When I heard they were remaking Doom 3, my first thought was, "Already!?" but then I realized the game had actually come out 8 years ago. Maybe a re-release isn't such a crazy idea after all. Doom 3 has always been a solid game that successfully married a survival horror aesthetic to classic Doom run and gun gameplay-- albeit with some polarizing design choices. Players have argued about the game's flashlight (you couldn't use it and a gun at that same time, resulting in a lot of shooting into the darkness) and the game's reliance on "monster closets" to dole out cheap scares. Does Doom 3: BFG Edition fix these issues, and 8 years later does it still stand up with all of the advances that have been made in FPS design? Hit the jump and I'll let you know.
