I love how the expression "HD" gets thrown around so vaguely. 720p is "HD" but far inferior to 1080p. Texture quality, anti-aliasing, and anisotropic filtering matter probably more than either. Maybe they should say "remastered" instead? I can run the old game at 1920x1200 already, "HD" means nothing to me.
Co-Op lighting / shooting sounds awesome! Here's an idea, instead of a flashlight you could change to a 'gun' that causes all lights in the environment to focus on the point where you 'fire' it (think spotlights when I say lights). You can only move lights in this way and have no flashlight - then, you can still light up areas but not while you have a gun out, you'd have to switch back to move the lights. Could be cool.
console players already got a good version of the game when it was released on the original xbox. it actually reviewed better than the pc version. this looks cool though - i'm excited to play the game in 3d. only thing is i thought this was going to be downloadable, not a retail release. there's no way i'm paying more than $20 for an 8 year old game. if they expect me to pay more then that for the disc, i'll buy it used after the holidays and bethesda will see none of my cash!
Y'know what I really want? The entirety of Doom and Doom 2 made in the Doom 3 engine. Better yet, ALL the Dooms made in the RAGE engine.

Do we know what the DRM is going to be on the PC yet? Because if it's any more than a disc check, I'll stick with my original version that I got for a dollar at the thrift store.
The parts where the trailer displays hell looks an awful lot like Doom 3 Resurrection of Evil.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed RoE, but I don't want that to be the 'lost level' because it isnt.

According to the wikipedia page, it includes Resurrection of Evil, AND the Lost Level. Also includes Doom 1 and 2. I just hope they put the coop back in.
I still have Doom 3 and Resurrection of Evil for xbox....so I guess I'll be passing up on this. I mean I'm sure it'll look cool and blah blah blah but I think I'll be holding out for Doom 4.
I don't actually think this is news. They announced that the Doom 3 HD re-release would have extra levels that were only partially made when the game was first being developed, but were eventually scrapped. Now they've gone back to everything they had at that time and finished them.
And please, let the stupid flashlight armor thing be optional. The entire game was built around only being able to have a weapon OR your flashlight out at once. Change that and it breaks the game. As much as Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid desperately needed modern controls prior to RE6 and MGS4, simply throwing them into the old games without changing how they're designed wouldn't work.
Plus I didn't mind that I couldn't use a flashlight because I understood that holding a giant fucking gun kind of occupies both my hands. Maybe if they let you use it with a pistol or something, but that's about it. Never really affected my immersion into the experience.

I get that you're a PC elitist (your posts on this site have made that perfectly clear), but can you at least try and pick your battles? The game has never been on PS3 or 360. It wasn't on PS2 or GameCube either, and the Xbox port was significantly scaled down from what the PC version was capable of at the time, it didn't run in HD, and the backward compatible version runs like shit on 360.
This is effectively a 360 and PS3 game. It's probably going to sell the most copies on 360 and PS3. That's why they're making the game. Just accept it and move on. We get it. Your PC can run Doom 3 on high in 1080p. Good for you. So can mine. But as far as the entire fucking industry is concerned, 720 vertical pixels is still "high definition". Let it go.
Totally putting aside the fact that the current version of Doom 3 is effectively broken for most modern computers without some manual fixes and work-arounds and id Soft has done nothing to help with patching it.

Damn, if there were anyone who needs to "let it go" its most certainly ctg and not jinx. The green eyed monster can make people crazy.
That aside, I definitely liked the darkness aspect of doom 3, but to say that in the future in dark space stations guns don't come equipped with mounted flashlights is just silly.

@Startyde I hope your trolling because Doom 3 came out before Prey. Prey also used the same engine IdTech4 as Doom 3. There is also nothing in Doom 3 that even closely resembles Prey. That comment probably didn't even deserve a response but there you go.
Also every single ID game since quake has used the same engine. Its not like they create a new game engine from scratch every single time they develop a game. Technically Rage uses the quake 3 engine and every other game before it. Mind blown!
