Improved graphics?

[Zen Shot]

Has the graphics been overhauled in this BFG edition? Improved textures etc? Or, as I already own Doom 3 will I simply be paying for a map pack with no other improvements?

[crumpet]

It has marginally improved graphics, widescreen support and extra levels. Bit of a cash in, but as a Doom fan I bought it and enjoyed it anyway.

No improvements at all. It was even made worse that the original Doom 3. It's better to use mods if you want better graphics.

crappy game , cant play it with editing to change the fov , the old doom 3 are editable ffs :/

Doesn't "+seta g_fov 100" in steam set launch options work?

Just tested it on mhy setup and it does work although I prefer 90.

the mod called Perfected Doom 3 is free and looks better then BFG edition.

[Mr. Joshua]

and don't forget this has native 3d support.

I bought it having already bought the orginal, I think its looks grate only thing that makes it differ from modern games is the faces of the people...also there are no chicks:) Any really enjoying it to think they made a game like that back in 2004, Rage was awesome as well cant wait for Doom 4!

Yeah. That's the only other thing going for it as I have an Nvidia 3D Vision 2.0 setup. Think I'll give it a miss tbh or at least wait for a sale. Cheers for the replies.

You would be pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid if you buy this when you already have Doom 3.

I would even advice people to buy the original Doom 3 over this game, since the original is way better since you can apply some mods for better graphics, etc.

Why is it stupid? lol

You get the original Doom 1 & 2 that are playable in Windows. Doom 3 and RoE with updated interfaces plus new levels for Doom 3 and a wad pack for Doom 2. You'd be stupid to miss this if you are a Doom fan.

PC port for console ported to PC, this edition is a nonsense on PC. 20€ for Lost levels, no way. The old version allows gorgeous textures pack, sound pack and a great coop mod.

[Atragorn]

if you like any doom3 mods or were considering using one later DO NOT buy this is breaks every mod outthere apparently.

[MrBear]

lol, I have Orig D3 & RoE - Plus some major Modage from some good Forums, all in all i did'nt get ripped off for £20 and my game works better than the "NEW" & apparently Improved D3\RoE lol, as someone pointed out earlier that in US game is $20 & in UK game is £20 . . .

Really, no but really really, what have they done that warrents ANYONE paying that much for a game that 6 weeks ago I got for £5.00 & that includes the Expansion, I mean REALLY REALLY.
NO STEAM, Just NO!, U bad Steam, BAD steam. (sorted) ¬.¬ (or is it ? )

I am a DooM fanatic and really enjoy this pack. It has been heavily tweaked, and it really is nice to have them all in one package.

Ok, so I whined and complained like everyone else, and now I know how to fix everything but the horribly broken keyboard controls in Doom 1+2.
Right-click on Doom 3: BFG Edition in your Steam Library.
Click "Properties" at the bottom of the menu.
Under the "General Tab", click "Set Launch Option".
Add the following line, no quotes: "+seta com_allowconsole 1"
Run the game.
If you wish to change the FOV, press ~ while in game to open the console, and type "set g_fov xxx" where "xxx" is the numerical value you want your FOV. I prefer 90.
If you dislike the lighting, try "set r_gamma 0.85", and adjust the brightness UP just a tad. Should get rid of the "washed out" look.
