@@charlissedelapena5167 Absolutely, every few years I have to do another replay. One thing I absolutely love about Doom 3 is how the enemies are given some serious weight to them. A lot of other games the enemies are flying all over the screen like weightless confetti. Something the newer Dooms are also guilty of.

What made Doom 3 graphics so iconic wasn't just the realtime shadow and lighting (which are a very big deal at that time) but also the art direction. Just look at the techno-organic theme on the architecture and marine's armor. you can see alot of thoughts have been put into it. Or better yet, look at how they made those fleshy growth/hell corruption in D3 then compared them to D2016 and Eternal version. Every Doom3 models are so visceral, they make those in new Dooms looks cartoony in comparison.

I 100% agree I love doom eternal, but definitely doesn't feel scary nor was it what they were going for. I've longed for another game that gave me the anxiety of doom 3 when it first released. This game was crazy! As you said, the techno mechanic look of everything especially the level design is so, so good. I mean to this day I marvel at the look fo these scifi corridors, all the tunes, machinery and depth they put into every map, claustrophobic, but yet really busy immersive environment that to this day I haven't seen much again from. I feel like the closest thing was Dead space in look and feel along with amazing art direction and interior level design

What still blows my mind is Doom 2 happened in 1994 and Doom 3 in 2004. So the incredible explosion in graphical fidelity and home computing power that took us from games looking like Doom 2 to games looking like Doom 3 all happened in just ten years. I often think about the incredible technological progress between Doom 2 and 3 only taking ten years in the same way people think about how wild it is that we went from inventing powered flight to landing on the moon in just 60 years

Well first of all what is pretty amazing is how well the graphics hold up despite being 20 year old game. In some sense I feel bad that D3 got so much shit back in the day by not being just a mindless shooter where you just run through the rooms mowing down dozens of enemies. It had exploring, reading recordings of the workers, collecting passcodes for doors and lockers etc. I actually liked it because it took the approach of "okay, but serously this is what happened" and it gave a actual story and exploring and sort of a horror game vibe. But yeah as far as tehnology has gone those born in 80's or at the start of the 90's have seen insane progress within just couple of years wether its PC or console gaming. Nowday it has gotten so good that its really hard to expect any significant progress over like 5-10 year allthough the upcoming UE engine looks really awesome. What bothers me the most for some years now is the fact that the visuals keep improving but what I miss the most is how your actions should affect the enviroment. I mean the characters may look allmost movie like CGI but then you toss a greande on the table next to a computer and after the explosion the computer has just a temporary ash smudge on - I mean come on.

Oh most likely! The only reason I'm using reshade on this is to enable to rtgi shaders! So it should work. You can install it on any game. But for sure that's that like doom 1 remake mod right?

My first experience with Doom 3 wasn't on PC or the BFG edition... It was the Original Xbox version. Same goes for Half Life 2. Original Xbox! Great ports of that old console.

Smae for both of these! I played doom 3 for the first time on xbox and same with hl2!

Is there a way to bring back the og lighting in the bfg edition?

This game looked fantastic on the OG Xbox. Im so Glad i played it when it first came out.

Ah yes, the actual flashlight version and not the BFG edition nonsense. The OG flashlight edition was intense at times.

What do the path tracing and reshade mods do? Are they one and the same, or two separate things?

@cyclopticwonder5

So basically reshade let's you add different visual effects to your game in real time. There's presets you can install usually seen woth enb's or you can manually tweak things to get it how you want. They got doffente options from depth of field- lens flares and dirty screen etc. However the path tracing stuff is a shader that modifies existing lighting but needs reshade as a sort of host. I say that because reshade let's you set up depth for older games too in a way thay you need to to enable the lighting.

I love this game and Quake 4.

@cyclopticwonder5

Ай бұрын

I really enjoyed the classic remaining that they did for 2026 and eternal. I love the heavy industrial and prog metal vibe too, all in all I'm very happy with what doom eternal did for fps, and to vitalize a classic games story but still pursue what doom was supposed to be. Making you feel like a God. However, I agree that doom 3 was an approach to the story u really enjoyed. They implemented it into horror so well I mean we are talking about demons. Far too often demons underpaid in games. They just aren't ever scary or as messed up as they should be. I think the designs and sounds not to mention the atmosphere gave me an experience that felt supernatural. Like it wasn't an alien imvasion even though it was on Mars, it levitmetaly felt supernatural, dark and like these things were evil. Especially with the graphics, id love to get a modern remake of this. I bekige it would look amazing since this old one still holds up with a few mods! I feel it would be a great horror game by today's standards, it was always ahead of its time. Also, thank you so much for the comoliment!!

My hot take is that doom 3 is the 1st doom in chronological order. It just makes sense. That and there's a lot of influence from 3 in doom 2016 and eternal, the biggest one thats well known are doom 3s hell knights compared to doom 2016 and eternals hell knight.

I was around 8 or so when I played this for the first time. I wasn't supposed to, my older brother said it was too scary for me. He was right.

I remember a friend getting his hands on the E3 demo which was released or even leaked. He had the biggest and beefiest rig in the lam party cellar. And we where absolutely blown away by the 640p windowed 15fps gameplay we could barely get to work.
