Doom 3 - BFG edition

I'd have waited but I only played a bit of the version I have and got annoyed by the widescreen resetting on the addon and the resultion bugging out in the config file. I felt lighting could be improved too. I just like that I can run 2560x1600 16:10 perfectly now with plenty of AA. Massively worth the upgrade.

Is there going to be an option for people who already own it on steam to "upgrade" to the BFG edition.

I already own them and paying in full for slightly better graphics and 8 extra levels seems unfair.

Yes, if you have Doom 3 in your Steam list of games already you get the game for £13.33 - great but I've got Doom 3 retail and its a git to get running in widescreen as I too find the settings just seem to overwrite, despite following quite a few guides..

so, guess no discount for those owners - oh well..
 
Hmm, does seem a bit mental buying this on PC, the original can be modded to the extent of this version, and beyond.
Unless you don't already have Doom 1/2/3 then the price isn't bad.

I can understand it for consoles.

yes but what a lot of people wont tell you is yes you can mod it and tweak it more with older version but it doesn't run as well or have as many issues with things on older version.


if you want to play the game the best this version is the best i know i have two copies of the original disk set on my desk :D tried every mod going

as said earlier once mods are made to run with this version it will be awesome


nice discussion on steam forums with proof that things are better than people thought http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2973683

this new hi res game is a joke, DOOM 3 has had HI RES texture mods for about 4 years :cool:

they're just trying to put the game back on the map ready for DOOM 4, you'd be better off modding your original game, plus getting new weapon mods too, the original guns in DOOM 3 are useless compared to the mods.
 
Hmmm sounding like I'm gonna avoid this then although my heart wants to buy it now just because it's Doom.

Poor show by id if the above comments are accurate.
 
it isnt true that's the funny thing it play better than the original it looks better than the original not as many issues as original with newer hardware then people say its same old doom :p

then people wonder why devs are just popping out ports . pc is its own worst enemy
 
I received my copy yesterday and I've been enjoying it thoroughly. It seems to run at a much smoother framerate than the original release, having your flash light attached to your armour so you can keep gun in hand at the same time makes much more sense for gameplay.

For the price bundled with the originals I'm happy.

It's just an up to date re-release to get us hyped for DOOM 4, that's all it is, and I am hyped.
 
I'm bound to buy it as soon as I get home anyway!

Was planning on playing through them all in order. Would I just be better off getting the collection and hi-res packs for D3?

I've tried to install these mods but when I run the game I get a white screen.
I can see my crosshair and health bar but nothing else.
Any ideas?

Same.. I never did get the mods to play fair with me, I never seemed to get he widescreen hack to work well either..

To be honest, I might pick this up in a sale.. I'm more tempted by "sleeping dogs" for £14.99 on Steam at the moment..

some tweaks some may find useful

seta com_allowConsole "1" alter in base file default cfg

fov change is g_fov 80 or seta g_fov then value in cfg

to disable intro movies go straight to game com_skipintrovideos 1
g_showHud 0 to disable hud

r_gamma then value



seta r_brightness "1.2"
seta r_lightscale "2.6"
