Today, Bethesda has announced the Doom 3 BFG Edition. The game will re-release all of the major releases in the Doom series, including Doom, Doom II, and of course Doom 3 and its expansion pack Resurrection of Evil. The game is coming to more than just the PC, it is also being ported to the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
Doom 3 BFG Edition will also include the “lost mission”. The blog does not go into specifics about what this is, but the trailer does state that new never before seen levels will be included, and the “lost mission” may be what it is referring to.
The game has been remastered for HDTV support as well as 3D for the PS3 version. I find this quite interesting. While Doom 3 has always supported higher resolutions with its original PC version, Doom 3 never officially supported widescreen resolutions in its PC version. It was only brought into the game when it was added unofficially with a patch and required the end-user to do a few console tweaks. Later it was officially used in the Doom 3 version for the original Xbox.
Now that’s one Big…um…freaking…gun. Or at least that’s what was written in Quake II’s manual under the description of the BFG.
The Doom 3 BFG Edition is coming to Xbox 360 and PS3.

But a new feature that I don’t think was previously mentioned is the updated game will feature a persistent flashlight coming from the armor. This new feature is a HUGE deal. Since it was launched, the major complaint about Doom 3 was its dark environments were TOO dark, and what was probably the first feature that modders added to Doom 3 was a persistent flashlight beam.
