Doom 3 Original vs BFG Edition PC Comparison -No Commentary-
12For this comparison I set both versions to 1280x1024 because I can't seem to get the Steam version of the original Doom 3 to display in 1080p. I've tried changing the config file, and the boot options through Steam itself, but nothing. The retail CD version I also have installed in my PC will display in 1080p, however, now matter what I try, I cannot get it to save the 16x AA setting. The Steam version will save the 16xAA setting, so I decided, in order to make each game evenly matched, I would run the Steam version of Doom 3, and just change the resolution of BFG edition to 1280x1024 so they would be on even ground visually.
Honestly, they are basically the same game. They are the same visually, and design wise, the only big difference it the flash light. I really wish they would have given the option to play BFG edition with the flash light instead of just forcing the change on players. I do like BFG Edition, it has a ton of content, however, I will always love Vanilla Doom 3 more. I mean, I spent $1,000 on a PC back in the day just to play it. Yes, I know, the Xbox version was a thing, but I wanted the PC version. The Xbox version is still an awesome port in it's own right. I love Doom 3, and I always will.
