Talk:ID Timeline

What’s the problem with Doom³? It’s written like this. Ducon 15:43, 12 Mar 2005 (GMT)


 * With the &amp;sup3;? It's written "DOOM 3" on idsoftware.com and activision.com. Fredrik 15:59, 12 Mar 2005 (GMT)
 * Yup but not on the Doom³ box, er DOOM³. :-) Ducon 16:18, 12 Mar 2005 (GMT)


 * one problem is clarity. The superscript 3 is nigh-on impossible to read or distinguish from an 8, at least for me. -- Jdowland 11:22, 26 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Unrelated gamess
I can understand why keen is there, since it's important in the development of iD software, but why is quake 4 and prey mentioned at all? I was just about to remove them when i saw someone already had and that they were later readded. So, how is quake 4 and prey notable in the timeline of doom? 213.114.179.165 06:03, 13 March 2007 (UTC)


 * They use the doom 3 engine. -- Jdowland 10:29, 13 March 2007 (UTC)


 * In that case Orcs & Elves should appear on the timeline too, as they use the Doom RPG engine. Anybody know the release date for that? Zack 04:22, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

1.0 or 0.99?
http://toastytech.com/dooma/doom099.html states that the first release was officially labelled 0.99, not 1.0, and has screenshots to support that, so I've changed the timeline to reflect this. -- Jdowland 11:22, 26 Dec 2005 (UTC)

The Columbine High School Massacre occurs.
Why is this mentioned in a Doom timeline? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.114.179.184 (talk • contribs).


 * Because it was a very significant event in terms of the Doom community's relationship with the rest of the world. At least, that sentiment seems to be common amongst the wiki editors who were gaming then.  Also see Talk:Columbine High School Massacre.    Ryan W 16:23, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Heretic release date
One month after Doom's release does not sound right at all. Wasn't it closer to a year later? 129.21.137.44 02:53, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
