Doom 3:BFG Edition

I'd post the launch trailer but I'm on tapatalk.

Got excited reading about this on IGN, does anyone else fancy it?

Loved the original, first real FPS I played on a PC and first game I've genuinely been scared!

Cant say the orinigal 'scared' me at all, it was more comedy than scary (half-life was the first game I played that scared the crap out of me). Original games were good fun, looking forward to a demo, but not sure I will be buying it as its practically the same as doom3.

Doom 3 is a power cut simulator.

Sorry I meant the original Doom 3 scared me, sat with the lights off with a big monitor back in 2004, scared me anyway!

FPMSL! Too right. It didn't scare me - rather it frustrated the hell out of me with being too dark. Add mood. Add atmosphere. But don't make a game where the visible area is a 100x100 pixel blob in the middle of your screen.

As for being scared - Scarabaeus was the first I remember, from back in my C64 era. I couldn't work out how the hell to play it either. I still don't, to this day!

It was a European game though. And you know what those people on the continent are like. A few cogs short of a full gearbox.

Not quite as random as Purple Saturn Day. Now that required crack to play it.

+1 on the scared. Had to play in total dark though, and with surround sound it really was pant shittingly scarey when you were fully immersed.

Agreed, especially on the PC!

Also this has multiplayer for anyone doubting the packs strength. Gonna pick it up tomorrow

It's Doom 3 with shitty interlaced 3D support. They've done nothing to it by the sounds of it, I wouldn't bother.

Yeah just read up on it, doesn't sound all that extra special tbf meh.
