembling in excitement and you and your buddies, even the ones that don’t really play PC games heard about Doom 3 and you realize that none of you have a PC that will be able to run it for years.

        I was so lucky. I didn’t think I would be able to play it, still rocking a Pentium 3 700 mhz pre built pc with a ATI Rage 128 Pro. Then suddenly, just a few days before the release, my dad comes with a new pc: Pentium 4 3000 mhz, GeForce FX 5600 GT and a brand new 19 inch CRT Ilyama monitor. It played the shit out of Doom 3. Those were the days hehe.
