Doom 3 BFG Remastered Edition Coming this Fall

Doom 3 BFG Remastered Edition Coming this Fall

A re-mastered, re-vamped and re-vitalised version of the iconic Mars base shooter Doom 3, is set to be released on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 this autumn.

Known as Doom 3: BFG Edition, the new version will come bundled with the original Doom and Doom 2 games, as well as seven new levels encompassing a new single player campaign for Doom 3, known as "The Lost Mission."

Graphics have been tweaked to bring about HD textures, 3D support and 5.1 surround sound, as well as a few new lighting effects to make the whole package feel more contemporary. Currently available gameplay footage isn't going to blow anyone away, but you wouldn't know you were looking at a game originally released in 2004.

A couple of minor gameplay improvements will also be noticeable. A body armour mounted flash-light allows players to see a little more while slaying hell spawn and an auto save checkpoint feature will mean there's no issues for those who have long forgotten about hitting F5 for a quicksave.
