Doom is a franchise with 3 diferent moments. The action horror phase with Doom 1 & 2, the survival horror with Doom 64 and Doom 3. Now we are in the power fantasy phase with Doom (2016), Doom Eternal and the upcoming Doom: The Dark Ages and ALL the phases of this francise are ABSOLUTE MARTERPIECES!!! I'm Brazillian so please forgive my poor english 😅
Don’t forget they almost butchered this beloved franchise back in 2013 with that canceled Doom Modern Warfare copy cat pile of crap! thankfully it never got released because doom would probably become another failed franchise like halo if it was allowed to be shipped! This timeline we live in has the doom franchise done right! I enjoyed doom 3 for what it was but really appreciate the lore Bethesda added with doom 2016 and doom eternal! Probably the only good thing that’s come out from Bethesda these last couple of years!
This was the game to get back in 2004. There was a large audience who were excited for this game. I was one of them. Coming from Doom 1 and 2, this had people hyped. I remember waiting in line over night at Best Buy for this game release. And then the movie came out and people starting playing Battlefield 2. lol
It was also a game that pushed hardware pretty significantly at the time. I remember reading articles talking about system readiness and upgrades one could perform to get their PCs ready for good game performance. Doom 3 was a big graphical leap forward for PC gaming at the time, just as Crysis was in 2007.
the nice thing about Doom 3 is how it takes inspiration from Half-Life. This is why it's so different but still cool. I think an RTX remix mod would be well received.
because it's already a remake.. or re-imagination.. of the first Doom game. Even the first one was intended to have lengthy introductory sections in the beginning.
Half-Life did what Doom could not so Doom 3 tried to make up the difference but some people preferred the DOOM gameplay and Doom3 weapon balance is not very good. The shot gun sucks ass unless you kiss the enemy on the nose and the machine gun feels fake unless an enemy is using it on you.
This was a good game, brought the scare factor. And the lose PDF's made it better. Nothing like going from friends planning a DnD session to hearing voices in maintenance shafts to "There are monsters, I'm hiding in a trash can and I'm scared!"
This game and Chronicles Of Riddick Escape From Butcher Bay came out the same year. Both did things with lighting that were just completely mind blowing at the time.
Same here, I was on vacation and bought a pc gamer magazine that feature doom 3, they said in reference to maxing out the visuals that the hardware didn't exist at the time
All with military personnel that didnt have flashlights mounted ON their weapons lol In a facility with zero natural light, that should have been standard.
Well if you ever noticed or payed attention the places you go in DooM 1 correspond with DooM 3. Like tge first level in episode 3 inferno is an updated version in DooM 3 same monsters and map layout as when you to hell in DooM 3. So what "they" meant was that it's story that Carmack didn't want to tell in the forst is this in DooM 3
What point are you trying to make? Because it is true, idsoftware DID want to make Doom into a horror game originally. This is verified by Carmack himself.
@@Razumen By my comment I dont mean that the first two ones werent horror-themed: what I meant is that it was also confirmed by them that Doom 3 was an exact recreation of what they wanted in 1993
Cuphead journalist level gamers, that's why. They did the same to Rage. Also, monitors were switching to LCD, which had terrible black level contrast. Doom3 was pretty good if you just enjoyed it for what it was. I enjoyed it more than HL2. Also, Rage can be enjoyed way more if you properly mod it, and use the config tweaks. Use uncompressed textures and the hidden upscaler command.
My main gripe is and always will be the flashlight. I understand the intention behind the deliberate handicap, but it doesn't work when you ask the simple question: "Why can't a trained marine hold a flashlight in one hand and a gun in the other? Or, if the gun is too big and powerful, why can't he figure out some other solution?" Other games of this flavor proved that it can be done without sacrificing the horror - a good example is Dead Space. However, I'll always appreciate Doom 3 for what it is. I got countless hours of enjoyment out of it when I was a 12 year old kid and it invigorated my love of horror.
You have to switch out several guns, sometimes using 3 different guns in a single battle. Very difficult to handle anyway. At least, the flashlight have a specific button for it.
Nah being able to use the flashlight at the same time as a weapon ruins the feel of the game. It's just not scary in the same way. I think people were just disappointed at the time because they wanted the game to be more like the 93 one, but it just wasn't designed to be like that. As for it not making sense I don't think that matters much. I mean how much stuff in games actually makes sense? Usually not much.
@@Herpusderpus the thing is with the version they released around 2013 you have to use a mode to remove it! So it's sort of retarded TBH. Like you'd think they'd make it an option.
Looks almost like Quake 4 with particles size set on right. Quake 4 looks amazing, but if You set the graphics to high, it aint really high. You must change particles size in the config and it will look sharp and clean AF. Btw. I finished Doom 3 so many times that I cant even count it, just like Q2, Q4 and GTA San Andreas. Those are games that I can return when I get 80 years old.
The best doom game, I remember getting this at Bestbuy in high school when it came out on PC and I played the shit out of it. I tried Doom 2016 and Eternal and those games sucked so bad. This one is the best
When people are being torn apart by evil demons, but you are too busy reading their e-mails and thinking about how they felt in their worplaces and personal lifes.
This is the only real DOOM game, embrace the darkness when the flashlight runs out of battery 🔦 Then experience the true face of panic. Heck, just put Thy Art Is Murder - Reign of Darkness in the soundtrack. Lyrics hit the spot.
I remember that having to choose between flashlight and weapon was a major pain. I wish they could have allowed you flashlight and pistol at the same time.
Neat thing is is that Doom was originally going to be directly tied to the Alien franchise but the idea was abandoned. A lot of the aesthetics were kept though, so it still looks and feels like an Alien game, especially with Doom 3.
doom 3 was the best horror game ever when i was a kid. scared the shit out of me and formed my love for the horror genre. the way the flashlights worked and the darkness were cutting edge at the time. will always be the best doom for me.
Este Doom es mi favorito. Tiene una buena historia, una buena banda sonora, una buena ambientacion y ha envejecido muy bien. Graficamente se adelanto a su tiempo. Salio en la generacion de la ps2 y esta no lo podia mover. Este juego no falla en nada, incluso el tema de la linterna estaba bien pensado y aunque lo cambiaron en la bfg edition, creo que deberian haber dejado la opcion al jugador, porque tener que elegir entre llevar un arma o la linterna añadia mas tension al juego. Doom 2016 fue un juegarral y Doom eternal aunque se pasa el arco argumental por los cojones, es un juego sobresaliente, pero Doom 3 siempre tendra un hueco en mi corasonsito
Great game. Actually the best Doom game. Only weapons are a catastrophe. That shotgun spread is ridiculous. That is exactly like creating a beautiful car, but ruin it with a bad engine.
The normal shotgun secondary fire shoots 2 shells and do nearly 3x dmg, almost 2x if you hit half the pellets, basically alt fire is like normal shot from super shotgun from doom 2,64 and his exoansion Resurrection of evil
1) Install Doom 3 2) Install dhewm3 - just copy files to your Doom 3 installation folder (optional, but there's no reason not to do so) 3) Download Doom 3 Redux mod 4) Extract "redux" folder from “MOD - installation” folder to your Doom 3 installation folder 5) Download Patch dhewm3 + DOOM 3 Redux 6) Extract "redux" folder from “installation” folder to your Doom 3 installation folder 7) Play the game - launch dhewm3.exe, choose Redux mod from “Mods” menu Additionally, you can install some extra features from “options” folder, just read README.txt from there and decide if you're interested in anything
Doom 3 was different in that it went for a more 'Horror' based approach as opposed to the usual run and gun action of the Doom series. It had created many detractors, but simultaneously also many supporters because it stands out as fairly unique. Perhaps ID Software ought to look at combining the two styles in future Doom games.
DOOM3 is my favorite of the franchise but this is coming from a console gamer. I played it on the original XBOX, the bfg edition on the 360 and then on each generation since then cuz it's been backwards compatible. I really want to see it get the remaster treatment from I'd and for it to include horde mode. Include those dog-like bots to help you fight off the waves of imps, hell knights, etc.
@@bipidri I just wanted you to know it exists! I just put together my "new" verison with DHEWM3, REDUX 20th, 120 fps, Sikkpin shaders, High Poly models, + Betruger fix, redux shotgun. IMO Sikkpin shaders and high poly models are a must add on for REDUX. But nice video!
I love doom 3. It has a great atmosphere. I found doom eternal to be boring and it had to be played a certain way. Don't get me wrong, it looked lovely but I found it repetitive and boring. Doom 3 oozed with horror and atmosphere with a fun story. I'd pick d3 over eternal any day.
I know many people don't like Doom 3, but in my opinion, it's like a different flavor of ice cream. Just hits different in a good way 👌
I beat it 12 times
It was my favourite personally

Before I played Silent Hill but I screamed in fear when I played Doom3
The world building in this game is still top notch for a simple shooter.
Simple shooter?..

Yes, I'm waiting for it for myself.
i don't get why they don't remake this game its awesome
because it's already a remake.. or re-imagination.. of the first Doom game. Even the first one was intended to have lengthy introductory sections in the beginning.
Purists say it's a bad game because it doesn't follow the previous ones. But they are wrong, this game is amazing

Even before things went bad on Mars, it was still horribly dark everywhere.
Lol, and they had 1970's level flashlight

I've never understood the hatred of this game. For me, this is the jewel of the whole series. Shooter + atmospheric horror is the limit of dreams.

Such a great game! Thanks for posting!
The best doom game, I remember getting this at Bestbuy in high school when it came out on PC and I played the shit out of it. I tried Doom 2016 and Eternal and those games sucked so bad. This one is the best
When people are being torn apart by evil demons, but you are too busy reading their e-mails and thinking about how they felt in their worplaces and personal lifes.

Corridor with the chain saw ghost is one of the scariest corridors in gaming history.

Best Doom ever made. Period
Love Doom 3 better than Eternal and the Reboot…it’s the first survival horror fps…glad indies still supporting and enhancing with RTX better graphics.
i rly like this game .
back then i kept reloading my plasmagun
You needed a monster pc to run this game back then. The second half turns into classic doom but most people never got there.
miss this game, thanks for the upload, hope to see more!
I built a couple computers prior that could game well but DOOM 3 was the first game I built a PC specifically to play
In space no one can hear you scream. This could easily have been an Alien game.

Best horror sci-fi game ive played.
Doom 3, Halo 2, Half-Life 2 2004’s best looking games
I love these games. Kept me safe and magically entertained in the house when i was a kid lol. Forever i will protect these.
Still the absolute greatest crime against shotguns in video game history.

Doom 3 is still my favorite Doom game. I wish we had sequel.
It's worth noting that PC gaming didn't do in-game interactive terminals/workstations this good again until Arkane's Prey came out in 2017.

and also, 20 years?! It is f*ckin ridiculous how good the game looks even today
i liked this version of doom. wish they made another like this but with updated graphics
how can someone hate this game is beyond me
Loved it... Thank you eventho it's a remaster...
As a big horror fan i loved Doom 3. Doom is great but its an action game.
doom 3 was the outcome of what low-polygon can do best

is there a mod to remove the jump scares?
Can you please make a video on how to install both?
If only they'd redone this in the new engine
Sweet 👍

Can it support high framerate? Because we really need high framerate.
I haven't even tried because this is more of a cinematic game, not competitive.
Check this: www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Doom_3#High_frame_rate
No it's just the way the shotgun reloads and wait no it's just the whole thing about the shotgun is wrong.
