Doom 3 looks awesome, and I'm a big fan of the previous games. Is it true that there will be linux support with the initial release? Like Unreal Tournament?

Umm, I don't know if this belongs to the "games" section, but in order to answer your question: yes (AFAIK). I heard that Doom 3 went gold today. Is this true?

According to Slashdot, it did indeed go gold today. Out August 6th, or thereabouts.

As for linux support, one of the comments on that story said that it has linux support out of the box. I certainly hope so.

So, the next question is release dates. Retailers in the States will be allowed to pick up games starting at 12:01 AM on August 3rd. The official street date is actually August 5th in the U.S.A., but some of your favorite stores will probably have it early for those of you who have to have it first. Check with your local retailer for that information.

For the full scoop, check out the press release here!

And yes, doom 3 will have native linux support packaged in. ID software is the mad notes.
