Elizabeth from RoE expansion from Doom 3. is it canon? You can find the SoulCube in Doom (2016) in Olvia's Pierce Office. I'd recommend to everyone who is looking for a more Doom experience to play these two instead of the original campaign, and for those in the mood for a lot of Jump Scares and cheaply spawned enemies to create specific battle scenarios to play the original campaign. I'm saying this because they actually reuse several 'arenas' from the original Doom and play completely different. They turn Survival Horror into actual Doom. Those two weapons, plus enemy placement change the pacing of the game so much. It was corrected with an update to accomodate to more 'modern standards'.Īfter playing Resurrection of Evil and (currently playing) Lost Mission, boy do the sawed-off shotgun and graber gun transform the gameplay into something more akin to Doom. If I remember correctly on the original PC release you had to switch from the flashlight to the gun. As many have said it turned the game into a survival horror. It was a showpiece to compete against Half-Life 2, and both the mission structure, game design and technology sought to prove Id's pedigree albeit forgoing what made Doom actually Doom. I've been recently replaying it, and I can say that Doom 3 is really a product of it's time. Also, it came with proper modding tools, which have allowed the creation of the Thief Dark Mod, which alone would justify the existence of the game. At times it feels like playing in real time a cg cutscene from the late 90s. The atmosphere is unmathced, as far as action oriented horror fps go, and it is one of the most 'cinematic looking' games ever created.

The soul cube is fun to use and allow for some extreme enemy encounters that would otherwise be too difficult.

Some of the weapons are not great, like the shotguns and the rfile, but others are argueably better than the originals, like the plasma rifle and the minigun. If anything, the ambushes and some of the most labyrinthic sections, scare as they might be, are very reminiscent of the original Doom, much more than the exclusively arena focused Doom 2016. The level design also is not always linear, you often go on key hunting like in the original.

The campaign features a new story with new voice acted log entries, as well as weapons and enemies from both Doom 3 and Resurrection of Evil. There's much more variety than what some would have you think. Doom 3: The Lost Mission is an expansion pack for Doom 3 released along with Doom 3: BFG Edition on October 16, 2012. People exagerate when they criticize the encounter design.
