Doom 3 BFG Edition priced and dated!!

News | June 20, 2012 1:38 am
Ah yes, PC gamers are having flashbacks and it's good! Doom 3 BFG Edition has been priced at $39.99 and is due out in the US on October 16th.

What all is in this "definitive collection?" It will include both Doom and Doom 2: Hell on Earth, good for people who didn't already buy them through Xbox Live Arcade. It also will include remastered versions of Doom 3 and Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil, complete with 3D capability, improved sound and lighting, achievements, a new checkpoint save system, and an armor mounted flashlight. The BFG collection also features seven new levels of content called "The Lost Mission," which boast the same features as the remastered Doom 3.

Not a bad collection for those gamers who first played Doom on the PC and want to take a trip down memory lane, or for those too young to have experienced one of the games that started the PC gaming craze!

I know this is thread necromancy but I just wanted to share my 2 cents.

I finally got my hands on this pre-owned from Gamestop for $17. Decent price for a decent game, but I have to say that even with the "improvements" Doom 3 has not aged well at all.

The visuals overall are fine, but there are still some janky lighting issues. The sound is good for its 5.1 performance as everything does sound very locational and there are great ambient effects and subtle but good music, but the direct sound effects from the guns and monsters are terrible. They sound far away and tinny, no punch at all.

The monsters look ok but the people character models are horrendous, and of course the multiplayer is dead.

This is still a good deal for someone that never played Doom 3 and wants a moody shooter for cheap, but if you have already played it on PC or original Xbox then there isn't enough new stuff here to warrant a purchase, even at $17, unless you just really want the XBLA versions of Doom and Doom 2.

I will say, though, that the armor-mounted flashlight was a great and worthy addition. The original game was just too fucking dark for its own good. They balance out always having one up by making its batteries drain but also recharge quickly.
