Release Date: October 16th, 2012 Publisher: Bethesda Softworks Developer: id Software, Nerve Software, Panic Button Official Website: https://doom.bethesda.net/ DOOM 3: BFG Edition is an overhauled version of the original DOOM 3, its Resurrection of Evil expansion pack and The Lost Mission. The graphics and audio were updated, several gameplay changes were implemented (e.g. checkpoint-based save system, flashlight being built into the armor) and native stereoscopic 3D support was added. Higher framerates are also supported. Additionally, it includes ports of DOOM and DOOM II. The included version of DOOM II also features the "No Rest for the Living" campaign, which was formerly exclusive to the Xbox LIVE Arcade release for Xbox 360. Despite the amount of new additions, this version suffers from many flaws which resulted in getting a mixed reception such as: muzzle flashes from weapons no longer lights surrounding environments, corpses clipping through each other when killed, missing EAX audio support, no support for modifications without a source port, compressed textures with heavy color banding, the environments overall being brighter, the game overall being much easier than the original version, the cutscenes being unskippable, simplified level design, especially for Resurrection of Evil, an excessive amount of extra ammunition compared to the original DOOM 3, Chaingun fires at slower rate, and compressed audio. The versions of DOOM and DOOM II included with DOOM 3: BFG Edition also have flaws of their own as they contain unique IWADs which may not be compatible with all DOOM source ports, incorrect lighting and aspect-ratio, sound effects are played back at a lower sample rate, the fast monsters mechanic in the Nightmare! difficulty has been removed, the red medical crosses on recovery items being altered in both games, along with all Nazi iconography from the secret Wolfenstein 3D levels in DOOM II. Another version derived from DOOM 3: BFG Edition, simply titled DOOM 3, was developed by Panic Button released through Bethesda.net in 2019. Essentially, a standalone version DOOM 3: BFG Edition as it does not include the embedded versions DOOM and DOOM II due to the availability of their respective modern standalone re-releases on PC. It is largely similar to DOOM 3: BFG Edition in terms of content and features with the ability to re-enable flashlight shadows, but the multiplayer component and developer console have been removed. On August 10th, 2022, Bethesda has simplified and merged all store listings of the original DOOM 3, the Resurrection of Evil expansion pack, and DOOM 3: BFG Edition into one package on Steam. On February 27th, 2023, the original DOOM 3 and Resurrection of Evil was re-released through GOG.com and bundled with DOOM 3: BFG Edition. The source code to DOOM 3: BFG Edition was released on November 27th, 2013, which lead to the development of engine modifications to the game. Some of the issues that were introduced in Doom 3: BFG Edition can potentially be addressed through using a source port such as DOOM: BFA Edition or CstDoom3-BFG. The original content from DOOM and DOOM II also can reinstated through modifications. |
