The Original DOOM, DOOM II, And DOOM 3 Have All Surprise Launched On Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Xbox One [see threadmarks for FAQ]

Doom 64 is the only official Doom game I never played. I never owned an N64, only some friends of mine did but none of them had it. At this point I don't think I'd bother looking for (legal or otherwise) ways to play that game, but I'd throw down even 15-20 Euros for a proper high resolution port of it. I know some dudes on PC have enhanced ports and whatnot, but still. The game looks so good, a weird mixture of Doom and Quake that looks strange, but also better than both in some ways (and I adore both). I wonder if there's licensing issues with that game because they keep "forgetting" to port it when they're releasing this kind of stuff.
I wonder if Doom 3 (assuming it is the BFG Edition) Includes Doom 1 and 2. The one on PS3 and 360 included both.
Fire Emblem, but I'd argue it isn't as important as one of the best games ever made :P
They're probably gonna go live right after the keynote lol, I wouldn't worry.
Geez, I completely forgot Three Houses was a thing. Thanks!
DOOM 3 has awful pacing and it's just not as fun as the originals. I'm hesitant to pick it up myself.
From the description it sounds like BFG Edition.
Now the true test is are these just the homebrew versions officially ported or something different?
I keep picking it up, even bought the X360 port. I usually play for 30-60 minutes, then I think to myself "this is why I didn't bother when it launched" and abandon it. They might be able to trick me into buying it for the third time though, I really want to like it but I don't, lmao.
So I'll ask the question:
Is Doom 3 better than Doom 2016? Because I don't really care for the Doom franchise but I thought Doom 2016 was FANTASTIC.

It's very different, more horror shooter than the fast paced action of Doom 2016. But Doom 1 and 2 are like Doom 2016. ^^
Doom 3 is infinitely more fun if you've finished Doom 2016 and understand the lore behind the Doom Slayer. I couldn't stand it back in the day, but replayed it after beating Doom 2016 early this year and found it so much better and understandable.
No. Doom 3 is considered the low point the franchise. I'm still getting it though.
It's subjective, but ask most people and the result you'll get is: NOPE. Doom 3 is a slow, horror-esque take, something slightly closer to the opening episode of the first Doom, albeit with far less action. You even have to use a flashlight because everything's dark, and instead of fighting a billion enemies at a time there's plenty of horror noises, with enemies jumping out from who knows where. It's a horror game, not a Doom game. It was liked by many people actually, but as a Doom game it's... not good, because it's got nothing to do with Doom basically. Doom 2016 is a modern take on what Doom was in 1993, Doom 3 is basically "what if Doom was actually Dead Space" or something.
It's a totally different kind of game. It's more sedately paced, and more a horror shooter than anything.
So this is what Pete Hines was alluding to last month on the Nintendo Power Podcast when he said there may be surprises for Switch owners during QuakeCon.
Sweet, when these do go live I can't wait. Always wanted to finally beat Doom (1993), only ever made it to the end of Episode I.
In hindsight it seems obvious. Doom ports are some of the easiest things to pull nowadays, and given their cult status they'll still generate a lot of money with minimal effort.
What about Final DOOM? Seems like an odd exclusion. Still excited for the rest. Drop this shit in the eShop already!!
You're definitely right about the "look" of the game. It's arguably the scariest Doom, because of its visual and sound design (and probably inadvertently because of the weird limitations of the N64 hardware). It just evokes this unbroken sense of wrongness that fits Doom perfectly. Some levels also feel slower and more exploration/puzzle-centric than other games in the series, which I think adds to the atmosphere, but might frustrate someone looiking for more action. I really, really hopes it makes it to Switch (or Steam) someday.
OK, so it's not just my memory deceiving me. Maybe I'll pass or wait for a sale.
Doom 3 has an awesome structure, it doesnt have bad pacing. I wish more games would be built like it today. Theres a constant crescendo right until the end of the game. You get different enviroments along the game, fresh enemies, fresh weapons, the difficulty builds up.
The pacing is actually one of the highlights of the game. It never lets up or crumbles
But people should play it on PC with some mods, not like this.
