Decent graphical mod for Doom 3?

Bossk128 · 18 Mar 2010 at 11:59

I fancy getting tucked in Doom 3, never played it when it was new. I see many mods are dolling it up. Are any of the graphical mods any good, and if so which make it look nicest?

All the reviews/updates I've read are pretty old.

I would also like to find out about some too, as its sat right here waiting for me.

Decent Doom 3 for the graphics more like!

Just make sure you've got a few changes of underwear...

I get "Incorrect API" meassage at the loading screen with this mod.

Any ideas?

Tute · 18 Mar 2010 at 22:39

Improved graphics?

I still consider them pretty damn good even by today's standards.

You've waited so long Doom 4 is on the horizon, best graphics mod of all :cool:

Either the screenshots are just really bad quality but that actually looks worse then normal doom 3 lol. The floor texture looks so out of place they might as well put sand there with a little pool in as well

Personally I thoroughly enjoyed Doom 3. I thought the atmosphere was great, the weapons enormously fun, and the enclosed space made a great change (going back to the old school!).

The expansion wasn't so great, but still worth a play through.

Can't wait for Doom 4!

It looks much better in game.

Also if you like Doom 3 you want this:

The entire 'Knee Deep in the Dead' Classic Doom chapter rebuilt in Doom3, and it is sweeeeeetah.

Thanks for the tips, will install at the weekend. I agree the graphics still do look good, but there's no harm in a bit of additional (tasteful!) eye candy.

Play it without mods if you've not played it yet!

If you must mod it get the one that puts the flashlight on the guns.

Nice thread timing, i was just abut to start playing Doom 3 through again. Is there any more information on the GTX mod? the webpage is pretty sparse.

The Classic Doom mod that HeX posted is awesome, well worth playing.

I love you.

There should be a rep system on these forums - you sir would get a lot of it.

That takes too much suspense out of the game later on if you do that!

Pack it in, or you get a hug too.

The classic mod is a good one, made a nice change from the feel of doom3 - which I still thought was a good game, just not a game made the way I was expecting.
