why would you want iron sights? don't tell me you were one of those silly people that used the iron sights in RAGE?
And more doors. :/

Looks like Doom 3 PC.

My mind is blown. I just realized I played through RAGE on nightmare without really using sights...
Nah, I used the shotgun through most of RAGE. But the ironsight option is much better than Doom 3's prehistoric rmb = magic zoom option imo.

Would be nice if there's an option to either play with the flashlight on all the time or as you used it in the original game. I don't think that would be too tough to include.

ah, yes. i will not argue there. the magic zoom was very daft.
Rage was actually the only Id game that i gave up playing about half way through, i just couldn't do it, too much of a chore. It was simply no fun!
Doom 3 on the other hand, i enjoyed it, despite the cheap monster in the closet tricks, it was worth it.
That being said, i have zero expectations for the next Id game, they either make a focused "corridor" shooter with "tight" gameplay and it will be great or they try another clusterfuck of an "open world" game and fail horribly.

They're going to have to make this better than modded Doom 3 before I'm interested, but what I'm still praying to the Original Space Marine for is for Doom 4 to deliver the next FPS standard. Seeing RAGE made me confident that they still understand guns better than anyone but man I hope the design was just from the open world format and them treating it more like an experiment to teach them how to improve Doom 4.
I played the PC fan port of this. It's so amazingly not-Doom and sluggish, though I do like the character designs.

what's going to make it better than any modded Doom 3 for me is stereoscopic support, espescially knowing that Carmack is going to make sure it works well on the Sony HMZ. Doom 3 has always left me a bit cold, but that atmosphere on that headset, is going to be incredible.

Doom and Doom 2.
...but not Final Doom.
Can't be "the definitive [Doom] collection" if you're missing those, guys.
(Doom 64, too, but Final Doom is more glaring.)

Would have been awesome if Doom 1 & 2 had been a remake with the same engine used for Doom 3 in this new version.

I liked it at the time, but other than a few scary moments, I can't really remember why. I disliked the combat (Bullet sponges as far as the eye can see!) and the fact that most conflicts only really had one plausible solution (here's your cover, or where you can kite them to, go to town!) were the big killers. Monster closets were fun the first few times, but got pretty damn boring by the end.
I think I enjoyed being scared, and the atmosphere was well done, doubt i'd replay it though. Even

I enjoyed the entirety of Rage more than I did the 2 hours of DOOM3 I played.

They should intergrate SiKKMod into the PC version....Amazing stuff.

It was the exact opposite for me. Rage just wasn't very good IMO.
Massively innovative, I think Prey basically copied it (same engine?). Hard Reset takes the idea to a whole other level though.
Sorry for not reading the thread, but what does BFG stand for?
Mr Negativity indeed. Doom 3 was a great game and I don't see how Closet monsters would depreciate your gaming enjoyment unless you hada certain mindset twards it. Yes, it was not as good as one could hope for, but its hardly something to be dissmissed about. those liughtning effect look good even today.

a couple of details from John's twitter and a Verge story on John's homemade VR headset (that he's hoping will go into production, and that he'll be supporting in Doom 3).
currently the PC version supports side by side 3D, though he's expecting to implement proper framepacked options before release. aiming is done via an ingame laser sight in 3D. his homemade HMD has a 90 degree FOV and motion sensors so you can actually look around.

So many Doom 3 haters. I liked it a lot. Will most likely get this.

since the HMZ got him interested in 3D (and in building a better HMD) i've been waiting for something like this. i thought it'd be a patch for Rage, but this will definately do.

I played Doom 3 many years after its release. It's dated, dull and boring, I'd much rather play Doom 1 or 2. And this "remastering" looks exactly like the PC version.
I was being honest, buddy!
Meh at "remastered". Sure doesn't look like it.
Anyways, they should bring this particular sequence from the Xbox version into it as I always thought this was a nice little change/addition: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4RZaT1Ek3k#t=35s

I actually enjoyed doom 3's singleplayer campaign. If it launches for a reasonable price and you're interested in it, I'd recommend picking it up.

Man, Doom 3 was a fun game. Not Doom 1 quality but still good.

Can I assume the framerate for these games are going to be rock solid since it's coming from id?
60fps?
I love this type of releases with all the prequels.

Doesn't appear to look much different. Definitely not on par with Sikkmod.
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.
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.
Now Now there are some pc gamers who would enjoy that give a link for that download. having that for D3 would easily fix some of it's basic problems.

What about Final Doom?
I hate some (if not most) of the weapon sound effects on Doom 3, call me crazy but I prefer the ones from Doom 1 and 2, now those pack a punch
