DOOM 3 BFG Edition On Github, Timed For Oculus Rift

Posted by timothy on from the move-that-gigantic-cranium dept.

New submitter alexanderb writes "While DOOM 3 BFG Edition might not have blown most gamers' minds, it sure blew some hackers' minds by supporting the Oculus Rift head-mounted display. Now, id Software have put up the source code of the BFG Edition under the GPL in good time for the tentative Oculus Rift release date, 12/12/12."

    Apparently you didn't give the BFG edition a try.
    Bethesda/ID actually listened to all the whiny players like you and made every level a bit brighter. You don't need the flashlight anymore... and if you need it you can have it along with another weapon.
    The game is much less atmospheric, but more accessible.
