Today, the full experience has been enhanced and extended to be better than ever, and is delivered across all platforms with a silky smooth frame rate and highly responsive controls.
John Carmack, id's technical director (and Doom's co-creator), said in a press-release, "DOOM 3 was enthusiastically embraced by gamers worldwide. It’s amazing how a small change can transform the entire experience.Doom 3: BFG Edition is a remastered version of Doom 3. I like them for what they are, and recommend you to give them a try as well. Now I own both editions of the game, but it’s more like having two entirely different Doom 3s. I, however, always liked the little inconvenience - but at the same time, I also quite enjoyed the change of pace the new flashlight brough to the table.
It seems like some fans have started to appreciate this limitation only after it was gone. The BFG edition has been criticized for not doing that. The question is: was this change really needed?Īt release, the original version of Doom 3 was met with some negative feedback because of the flashlight mechanic, which, as many had felt, put the player at a disadvantage. It became a frenetic, action packed experience, similar to the original two games and not that different from Doom 2016, albeit less fluid and set in tighter corridors. It made the game play more like… Doom! There was no need to be careful anymore, so I rushed through levels, being able to distinguish both ammo packs and enemies from a distance. There were a lot of jump scares in form of enemies that revealed themselves only as I came close enough to smell their bad breath.īFG edition not only added the option of having the light on all the time, but it also slightly increased the strength of the beam (or at least I felt like it did). Having returned to the game just a few days ago, I kept switching between the gun and the light constantly, fearing a sudden attack. Since you weren’t able to hold the flashlight and a gun at the same time, and the environment was often pitch black, you had to move carefully, exploring every nook and cranny for supplies. 2004’s Doom 3 was a very slow-paced shooter, to the point it felt more like a traditional survival horror (at least in the first half of the campaign).
