The BFG Edition will feature "greatly enhanced graphics", better sound with more horror effects, a checkpoint save system, and support for 3D displays and HMDs. The game will also include the previous expansion Resurrection of Evil and a new single player expansion pack called The Lost Mission. Additionally, it will include copies of the original Doom, and Doom 2. The BFG Edition will also feature the ability to use the flashlight while holding a weapon, in the form of the so-called armor-mounted flashlight.

I loved DOOM 3 back when I played it on the OG Xbox, and I'm really looking forward to playing it through again. I seem to recall it being the atmosphere that was top-notch at the time; that claustrophobic feeling was fantastic while it lasted.

Funny enough this was a FPS that was horror, while other games when they turned FPS became less horror...

I prefer HL2's Ravenholm to D3's monster closets, thank you very much. Razz

That said, I did enjoyed the fuck out of Doom 3, wish the PC version had coop like the xbox one did. Hope the BFG one does.

Likewise Smile That and the silly reliance on a flashlight to actually see anything in Gloom 3... though it was still a good game, once you fight past the blackness rubbish.

Nope... yet another "go away you filthy PC peasant before I beat you like the soulless red-headed demon stepchild that you are" line of bullshit. Though, bizarrely, coop has been cut from the PS360 version too. It seems only the Xbox1 will ever have coop and nothing else.

It is a different style of atmosphere. When it comes to scifi mars base. It is amazing. But overall HL2 for example is vastly superior game.

There was coop mod years ago and I've played it over the lan with my pal once. Like in 2006 Razz

Current hardware can't handle the demonic awesomeness that is Doom 3's coop. Fool. Cool Face



Wasn't there a mod for that at one point -- albeit in an early stage when I was looking into it -- what ever happened to that?

Yet the Xbox1 with its glorious P3-733, 64MB of RAM and a GF3-based derivative could handle it just fine Troll Dad

You know it! Laughing


Shame though. As it is, I don't see any reason to care about the BFG ed, on any platform (though, native wide screen support would be nice on PC).

The co-op mod was released for PC and was actually pretty well made. Found really odd that Xbox got the co-op, but not PC? I mean the Xbox was basicly a PC in a box. But I suspect there was some money involved with that thru Microsoft.

Look guys, plastic, everywhere!

I wish they'd fix that instead of failing to use MegaTexture. The plastic look of Tech 4 is so butt ugly Sad
Brilliant lighting, but that really destroys any effect the lighting may have.

It's that specular lighting effect making every surface shiny and reflective but as you said it was already in the default game whereas mods like Sikkmod only further enhance it, I've no idea about the mechanics behind it but I imagine it would require a lot of work to change this and probably a bit of retexturing too.

EDIT: And PoM is not a DX11 effect.
(Certainly it is a impressive effect though - http://www.doom3world.org/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?p=242197#p242197 )

Well part of the problem is that there's only a single global specular exponent; so every surface gets treated *exactly* the same. Doesn't matter whether it's supposed to be metal, plastic, wood - it's all treated the same. I recall someone modifying it somewhat to have per-surface exponents, making it look a lot better, I'll see if I can find that later because it's an interesting comparison.

That and the lack of an Alpha channel in the textures, which would be used for that exponent. That would give it a different exponent per pixel.

Ok so got it and whats inside BFG : on the disc you get

2 Xbla unlocked games that work on retail consoles with all addons :
Doom 1
Doom 2 + Ultimate Dioom 2 Hell on Earth
1 full game with all addons :
Doom 3 + Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil + Exclusive to BFG new Expansion called Lost Mission [7 missions with story line]

each game Doom 1 , Doom 2 , Doom 3 you can pick from a custom made menu they made

Expansions for Doom 2 and Doom 3 are picked in a in-game menu, when you pick New game you can pick if you want to play from the beginning or start only the expansions

Doom 3 on xbox 360 looks ... eeehhhmmmm oixeleted low rez textures grrrrr but they upscaled those models , changed maps a little bit ... a fine example are Swans Glasses he wears on PC they are a low rez stick model with black glass in BFG they are in polygon fancy real glasses ... brightness is ULTRA SHIT FUCKED so over-bright you have to set it to 0 ... yes ZERO to have a Doom 3 look ... oh and yes flashlight is mounted on your gear not a item no more... and thats it

its all dooms in one pack for modern consoles , doom 3 looks like you would play in on a medium calligraphic setting [console problems with theirs 256 and 512 ram problems LULZ ]... next stop all Quakes for modern consoles
