    I want to know if I can convert a PC game, such as Doom 3, and make it compatable with a console system, like Xbox?

    Hi,

    Unless you can reverse engineer the Xbox format and code Doom 3 properly to work on it I don't think so :)

    For Doom 3, unless you are in ID software, that is a No.

    I kinda question the utility of it. The graphics would be terrible and FP shooters would be a nightmare to play on a console controller.

    I thought Doom3 was going to be available for the XBOX? Not this year though..

    Yep it is. But let's say ID did a straight port of Doom 3 PC version to Doom 3 XBOX version, I doubt XBOX would run it very well. I don't think you can even do a straight port. After all, you can't really compare a console to a PC.

    Yeah and the minimum requirments are at least a 1 gig CPU.. I have a 3.2 ghz and a decent video card and it still gives my system a workout.. I personally think the doom3 port might be dissapointing. I hope not though..

    The loading times are super duper long, but I get 50-60 FPS with a X800 card and that's using the 4.7 Catalyst drivers without any graphic tweaks.

    With the 4.9, it's probably 60 always.

    I think the XBOX would handle it at about 40 fps constant but obviously, with much lower quality graphics.

    How do you make a game on th X-Box or PS2?
    Is there some type of 3D x-box gamemaker?

    PS2 and XBOX both have game making kits (They didn't make a lot, so it's going to be hard to find) that you can either buy from a shop or from someone you know. Apart from that, the only easy way to get it is to buy from Sony/MS Online.
