Bluesnews versteht das so, das Doom 3 Original online nicht mehr zu kaufen war und nur die „Doom 3 BFG Edition“, eine geupdatete und gemoddete Version, zu kaufen ist.

Von daher muss die News eher lauten: Doom 3 Original ist jetzt endlich auf gog erhältlich. (bluesnews)

Now, when it comes to DOOM 3 Update, as we’ve mentioned, the original version of DOOM 3 has been added to our DOOM 3: BFG Edition. That means this title will now be visible in our store as just DOOM 3 and it contains both BFG Edition and Original Version. In addition, Original Version is also available to play in multiplayer mode. Make sure to gather some friends and go on a good old quality DOOM rampage! (gog)

Für Source Ports ist das Original schon wichtig. Einige neuere Maps und Mods supporten beide Versionen gleichzeitig.

Es gibt auch Spieler die das Original lieber mögen und die BFG Version kritisieren. Aus meiner Erinnerung, die BFG brachte paar gute Neuerungen mit sich, aber es gab auch Veränderungen wo es einige Fragezeichen dahinter gab (kann man machen, aber warum genau so und nicht anders).

Die Doom 3 Total Conversion erhält ein Bugfix Update.

The Dark Mod 2.11 is primarily a bug-fix release. The majority of development time was dedicated to fixing or improving long-standing bugs or problem areas with the project rather than focusing on new features. That said, some of the improvements that were introduced to address these issues could very well be classified as new features in terms of the amount of changes required to bring them to life.

The Dark Mod version 2.11 is here!

Containing numerous bug fixes and performance improvements, this release makes the game an even smoother and more polished experience.https://t.co/eCbnpSfHx8

Eine neue Version des Doom 3 Source Port dhewm3 wurde veröffentlicht.

Since dhewm3 1.5.1, there have been a lot of enhancements, like better compatibility with Wayland, or applying gamma and brightness in shaders shaders, which means that those settings work better on all platforms and are visible in screenshots (to demonstrate this, the screenshot above has been taken with r_gamma 2.0 and r_brightness 1.9).

Furthermore, both keyboard- and mouse-input have been improved and now there are multiple Quicksave slots (that are cycled through), so if you accidentally saved in a bad situation, you can still load the previous Quicksave.

Last but not least, there were lots of bugfixes and the (sadly still Windows-only) tools have been improved again with nice new features like High-DPI support, 64bit-compatibility and the Script Debugger you might remember from Quake4!
