Doom 3: Phobos - Episode 2 released

[geX]

Episode 2 is finally here. We are really proud of what we have accomplished so far and we think that Episode 2 is better than its predecessor in all meaningful ways and measures. The second episode features 6 levels of varying sizes and way more combat than the first. The levels contain more puzzles and are - at times - harder to navigate. It has been a treat to develop the second episode of Doom 3 Phobos and we hope you will have as much fun playing it as we had building it.

Nice

Best mods getting released for old games! Doom 3, HOMM 3, Quake 1, etc.!

I recommend this for sure. Even if you don't like Doom 3 you may like this mod.

This mod is awesome. If someone experience low-resolution both in-menu and in-game, use this fixed config from modbb - https://www.moddb.com/games/doom-iii/addons/doom-3-phobos-bad-quality-fix-cfg

"Phobos - a three episode expansion pack for DOOM 3"

P.S. I hope it's outdated info, but I've got a feeling that it's actual info.

I was promised to be 5 at the beginning

We never promised 5 Episodes. Where did you get that info? XD

We have always planned 3 Episodes. But what the 3 episodes will consist of has greatly changed. Once Episode 2 was supposed to be on Phobos and Episode 3 was supposed to be in hell. That was changed long ago when we realized that would be too much work.

[T02my]

Oh, hey. Could I ask you for a few things, if it's possible to make:
1) Subtitles. Prey has it and its too Doom 3 engine based.
2) Could you make the last quest to find a bomb more highlighted to the player, I did not understand what I had to do :D until watched YT's playthrought. Maybe make the bomb like red-lighted in chest, and when u approach the wall the main protoghanist may say "hm, maybe I could find a use for a bomb here".

P.S. Chlow was here is a reference to Life is Strange game?

I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere. Maybe on Doomworld, maybe somewhere else. I even remember, deciding to wait for the 5 episodes to come out to make the experince the best as possible

Or my memory is a glitch from the matrix, who knows anymore, lmao

Just finished Ep2 for the first time. What did you do with the gameplay? Insane how good it is, from the start room, with 2 chaingunners & one shotgunner, up until very end! After that Ep1 feels tame difficulty-wise, which is fine for introduction I guess, but still - maybe up the baddies count here a little in future updates?

Next time someone tells me that Doom 3's shooting sucks, I'm gonna send them right to Phobos, UV at least :) Can't wait for Ep3!

[asura]

Can't launch it :(

I played both episodes, this is a very high quality mod congrats and thank you for making this.

at first I thought the imps were way too fast and aggressive but I got used to it after a while.
levels, lighting, love to details, atmo everything pretty amazing.

I like how the level are build more like the old Doom games and not linear.

the story... I don´t know I can see much work went into it but I am not sure it really fits sometimes... this is personal opinion but I felt like the story bits and the actual levels were kinda "disjointed".

I mean while I was playing the actual levels I thought this is a very nice Doom 3 expansion but then every time a story segment started I was kinda like wtf... but okay that´s me, in the end I am intrigued now and want to see how it ends but for me a simple “marine has to find his way out of this mess” without extra fluff would have done it.

oh and some of the puzzles were a bit obscure and annoying, the gas pipeline puzzle in ep2 almost made me stop playing this, the mechanic is not really that clear or intuitive.

that said I can´t wait for ep3.
