Kotaku - I've always felt strangely about Doom 3. On the one hand, it was a fairly revolutionary game, graphically. The lighting was striking. On the other hand, it looked kind of gross: humans in the game were starkly lit with strange, bump-mapped faces and odd, robotic movements.
Github’s ‘Codes4Fun’ has released a really interesting mod for the BFG Edition of Doom 3. This mod adds HTC Vive and actual motion controller support to Doom 3, letting PC gamers experience id Software’s shooter in VR.
this game is amazing amazing experience in VR. I never had so much scary goose bump moment in VR or any previous game.

This was one of my favorite games. There are some truly amazing mods out there that make this relic look better than most new games released today. If one is to release an ancient game like this at least take note from mods that are currently available and build up from that level. This version doesnt even come close to said mods and really doesn't add much visually from the original. Adding old doom, 3D support and some extremely minor clean up is all I can see and it just isn't good enough in my opinion. A missed opportunity and a wasted effort to revive a classic. If you cant or wont do it right then why do it at all? I wouldn't pay for this. Pass.
With the glorious, standout exception of Dishonored, Bethesda has fallen flat on their face as a publisher. They should have recognized id's laziness on this project and intervened until it was right for the fans. The fact that there are virtually no reviews either, is testament to their lack of faith in the game. Shameful.
id software has been heading towards a downward spiral for the last decade. Doom 3 was shamelessly repetitive in its design and Rage fell plat on its face. Basically a corridor shooter that was disguised as an open world game. Not to mention their new id tech 5 engine on a technical level was a complete mess.
The visual detail and presentation still stands out even today.
But i guess the same could be applied for games like Jet Set Radio HD, Shenmue 1/2 and Dead or Alive 2 ultimate (the game looks amazing for its time http://youtu.be/O6UkzTdYZaM... ) for original xbox.
And there´s many more games from these last 10-15 years that still hold up very well.
