Doom 3 BFG Edition announced for PS3, PC & 360...

[THUGGEDOUT]

Doom 3 BFG Edition, a re-mastered and expanded version of Doom 3, will be released for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this autumn, developer id Software has announced.
The new version includes the original Doom and Doom 2, plus The Lost Mission, a never-before-seen single-player story for Doom 3 spread over seven fresh levels.

Re-mastered graphics, support for 3D and head-mounted displays, 5.1 surround sound, improved rendering and lighting will also feature.

Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions will, naturally, include Achievements/Trophies.

There's also a new checkpoint save system for "smoother progression" through the game, plus an armour-mounted flashlight, allowing players to illuminate dark corners and kill enemies at the same time.

"Doom 3 was enthusiastically embraced by gamers worldwide at its release," id Software boss John Carmack explained. "Today, the full experience has been enhanced and extended to be better than ever, and is delivered across all the platforms with a silky smooth frame rate and highly responsive controls."

"New support for 3D TVs, monitors, and head mounted displays also allows players to experience the game with more depth than ever before. We think shooter fans everywhere will love it."

If the checkpoint system is an optional save feature, I'm sold.

I refuse to pay 60 dollars

[MedicDog]

YES.

First day buy.

[Joe Zombie]

Hell yeah! Played this years ago. Awesome game.

[Horschack]

Doom, Doom 2, remastered Doom 3, The Lost Mission and trophies? YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Day 1. Started on games like this, Wolfenstein and Quake, Duke, Blood and others. Haven't played a Doom game in years, so for me this will be a superb package.

[keefy]

Already got all the Doom games but wouldnt mind buyign this or the extra missions and of course seeign what these enhanced graphics look like although from that vid it doesnt look massive difference from what I remember.

[DreDayDetox]

Yeah it's slightly better, but not by much..anyway, I've never beaten doom 1 or 2 and it's been years since I beat Doom 3, but I loved that game. The wheelchair man and the spiders scared the shit out of me. The Hell levels were my favourite in the whole game because of how grotesque and gory they were. And those 7 extra levels, could they be leading up to Doom 4?

[TAZ427]

Bah, I may grab it for $14.99 a year after it releases.

[Kuro]

3 in 1 nice I'd get it

[neoxthexone]

Never actually played these but I've always been wanting to....so Im probably going to buy them.

[Blacksite]

I never actually completed the game but it was alright. I'll just wait for Doom 4.

Sick trailer though. I love the title transition at the end.

same here I'm sad to say.. so I'll probably get this too and then play the games in order

[Sryche22]

Though this will be a first day buy for me, I do hope they include MP for at least D3. Although the SP is a lot of fun, MP D3 would bring back some old school id gaming that I've been missing on console.

...here's hoping for a remastered or revamped Quake collection (maybe for PS4!?!) =)

[Lethal_NFS]

Easy purchase for me.

[RipleyExile]

Awesome news! Played Doom when it first got released and loved it. I only have it on iPod now and the controls suck.

Day 1 (whenever that is going to be).

Started on games like this, Wolfenstein and Quake, Duke, Blood

Don't forget HeXen.

[Horschack]

Don't forget HeXen.

Nice! I loved HeXen too! Great games. What other classic great old-schoolers can we come up with?

[Fenix]

Just hope its not full retail price, I'd easily pay $40 for it though. (bout what you'd pay for the "doom pack")

[Fr0ggeh]

Nice! I loved HeXen too! Great games. What other classic great old-schoolers can we come up with?

Heretic, Shadow Warrior.... hm, I know there are lots more . And I always mix up heretic and hexen by the way, I can never remember which is which! Oh, I just remembered another one, Rise of the Triad.

[Horschack]

There was a really fun first person shooter set in Egypt (not Serious sam although it is classic as well, there was another earlier game). I can't remember the name of it but I remember loving it. Ring any bell anyone?

[Svetlana]

I believe that game was called Exhumed for the original Playstation. I enjoyed it too!

Heretic, Shadow Warrior.... hm, I know there are lots more . And I always mix up heretic and hexen by the way, I can never remember which is which! Oh, I just remembered another one, Rise of the Triad.

Heretic was awesoeme, Hexen was more hub based, I didnt like it so much.
Rise of the triad was based on the wolfenstien engine.
Herectic, Hexen, Doom 1, 2 all based on the Doom engine.
Shadow Warrior, and Duke Nukem were using the Duke Nukem engine.
And dont forget Dark Forces!

[Jaeger]

Never played the Doom games so this will probably be a day one purchase for me. Looks amazing.

Was playing D3 on my PC the other day. Reminded me how good it is.

Might pick this up at the right price-point regardless of the checkpoint system. I'm thinking £14.99.
