It is worth noting BFG has an exclusive campaign, so you'll go back to it anyway (unless you wanna port it to the og DOOM 3 via a mod)

How do I make Dhewm3 have omnidirectional look on controller ? I hardly can look at diagonals

#

Is there any other source port with better controller compatibility ?

#

Im using an xbox series controller

We need more info if you want any help

the one and only

#

I have DirectX installed though, running it both in compatibility mode and as administrator dont work either

#

running a source port version (dhewm 3), got 2 executable app in the files (dhewm3.exe and dhewm3_notools.exe)

#

i can run the 2nd one just fine however

Does the super shotgun in RoE work like the classic version or the shotgun in the main campaign?

robust estuary
#

You don't have to hug the enemies for it to be effective, if that's what you're asking

#

But you use 2 bullets at once and the reload time is so long that imo you're still better off just using the original shotgun

The Doom 3 Shotgun

⛧⛧⛧ Happy 20th birthday to Doom 3! ⛧⛧⛧
Seems like almost yesterday I was too afraid to play this game.

To celebrate the game's birthday, here is an analysis video about one of the staples of Doom 3 - THE SHOTGUN.
In this video I go into the shotgun's fire rate, reload animation, damage calculation and spread, among other things.

I hope you enj...

▶ Play video
#

Fundamentally, all of them work in a similar way. It's just that the spread of the d3 shotgun is double the spread of the d2 supershotgun horizontally and around triple the spread vertically

#

actually I take that back. The classic shotgun has no vertical spread. And the d3 shotguns, like all d3 weapons, have headshot bonus

scenic stratus
#

Though the artifact once upgraded kinda nullifies that

#

SSG still feels much better to use though

robust estuary
#

It's not unusable, but when RoE likes to spam you with the vulgars which are just faster stronger imps, a badly aimed shot can cost you a lot

#

I saved the SSG for dealing with the really big demons like mancubus or to get rid of a pinkie quickly (the 3 times they're used, anyways)

abstract fable
#

Also it's fun b hopping into enemy faces and using the regular Shotgun.

You can get a lot of combo/multi kills that way. The SSG is too slow and sluggish

acoustic acorn
#

It's a component of a fight but having the ssg as your only weapon is just too much reloading

abstract fable
acoustic acorn
#

The dynamic is slightly different though since the reload is mandatory. This goes for all weapons where ya gotta wait out the fire rate time before swapping.

guys i just started playing doom 3

#

Is not that bad as the people say

robust estuary
#

It isn't. DOOM 3 is a pretty fun game

crude badger
#

Until you get lost

robust estuary
#

Which rarely if ever happens, the game is pretty good at railroading you on where to go

#

Only time I can think of where you'd get lost is when you have to find that battery for the teleporter.

acoustic acorn
#

idk I be getting lost

quasi silo
#

I was stuck forever on Site 3 because I didn't get the bright idea of figuring out the thing on wheels ends up in the thing on wheels room

crude badger
robust estuary
#

Rarely. As in, not common at all

crude badger
#

I dunno about you but some of these levels can be confusing

robust estuary
#

Probably even less if you're smarter than I am and know how video games work.
I only got lost because I was too used to newer fps games where instead of actually running over and picking up the item, a cutscene would play as soon as you enter the room and do it for you. So I ran past it multiple times completely clueless

#

Only other time is maybe that puzzle where you have to have the crane lift a box so you can ride it to a higher area. Your first instinct upon seeing a machine moving usually isn't to jump on it and see what happens

I didn’t get lost once surprisingly

#

The game is fairly linear so there aren’t really many opportunities for that to happen imho

scenic stratus
#

There's also pretty decent signposting throughout the levels

copper junco
#

The worst part for me was it kind of feeling monotonous. There just wasn't enough variety in tone, mood, setpieces etc.
Still enjoyed it though

And now I understand why people like the D3 shotgun so much

Heya friends! I'm looking for some information on Doom 3. So my first time playing doom 3 was on the 360 via the BFG edition. I thought overall it was a pretty good game despite the backlash it has seemed to get upon release. However, a few of my friends over the years have said the original version is much better than BFG. Is there a video or somewhere I can look to see how true these statements and claims are?

I got a pc about a year ago, and just recently picked up a few of the Doom games given the sale. I noticed Doom 3 original came with BFG, so I'm thinking to myself maybe I'll just play both and compare them myself. I know in the og the flashlight was a separate item, then fans modded it to be an attachment, then bfg just pretty much took that mod and made it a default thing. Other than that, I don't know any of the game's differences

quasi silo
#

If you want a good video comparing them, your best luck is an old video by Gamestop(?), you're better out reading about it

worthy tangle
#

I'm completely fine with reading

cursive gulch
worthy tangle
#

Any source of information would be awesome

cursive gulch
#

And resurrection of evil is made shorter for no reason

#

They just cut out an entire section of the game for seemingly no reason

quasi silo
#

Major differences:
1- DOOM 3 2004 is more customizable
2- DOOM 3 BFG is easier to set up
3- BFG is easier as it is brighter and has more ammo
4- Some parts of RoE are cut down
5- BFG has an exclusive campaign for itself and DOOM II
6- BFG has achievements

robust estuary
#

The big things is that ammo pickups give you more ammo, and some level segments were cut for BFG edition. Hell is missing an entire arena fight, for example

worthy tangle
quasi silo
worthy tangle
#

Ah, all right

#

Really? Cut stuff or cut length? That's kinda.. a bummer. Makes me wanna play og first before doing BFG again, see if I'll notice anything dfiferent. Granted last time I played BFG was on Xbone about 4 years ago.

quasi silo
#

Minor stuff for BFG:
-Some characters have slight redesigns
-No console commands
-Can't skip cutscenes
-DOOM 3 BFG has no mods page

cursive gulch
#

How come everyone wanted there to be duct tape on Mars so they could use the flashlight and gun at the same time but the remaster is hated for doing exactly that

robust estuary
#

It's not a lot of cut, it's not like you're missing half of game or anything. But there are moments where it's different/shorter

quasi silo
cursive gulch
#

They even balanced it by making the flashlight have a battery... Even if it immediately recharges

robust estuary
#

Especially in RoE where one area has its entire gimmick changed. In the original, you have to keep refilling your oxygen tank and you get more from killing enemies. It becomes a panic of quickly getting through the area while also making sure not to run out of oxygen as you fight.
In BFG Edition, the whole oxygen aspect was cut. That area just plays like any regular area now

quasi silo
#

Another very minor difference is autosaves pause the game and you can't name your saves

#

Main menu is changed, logo is changed, UI is changed

worthy tangle
#

Interesting. Thank you so much for the information! This has been incredibly helpful. I think I'll play the original first since I never had the opportunity before, then after I play both og and RoE, I'll work on 100%ing BFG.

quasi silo
#

Good luck 100 percenting BFG, it's a Nightmare smugcaco

worthy tangle
#

I could only imagine

robust estuary
#

Gl hf
Both are still pretty good releases, BFG is great as a more fast paced/action-y take since it gives you a lot more ammo to play around with

quasi silo
#

You gotta do the Nightmare modes for each campaign for all achievements, and DOOM 3's NM is probably the hardest in the series

Most unique then?

#

Err well D1 + 2's is also unique

acoustic acorn
#

maybe if you restrict saves pretty hard on D3?

#

North America

#

map22 NM 100s took me the same time to beat as the entire D3 nightmare campaign

#

A lot of classic maps are way more nightmare beatable than people think. But levels with lots of backtracking, or visiting areas visible from where you visited already (e1m3, e1m9 (that middle area and corridors), e2m6, e4m1, e4m6, map22(with the chaingunners) are devastating

quasi silo
abstract fable

#

Said earlier I was likely wrong about calling it the hardest, but it is still hard

abstract fable
#

But I need to try regular D3 Nightmare sometime

quasi silo
#

I wanna do all the games on NM but that's next to impossible lol

abstract fable
#

But for easiest, Eternal has the easiest Nightmare to me. Or maybe 64's Watch Me Die is the easiest Nightmare equivalent

quasi silo
abstract fable
# quasi silo Watch Me Die is UV

I mean true.

If I remember right 64 has Nightmare but it's a secret difficulty that you have to use cheats or something to get.

But you can't do it on Console

quasi silo
crude badger
#

Would the SSG break the main campaigns balance if it was in?

acoustic acorn
#

It's quite powerful and one-shots a looot

abstract fable
acoustic acorn
#

nightmare isn't just -fast, -double_ammo, and -respawn, it also reduces the wakeup time of all monsters to 0

abstract fable
acoustic acorn
#

I think the main reason why it makes sense that it's not there is to make you try using the base shotgun

#

The base shotgun needs some practice to learn how to use

#

Since the ssg does more damage and has a tighter spread, there's less incentive to use the trademark weapon of the game

The sfx is beautiful

Random Doom 3 Question but have any of y’all downloaded that SDK patch from the patch scrolls website?

supple merlin
#

Is there an okay place to ask about Doom 3 mods or is there another channel I should use? After...a LONG time, I want to play again and so I am looking graphics/textures/gameplay mods to try out.

acoustic acorn
#

its not a social faux pax or anything but this also isn't where you'll find lots of mods. Start with dewm3 or dwem3 or whatever it's called perhaps

supple merlin
acoustic acorn
#

those are specific mods to try. doomworld is where most custom doom stuff lives, a forum

crude badger
#

I think 3 might have the best hell levels, anyone else?

robust estuary
#

In terms of design and looks, absolutely. 3 captures that mix of dark hellish landscapes with black magic-y ways of holding it together. Though I do miss the green castles of doom 1 hells

As far as gameplay...it's fine. Still great fun, but there's only so much that survival focused engine will let you get away with. Still think 1/2 outdoes it in that aspect

#

Except lost mission. Those hell levels alone make BFG edition worth playing, insanely fun

abstract fable
#

Atleast the depiction, aesthetics, atmosphere, and general presentation of it

acoustic acorn
#

survival focused? More like lighting focused

#

Doom3 being continuous play means that missing an item an hour ago, might mean that you're running around without it still. I was watching some doom 3 videos as I played and noticed that I should already have the chaingun. I've beaten the game a bunch of times but still don't really remember where stuff is

@icy saddle ik im one of the few people who like vsync but you'll wanna disable it for that and run borderless

no tearing and steady framerate

# vale wharf there was a forum called doom3world that had many of them but it went down years...

I have found a pretty good mod for Doom3: BFG called RBDoom3 on moddb. It looks great! I want to play but I just discovered my PS5 controller doesn't work and it has a custom .EXE so I can't use steam input to get around it. I have been trying to sign up for an account on doomworld to ask what can be done but the verification email just isn't being sent to me for some reason. There is this Doom BFA mod that claims Playstation controller support and sits on top of RBDoom3 but I haven't figured out how to get that working. It's tough times so far, but I haven't given up yet.

BFG edition sucks ass right?

I’d never recommend it over vanilla/dhewm 3 but it’s playable

It's still a decent way to play doom 3 if you're out of options

turbid mica

for a first time playthrough, go with the original?

If you're on pc, it's easy to give it widescreen. You just have to change a few values in the config .txt file and you'll be good to go

Dhewm 3 allows you to play widescreen without UI stretching

There a way to play with the bfg flashlight but have the original ammo pickups and stuff?

scenic stratus

The UI doesn't stretch when you do the config method either iirc

#

Or at least mine didn't

scenic stratus
#

Hm

robust estuary
#

Or, at the even less least, the little aiming reticle didn't stretch. If anything else was stretched, it wasn't noticeable enough to be a problem

“Compared to the original version of Doom3, dhewm3 has many bugfixes, supports EAX-like sound effects on all operating systems and hardware (via OpenAL Softs EFX support), has much better support for widescreen resolutions and has 64bit support.”

turbid mica
#

i see

#

so just drag and drop the files from doom 3 into dhewm

seems like its cutting a lot of stuff out

scenic stratus
#

drag stuff from dhewm3 into game folder

#

rename exe to doom3

turbid mica
#

oh ok

turbid mica
scenic stratus
#

everything inside the dhewm3 zip folder into your game folder

#

and rename the dhewm3 exe

#

that way you get to launch the source port from steam

turbid mica
#

ok thanks

#

wheres the config file to change screen resolution? my laptop has a bit of a weird one

scenic stratus
turbid mica
#

there was a lot of options, but not one for my size

scenic stratus
#

vanilla gives you a bunch of preset 4:3 resolutions in game

#

dhewm3 should have most modern widescreen sizes

turbid mica
#

1536x864

#

closest was like 1350x750

#

Oh I was just fed up with the main menu it looks fine

supple merlin
# scenic stratus to use steaminput with it you can rename mod executable to the same as the game'...

100% works. Thank you! I setup RBDoom3 as an non-steam app and things started working. Pretty cool so far! As for RBDoom3 vs dhewm3 I am think this is really vanilla D3 vs the BFG edition. I played D3 first on PS3 meaning the BFG edition are what my memories are tied to. I didn't even know there was a BFG edition and a vanilla edition until a few days ago when I started researching how to get D3 working on my PC with some level of improved graphics. Easier for PS3? Probably! but I am happy I can return to this and enjoy it more fully as an adult.

scenic stratus
#

theres a cfg file in game folder -> base (or something similar, cant check rn)

now a most vital question
where is super turbo turkey puncher 3?

crude badger

The common area iirc

#

Before shit goes down

turbid mica
#

are there any sound overhaul mods? all the guns sound like pea shooters

#

I never realized just how inconsistent the doom 3 shotgun was until the playthrough I'm doing now

#

This thing will either immediately kill a revenant or take two shots to kill a zombie at point blank range

acoustic acorn
#

don't mess around with "point blank = close", gotta play with contact-range.

#

IT's a melee

scenic stratus

Treat it like a melee weapon

So shotgun in doom 3 is not at all like the shotgun of doom 1&2, where it’s the workhorse of those games

#

Noted

scenic stratus
#

Yep

#

Still the workhorse cause it can one shot

scenic stratus
#

Just not as reliable

turbid mica
#

I see

#

I guess I meant how the shotgun is basically the best bet for long range engagements (assuming you don’t have plasma, rockets)

scenic stratus

Yeah it’s close range only. RPG is honestly my favorite weapon for long range

Machine gun is the mid range go to

DOOM 3 and DOOM BFG Edtion both have cheats through the console
DOOM 3 (2019 release, the one you're playing) doesn't have a console. No console, no cheats

pearl steppe
#

Ah okay so if i want to mess around with them i need thr 360 version of the game

robust estuary
#

It'd have to be a PC version of the game, I don't think consoles get access to the menu they need for cheat code inputs

quasi silo
pearl steppe
#

Oh okay i thought it would because everything i searched up that said i could said hold left trigger then press x y b a

quasi silo
#

Do you have a PC? You can install DOOM 3 on PC with MS Store if you bought it on Xbox

pearl steppe
#

Nope just a series x and ps5

quasi silo
#

Googled it, it's for the OG Xbox version of DOOM 3

#

But it's not for the console, it's for godmode

pearl steppe
#

I understand why they would remove cheats but gonna be honest thats kinda lame some of my favorite memories playing games when i was younger are of me and my brothers finding cheat codes in games and messing with them

quasi silo
#

Yeah that's true

scenic stratus
pearl steppe
#

I beat doom 3 like 10 years ago at a buddies we were trading off when one of us died but im not finding the game as fun so i wanted to use cheats to see if it would make me enjoy the game anymore tho i can suck it up i have achieved harder things in gaming then playing through doom 3

scenic stratus

you can get og d3 running on phone if youre brave enough to play on phone

scenic stratus
#

No thanks. But I would play Doom 3 on my steam deck.

crude badger
#

Ill play it on my gba

scenic stratus
#

Why not go extreme and say your fridge or calculator?

Nah I can just play it on an arcade cabinet instead

PC vs console is largely a thing of preference, PC has more games ultimately though and more freedom

robust estuary

And consoles have the benefit of being a lot easier to use and less of a headache

Yes it is my preference picking Linux mint PC. I used to play on consoles long time ago ,but anymore I prefer PC.

What version of doom 3 had doom 1 and 2

crude badger

Bfg edition
The original bfg edition anyway iirc

#

Not to mention exclusives thats worth getting a console

@scenic stratus @quasi silo

scenic stratus

I understand that but I have a few games that are Sony exclusives. I don't need to play right away, I can wait for PC port.

#

Lost mission worth playing?

quasi silo
crude badger
#

Isnt it just scrapped content from the main game

robust estuary
#

They took scrapped levels but turned it into it's own little campaign with its own story, so sort of

#

That being said it's absolutely worth playing. To make a comparison, imagine when people say RoE is what doom 3 should've been with more action and fast-paced shooting
Now Lost Mission is just that but for RoE, even more of that

#

Every doom 3 expansion goes farther and farther away from the original slow adventure of doom 3 its kind of funny in hindsight

tawdry pulsar
#

It really is

noble lichen
#

RoE is really cool, there are some filler-y parts but its nice and short

I don't think its better than the base game, but its fun

Doom 3 on the Original Xbox is an incredible port. Here is why.

Doom 3 on the original OG Xbox is a port of the original PC game from 2004. However, just exactly how do you port a game from the PC that demanded lots of memory and a fast CPU and GPU, to an OG Xbox with a 733Mhz CPU and just 64Mb of RAM. In today's episode, I talk to an ex-Vicarious Visions developer who lets me know how it was done, and how D...

For me the graphics were terrible it looked like Mario 64 but a little worse and it’s what I seen

You need glasses

robust estuary
#

I can understand not vibing with doom 3s darker muddier textures but comparing it to Mario 64 is...definitely a new one to hear

unkempt wraith
#

the problem with doom 3 is the sound

#

none of the guns sound loud and the shotgun reload sounds terrible

#

the plasma gun sounds okay but every other gun sounds like a ubisoft game

acoustic acorn
#

shotgun reload sounds good.

#

but most weapons sound trash. chaingun is kinda ok

acoustic acorn
#

rocket sounds like a whistle. machine gun is weirdly quiet. plasma sounds like bubbles

strange geode
#

I suppose it's time to give dhewm3 a shot

#

I guess I should've known that BFG was weirder than I originally thought with that new ssg reload sound in Doom 2

acoustic acorn
#

that's criminal

scenic stratus

Get Trent reznor sound pack.

I kinda think bfg edition was trying to please people that were never going to vibe with doom 3

Dhewm 3 is a great choice for source port btw

DOOM and DOOM II 360 both made it onto the program launch day

q4 is under activision iirc

It's like a divorced parents' child nobody loves

shame cause it doesnt have a proper source port like dhewm3

Yeah I always found that weird

theres one or two ports out there presuming how it works based on d3's engine release

but theres bugs, seems the original release is the way for now

quasi silo

I don't remember if it works, I'm not even sure it's out

how about heretic. That's a game that sounds vaguely interesting as someone who's played doom but not necessarily so much that I'll do some wacky dos shenanigans to play it

Half of the series is in IP limbo

Plasma rifle shooting and reload sound amazing.

Also the Artifact mode slow motion makes most of the SFX sound really nice on RoE

I loaded up dhewm3 for the first time and skipped a cutscene
Words can't describe the amount of bliss I feel not needing to re-watch everything again

strange geode
#

So my gun sounds are extremely quiet in dhewm3 for some reason. I can hear everything else fine except the firing sound effects

Shooting the shotgun just sounds so bad with this issue, and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it. The solutions I found on Google aren't working for me, unless I'm not doing something right

scenic stratus
strange geode
#

Thats one of them that i tried. Unless im just doing something wrong

#

Yeah nothings working for me

I found a fix

Theres a command "s_scaleDownAndClamp" which is used to reduce all volume to prevent clipping. But it really cranked the weapon sounds down so i turned it off
Ill just turn volume down manually

it being dark doesn't mean it was rushed. Do you think that turning the lights on full bright is more time intensive? It's a game not a house

feral relic

I said it feels rushed, not that it actually was.. I feel like they dimmed the lights even more, added more enemies, added some generic d3 rooms and boom, dlc

#

imfo d3 campaign is far more better

acoustic acorn
#

A d3 historian can correct me, but to my knowledge, RoE was never released as a purchaseable DLC. But rather an extra campain free with purchase of Doom3.

feral relic

if so, then as free campaign it is ok then JohnKane

I will admit that the grabber is kinda meh. Weapons are already powerful enough that having this reactive tool isn't that effective. Maybe speedrunners do crazy stuff. idk. But I never found it good

They are putting old activision games back on microsoft store, like heretic and hexen 1 and 2. I bet heretic 2 will be relisted since bethesda and activision are all from the same company now

#

No reason for legal disputes now

quasi silo
#

I like the optimism but Heretic and Hexen being on MS Store means nothing :p

tall wolf

If heretic 2 gets relisted on ms store, it will be relisted on steam too

quasi silo

There is nothing implying it will. I know it's logical that it will be up someday with both parties being under the same roof but nothing says it will be anytime soon

tall wolf

Yes, I mean, in the future

But it is logical to think that

quasi silo

Yeah, I can see that happening, and I hope it does

Just that Heretic dropping onto MS Store means nothing. I want to get into the series soon though

What I want too is Quake 3 Arena and Quake 4 get a Nightdive remaster

Luckily QAA exists for the first one

Only for xbox. But a Quake 3 remaster for all platforms would be good too

Yes. If they port QAA it's all I need to be satisfied

A game that also needs a remaster imo is Wolf3D

But as I discussed before, I don't find it likely

Tbh do both at once, just get Nerve to port Wolf3D

Whats the difference between BFG edition and the normal?

robust estuary
#

BFG Edition was a later rerelease for 360/ps3, so it has some changed lighting (notably making everything a bit brighter) and some cleaner textures
The flashlight is no longer a separate item in BFG edition, so the flashlight is closer to how it was originally supposed to be (In the original release, the flashlight is a separate item due to hardware constraints)
Ammo pickups give you more ammo in BFG, so ammo isn't as scarce
BFG Edition also changes and even omits some sections, notably in the Resurrection of Evil DLC

noble lichen
#

BFG isn’t a bad version, but it is very different

#

Also isn’t movement speed tweaked? Or did I make that up

robust estuary
#

I'm not sure on that one, I didn't notice it if so

noble lichen
#

I think you are faster in bfg but don’t quote me

robust estuary
noble lichen
#

I think bfg was trying to get people onboard with doom 3 who were never going to be into it

#

Doom 3 is a vibe and personally I do prefer OG

robust estuary
#

If you play Sonic games for an example, think like how Sonic Colors Ultimate is largely the same game as the original, but easier due to infinite lives and the tails assist feature. That's basically what BFG Edition is to Doom 3

noble lichen
#

I think the goal was more to make it more action based and downplay the more horror and lite survival elements

#

It is easier as a result

robust estuary
#

A rerelease of the game that's more focused on changing aspects that people weren't a fan of with the original release (being to dark, mainly)

noble lichen
#

The darkness is like the best part 😭

#

I’m thinking about those sections where it’s pitch black besides one of the spider drones with a flashlight, I think having a mounted flashlight yourself would really ruin that, I don’t recall if they tweaked that somehow

robust estuary
#

It is, but I can see why some people may not like it as much. Even Carmack kind of wished the game was brighter in hindsight

noble lichen
#

Only a very small number of games had that deep shadowy aesthetic

#

It is very of it’s time, or rather what people in it’s time thought “ahead of its time” was

robust estuary
#

And tbf even nowadays it still looks pretty good

gusty hazel
#

Notably the ammo change was really odd

noble lichen
#

It looks unique for sure

gusty hazel
#

because Doom 3 already dumps tons of ammo on you

noble lichen
#

Nothing looks like it anymore at all

gusty hazel
#

you actually have to try to run out of ammo

robust estuary
#

I know quake 4 and (I think) prey was made on the same engine, but I haven't played either of those so I'm not sure if those similarly look as good

gusty hazel
#

yet BFG didnt do anything about the monster count to compensate for that massive ammo boost (50% extra!)

noble lichen
#

Quake 4 is kind of like knock off doom 3 aesthetically

robust estuary
gusty hazel
#

not like it was necessary

#

Doom 3's monsters are kinda squishy

robust estuary
#

True

gusty hazel
#

especially with how crazy accurate the machinegun is for headshot dumping

#

or charging into melee and oneshotting most enemies with the shotgun

noble lichen
#

Resurrection adds those green dudes and I swear they use them more than imps

noble lichen
robust estuary
#

Pretty sure after the first few levels you don't see an imp again until hell

noble lichen
#

Those guys are annoying lol

robust estuary
#

They become the new imps for most of the dlc which is fine, they're a bit more interesting to fight

noble lichen
#

Door imps can jump off a cliff too

noble lichen
gusty hazel
#

also armor in D3 is so whack

protects so little

I know this is for doom 3 but isn’t that one doom movie based of it doom 3 aswell?

robust estuary
#

Ehhhh, not really. It just happened to be made around the time of doom 3

#

But it doesn't incorporate doom 3 into it at all outside of the pinkie design iirc

tall wolf
#

Do you guys know how to run Doom 3 through the Boom 3 core from Retroarch ?

#

I know how to load files onto retroarch cores but there's 8 or 9 doom 3 files. So how do I run all of them ?

gusty hazel
#

Wasn’t doom 3 only on OG Xbox console wise

#

I can’t imagine or suggest emulating that well

robust estuary
#

Yep. Doom 3 could only fit on the original xbox, and even then they had to make a lot of compromises to do so

#

Afaik xbox emulation has always (and still continues to be) incredibly tricky, so if you're able to run retroarch you're better off just running the original PC release of doom 3

gusty hazel
tall wolf
#

Not emulator

#

Retroarch has some stuff like this

robust estuary
#

Ah. Not sure then, maybe see what files dewm3 (different source port, but may work similar) uses? Maybe boom 3 uses the same files

scenic stratus

Dewm3 works great IMO. And on Linux mint.

BFG legit downgrades the lighting and makes the already insane ammo you get even worse with a 50% boost

wet gorge
#

this is the best place i can think of, with all of the updates the classic games have been getting, why hasn't doom 3 on steam gotten one that makes it fuction exactly the same as the console re release?

gusty hazel
wet gorge
# gusty hazel What do you mean, that’s basically bfg edition

not quite, if you compare the trophies and achievements, bfg edition on steam does have all of the same achievements as the trophies on doom 3 on playstation, but it does have additional achievements, a good amount of them are realy no longer needed as we have doom + doom II recently

#

i'm currently re downloading doom 3 on my ps5 so i can properly compare

acoustic acorn
#

it's ok. It's good.

wet gorge
unkempt wraith

doesn't BFG havent a dumb flashlight you dont evne need to hold

and like 100 times more ammo eeverywhere

wet gorge
unkempt wraith

what's different they're both doom 3

#

except on xbox the box is metal

wet gorge
# unkempt wraith what's different they're both doom 3

1: i'm talking about digital versions, and 2: i'm still redownloading doom 3 on my ps5, i will be able to make a proper comparison, but from the videos i've seen, the playstation version only has doom 3 bfg, while on steam, it has doom 3 bfg AND doom 1 and 2

#

if you have doom 3 and doom + doom ii both on steam, you have two copies of doom 1 and 2

unkempt wraith
#

I have like 10 copies of doom 1 and 2 on steam somehow

#

doom 3 on steam was the real one until bfg came out

wet gorge
unkempt wraith
#

you gotta buy a key if you want that one now

#

they only give it to you on gog if you buy BFG you get doom 3 free

#

that's like the only place left you can get it

wet gorge
#

i'm talking digitally, like if you went into the playstation or steam store, and search doom, there's now only 1 version of doom 3 avalible on each, but they fuction differently

#

steam version has 1 and 2 built in, that is no longer needed for one

unkempt wraith
#

that's how every game is

#

ever since the genesis all the games were differnet on every console

#

it's always been like that

#

you just play whatever version you have

wet gorge
#

face palms

wet gorge
unkempt wraith
#

doom 1 is very different on every console its on

wet gorge
#

how so?

unkempt wraith
#

the graphics are really bad on SNES and the music is really good on 3DO

wet gorge
#

face palms again

#

no snes or 3do (do you mean 3ds?), i mean playstation 4/5 and xbox, the LATEST versions for those systems

unkempt wraith
#

no panasonic 3DO

wet gorge
#

never heard of it

unkempt wraith
#

wtf it's like the 2nd most famous version of the game

#

becky heineman programmed the game from scratch in 10 weeks

wet gorge
#

again, counting the LATEST versions of the games, ps4/5 and steam have DOOM + DOOM II as a single game, 2016 and eternal are exactly the same between console and steam, 64 is exactly the same between ps4/5 and steam, but doom 3 is not

unkempt wraith
#

master levels and final doom are delisted too

gusty hazel
#

Have you considered they just don’t care that much about doom 3

wet gorge
unkempt wraith
#

man this sucks the games are just gone from my steam library wtf

#

they can just remove games now

wet gorge
gusty hazel
#

They are tho

unkempt wraith
#

I don't mean the 2nd disc with the 3000 wads

#

that one was never on steam

#

i think it's like 28 levels

wet gorge
#

we are not talking about any discs!

unkempt wraith
#

well master levels is missing the maximum doom disc and the quake games are all missing the music CDs

#

if you play those the games are silent

wet gorge
#

eye twitch not a disc version!

unkempt wraith
#

it's the disc version with the CD music removed

gusty hazel
#

Is your only gripe that steam bfg edition doesn’t have the original doom games anymore?

wet gorge
gusty hazel
#

Ignore it then?

unkempt wraith
#

why do you not want it to have more games

#

it's just the LFG edition if it doesnt have more stuff in it

gusty hazel
#

Like this really sounds like you making a mountain out of a molehill

wet gorge
unkempt wraith
#

but you dont have the dos versions

wet gorge
#

dos?

unkempt wraith
#

MS dos

wet gorge
#

oh, the old version you mean, no, these are modern updates

unkempt wraith
#

I didn't buy these ones I bought the dos ones

wet gorge
#

that explains the confusion

unkempt wraith
#

I bought the dos dooms in like 2007 now they're just gone

wet gorge
unkempt wraith
#

they're not optimized noen of the keyborad shortcuts even work

#

f2 does nothing

#

you can't even hide the doom guys face

wet gorge
#

getting off topic, this is the channel for doom 3

acoustic acorn
# unkempt wraith but you dont have the dos versions

it's not a separate purchase. If you have the modern doom port, you can also play on dos. It takes some setup on your part to install dosbox but it's not like you need to specifically buy another version of the game for dosbox

#

a legal purchase of the game comes with doom2.wad. combine that with the opensource doom2.exe and throw it in dosbox boom boom

unkempt wraith
#

so what's wrong with the ps4 version of doom 3 if it's updated

acoustic acorn
#

what's wrong with it? I mean it'll be the bfg version but that's less of a problem and more of just another version

unkempt wraith
#

no I mean what's the problem if they're not the same game

wet gorge
acoustic acorn
#

I'm not saying there's a problem

wet gorge
#

the steam version of doom 3 does not have the fuction to link to bethesda, and has doom 1 and 2 built in, which is redundant when you have DOOM + DOOM II also on steam

#

it's fuctionally not the same as console

unkempt wraith
#

the other guy was saying theres a massive problem

#

like just buy whatever version you want

wet gorge
#

it's redundant

#

it's why all of the other doom related stuff was removed from steam, they've been packaged into DOOM + DOOM II

scenic stratus
scenic stratus
scenic stratus
#

go on launch options, they updated the dos version too

unkempt wraith
#

oh wow awesome

scenic stratus
#

you select which game you want at the start

wet gorge
scenic stratus
#

youre not missing out on any content though

#

you can launch straight into doom 3 with a launch parameter iirc

#

and steam d3 comes with the original which is the best one anyway

wet gorge
#

i didn't say i was missing out on anything, i was bringing it up in the first place because i find it odd that it hasn't cought up with the other games on steam

gusty hazel
#

why should it

#

there's legit no serious reason to even update it at all

#

and as mentioned before, you get the original anyway

wet gorge

doom 1, 2, and 64 all got their updates/upgrades on steam and console at the same time, but 3 only got the update/upgrade on console

#

it's just odd

gusty hazel
#

again, not much of a reason to

#

you are literally not missing out on any content

#

basically splitting hairs at this point

wet gorge
#

not the best at explaining my thought proccess

wet gorge
# gusty hazel *you are literally not missing out on any content*

not me spesificly, but just in general, let's say someone doesn't have any consoles to play the games on, gets the doom games including eternal, but sadly, they can't get the eternal skin from linking doom 3 as the only steam version can't be linked to bethesda

unkempt wraith
#

barely anyone even updates their console games in the first place

#

on steam you just dont have a choice they do it for you

wet gorge
gusty hazel
#

oh no, a cosmetic skin

wet gorge
gusty hazel
#

also its... literally just a red recolor of the classic doomguy skin

#

wow

wet gorge
#

ok, i think i got my wording down

#

i wasn't pointing it out becasue i'm saying it needs to be updated, i'm more of pointing it out because i'm confused why it wasn't, hopefully my wording makes sence

quasi silo
#

DOOM 3 2019 is also on Steam. You have no way to buy It anymore however

#

But just get the MS Store or EGS version

quasi silo
#

I can understand both parties here. Yeah it's insignificant but odd it's not there. But as I said, it's on MS Store and EGS

unkempt wraith
#

what's different in doom 3 2019 than BFG and 2003

crude badger
#

It runs fine

quasi silo
unkempt wraith
#

how did it come out in 2004

#

that means half life 2 came out like 2 months later

#

nobody had time to be impressed by the graphics

quasi silo
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

It's like the "holy shit, two cakes!" meme for me

gusty hazel
#

Metroid prime 2 came out within a day of HL2

unkempt wraith
#

that's crazyu

#

i remembered it being doom 3 and then half life 2 and then fear

remote solar
#

I must say, the Hellknight in 3 is my absolute favorite design in the series.
It's just like a beefy Xenomorph, lol

rich ember

#

doom 3 indirect lighting mod when

unkempt wraith
#

all the designs in 3 are pretty solid

#

the cacodemon shoudl have looked more like 1 and 2

azure jolt
#

Doom 3 is S tier just finished the game amazing game

unkempt wraith
#

yeah it just needed way more hell levels

#

and more monsters from the past games

#

and a better haircut for the main character

gusty hazel
#

It needed some tougher enemies in general

#

Everyone does too quick and even in vanilla 3 you get way too much ammo

#

Why does my shotgun carry like 250 shells in reserve

unkempt wraith
#

that sounds like the BFG version

frigid brook
gusty hazel
#

Bfg only amped the ammo pickups by 50%

#

There’s still pickups everywhere and the ammo caps are insane

#

500 cells including the fully loaded magazine

#

600 machinegun bullets

#

Like 500 or so chaingun bullets

#

320 shells

#

There’s a reason doom 3 is the easiest

remote solar
#

Gotta say I love the story and atmosphere, and I like the idea the main villain is full human, corrupted by forces of hell

gusty hazel
#

atthe point where you're in the toxin vent area

#

This is finally starting to feel like an actiony doom game somewhat

remote solar
#

I always try to kill the zombies without vanish them from overkill damage
I think it's more silly seeing the demons sparking away like vampires staring into the sun

strange geode
#

I would agree if we didn't get Joe the Skeleton because of it

#

I don't think Joe is angry 🤔
Though he very well could be since you have to intentionally kill him for that glitch

DOOM 3 phobos labs in ROE is my fav map

Respectfully who’s favorite doom game is doom 3😭

crude badger
#

Plenty

tough dawn
#

aw man

hollow rover
#

ehhh

gusty hazel
#

And bfg straight up downgraded the lighting hard

#

Less sources in general

heavy sandal
acoustic acorn
# hollow rover ehhh

no. The tech and lighting is very impressive -- but classic doom holds up better visually

quasi silo
quasi silo
#

I'm gonna add it's a bit of a dumb question because of how DOOM 3 is different from the rest

misty abyss
frigid brook
#

Honestly, Doom 3 was the first Doom game I played ever in the series. We barely got ourselves a PC a year before 3 came out, and no, I didn't know of the series until then.

acoustic acorn
#

Doom3 was instrumental in the development in lighting tech and graphics expectations. In some ways, that's awesome where graphics potential is higher. In others, the expectation that everythin is high res ray traced fancy realistic lighting can be detrimental. What if we expected doom2 to be like that? Having the freedoom to not be realistic, abstract, or lower res is important for artistic license and dev time

void hamlet
#

Agreed

acoustic acorn
#

Every bit of lighting in classic doom is handmade so to speak, it's manually placed. That gives incredible freedom to level designers.

void hamlet
#

and in my opinion perfectly place lighting kind adds its own realism

acoustic acorn
#

How

#

it's not doom 3's fault at all that triple A devs like pouring money into the realistic graphics department though. just an externality

void hamlet
#

DOOM 3 is my fav game

#

Doom 3 also adds its own type of lightning that you barely see in classic doom

acoustic acorn
#

doom3 has limited ray tracing which is not seen at all in classic

void hamlet
#

Like a mean doom 3 lighting mixes with the dark witch you can barley come across in classic doom

#

and btw my fav doom 3 map is Phobos labs

azure jolt
#

Doom 3 deserves a remake such an amazing game just got done beating it and all the dlc today

outer hare
#

i havent even started yet

#

i played every game but 3, ill start it after i get all d64 achievements

crude badger
#

Anyone else forget grenades exist in this game

The bfg Edition has no Online support

Wish it did

In Pc do not have it

#

hi, can someone help me with the Doom 3 BFG multiplayer achievements? I'm on steam

worthy summit
#

How well does this game hold up nowadays

fallen jewel
#

Literally the model detail is the only real criticism anymore

#

In terms of everything else it's still peak

acoustic acorn
frigid brook
fallen jewel
gusty hazel
#

About the only graphical criticism is bfg ruins the lighting in places

#

Thankfully doom 3 has a source port

cursive gulch
azure jolt
gusty hazel
#

to make it scarier the enemies need to be a lot less squishy and ammo needs a serious tightening

remote solar
#

Feel sorry to crush the scientist in the reactor chamber, just for the trophy lol

arctic pumice
#

My friends all said that Doom 3 wasn't scary anymore, I started out with the intention of just rip and tearing the demons again... but.... this shit is so fucking scary WTF

Nah u trippin

# scenic stratus Better than being eaten by a zombie or a demon

It looked extremely cruel. Especially since his remains were still twitching badly. Ultimately, it probably doesn't matter. After death, the souls of these poor people obviously face a much worse fate.

Just wondering why my room is getting invaded by demons after that. It was like they're trying to punish me for this crime 🤣

scenic stratus

scenic stratus

pit?

arctic pumice
#

What I meant was, that's the most appropriate word. That's probably an error 😅

scenic stratus
#

Ohh oki

arctic pumice
#

I think the word I was trying to say was fit. Sorry. English is not my native language.

scenic stratus
#

Nah you good

arctic pumice
#

Tysm

scenic stratus
#

I'm bad at English too even though it is my native language :3

gusty hazel
#

doom 3 had some horror at the start

#

but it kinda fell off later once you got a machinegun

#

the teleporting monsters are a joke since their wakeup animation means you can just bullrush and shotgun point blank

gusty hazel
#

Sarge beaten trivially

#

Now this is actually starting to feel like Doom!

#

multiple monsters, ammo for the fun guns

vale wharf
#

there are doom 3 mods that add new levels and campaigns

gusty hazel
#

Yea but only really for OG doom

#

Well doom 3

#

There’s an episode 1 recreation

gusty hazel
#

base doom 3 has been beaten

vale wharf
#

sounds like vsync / refresh rate you're using ingame doesn't match your screen's refresh rate

#

check video or graphics settings ingame ig

gusty hazel
#

Are you running bfg edition or dhewm 3 source port

zealous blaze
#

The first suspect for that behavior is lighting. See what you can do about minimizing them as much as possible and test. It can't hurt to try.

gusty hazel
#

I'd be running that via the source port for modern OSes

scenic stratus
#

dont vsync it

#

run dhewm3 borderless and it wont have tearing

frosty holly
gusty hazel
#

fucking GODSEND

reef elbow
#

why does doom 3 not open

gusty hazel
reef elbow
#

so I THINK the original

#

it opens up and then a little blue window pops up for a second

gusty hazel
#

that would be BFG then more likely

#

and no idea about gamepass

reef elbow
reef elbow
#

sorry that took so long

gusty hazel
#

yeah no idea about that one

reef elbow
blissful gulch
reef elbow
gusty hazel
#

have you tried all 3

#

BFG should run off the bat

reef elbow
#

how do i pick which version i'm stupid af

quasi silo
#

I assume it was a harmless mistake because of how the DOOM 3 Steam page and the DOOM 3 Xbox page are identical. But no, @reef elbow, you can't change versions. What I recommend to try is attempt to get a screenshot of the blue window as it is the id Tech family of engine's dev screen. It might be the fix to your issue

reef elbow
quasi silo
#

Huh, weird, but good you got it working. Have fun with this game

reef elbow
quasi silo
#

First playthrough may take you a while yeah, but push through, it gets less and less confusing and more and more fun

arctic pumice
#

I have a question, do enemies respawn in Doom 3 on Nightmare difficulty?

quasi silo
#

No

arctic pumice
#

I see. Thank you!

gusty hazel
#

its a completely different nightmare in general

#

Your health is constantly dropping and you take high damage but you have the soul cube from the very first second

#

"The Marine takes 350% of the base damage. All med kits are removed from the game, and the player's health steadily drains until it's 25 or below. To restore health, the player must use the Soul Cube (Artifact in RoE), or health stations. Player starts the game with respective artifact in their possession. Number of monsters is the same as on Veteran skill.

#

So you're frail as shit, but you constantly have the soul cube avaliable anytime to oneshot an incoming toughie for health

#

like say... the pinky demons

quasi silo
#

Also worth mentioning all medkits are gone

gusty hazel
#

that was in the blurb i posted yes

scenic stratus
quasi silo
gusty hazel
#

also outside of door imps, doom 3's monsters are relatively easy to avoid

#

oh right, Z-Sec too

scenic stratus
#

The Door Imps you should be familiar with

gusty hazel
#

Z-Sec is going to be your main problem

#

near everyone else can be handled with

#

Hell, having the Soul Cube so early also means you can oneshot Vagary

scenic stratus
#

I mean (at least on BFG edition to my knowledge) you have to beat the game once to unlock Nightmare

#

So knowing where the imps are shouldn't be too bad

gusty hazel
#

and any hell knights you come across

quasi silo
#

You have to beat the game once to unlock Nightmare on every version

#

I'd use the BFG a lot more if I went through NM, I always save up cells for nothing

scenic stratus
#

I even got the BFG early from that one NPC you can kill

#

It took... quite a bit

gusty hazel
#

however you only get 4 ammo with it

scenic stratus
#

Yeah, but it's something

gusty hazel
#

you only actually start finding ammo for it wayyyyy later in Delta labs

quasi silo
#

Wait whut? You can get the BFG from an NPC?

gusty hazel
#

there's an exploit to kill Swaan's bodyguard when they're both running in a hallway below you

#

letting you nab the BFG

#

however you only have the stock 4 ammo in it

scenic stratus
#

It's really tight timing

quasi silo
#

Never knew

scenic stratus
quasi silo
#

Neato

gusty hazel
#

also lmao i thought base doom 3 was easy

#

RoE just hands you elder god tier tools off the bat

#

Grabber lets you one shot imps and those blue fire things with a single thrown back ball

scenic stratus
#

How's the SSG?

gusty hazel
#

and time slow alone just lets you casually walk up to everyone in the room and oneshot them

scenic stratus
#

Awful spread I assume

gusty hazel
#

same exact horizontal spread

#

but double the pellets

#

so its actually a lot more consistent

scenic stratus
#

Amazing

gusty hazel
#

but yeah slow time is absurd

scenic stratus
#

There's a time slow?

gusty hazel
#

casually jog up to every Z-Sec in the room and shotgun them point blank

#

yes, the artifact

scenic stratus
#

Ah

gusty hazel
#

can get 3 powers, you get time slow in the first hour of the expansion

#

the artifact replaces the soul cube

scenic stratus
#

I haven't played RoE yet

gusty hazel
#

and you also get a new 1 weapon that can grab objects and throw them

#

This also includes enemy fireballs (toss back to oneshot) and Lost Souls (who die instantly when you launch them

scenic stratus
gusty hazel
#

it basically is a gravity gun yeah

scenic stratus
#

Throwing lost souls around sounds so fun

quasi silo
gusty hazel
#

meant to say within the first hour

quasi silo
#

You can hold them and walk up to an enemy, they still do damage even when held

gusty hazel
#

and the bodies you get artifact charges from are everywhere

quasi silo
#

It's a lot more consistent

gusty hazel
#

you get them from any dead human corpse instead of 5 kills

scenic stratus
#

I assume RoE is much better than the base Doom 3?

gusty hazel
#

eh not exactly

#

the new tools make the already easy game trivial

#

0 danger from lost souls ever now

#

thanks to the grabber

#

slow time alone lets you trivialize any remotely multi monster encounter

#

and the SSG lets you straight up oneshot even more enemies than ever before

scenic stratus
#

Hell Knights even?

gusty hazel
#

no, but now revvies can be reliably oneshotted

quasi silo
#

I think I oneshotted a HK once

#

I'm not sure though

gusty hazel
#

but yeah, the SSG is just a straight upgrade over the shotgun by every metric

#

hardly any extra reload time, shells are still everywhere, less vertical spread means more pellets hit on harget

acoustic acorn
#

Oh for doom3, yeah that thing is really good oops. I was thinking d2

gusty hazel
#

yee, its basically a straight upgrade

crude badger
#

The doom 3 ssg sounds tho 🔥

arctic pumice
#

Holy fuck I got jumpscared in bathroom lol

arctic pumice
#

Yep

#

#

DOOM 3 jumpscared me so hard one time, i actually got toothpain from it, idk, some blood vessel bursted inside it or something xD

#

but that stuck in my head ever since

keen finch
#

I deleted doom 3 cuz i thought it was boring but ima give it another chance
