#Gaming NEWS! Doom: The n00b Edition

Woah! What an unexpected news comin' from id software.
When I've been long awaiting for any tidbit of news regarding Doom 4, now that Rage's been released for quite some time already, instead their publisher Bethesda just announced a repackaging of the previous games, revamped and expanded!

Doom 3 BFG Edition is an all new re-release of Doom 3 for current systems Xbox 360, PC and PS3.

It will actually be an HD upgrade of both Doom 3 and its expansion Resurrection of Evil.
Some 7+ new levels will be added under the new title The Lost Mission.
Doom 1 and Doom 2 will also be included, unedited/unupdated.

And fanboys can rejoice, the flashlight will finally be able to be used simultaneously with a weapon.
By the way, I never understood the problem with it. It was always perfectly fine for me to switch between the guns and the flashlight. It created the "mood". And it was easy to use the light as a weapon (which offered a pretty high damage hits to the enemies)
But alas... Kids nowadays are never satisfied, and just complain about anything, all the time! Are you guys ever happy with something?! No complaints whatsoever? Guess not....

Here's a trailer:



As a long time huge id-fan, I will no doubt get this.
But probably later on.

You see, I actually just recently replayed through these games actually, like 2-3 months ago.
What a coincidence!
(loved the expansion, RoE, even more so than the actual D3 on this new playthrough!)
