    Doom 3 BFG Edition



    anyone else plan to pick this up? i've got a ton of dvds and few old games i'm trading in to a local buy/sell/trade joint, and will likely use some of my trade-in on this one....played a bit on the original xbox, but never really put too much time into it as i was in a major halo-frenzy during that time.

    this includes all expansions for doom 3, plus the first two doom games, and will retail for 40 bucks. sounds like a deal to me....

    No PC?

    Can't say I was very impressed when it first came out, so it would have to be something pretty amazing for me to look at it now...

    It says PC at the end... At least there's a PC DVD-case and Wikipedia also says it'll be on PC.

    ^^ Hardly a huge difference/improvement? And besides, it was the gameplay that I found the issue, not the graphics...

    I loved Doom 3. It was an extremely fun game to play in a dark room.....but...


    Am I the only one that thinks the BFG edition looks worse than the original?....

    I'm not impressed either. But at least we can hold the gun and the flashlight at the same time this time around.

    Apparently, it's the first game with Oculus Rift support...

    And this is what Oculus Rift is.

    And that's where my money is going.

    Picked it up yesterday.

    After all these years, the game still looks and plays great. I wish they'd done more with the graphics, like Valve did with Half Life 1 when they released the High Definition Pack. Most of the models still work fine, but the textures are pretty low-res compared to todays standards and you'd think that wouldn't be that tough to improve.

    Anyway...

    It has 3D support, and damn this game will be the perfect way to try out the Oculus Rift when it arrives.
