Doom 3 BFG Releases October 16th
The enhanced re-release of Doom 3 is coming just in time for Halloween, publisher Bethesda Softworks has announced. The "BFG Edition" of id's classic FPS will be available on October 16 on PC, Xbox 360, and PS3. The console versions will retail for $40, while the PC version will be $30. BFG adds Doom 3, Resurrection of Evil, and "The Lost Mission"--all optimized in 3D, 5.1 surround sound, achievements, improved rendering and lighting, and a new checkpoint save system. There's also an armor-mounted flashlight, "allowing players to illuminate dark corners and blast enemies at the same time."
The BFG Edition also includes the original Doom and Doom 2, making it the "definitive collection" for the series. Perhaps after this release, id will be a bit more forthcoming about Doom 4.

I don't know how anyone can call this a lame ass game. Please, it's a classic. :rolleyes:
I found the graphics to be great just the rest of it is LAME! :D
AI is NOT waiting in a dark corner until the player hits the spawning tripwire, then monster jumps out and waves arms, and then players shoots. It is "exciting" for 3 minutes, then dull.
The plot of Doom 3 was: Corridor, spawn, shoot, dark corridor, flashlight, spawn, gun, shoot, corridor, spawn, shoot, corridor, spawn, shoot, dark corridor, flashlight, spawn, gun, shoot. Rinse and repeat. Yawn with or without gun-flashlight.
+++++++++++++++++++++
I'd love to see remakes of some "classics" in new engines. Just as HL, HL2 and DoD were improved with updated source engine and HDR, so would equally love (and would pay dollar) for those early ground-breakers with updated engines such as: COD, MoH, NFS:PU, SoF2, IGN2, NOLF2 etc.
BF2 ...BF2141 was just a patch or mod IMO...
ID and can shove this fair up there .....
Rage sucked big time. And carmack is a sell out...
Although Doom 1 wolfeistein and alot of other classics on a decent 3d engine would be epic.
Hell still play Dungoen keeper 1 and 2. Because they are Epic amounts of fun comparied to the steaming piles of crap they call games today.
So this is just DLC?
typical what ever happend to mods? Free Fan made DLC most mods are behing some of the biggest games today.
You don't use a Game Consoles to create spectacular generated graphics for Films/Movies, you use PC's.
The only purpose a developer chooses to design a game around a game console is complete laziness. By not creating games on there rightful platform (PC) they are indirectly killing the electronic gaming industry and its quality. IMO.
By utilizing what the PC has to offer with cutting edge technologies, it assures you the best possible outcome. Only then do you port it over to an age old game console, which then they too will benefit.
Anyhow I have DOOM 3 and it was great for it's time.
If game developers want me to pay for their games they shouldn't charge $60 for a partially finished game, then try to get me to shell out another $20-30 to get the rest of the content. They should charge me $30 for the full good game, those are the games I pay for.
In all honesty, the game never really looked that great to begin with. Games like HL2 and COD2 blew this game out of the water graphics wise. Not only that, the gameplay SUCKS. No flashlight on the guns and you just walk around in the dark listening to people talking to themselves and occasionally shoot a demon that is predictably waiting around a corner or behind a door.
I like that they are offering a flashlight on the gun and throwing in the expansion (which I never bothered with because of how horrible the base game was.) and slightly tweaking the graphics. But lets face it, it looks the same and for people who already OWN the game, its pointless. You can mod the game to run in widescreen, and have a flashlight on the guns, and to have MUCH better graphics than this "updated" version offers...ID might as well be in the same league as EA now.
Edit:
Also the game wasn't even scary for that matter. I was yawning throughout most of the game and then I stopped playing, never to return
IMHO, it makes more sense to remake Doom 1 and Doom 2 into 3D than Doom 3.. which was already in 3D.
I mean, they upped some shader effects and modded it slightly.. is that really worth pretty much the same price as the original when it came out..?
It's like adding the Energy Sword to the original Halo: Combat Evolved for the PC, calling it Halo: Energy Sword Edition and selling it for 40$.. lame.
And why are they doing this..? Because Rage sucked so they need the money to finance Doom 4.
Well fine.. I hope they get it. I want Doom 4.
Why would you pay for a game that was never good?

for me, this game is boring like hell, the graphics were nice, but gameplay so boring, really serious sam has a better gameplay than this crap
half life 2, far cry, fear, COD, area way better than doom3 and quake4
as for the remake, i am sure it will have 512x512 textures for xbox
