Remastered for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, Doom 3 BFG Edition will be released October 16th in North America and three days later for the European gamers that want to revisit Mars and promptly wet themselves when Imps start crawling through the vents. Announced through Bethesda's Blog, both console versions will retail at $39.99 (!) and include all of the original Doom 3 DLC along with the brand new "The Lost Mission."
From Bethesda:
"Re-mastered for both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, DOOM 3 and it’s expansion pack offer enhanced visuals further immersing you in the demonic world like never before. DOOM 3, Resurrection of Evil, and ‘The Lost Mission’ have been optimized in 3D, featuring 5.1 surround sound, Xbox 360 Achievements, PlayStation 3 trophies, improved rendering and lighting, and a new check point save system allowing for smoother progression through the game. id Software has fine-tuned the controls to bring the intensity of the DOOM single and multiplayer experience to the consoles, and DOOM 3 now features the new armor-mounted flashlight, allowing players to illuminate dark corners and blast enemies at the same time.
DOOM 3 BFG Edition will also include the original DOOM and DOOM 2 games, making it the definitive collection of the genre-defining games developed by id Software, the pioneers of the first-person shooter genre."
This seems like a no-brainer if you grew up on First-Person Shooters and know blue orbs can make you invincible. The only downside is you probably won't be able to play this on John Carmack's virtual reality display unit, the Oculus Rift.
