Yesterday Bethesda and id announced Doom 3 will get an enhanced re-release called the BFG Edition. That's great news (the Doom series hasn't seen much love since 2004) but scanning down the list of BFG's features, it seems to be much more about porting the PC version and the Duct Tape Flashlight Mod over to the current generation of consoles than giving PC gamers a reason to play this controversial shooter again. We can do better!

It's still not quite Crysis, but it's a hellovalot better than the 2004 "Ultra" setting.

Warning: these sounds will increase the awesome factor of Doom 3.It sucks when your favorite baseball player doesn't make the roster after a strong Spring Training, but cuts have to be made. Similarly, id had to make some tough choices about which types of space-demon spawn would make the trip from the classic Dooms to Doom 3. There's no word on new beasties to battle in the official BFG Edition, but there are some in ours! With Revility's Demon Expansion Pack mod , some all-time favorites finally make their way into Doom 3, most notably the Nightmare Imp (from Doom64), the Imp lord (from the Doom RPG), and the Pain Elemental.Big ups to id for including the original versions of Doom and Doom II as part of the Doom BFG collection -- that's a great way to introduce console gamers to Doom's history, but what PC gamer doesn't already own those in their original forms?
