Bethesda announces Doom 3 BFG Edition; features reworked versions of Doom 3, bundled with Doom 1 & 2 | DSOGaming | The Dark Side Of Gaming

Bethesda Softworks, a ZeniMax Media company, today announced that DOOM 3 BFG Edition will be available this Autumn and features DOOM 3 and the Resurrection of Evil add-on pack, both of which have been completely re-mastered. The package also includes hours of new content – seven new levels entitled ‘The Lost Mission’. DOOM 3 BFG Edition is slated for release for X360, PC and PS3 – making it the first time any DOOM game has ever appeared on the PlayStation 3.

Re-mastered for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, this genre defining game and its add-on pack offers greatly enhanced graphics, deeply immersing the player in the demonic world of this terrifying horror masterpiece. Players will also experience a never-before-seen single-player story, ‘The Lost Mission’ featuring seven heart-pounding levels that will once again have them on the edge of their seats. Of course those re-mastered versions won’t be as good as the PC modded one, but we guess you already knew that.

DOOM 3, Resurrection of Evil, and ‘The Lost Mission’have been optimized in 3D, featuring 5.1 surround sound, Xbox 360 Achievements, PlayStation 3 trophies, improved rendering and lighting, and a new check point save system allowing for smoother progression through the game. id Software has fine-tuned the controls to bring the intensity of the DOOM single and multiplayer experience to the consoles, and DOOM 3 now features the new armour-mounted flashlight, allowing players to illuminate dark corners and blast enemies at the same time.

John Carmack, Technical Director at id Software said:

“DOOM 3 was enthusiastically embraced by gamers worldwide at its release. Today, the full experience has been enhanced and extended to be better than ever, and is delivered across all the platforms with a silky smooth frame rate and highly responsive controls. New support for 3D TVs, monitors, and head mounted displays also allows players to experience the game with more depth than ever before. We think shooter fans everywhere will love it.”

As a special bonus, DOOM 3 BFG Edition will also include the original DOOM and DOOM 2 games, making it the definitive collection of the revolutionary games developed by id Software, the studio that pioneered the first-person shooter genre.
 
Wow desperate to claw some money back they lost on Rage.

I can't really see what they're enhancing other than 3D support and 'head mounted' monitors? Plus some extra levels they made on the Doom editor.

Most other games just get those built into the drivers or as a free patch, they don't release them as repackaged games!

ID you really suck now.

ID you really suck now.

And theyve put a flashlight on his armour :laugh:, i'll buy it but only if/when its cheap, fancied a shooter like doom for a while now but i agree id have lost their once legendary status in my eyes
 
Doom 3 sucked.

New levels wont improve that.

At least all the little kiddies can play it now, not having to worry about pesky things like flashlight/weapon swaps, and having a flashlight on the armour, and the new save system will let the youth of today wallow in it's mediocrity. :rotfl::rotfl:
