Doom 3[CC] (Closed Caption)!

[Vance]

As a moderator of video game community (actually I am inactive but they refuse to remove my usersame from the list), I found out from few members that there is a mod that you can install to add the subtitle/CC for Doom 3 (PC) game. I didn't test it since I didn't buy the game yet... but I know one of my friends do have one, I can borrow from him... I am able to play the Doom 3 on my computer. I will test it later whenever I have some time for it. I want to quote from Doom 3[CC] site:

We are absolutely STOKED to announce that today we have released the first full version of our Closed Caption modification for Doom 3. I'll hand over to our coding team leader, Reid Kimball, to outline the features of this release...

"Doom3[CC] is a mod that aims to close caption Doom3 so that hard of hearing and deaf gamers can enjoy Doom3 without missing the important plot details, enemy sound clues and intense atmosphere created audibly. This mod is also helpful for those who wish to learn the English language by reading what the spoken dialog says. This first initial release is an early version and while not 100% complete does provide captions for dialog, monsters and environmental ambience. Future versions will support color coding based on who is speaking and additional languages for the captions."

You can download the mod from FilePlanet here (1.93mb) and also at our official mirror site here. We will shortly be adding video footage to the site to show the captioning in use in the game. You can, of course, also check out the Modification page for information and downloads.

I would like to personally say a HUGE thank you to Reid and his team for the monumental effort they have put in to get this mod out so quickly. Unfortunately I was not able to participate much in this work due to pressures of 'real life' and it's important to me that the other guys get all the credit they deserve, in particular the following heroes:

The Doom3[CC] Development Team
David 'univbee' Anderson - Transcriber
Shawn 'DigitalClassicist' Daniels - Transcriber/Captioner
Simon 'TweakZilla' Clay - Transcriber/Captioner
Reid Kimball - Modification Lead/Captioner
Jason Sadler - Coder
Kevin Maulding - Coder

These guys gave up a HUGE amount of their free time for no compensation to give deaf and hard of hearing gamers the chance to play this fantastic game on a level playing field with the rest of us lucky gamers who have no hearing impairment and to produce one of the most worthwhile modifications ever for a game.

We firmly believe that this is one of the best examples of closed captioning ever produced in a videogame and as usual we welcome your feedback, either to myself or Reid on the work. We are currently unsure whether we will continue producing the text transcriptions of the game, as we believe that most people would prefer to use the modification. Again, your views on this are welcomed. Now GO AND PLAY THE GAME

Cool. It is very nice of them to do that. You will need to register your username, email and some information at fileplanet to be able to download the 'mod'. Be sure to pick 'Free Public Servers' to download, not other one. Anyway here's the link: http://www.planetdoom.com/doom3cc/

Be sure to send your thanks to them for their works on CC/subtitle for us, deafies or HoHs (I will).

Have a Merry Christmas!

I bought Doom 3 on PC and doesnt have CC (Doom 3 is not good for my graphic video :rl: ) so I am done with all doom 3 game then sell to ebgame and get my money. Also I am waiting for Doom3 on XBOX between Jan to April, unsure so I can playing doom 3 with CC

XBox will come with subtitle or CC? I heard the rumor that there will not included. Just a rumor unless you have the information that will tell me otherwise?

What kind of video card do you have? It works wonderful on my computer but I didn't own it... yet.

My video card sucks big time! It's more than 3 years old and I'm way overdue for a major upgrade. Heh! As soon as I get a better computer, Doom 3 will be one of the few games I will immediately get.

It's about time they finally added captions!

I've bought Doom 3 for PC also and it didn't run smootly on my computer since it freeezes alot of times and it was quite annoying.

I've heard from ID software saying that they've admitted that they've released the game too early and that there are actually afew viruses in it such as freezing, messed up graphics, miscoloring, etc...

So I decided to wait for the Xbox version and try it out since videogames rarely get viruses than computer games do. :roll:

There may still be a chance that Doom 3 would have subtitles, hopefully they do still have enough time to do that before it release on March of next year.

Hmm, I have GeForce FX 5700 - 256 mb and I am able to play this game. Strange.. but I will have to play more to see if I have any problem with this video card. I had a bad experience with ATI and hate it ever since. Fog and 3D modeling problem so I decide to buy GeForce ever since. I will post the aftermath in few days later.
