Bethesda Softworks Announces Doom 3 BFG Edition

Bethesda Softworks today announced that Doom 3 BFG Edition will be available this Autumn. The BFG Edition will feature Doom 3 and the Resurrection of Evil add-on pack, both of which have been completely re-mastered. The package also includes many hours of new content – seven new levels entitled ‘The Lost Mission’.  DOOM 3 BFG Edition is slated for release for the Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3, making it the first time any DOOM game has ever appeared on the PlayStation 3. As an extra bonus, DOOM 3 BFG Edition will also include the original Doom and Doom 2 games.

Doom 3, Resurrection of Evil, and ‘The Lost Mission’ have been optimized for 3D, featuring 5.1 surround sound, Xbox 360 Achievements, PlayStation 3 trophies, improved rendering and lighting as well as a new check point save system. id Software has fine-tuned the controls to bring the intensity of the Doom single and multiplayer experience to the consoles, and Doom 3 now features the new armour-mounted flashlight, allowing players to illuminate dark corners and blast enemies at the same time.

“DOOM 3 was enthusiastically embraced by gamers worldwide at its release,” said John Carmack, Technical Director at id Software. “Today, the full experience has been enhanced and extended to be better than ever, and is delivered across all the platforms with a silky smooth frame rate and highly responsive controls.  New support for 3D TVs, monitors, and head mounted displays also allows players to experience the game with more depth than ever before. We think shooter fans everywhere will love it.”
