Topic: Doom 3 On Ds?

[Babyboy8100]

Hey guys i ran into this picture of Doom 3 running on the Ds, At first i thought no way because of the
graphics. you see the Graphics are real 3D and crisp, so then i thought this has to be a Photoshop
Picture? Do you guy's think it's fake or not? I've Already examined it closely zoomin in and it has a glare on the screen that it looked like it can't just be photoshop?? hopefully it is a true game for the DS it would be a nice addition to the Ds line up don't you think?Pic click here!!!

Graphics are the only thing Doom 3 had going for it, gameplay-wise you are better off painting your windowsill.

Oh and the image you supplied doesn't work for me, a Navigation Error of sorts.

I don't think it's real.

Prove me wrong creators of Doom 3.

The glare on both screens looks incredibly fake.

Unlikely, probably prerendered pictures being displayed by using some homebrew app. Doom 3 is WAAAAAAAAAAAAA[...]AAAAAAAAAAY too complex for the DS. Look at the characters there, even without normalmaps that'd kill the DS, per-pixel lighting is just the icing on the cake. I doubt you could even get Quake 3 to run on the DS.

KDR is right - this is trolling.

The Slashdot moderator guidelines define what you just posted as "trolling".

Actually I'm going to consider it a "maybe". The graphics aren't stupid Doom3 on a high-end alienware system good, we don't know what the framerate is... I ran Quake on systems with less power than the DS.

Here's a way how you would create DS/GBA fakes:

1)  Acquire suitable digital footage or images of Doom3.
2)  Transcode that footage into MP4 format for use with Play-Yan.
3)  Have the Play-Yan display the footatge/image(s) on the DS.
4)  Take pictures.  The reflections of the photographer on the DS screens helps make the photo seem legit.
5)  Do some photoshopping or use some other tricks to make the DS appear to output to both screens (since i think the play-yan won't output to both screens at once).
6)  Crop the picture in such a way that you don't show the Play-Yan is attached to the DS at the bottom (WHAT'S THAT? THE PHOTO DOESN'T SHOW THE BOTTOM OF THE DS?!  =O ).

The alternative:  use a homebrew app to display the images, as KDR stated.

This also applies to the Twighlight Princess fakes that appeared on GameFaqs a while ago.  Have some pre-rendered images created on your comp, then use built-in or external TV-output devices to display the image on a TV (or send the image from the comp to a firewire camcorder, which is displaying on a TV).  Takes pictures of the TV, then brag on the internet.  Alternatively, you can put the pre-rendered pics on a DVD or picture CD that could be display via compatible DVD players, or display via various digital cameras that come with TV-out.
