I wonder if they have a VERY redone engine that will allow more graphics on the same PC's.    speaking of which.. next message form me is about vidcard's...     Ken       -------Original Message-------   From: Brian Weeden; The Hardware List Date: 10/03/04 21:00:32 To: The Hardware List Subject: Re: [H] Upcoming MMOs (was Ok, I'll say it.. Doom3 Sucks)   EQ II will have tons of eyecandy and will probably be popular for a while but from what I hear from the people I know in the beta testing it isn't that original.  I'm hearing good things about the starfight expansion to  Galaxies - and this is coming from someone who was completely pissed at the original game.   World of Warcraft on the other hand is probably going to ruin a lot of marriages and scholarships.     ----- Original Message ----- From: Kenneth W.

To: The Hardware List <hardware@hardwaregroup.com>       EverQuest 2 isn't that good?  I really really HOPE it isn't as I do not plan to play it, am sticking with the original EverQuest!  I have WAY too much time and money tied up into the game..   Also, on Far cry, I can't get it to run, I am using a downloaded demo of it, and when I run it, the screen just flickers like interlaced flash line sor something, and won't let me reply to the yes or no question about it being my first time running it... I have to control alt delete and kill the process to get out.     Ken           -------Original Message-------     From: The Hardware List Date: 09/27/04 02:44:41 To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: RE: [H] Ok, I'll say it.. Doom3 Sucks.   Slightly peeved at D3 myself......pre-ordered it as well and then received another copy of it free when I picked up a GF6800 last week - oh joy, 2 copies.   I found I got so far and then lost interest, not a good sign in a game afaic. I have dusted FarCry off again though, moved it up to highest difficulty and started playing it again with PS3.0 - hooked again :)   Also have been beta testing EverQuest2, another game that helps proove that sequels are rarely on par with their predecessor.   J       *******   This message and any attachment are confidential and may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.  If you are not the intended recipient, please telephone or email the sender and delete this message and any attachment from your system.  If you are not the intended recipient you must not copy this message or attachment or disclose the contents to any other person.   For further information about Clifford Chance please see our website at http://www.cliffordchance.com or refer to any Clifford Chance office.             -- Brian
