The enhanced re-release of Doom 3 is coming just in time for Halloween, publisher Bethesda Softworks has announced. The "BFG Edition" of id's classic FPS will be available on October 16 on PC, Xbox 360, and PS3. The console versions will retail for $40, while the PC version will be $30.
BFG adds Doom 3, Resurrection of Evil, and "The Lost Mission"--all optimized in 3D, 5.1 surround sound, achievements, improved rendering and lighting, and a new checkpoint save system. There's also an armor-mounted flashlight, "allowing players to illuminate dark corners and blast enemies at the same time."
The BFG Edition also includes the original Doom and Doom 2, making it the "definitive collection" for the series. Perhaps after this release, id will be a bit more forthcoming about Doom 4.

Please Support OCCOLUS RIFT when it hits kickstarter, you may be able to get these custom HMD kits for about 500$

Strongly considered it, I guess they pushed the kickstarter back another 2 weeks because of big new developments from big developers(?!?!)

Valve would make sense. They pimped the Razer Hydra, which GabeN crossed paths with again via the swordfighting game. Abrash is also working on 'wearable' stuff at Valve, with the Carmack connection. It seems silly that Zenimax wouldn't want a piece of the action.
Before, he wanted it to run for 60 days so he could get an end date that coincided with QuakeCon, where they'd have demo units set up. I presume a 'big name company' could help by guaranteeing an initial purchase of the components before all the kickstarter orders come in?
What's your interest in the kit itself, user level? coding?

no one said you should be excited about it. And no one says you cant use F5. Is auto saving really worth complaining about?

Co-op?

I'm not sure how this will translate to the remastered version, but . . .
"The Xbox version of Doom 3 also incorporates an additional two-player co-operative mode for the main single-player game."

$30 for an 8 year old game?
Also, I wonder if they will fix the sound bug with the SMG. It wasn't mentioned in the article.-
You mean the stuttering? Blame the sound designer (either Xian or Ed Lima) for creating a bad loop.
I'll see if I can port my "sound fix" pak file to the BFG edition, but that will only work if they don't lock out extra pak files from the single-player game (they might do that to protect cheevos).-
If they do that they will be dead to me.

They should just implement Trent Reznor's sound pack into the remaster

Nope, it's a damn shame, too. Unless they threw out all the original models, the way they had built the original game would have made it relatively easy to updated the models to a DX11 type thing. They would have just needed to re-do the low poly models, and re-renderbump the hi-poly models, but I guess this is more of a quick money grab to stop the bleeding until DOOM4

Do you get a discount if you already own Doom 3 and the expansion pack?
-
I've already bought it a stupid amount of times -couple PC versions cuz i lost my discs, on steam in a superpack, osx version, and a used copy for xbox.

That is acceptable.

We need some comparision screenshots, it looks the same to me.
