People who don't game on the PC, and who don't have the original Xbox?
Seems like that could mean a lot of people.

They should call it The Doom Trilogy, since it also includes the first two games.

If they are seriously using this as a test they might aswell cancel the game already XD
But maybe is the other way around... To build hype for Doom 4?
The trailer neglects to mention the PC initially, but a box shot is shown at the end.

Wow. You can't accuse them of doing it half-arsed.
May be in the minority, but didn't have a prob with the flashlight in D3.

I agree that DOOM Trilogy would have been a far better name - communicates the content better than DOOM 3 BFG Edition.
For some reason I feel bad that I never played through DOOM 3 on the Xbox, and yet now I'm sort of glad since this will obviously perform a lot better.

I'm gonna assume there's a Doom 4 trailer hidden on the disc for beating every game.
Edit - It's a shame they aren't doing a Wolfenstein rerelease collection for it's anniversary.

I would be shocked if Bethesda would ever release anything on a Nintendo console.

Will buy if 1080p@60fps.

I wouldn't call what is shown in the video "greatly enhanced graphics". Sure, mapping and textures have been improved from what I can see, but it's nothing revolutionary. Though the game is great in my opinion, so even if it's not up to Crysis standards it could be a nice experience. I don't know if I will buy it however.
It's dull they haven't updated the Cacodemon design. I still find it atrocious, in comparison with the original Cacodemons (and Pain elemental).

I read that line, too. You know there are other options than just re-releases, right? In fact, re-releasing Doom 3 could backfire. If people haven't played it before, but try it out based on the series's legendary reputation and find it lacking, it could hurt Doom 4's hype and sales. The combination of Rage and Doom 3 isn't exactly the greatest possible advertisement for id.

Doom 4 will be a hell of a lot closer to Doom 3 than it will Doom 1 or 2. So, I disagree.
And id hasn't made a true classic in 2 decades. I'm not sure what people expect out of them.
Doom 3 is an OK game, and Doom 4 will probably be an OK game too. Same with Rage.
I just watched it, you're right. Someone at id should be fed to a Shambler over this.
Anyway, that trailer was great, even if it doesn't look all that impressive in comparison to modded D3. Although 720p on YT doesn't help either, I guess.

Co-op in Doom 3 was awesome, one man holds the flashlight, other man holds the gun. I may pick this up.

I enjoyed Doom 3 on the Xbox, and made it to the very end without any cheats, but couldn't finish the job. This is a nice package, but I don't think I'm interested in old Doom games.

Time to double/triple/quadruple up as the case may be. Gotta fund Godmack's rocket obsession.
I adore Doom and Doom II, but over the years I've tried several times to get into Doom3 and just can't. Mostly it's because the weapons feel so weak, and the gameplay just isn't the same, changing from frantic and fast-paced in previous instalments to something much slower, story-oriented and atmospheric. (That said, I'll probably check this out anyway because I can't stop trying to like this ridiculous game)
On the other hand, thanks to this thread I got to have a delightful Doom experience that I missed when it was originally released!

Why would you assume that?
Doesn't appear to look much different. Definitely not on par with Sikkmod. 
Player/Enemy health and speed, damage variables, add random monsters, change health system, remove reloading, and all sorts of other things. You can make the game play much more like Doom 1 and 2 with many more on screen enemies and a much faster pace if you desire. It's pretty damn awesome.
Sikkmod, aside from its graphics additions, also allows you to tweak a wide variety of game variables that can completely transform the way it plays. You can adjust nearly everything that matters.

Where is the Vita version? Resistance proved to be a disappointment but I still want a Vita FPS, and I've always loved Doom 3. Come on Carmack, I thought you were interested in portable devices.
