The reason I think that Doom3 runs so smooth even on a console, is the fact that it has one of the most organized code in history of videogames, along with quake 3. No spaghetti code means great ports.

It wasn't that the Xbox was strong... It's just that the PS2 was fucking weak. No seriously. The Gamecube was more capable than the PS2 and everyone at the time was memeing about that console.

I played the DOOM 3 Xbox about 2-3 years ago and was quite surprised at how different it felt (in a good way.) It's great because even if you played the PC version a million times like I did, it is still worth playing the Xbox port since some of the levels have different layouts and enemy placment in some sections is modified. Playing the Xbox port was the first time in years that I actually felt on edge again playing DOOM 3. Definitely recommended to people who haven't played it yet!

DUDE! I only experienced Doom 3 by watching my brother play it on the original Xbox. I talked about that part with the disappearing chainsaw demon at school so much! I had no idea that was exclusive to the Xbox version- that added so much to the introduction of that enemy. It was also the closest thing I'd seen to a scary moment in a video game, until Condemned: Criminal Origins managed to actually scare the shit out of me. Lol

[@AutoRoboto05]

Doom 3, for me, was always a different beast from the other Doom games. It reminded me of Doom for the PlayStation and on the N64. It really got me into horror games because it was a hybrid of those faster shooters and slower horror games. While I can't say it's the best, it will forever hold a place in my heart.

[@wotever99ninynine]

exactly. it was a brilliant game.

[@blackagent4754]

Imo, Doom 3 might actually be my favorite. I play it to this day and have played it more than any other Doom title. There's something about its horror atmosphere and theme that none of the other games have, and the combat and story keep me coming back and never make me bored. I see why people don't like it as much as the others, but I don't care, I like the other Dooms, but LOVE Doom 3.

[@ezecskornfan]

doom 3 is really divisive. I have mad respect for that game even if its execution wasn't as great as other games. Just the technical aspect of it should make any cultured gamer bow their head. Yes, that is for the people that thought the first Killzone 2 trailer was a real thing.

[@brandontadday6288]

It’s weird to me how divisive this game is. I actually feel like Doom 3 almost sticks closer to the feel of the original Doom than the 2016 reboot does (despite most people arguing the opposite). One thing I didn’t like about the 2016 reboot was the lack of claustrophobia-inducing environments. OG Doom and Doom 3 both have PLENTY of moments where your forced down narrow corridors and densely packed small arenas. I found the atmosphere of Doom 2016 was kinda nullled by just how big some of the arenas were which removed a lot of the tense and visceral combat that I associate with Doom as a franchise.

[@Zakkious]

@@brandontadday6288 DOOM 2016 and Eternal remind me somehow more of Quake than actual Doom, since they lack the classic exploration and level design from Doom 1 and 2

[@MrSadisticLlama]

Same here, I grew up on Doom 3, remember watching my dad play it when I was little and it really spooked the hell out of me. When I was a older, I got around to playing it, and it still scared me, but was honestly really fun! I played the Original Doom, Doom 2, and Doom 2016, but Doom 3 will always have a special place in my heart, even if the Doom community considers it the Black sheep of the series, I can see its wonder and the fun it does, as well as trying new things. Plus Doom 3's DLC was really good! From the looks of it Eternal looks a bit more story in it, which for me is wonderful, I loved reading the little lore pieces you collect in the levels in Doom 2016 and Doom 3, so it will be a delight I'm sure!

[@ChuddmasterZero]

This looks incredible to me - I didn't realise it was ever ported to the original XBOX. It shows just how far ahead of the PS2 the XBOX was. Considering the hardware, this is a noteworthy effort, kudos to VV for getting this done to such a high standard.

[@cactusmanbwl1990]

It's weird, but i kind of think the muddy, low res nature of the Xbox version actually makes it look better. It hides a lot of the very off-putting things from the newer releases. 5:28 being probably the best example.

[@realstreetjesus1953]

Cactusmanbwl1990 that’s a good point. It might be low res but playing it on a CRT would probably work as basic anti aliasing as well.

I don't really 'get into' a lot of the games/shooters you seem to gravitate toward, but I watch all of your content, because of your knowledge of the material, and presentation style. Great stuff, thank you.

[@PassportBrosBusinessClass]

Doom 3 had the best graphics of any Console game at its time. Keep in mind, this was a tremendous jump from Doom 1 and 2 in terms of graphics and presentation. Far more atmospheric and realistic than DOOM 2016. Doom 3 needs a remake with Ray Tracing and more enemies. I’d like louder guns and gore rendering with fully amputatable bodies.

[@starrgazer9]

Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay also ran on the same graphics engine right?

[@nickporter4279]

I'm not sure the lighting is the main thing that Doom 3 needs improving - it still looks more impressive in that respect than a lot of modern games. The main things it needs are HD textures and higher-poly character models. (Also the standard modding adjustments: stop the corpses and debris from vanishing, beef up the enemy health, nerf the Soul Cube, remove the Zsec's aimpunch, add the Reznor sounds, remove that annoying click sound while running.)

I will say this until the day I die of either old age, a fast food-induced heart attack, falling off a balcony or a combination of the three, Doom 3's Xbox port is one of the best handled and most faithful PC-to-console ports of any first person shooter that has ever been released. Some-fucking-how, Vicarious Visions and Nerve Software (For the equally impressive Resurrection of Evil standalone port) managed to cram almost every nook, cranny and id Tech 4 jumpscare onto the Xbox, a system with hardware that was a generation below Doom 3's then-insane _minimum_ requirements, adjusting parts of the game as needed while maintaining the overall tone, feel and sense of urgency the original had, along with controls that don't suck, considering it's a _console_ port.

The PS2 port of the original Half-Life is surprisingly decent outside of the interminable loading screens, but yes I doubt the PS2 could've handled the HL2 port. IT was pretty good on Xbox, I will have to go to an Exchange and rebuy it as I got rid of it when I got the Orange Box years back...

I have good memories about this game, used as a benchmark, but it delivers a decent horror experience as well. Of course doom is better as a crazy arcade shooter, but to have some horror elements also makes sense. One rare case of two extremes that can work in the same franchise.

5:19 I'd argue the filters make the clip on the left look better, more atmosphere, there's such a thing as 'Too Clean' where it stops looking good and only serves as a reminder that you're playing a video game, in my opinion.

Took the words right out of my mouth. It made the game way too easy and I basically would just play a minigame of how fast can i turn the light back on. Totally r e m o v i n g any type of horror aspect and turning it into just a straight up action game which would be more "doom 1-2-ish" but also defeating John Carmacks original vision for the game in the first place. But it broadened the horizons for the casuals :) . New insult to coin, "Shoulder Mounter", or you could also use "Fucking Shoulder Mounter"

Unless I miss understood. There’s a quick save option with either the black or white button default. It’s a game where your to take advantage of that. You make your own check points.

[@LuisLevy]

Here's why Doom 3 on Xbox doesn't have checkpoints: it turns out there was a bug in the checkpoint system that Vicarious Visions couldn't fix prior to shipping the game in 2005. It was actually crashing the game! I remember reading about it in an old issue of Game Developer magazine. The workaround was the next best thing, a Quick Save method that is not mentioned in the video (bound to the black or white buttons). So yeah, no checkpoints BUT there is an easily accessible shortcut to quick save.

[@thesilentobserver93]

I remember playing through Doom 3 on the OG Xbox so many times! I'm finally getting through the PC version (I know, I know, I'm really late), and I'm noticing so many differences in just the original level, that it feels almost like a completely new game.

[@ZeekmanLaRude]

The best feature of the OG Xbox version is that B is quick save. The 360 BFG Edition doesn't use the B button for ANYTHING.

I'm going to have to revisit this version soon. I remember really enjoying it when it came out (PC wasn't powerful enough to handle the game at the time). I revisited the PC version last year and did two full playthroughs, and holy crap does it overstay its welcome. Cutting out a lot of the bloat in the Xbox version, even if simply due to limitations, can only be a good thing.

[@astarteincept8409]

The gap between the PS2/GameCube and Xbox was massive. The other consoles couldn't even run Half-Life 2 or Doom 3. When the Xbox released, it had the world's most powerful GPU -- more powerful than the then-new GeForce 3 -- in the hybrid NV2a (which, it turned out, combined elements of NV20, NV25 and NV30), which had its closest cousin in the GeForce 4 which released in 2002. Elements of it weren't equaled in a desktop card until 2003. It was a programmable shader GPU/console, unlike the PS2 and GameCube. As far as lights, this made it an easy 'yes' for Doom 3. The Xbox also had a SIMD Pentium 3. As far as architecture, the OG Xbox was very much on-target for Doom 3. It's really the OG Xbox that created the modern console, and predicted the conflation of Consoles with PC gaming. Conflating the Xbox's prowess and overall tech with the PS2 is a great misread of what the two devices were, and of modern gaming history. Arguably, the gap between the PS2 and Xbox was the widest there's ever been between two mainline consoles in a single generation, particularly considering their overlapping price point.

That's one of the things I preferred about the BFG Edition. The BFG Edition kept almost all of the pitch black areas, but just bumped the lighting intensity(you could do that in OG DOOM3, but it seemed more balanced in BFG). It never made since to me in the original why the UAC was using 10watt bulbs.
