In this instalment, not only have you been given a gun mounted flashlight, but the entire game is much brighter. The original game was phenomenal because of the terrifying, paranoid ambience while sneaking through empty-or are they?-hallways. The lighting was also an issue, and not because it was too dark. It doesn’t impact the gameplay all that much, but it was something in the original version which carried over to the rerelease. The actual movement was still a little sloppy. I won’t say they were perfect as there was room for some improvement in a couple of areas. The gameplay mechanics, on the other hand, were quite good. Instead, it felt like a brighter version of the original game which wasn’t particularly needed. I was hoping for crisper edges and slightly updated styles in features like faces and movements. Again, I can’t comment on how the graphics looked with other versions available, but with the Playstation it just fell flat. I understand the difficulty in trying to reinvent a beloved game by proclaiming it’ll play like new and look modern. I was disappointed with the graphics I had to endure in mission after mission. I’ve heard the graphics are superb on the latest PC version, and a little better than the PS3 on the Xbox 360. Instead, you can wear the headgear and play the game in virtual reality.Īs stated, I played this game on the PS3. This is one of the first games you can play without a monitor or television set. This version of the game is also one of the first-if not the first-game to be compatible with the Occulus Rift VR headset. While I played it in the standard 2D mode and can’t comment on how well the game plays in 3D, it’s certainly one of the few games to incorporate the latest technology. Other than the flashlight though, those in possession of a 3D monitor or television can play the game in 3D. This may not come across as gigantic news for newcomers who haven’t played the Doom 3 before, but the either/or nature of flashlight use in the original was such a controversial topic, id decided to tweak it for the rerelease. The original Doom series inspired them all, paving the way for modern day survival based horror shooters and the FPS genre itself.įans of the original game can rejoice knowing players will be able to use a flashlight with a weapon. It all may sound like a game you’ve played before Dead Space or Mass Effect. Before you can get your warning out, however, something goes terribly wrong and you’re left to fight off an army of monstrous enemies. On arrival, you’re sent to go oversee some of the workers, and encourage them to leave the base. You play as a new recruit aboard a military transport bound for a Martian research outpost. If you haven’t played the game, here’s a really quick introduction. It’s the same storyline, same weaponry for the most part, and the same characters. There isn’t much to say about the game if you’ve played the original PC version. Doom 3 was a big part of my childhood and a gateway into games without adorable Italian plumbers running around, saving princesses.Īll that surprise about the ignorance of an iconic series has led me to the actual review for Doom 3: BFG Edition. I was not prepared for the lack of knowledge as to what the game was, or that it even existed. Granted these friends aren’t the biggest video game fanatics, but they play a variety of games. This is why I was perplexed when I asked some friends if they wanted to play Doom 3, and they had never heard of it. Even if they hadn’t played it, I was sure they the title had come up in conversation. What’s Doom 3 And Where Are The First Two?īefore I started writing this review, I thought everyone (who played videogames) knew what Doom 3 was.
