It rendered Doom 2’s defining weapon useless which is a real bummer as a series fan. One thing that really irked me is the infuriatingly slow reload speed on the double-barreled shotgun. Though changes were made, BFG Edition isn’t perfect. I am worried how this new mechanic will affect that amazing scenario and others like it. The tension between shooting enemies and seeing where the track extends to was unreal. One moment had the player defending moving cargo on a track in a pitch black room.
I personally was a fan of the flashlight in the original, since some memorable moments came from it. However, the flashlight has a battery that drains quickly. Most noticeably, the flashlight is now accessible while carrying a weapon. That’s pretty much all you can ask of a HD re-release.Īs Jim Sterling said in his E3 preview, BFG Edition makes some minor changes to the combat.

BFG makes the game look even better with a redesigned lighting system and impressive 3D capabilities (for those with the proper hardware to use it). I didn’t play Doom 3 until 2008 but I was still impressed with its visuals on a PC with max settings. Instead of creeping down dark corridors with a flashlight in hand, I strafed past enemy projectiles while filing the screen with rockets. Though the game still lacks the open space, high enemy count, and ridiculous speed that defined Doom 1 & 2, this new environment brings Doom 3 a bit closer to its heritage. Whether out of curved expectations or improvements made to an eight-year-old game, I was surprised to find myself thoroughly enjoying Lost Mission. The game was at its best when it left the tight corridors of the space station and took the player back to hell - thankfully BFG Edition‘s exclusive Lost Mission expansion returns to this setting while offering a lot more.ĭoom 3: BFG Edition (PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3) Instead, it was a slow, methodical shooter that leaned on its horror elements far more than previous games in the series. It neither captured the speed of the original game or the lofty cinematic ambitions it tried to chase after.
