Even by today's standards it's still an impressive game.
Damn straight. It has great shooting that requires thought, a health system that doesn't make you cry in a corner until you cut is feeling better, and it has amazing lip syncing. I know lip syncing shouldn't prove a game's worth, but so many games are still getting this wrong.
+Noah Downs *cough cough* fallout *cough cough* haha
+DaytonCarCare The original Doom too.
Except doom 2016.
It's an incredibly impressive game on a technical level...but it's incredibly bland in terms of gameplay, story, voice acting, and etc. It was basically just a means through which John Carmack could showcase his latest technical achievements. Without the design innovation and focus on actual gameplay that John Romero brought to the Doom franchise, which perfectly complimented Carmack's programming, Doom 3 just ends up being a blah experience overall. Pretty to look at...but not a lot beyond that.
One of the things I liked about the original Doom games was how the enemies dead bodies would not disappear so there was an ever increasing build up of dead bodies all over the map. In Doom 3 the bodies burn up and vanish which I didn't think was as good.
***** They had to do it. High polygon count would fuck up the performance. Doom 3 was already high demanding in its time
yeah first time i play it on Xbox ow hell the damn graphics has never made before the modern COD FPS has arrived.
+Joao Machado true
Plus it makes it feel more realistic
+Clarence Boddicker I agree, I think there's a mod for this now, luckily. I noticed that too :)
Never a good idea to take on two Hell Knights with a chainsaw.
n00b! :D
It's not just a good idea. It's the best idea. :P
FUCK YOU WEEBS
@Beast Of Beasts he is one of that stupids
Hates Weebs For Yes is a Guy
Just that
@@halkdwarf5481 No, no he's got a point.
This guy is talking like he's held at gunpoint.....
Where is "gunpoint"?
Maybe worse than that; he's held at gunpoint and the gun is bfg
By Doom guy
Professional TH-camrs usually come up with a script or at least at outline with a rough idea of what they're gonna say before they film it. Online game magazine editors tend to throw stuff together a lot more quickly since they're on the clock and likely don't get paid per view.
Omg 🤣🤣🤣
original seems more atmospheric
it really does
But not very Doom
Doom 3 was great but bfg was easier to play.
Its just darker
2004: Doom 3 is released. "OMG, this game takes place in the future and they don't even have flashlights on the guns, waaaaahhh!"
2012: Doom 3 BFG edition is released. "OMG, you don't have to switch to your flashlight all the time now? WAAAAHHHH!"
Make up your fucking minds!
lol
Lmao
It was just a game mechanic to make the gameplay more intense and frightening. Chill lol!
I’d say it did it’s job well upon original release.
🤣
The problem here is thinking of the people whose opinions you read as one group, the same group of people between both time periods. I doubt that the number of people in both camps has much overlap at all. Of course there will be what look like contradictions in the sphere of culture, because everyone's different and it's always a different voice being amplified at different times. It's a whole system and a lot of people oversimplify it to the point of derailing a potentially valuable discussion with fallacy.
In other words, "group of Doom fans I read from 2004" is not going to be the same group of people as "group of Doom fans I read from 2012." Not only are these different time periods, but people come and go within the sphere of current discussion; new fans hop aboard while others fall off. New entries into the series change peoples' perspectives on older entries, such as Doom 3 vs Doom 2016. The entire context of the discussion is constantly shifting while the people talking about it are constantly growing and changing themselves. There's just too many factors involved to simplify it to such an extreme degree. I don't mean to call out this comment alone, but rather criticize this style of thinking in general. No hate, it's easy to fall into these things when everyone around you is doing it too.
Collectivism is a heck of a weird lens to look at the world through. It's what leads to this kind of thinking, and to thinking things like "oh, you like x media franchise? You MUST have xyz political and cultural opinions too, you racist!" (meanwhile the joke's on them, because racism is a form of collectivism, ie assuming members of the same race have the same personality traits or opinions as one another, when in reality - duh! - each person has a different story; so they are acting as the very thing they are attempting to project onto people they think they hate)
I still like the original Doom 3 more for the reasons you mentioned. Knowing the right time to take your flashlight out actually made it more tense for me. It feels more like a proper horror experience especially with the higher darkness.
I never liked having the light on all the time, that wasn't the point. Having to switch made it great, I remember playing this game first time on the original Xbox, around 11 pm and sweating all the time, when the rest of my family went to bed, looking over my shoulder every 10 minutes.
I played it like four times I think.
Few games I have enjoyed so much as Doom 3.
The new Doom pays a look of homage to Doom 3 in regards of level design.
+Name Holder Nope I don't give a shit for this fanatic BS, I like both of them.
doom 2016 doesnt play like an old school doom. doom3 was a lot more like original doom than d2016 was. granted its more combat oriented in the 2016 version, but its full of new school game mechanics everywhere.
d2016 is full of screwups everywhere. all the upgrading shit etc. currency, crystals etc. its all newschool stuff that doom didnt have.
Tried Eternal?
@@austintaylor240 not playing anymore.
@@pepe6666 wow man, you're an absolute fuckup if you think games should stay never change the original formula
Doom 3: BFG has increased textures and resolution, brighter lights and darker shadows... The contrast is what confuses you, tbh I only miss having to choose between See or Kill. Sad that they removed that feature in the BFG edition
Okay looks like I'll pick up the game now, but why does the reviewer sound so unsure of himself? This sounds kinda one take. I don't know, I like it I guess.
+Nightfire734 I bought the BFG Edition a couple months ago. Haven't looked back since. The only issues is that you can't mod it very well this goes for Doom 1 & 2. So if you wanted to install the Brutal Doom mod then you'll have to buy Doom 1 & 2 separately :(
I would recommend buying a good old version of Doom 3 on Steam, btw it's a way cheaper than the BFG, and then modify it with the Sikkmod 1.2. The game looks awesome with the Sikkmod... the BFG can't compete with it really. It's kind of funny that the guy who made the Sikkmod did a better job for free than 100 people at id Software for money.
I wish I had a better computer now that you've said that but I'm alright with the BFG graphics
I love bfg edition
@@andrasnagy2344 bfg edition is for babies
@@AJ-po6up ooo, big boy alert
Sikkmod is the equivalent of those GTA San Andreas mods that just make everything look wet.
I prefer the flashlight/gun management in the original Doom 3. It helped keep the tension higher as to whether to venture into the darkness with your gun pulled out or sacrifice your defense for a better view of your surroundings with the flashlight.
The Vanilla is way better. Set the flash light mechanic to the right mouse click and it's the best feeling ever. Fuck the textures, shadows are more important, and to top it all off you can easily run Doom 3 Vanilla at 1920x1080 with a .ini file tweak that takes 30 seconds. BFG edition. More like BFE, Big Fail Edition.
HybridEnergy Let Me fix that last bit for Ya: BFF Edition = Big Fucking Fail Edition. There you Go.
TheRevenant 360
lol
+HybridEnergy Why do you guys all hate BFG edition so much? Like did you ever play Doom 1 and 2? The games were LITERALLY what Doom 3 should have been. Run around, shoot shit, advance. Not "Run around, shoot some things, pull out your flashlight, oh shit an enemy, pull out your gun, shoot, pull out flashlight, oh shit he's not dead, pull out gun, shoot, pull out flashlight, oh he's dead, oh shit, another enemy, pull out gun, rinse, repeat". Every classic Doom player wanted what BFG has to offer; a return to the origins of Doom.
The game's graphics still look good today. And I can play it on my frickin android!!
I like this guy, sounds so down to earth and casual.
In Doom 3 shadows are just black. There is no indirect (ambient) light. You could stand in a bright room and shadows would still just be black. It looks to me that they just put more light sources in each level to make it look brighter, and still shadows are still just black. Maybe that was a design choice back then or a technical limitation, but this doesn't look good today.
FarCry and Half Life 2 had a way better shadows and graphics generally.
Who else bought Doom 3 BFG edition for Doom and Doom 2?
+Jaime M. Guzman I'm getting it this month, and I bought it because it has every game up to date, with the exception of Doom RPG & Final doom. Is "The Lost Mission" any good?
+Author/Writer Stephanie Jackson I haven't gotten that far really. My laptop is lagging the game so I haven't been able to play.
+Jaime M. Guzman I played the 1st edition years ago after playing Wolfenstein 3D. And of course had to upgrade my system to run it. But it was worth it. In fact I still have the Doom3 game with original box etc... I like to reload it every time I'm testing a PC or get another one. Just to remind me how good it really was back then compared to modern game graphics.
+Jaime M. Guzman If you only wanted that then you were better off getting the Doom Classic Collection for a fraction of the price.
+Jaime M. Guzman I did.They fucked up a bit graphic wise.Distant objects where blurred and that pissed me off so i installed doom3 and put in a few graphic mods and it looks better than the bfg edition.Plus i used to run a lot of mods with doom 3 so the bfg edition is a no go for me, except the old games doom 1 and 2 which I enjoy a lot.
I wish more people did some research into understanding the reasons why developers had to make the decisions they did. The textures in Doom 3 aren't high res, even for 2004 there were textures in games with much higher resolution. Same story with Rage, the textures are almost the same resolution (by default) as Doom 3 textures. Everyone needs to understand that John Carmack designed the respective engines for these games (idTech 4 and idTech 5) YEARS before the technology existed to be able to perform the tasks he was writing. These games don't have the most high res textures but Doom 3 was unbelievably advanced for 2004, and even with Rage's shortcomings in the texture department, idTech 5 was easily the most advanced graphics engine of it's time. What Carmack did with shadows, and proving the concept of megatexturing, and the way he handled storing and reading texture caches and real time shadows and lighting both unified for all objects in the scene is just mind blowing to me. I can't believe people can bash these games. I urge people to do a little research on game engines in general and then read up on the breakthroughs of idTech 4 and 5 and now, currently idTech 6. The technology being unveiled in these new generations of engines should really blow your minds, you shouldn't be picking fuzzy textures to complain about. You were lucky if you had a PC that could run Doom 3 at 60fps when it came out, but my medium end PC could run Rage at 120FPS maxed out with no issues, considering the jump in optimization that required to go from a game like Doom 3 to a game like Rage, that impresses me more than how clear the textures are. I can make minecraft look like real life by downloading a photo realism texture pack with 1024x1024 textures but that says nothing about the engine. Textures aren't everything when you talk about the graphics of a game engine, the other technology Carmack introduced paved the way for us to have all the games that you guys play and embrace for looking so damn good just keep that in mind.
I always thought doom 3 was a gorgeous game and is unmatched in feel in its genre. lighting and sound is on point with how amazing the creatures look.
No one cares. The game either works or it doesn't.
The framerate issue may have been fixed, but I think the darkness of the game was what the game was based on. For example, the enemies give off glow. Other than some monsters, they all give off glow to show a sense of where the enemy may be. The flashlight being attached doesn't really give that rushed feeling of when you have to get your weapon out, but instead makes you feel more relaxed, as the flashlight handheald gives you limitations of your vision to frighten you. Just my opinion.
People get paid to produce videos like this?
DOOM 3 was sopose to be dark :/
Why make an action game dark?
It took a more horror side of action
I love dark, most action games aren't dark enough.
***** I agree with what you said, but people are also forgetting. The flashlight is an OPTION. If you don't like the shoulder flashlight, why use it at all? Problem solved! ;)
***** Maybe I am missing something in your comment, but you CAN, in fact, turn the flashlight on and off at will by pressing the F key; also, when you do turn it on, it drains slowly, and will eventually go out on its own, unless you shut it off yourself by pressing F again.
My beef with the BFG edition is that it made the game much more easier. Ammo reserves are doubled, and ammo wasn't really a problem in OG Doom 3 in the first place.
"You couldn't have your flashlight out at the same time as your gun. Some people thought that was a feature. And honestly it totally is"
And that's why The ductape mod was some widely popular... Because people just hate the idea of having your flashlight on with your shotgun.
and some people like chicken nuggets and walmart. the point to doom3 was a horror game. The fact that you had to be weaponless while walking around corners etc, dramatically increased the tension and immersion. it was a terrific idea that lots of people enjoyed. if someone likes to use the ducktape mod, that's fine, but all they are really doing is making it easier and less scary more walmart.
Matt Black I remember when doom 3 was super popular because it was fairly new (I think I was like 9 or something) "Ah it's a great game blah blah blah, but I use the lighting cheat to see all the detail" or "yeah I got the ductape mod" Honestly doesn't that tell you that A LOT of people wanted to see the work that the devs put into the game?? Now of course there are people who loved the idea of not having your weapon out with your flashlight, I can't deny that and I won't.
Tbh I like how the flashlight is a separate weapon from the guns. It adds to the complexity of the game mechanics and the horror aesthetic. It’s really not much trouble at all to switch back and forth when you need to.
Woah guys come on, BFG was not as scary but still very enjoyable. Not to mention it came with both expansions, Doom Ultimate, and Doom II. For $20(now) I really have NOTHING to complain about.
Worst narration. Gamespot: 0.5/10
I actually really liked the narrator. He feels real.
+Mitchell Stallard worst comment 0000000000000.1/10
Too much shadow-y unsure dialog - 7.8/10
good joke jack
One of the things I didn't like on DooM 3 was the flashlight being a separate tool. You either choose to see and don't fight or you choose to not see and fight. I didn't liked that!
It was very unrealistic the time that the game is set on weapons not having flashlights.
I'm pleased that that was corrected!
Anyway, I've played extensively the BFG Edition and I must admit the game is good as it is now! So what if there's less dark corners, the game's still awesome!
He sounds surprised about the script he theoretically wrote for this.
Oh no the people complains about there is no flash light in doom 3 but they complain about the flashlight of the bfg edition
What we have to do?
RIP AND TEAR ALL OF THEM
3:26 I've always shot that guy, when playing a new game.
:)
bfg edition is the worst when it saves cause that big ass saving bar is immersion breaking in the oog doom 3 didnt have that and a mounted flashlight was pretty stupid in bfg having to choose your flashlight between your gun is much better it makes the game tense
Did they add the Super Shotgun to BFG Edition? If not, they should have. No weapon in FPS history tops a good old double-barrel!
Still playing them, still loving them : Doom 1, 2, 3
I play the Xbox-Version on my Xbox 360.
After seeing this video, i still don't see why i would buy the BFG.
I remember playing this on my pc back in 2005 and being scared shitless.
OH MY GOD ALL HE FUCKING TALKS ABOUT ARE SHADOWS
I KNOW, RIGHT?
You can make it widescreen, but only at console or config files.
` + lctrl + lalt
Seta r_customheight "1080"
Seta r_customwidth "1920"
Seta r_aspectratio "1"

It's crazy that it supports every format, if you set aspectratio 2 is for 16:10 and 15:9
wow, 5 minutes of saying nothing :/
I like the original doom 3
the scary thing about doom 3 (original) is that you can't use gun and flashlight at the same time, so if there's a monster in the dark you have to use the flashlight to see the enermies and then "spray and pray", or should I say shooting blind. That's much more scary. Remaster sucks...
Pham Viet Long Or with the duct tape mod you get the perfect balance, sticks a light to the shotgun and machine gun (but the light has a very narrow focus). That way, early game retains the suspense, and you have an option for seeing with firepower while still having to juggle a bit with heavier weapons
+Pham Viet Long Or you could just do like I do when playing vanilla DooM 3 and use the flashlight to have a perfect laugh beating the zombies with it like a mall cop. That was always hilariously fun to me. I'm a South Park fan, so every time I did hit them with the light I'd whisper to myself "That's a BAD Mr. Kitty," and giggle like a fucking child. I'd laugh my balls off EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. (By the way, I'm not Stephanie Jackson, I'm her son on her youtube account by accident and I'm too lazy to switch accounts.)
Why do you have to use flashlight AT ALL? Why not just view the monsters as silhouettes against the lit backgrounds? Or if it's totally dark, then their last visible position?
Pham Viet Long lol go play resident evil 1-4 if looking for a scary game with shooting and managing items. Doom has never been about this and this why they completely started over with a new series on the new game. That's what doom is about not this shitty doom 3 game.
Foebane72 Because some parts really were pitch black. One of my fondest "oh shit" moments from the original was in the section where there are no lights at all except for the occasional test tube that would move through the area. An Imp spawned in so I looked at it with the flashlight and switched to the machine gun. I started firing at the darkness where I last saw it, when suddenly the muzzle flashes would light up the Imp right in front of my face. It was a terrifying moment and it's what made the original Doom 3 so fucking badass.
The real purpose was to collect every doom game so far into one complete package.
Adding the lost mission chapter and cleaning up some stuff in doom 3 was so it just wasn't a port not optimized for the current gen systems.
Doom 4 is coming on the the One and PS4, this was so people could play them before like I said.
It has been 7 years. My god.
This is poor Doom installation, every decent PC gamer plays Doom 3 with Absolute HD mod.
They listened to dumb gamers who complained about the flashlight.
Honestly, it could have worked. The flashlight charge should have drained fast and charged slow. That ONE thing would have improved things GREATLY.
@@jesuszamora6949 Good point! slowly charging could lead to interesting tense situations.
@@jesuszamora6949 Like Half Life 2
@@SolidRaiden2655 I mean, shit, they already have the health stations from HL1 and the expansion brought the Gravity Gun from 2, so why not?
Your know, i wish there were batteries to pick up for the flashlight... That will be more fun.
that, and the flashlight was a great last resort weapon.
The new flash light system and over all higher brightness spoiled it alot... It's still a good game but I'm glad I played the first release years ago when it first came out. The Resurrection of evil environment suit being completely missing as well was kind of random and pointless as well, it turned a risky area where you could suffocate into a casual jog where you could just take as long as you wanted.
It's still a great game and I enjoyed playing it, but I seem to recall the original release having better atmosphere and shadow effects... for example you could enable your own character to cast shadows in the original but I don't see that in this version, so apart from the widescreen it feels like a step backwards and a lazy port for the sake of getting an old game onto PS3 etc.
Probably just "back in my day" nostalgia but that's my opinion anyway. :)
I disagree that brightness spoiled it. In the original D3 lights worked stupidly like having a lamp in your room but it only casts dim light like half a feet around it and beyond that everything is pitch black.
I for one loved coming around a corner and bashing zombies in the head with my flashlight in panic, and then having to fight in the dark. That was a great feature. I liked that my flashlight wasn't that bright either, it always kept you guessing what could be lurking in the shadows just outside of where your flashlight could illuminate. Unique lighting is a huge part of what makes Doom. Always has been.
you shouldn't buy the same game twice... you said you already have it on steam. So play it.
***** yes it does and doom and doom 2 packaged with it!
The BFG edition is meant to be played in 3D, it's also much darker that way. And removing the environment suit was a great choice, it always bothered me with the muffled sound and being just plain stupid since you walk around on Mars with bare arms anyway. Also 3D is awesome.
The reason most people are complaining is that the armour mounted flash light doesn't cast shadows, which added to the general atmosphere of the game.
I really enjoyed this video, it was not only a graphical comparison, but also a trip back to the day when this came out. Really good, keep up this good work!
I don't "hate" doom 3, I just think it took away everything I personally loved about Dooms 1 + 2. I loved the pixelated, low-res graphics of the older doom, and the fact that it basically had no storyline or interaction with any other humans. It was just " GO IN AND BLOW THE SHLIT OUT OF EVERYTHING AND WIN". Although Doom 3 still kicks ass. :)
Yep, I never thought of using chainsaw on the big guys.
I'm looking to get into the Doom series. I've never played them before. This seems like a great deal since it includes all of them. I don't think I care too much about the changes. I don't have any expectations so it's all the same to me.
Se veía mejor en el DOOM3 de 2004.. Y ojalá sigan manteniendo la linterna individual, eso fue espectacular, escalofriante y único de DOOM
This collection was mainly made for console owners who didn't get the full version of DOOM3. Plus, it's nice having all the DOOM games in one set.
First of all, don't tell me to subscribe when the video hasn't started. Secondly, if this isn't a review, then why was this video the first to show up when I searched "Doom 3 BFG review?" I'm guessing "review" is a tag on this video. Don't get me wrong. I clicked on this video knowing it's not a review, but that doesn't change my argument.
Damn calm down
I could never get into Doom 3 like others have. I always thought it was a bad/confusing game, but looking back I guess it's because I only have the Xbox version. Not the BFG for 360, the vanilla one for the original Xbox. No shoulder mounted flashlight (and I believe the one you got could only be used for so long before dying), no mods, scarce firearms, gamepad controls, ridiculously dark rooms that always threw me off, all running at a smooth 15fps.
I'm going for Doom 3 BFG Edition.
Main diffrence between vanilla and BFG editions is engine architecture. Vanilla was created at the dusk of single thread engines. BFG adopted some later id Software engine solutions to make doom 3 engine heavly multithreaded, especially renderer. In a result some features were possible without performance/visuals giv-and-takes.
This guy is a terrible voice over choice.
he sounds like he has a gun pointed at his head
i mean you are
I'm about 8 hrs into Doom 3 and it's easily one of my favorite games of all time
Jesus if they have people with voices like this be allowed to become video game reviewers, then I have a lot to look forward to in my future.
I've honestly never played the original Doom 3. But, to make up for that, I saw the BFG edition (Xbox 360) in Gamestop, and thought, "why not?"
Well, I know that the original Doom 3 was way scarier, but to make up for this, I do sone things that help make it scarier. I usually lower the entire brightness settings down. Funny thing: you can still see perfectly fine, it just adds to it. And...... Well, thats pretty much it, besides from playing in the dark.
B.F.G BETTER FUCKING GRAPHICS xD JK
Do people really like having to pull out the flashlight every 5 seconds and not being able to see what they're shooting at? I love Doom but I found that pretty annoying.
it made it more scary
you're a lazy idiot.
***** Human bean juice.
1) High DPI mouses are more accurate - Better for FPS games.
2) Higher player count POTENTIAL - it's an OPTION. Just because YOU personally don't like the chaos and hecticness of a 64 or 128 player fight does not mean that EVERYBODY hates it. I personally love a high-player battle/fight but i at least understand that not everybody does.
I choose Doom 3 BFG Edition
Well, I know that Version 1.3.1 certainly turned things way up, since I think that was the version required to run the Classic Doom 3 mod (the Knee Deep in the Dead remake). And I did notice the difference in the main storyline when I had that patch.
Doom, Wolfenstein and half-life where the last of the great shooters ever made! Then cod after cod comes out and ruined all these great innovation shooters we used to play AND KILLS iT!!! Cod needs to freaking go away Damn it!!! Even bf is getting freakin old sick of world War games!!! Oh and the pull back, take cover to regenerate is for newbs.. bring back the health packs Damn it!!! Damn u cod, bf and halo!!!
play Spec Ops:The Line (don't you DARE...to compare it to CoD)
well ...
wolfenstein the new order is actually really good
same goes for sof 1 and 2 .. ( soldier of fortune) they are 2 overlocked good games.
gory ass all hell tho.. heck, soldier of fortune 1 was the most gory game when it came out.
but if you want a good game, you should download brutal doom. it is fun and really good.. it`s also pretty challanging
just play some sourcemods like underhell and games like FEAR and STALKER.
Much better than hl2 and wolfeinstein. Spec ops the line isn't fps and the story is pretentious.
Halo is a good game series, so shut up.
I didn't get the chance to play Doom 3 the original, around that time i don't own the xbox. So after ten years when i heard there is remake of Doom 3. I wanted to get that game. A week ago, I've got Doom 3 BFG Edition. Play it and have beating it. My thoughts of the game is...Awesome!
bassically they just added motion blur and bloom and resold the game
KodackOfficial I don't get motion blur, I genuinely don't like it that much. ENSLAVED is great, you can turn it off
HabaNero3 yeah motion blur is not for everyone, thats why i didnt include it in my graphics mod, you can check it out here doom3.gamebanana.com/gamefiles/4069 its one of the only graphics mods that keeps doom 3 dark (Even darker actually) and bloodier etc it should look close to the original game but with very much improved graphics and sound and textures and a whole lot of things, its practically a total conversion.
now all i need is to get doom 3
Just finished the BFG edition on the Xbox one X in 4K last night in 8 hrs and god does it look great in 4K. This game holds up extremely well still to this day.
I was surprisingly scared at some parts too, and that’s saying a lot since I’ve played just about every horror game and have become numb to the fear horror games intend to give. I actually had to take a break every hour because the stress and tension would become too much. But, there were fearless moments where you feel like a complete badass with DOOM SLAYER vibes and would just be scrolling through your arsenal of weapons and fucking shit up. They don’t make shit like this anymore. I really wish they would continue with the DOOM franchise in a horror light, though I enjoy the DOOM SLAYER games too.
So much nostalgia from back when I was a kid playing through the campaign in co-op on the original Xbox. It was another good final run for me, 10+ years from when I last played it!
I have read many comments about how Doom 3 was in the horror genre, but 1 and 2 weren't. All I know is that when I bought ultimate doom for my playstation all those years ago and hooked it up to my surround system it was horror. I loved it because it made me jump since I could hear the monsters and demons creeping about and behind me. I mean when you out into a room with bloody pentagrams with demons out to kill you how else do you describe it? It wasn't always dark, but I loved the game. I never bought Doom 3 and after watching the movie I made my mind up because I was so ready to see marines fighting demons from hell and I got damned bioshit. Now as I browse considering purchasing vanilla doom 3 or the bfg edition I read that indeed there were demons and hell was about. Now I just have to figure out what to get. I hear about some flashlight change that ruins the atmosphere. I would really appreciate a heads up from some of you guys.
Get BFG, with that you get all the expansion packs. Besides if you get Doom 3 (2004) you'll end up downloading the ductape mod.
thejonathan130 Thanks mate!
Konichi Wawa No problem
Doom was horror when it came out. It was focused heavily on run n' gun action though, not slinking through shadowy hallways (they did have a little of that).
I think that's only because the technology wasn't there to make it so scary, but nevertheless, it was action over scares.
Doom 3 is pretty different in tone. It's fine by me, and I liked Doom 3, but I really would like to see a new Doom with the classic style. A fuckton of monsters, fast paced, confusing levels, little story, shitloads of explostions and action...
anonamatron Michael Bay's Doom 4?
Hey, I have a problem with Doom 3 original version...I've installed it and it runs but when I start a new game and chose which difficulty I want, it takes me to a loading screen and as soon the loading is done it takes me back to the main menu and not to the actually game, this happens every time I do it. The spec of my computer meets the requirements easily. I've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling, but nothing. Any help?
Narrator on this video is absolutely terrible.
Doom BFG is hands down the best HD remaster I've played, and I've played A LOT of them.
Who the fuck is this guy...
I recently bought Doom 3 BFG Edition and it came with Doom 1 and Doom all for $9.89 at Gamestop. All the Doom games look amazing on Xbox Series X 😎🤘🏽🎮
Real improvement it works on windows 7.
It runs fine for me on windows 7
Doom 3 always worked for me on Win7. Whatchu talking about?
Gunner193 Well it didn't work for mine...
soul taker What version is yours? Mine's the latest as per Steam's usual "install the latest update" policy.
still staying with D3(orginal) if you play it on 2018 you wont regret this awesome game is better than many games of the actual consoles.
For all those who don't know
BFG doesn't mean Big Fucking Gun.
***** The BFG is a pretty big fucking gun though.
Yes we know, but everyone calls it the Big Fucking Gun anyways.
Originally, it actually did stand for BFG, the in-game description said 'we would tell you, but this is a family game', and i doubt they had Bio Force Gun in mind.
It was only later in the movie when they figured they should make it stand for something practical.
It does, and shut up!
"The abbreviation BFG stands for "Big Fucking Gun" as described in Tom Hall's original Doom design document and in the user manual "
Who on earth listens to the Motion picture's version when the game came first, call yourself a gamer? GTFO.
Actually, the first 3 or 4 CoD games used id's "Return to Castle Wolfenstein" engine, so a few CoD games would've already been out by the time Doom 3 came out. Just a slight correction.
The CoD franchise still would've never come about without id either way.
We all know something, BFG edition ruined everything. I liked Doom 3 how it was. This is just my opinion, though so say your opinion if you have to.
Well, the thing is, light bounces in real life. Now instead of having unrealistic black, hard shadows, you've got shadows that are subtly being influenced by the environment. Also, on a space station where everything could go wrong, it's not good to have like, no visibility. Aaand ID needed a reboot.
original doom 3 was better. why the hell did they attach the flashlight. it ruined doom 3 for me
Because in the future do you think the Military would be dumb enough to not put lights on their guns or armor? Even the USCMC from Aliens had lights mounted on their armor.
yes, i understand that. its just changed a lot for me with the bfg edition. i couldn't get as much sucked into it. like i did the original
Clay3613 That future where they can use this kind of energy to power up Blasma Rifles and BFGS but they couldnt afford an decent lightning in the base? It is indeed retarded that the guy couldnt even held the flash light with hes left arm while carrying an pistol. Some dark corners just where cheap and the constant swapping between light and gun actually rob fun from this game.
Clay3613 gameplay > realism
How is this not obvious to 'gamers' these days?
"Who turned the lights on [in _Doom³ BFG Edition_ ]?"
I don't know, but I don't like it either over the original _Doom³_ , and whomever it was that turned the lights on should get a once-over with the _Doom³_ chainsaw.
This guy talks like Christopher Walken
i think the real reason why fans are segregated between doom 1/2 and doom 3 is because doom 3 is a strict horror shooter meant to be more creepy and quiet, whereas doom 1/2 were more action oriented but were scary because of the subject matter and the sheer amount of freaky creatures moving around you. doom 3 saw a few imps being thrown at you and thats it, but doom 1/2 had rooms FILLED with dozens of monsters. different kind of game. i do hope they somehow manage with doom 4 to recreate that wow factor by having a more open floor design in levels with tons of monsters all over the place.
Doom 3 Beat your Girlfriend Edition
That doesn't make any sense
Battlefield 1942 Argentina You forgot a letter, dumbass.

Robert Breeden Stop being a douche. Let people have fun please.
***** Uhhhg, fiiiiine...
Such an underrated game. It's an actual masterpiece and I still find it as a DOOM game, but with mechanics and gameplay.
what an annoying review. hes the only person in the universe who liked that you couldnt use ya flashlight & gun at the same time.
and why does he not even have it on max detail in the traditional doom3? they didnt up the size of the textures in BFG edition.
he aint the only person who liked the fact that you cannot use the flashlight and the gun at the sametime, a lot of people liked that feature as it added to the horror
yudhistirs It's doesn't, it's just frustrating.
For all the people complaining about the flashlight, the flashlight has a short battery life so you still have to manage it. The main thing about the flashlight is logic, we can go to Mars and make a portal to hell but we can't make a hands-free flashlight. Doom 3 BFG still remembers what an FPS game is suppose to be and compare to rip-offs like FEAR is actually tense and exciting and it does come with Doom, Doom 2 and all the DLC for Doom 3 so it's good value for money IMO.
you can play doom 3 in widescreen. Its simple. just edit the cfg file and set r_mode to -1. Then set r_height and r_width. Also adjust the FOV. easy peasy. No need to buy again. Unless you dig that whole 3D thing.
The shadows in Doom 3 are so much better than the BFG edition, despite having better graphics. That makes no sense at all.
Man, I loved how the flashlight worked in Doom 3. You always had to decide between being a little bitch running into a dark room with your flashlight, or manning up, pulling out the shotty, and go in guns blazing like a space marine.
BFG Edition adds Resurrection of Evil, Lost Missions, plus the originals.
Even the Doom 3 Special Edition for Xbox didn't offer that. You just got the originals and that's it. Plus more was added in the levels of Doom 3 that the regular xbox version didn't have.
It's all around better. I played Doom 3 so much that once I bought BFG version I noticed immediately all the differences.
Actually you can use widescreen in vanilla doom 3. Heres how. Makes sure in steam or equivelant you put +set com_allowconsole 1 in launch settings.
Next
Then presst control shift ~ button.
r_mode -1
r_aspectratio 1
r_customheight 1080
r_customwidth 1920
Then go to game options and click apply and reload the game.
Replace with 4k or 8k if you like.
BFG edition have motion blur... make it look a lot different, they fix lighting and texture look more details. But both are really awesome
Time for self-criticism. All those months I was delirious about how Silent Hill HD Collection is in all ways inferior to the original games. And it is indeed. But expressing your concerns about a release is one thing, and fixation is another. I haven't ever played Doom 3, and now that I see this hysteria of all the Doom 3 veterans for the damn flashlight, now I understand how ridiculous I have been with my own hysteria about the Silent Hill new voice over and fog effects.
I like BFG a lot. The MIDIS to classic Doom sound a little heavier and the extra content is awesome. I don't mind the lighting, that can be changed in options. The armor flashlight I think is an improvement.
I don't know if its me, but i don't see really any improvement in BFG edition. The only negative thing i always hated was the sound of the guns that are really bad and that did not improved in BFG edition it seems. The sound was like listening to a stream of a very low kbps mp3.
finally! it WAS a feature:D imps give you light with their fireballs as they don't shoot instantly, the short charge up time gives you the chance to 1, locate enemies 2, take action :) (against other enemies you have plasma gun)
All of my comments under any doom 3 video should have this also:
1, pitch dark room
2, TN panel is a big nono (need black instead of brown, so IPS is the way to go),
3, minimal brightness settings on your display (to achieve even better black)
Same here. I understand business, you want to be successful, but then you lose track of what what made you successful...pleasing the customer and just making them happy and perhaps giving them what they want once in a while.
It seems business now is what business thinks what the customers want instead of just asking or assuming the answer.
When you look at MMOs & RTSs and why they can't be done properly on consoles is not because of any graphical limitations or anything on that level but because of the gameplay. You need to make the gameplay of those 2 genres work with a controller so saying an FPS is more suited for PC because you can have more people in MP than you aren't making a case to why it is a game that is suited for PCs
Here is a question for all the original Doom fans out there. Why did they change the way all the creatures looked? Adding the ability to look around, and jump/duck and made the weapons more realistic was awesome. But why completely change all the creatures into things that hardly resemble what once existed?
