Doom 3 for Xbox was leaked to the warez scene yesterday. Its spreading rappidly via Bittorrent and IRC. The release looks to be a full version (No videos cut out).
There has been no statement on the leak from ID Software.

Doom 3 was due for official release, April 3rd.

well thats interesting, allthough i wonder how much ID had to butcher it to make it run on a lowly XBoX? Will be certainly intereting to see what it looks like?
cheers :) :)

hrm, 512mb video card suggested for full quality on PC (which didnt exist when it came out in the last year)

so since the xbox has 64mb SHARED memory, my guess is that they dropped the poly count by a power of atleast 8 for the video if not 16 (in keeping w/ base 2 mathematics)

and since the video card for the xbox is GF3/4 tech, it doesnt have (iirc) T&L (texture and lighting) shading ability; therefore it wont have any of the dymanic and 'per pixel' shading for any scenes.

so if they plan to have the same ability of 'per pixel' or scene shading, then my guess is that either they found some hack to do it or are going to do it by tradition 3d rendering methods (that take forever to do in any decent detail on software such as form-z, 3dstudio max, maya, etc) that take intense processor power and much time to render views of even the simplist polygon shapes that include shadows (either soft or hard [ray-tracing]) over multiple surfaces.
