Doom 3: BFG Edition Gets a Release Date and Price

Doom 3: BFG Edition Gets a Release Date and Price

Clashing with some titans

Written by osubluejacket on 19 June 12 at 19:19

Just a word of warning, kiddos, October is going to be a brutal month for your wallet. Bethesda compounded the future financial distress today, by announcing the release date for Doom 3: BFG Edition.

The massive collection (containing Doom, Doom II: Hell on Earth, DOOM 3, and DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil, as well as the ‘Lost Mission') will cost $39.99 and drops on October 16th in North America and October 19 in Europe.

If you're curious about which other releases might be fighting for your funds in October, I'll save you a spot of trouble and share the high points: Dishonored, Resident Evil 6, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, and a little game called Assassin's Creed III.

With it being summer, it's probably prudent to start a lemonade stand, begin mowing neighborhood lawns, and up the love to your significant other so that they forgive you for the October "games budget".

I am very tempted getting it but I just hope that you can toggle the ability to toggle to shot and hold your flashlight at the same time.

How does this work?
I presume it is all on a disc? So will this give Doom and Doom II: Hell on Earth another achievement list or will this Game have 1 achievement list like The Orange Box ?

It should have been 'a little game called Resident Evil 6' as that's the highlight of the month in my eyes, Assassins will be ace but no Resi.

Any word on wether this'll be co-op or not as with Resi and Dishonoured it's going to be an expensive month.

I say it will have its own list of achievements.

The way it seems, I feel like it's going to be just like the Resident Evil Archives collection. You probably get DOOM 3 on disc and download codes for DOOM and DOOM II, no new achievements just the same old lists. However...they could give them new achievements if they were feeling generous.

Are Doom and Doom 2 going to be separate from the arcade titles? I already have 10/12 unlocked for Doom 2 and 11/12 unlocked for Doom. I'd hate to buy those two games again only to not be able to unlock the Achievements again. If they aren't they why bother buying it? I already have the games downloaded and I unlocked most of the Achievements so what would be the point of buying both of those two titles again?

I'd LOVE for this all to be on a disc, but this is modern day gaming so there's NO chance of that happening.

Really excited for this. Doom 3 was actually a pretty exciting, action-packed game if you played it quick and fearlessly instead of tiptoeing around dark corners like a scaredycat. Having local co-op is a great bonus.
