Doom 3 BFG Uses Rage Tech, Faster Gameplay Than Original

Link to article on Toms Hardware

Based on this article it sounds like ID Software spent quite some time on tweaking original Doom 3 game. They were even changing some original levels and made the lighting setups brighter. Generally applying their current perspective on how they think the game should look and play. Plus networks code from Rage to improve multiplayer. This is on top of new levels Lost Mission, PS3/Xbox support, 3d glasses support and higher resolution textures (and all original Dooms). The release is now in around 4 weeks - 16.10. in US and 19.10. in Europe.

Doom 4 next year?

I have read this speculation and just confirmed as looked at wikipedia. Some speculate and I am joining them, that Doom 4 release date will be December 10, 2013. As first Doom was released on the same day in 1993, it would be 20th anniversary of this ID software`s flag ship game. ...and ideal christmas present for many daddies :)
