Doom 3: BFG Edition: Doom 3 BFG Edition: Engine-Quellcode veröffentlicht

Seiner Tradition, den Quellcode älterer Engines zu veröffentlichen, ist John Carmack bisher treu geblieben. Nachdem id Software vor fast genau einem Jahr die Doom 3 Engine freigegeben hatte, aktualisiert das Studio jetzt sein Portfolio und packte noch die Version, die in der Doom 3 BFG Edition zum Einsatz kommt, ins Netz - wie üblich auf GPL-Basis.

NEW FEATURES

• All projectiles cast shadows
• Texture LOD bias added to menu options
• Added option to force v-sync (instead of “smart v-sync”)
• Adjusted default brightness value
• Shadow casting projectiles added to menu options
• Allow setting anti-aliasing up to 16x on Nvidia hardware. AMD/Intel cap is at 8x
• Adjusted range of vertical sensitivity (allows you to lower sensitivity further than original implementation)
• Added option to disable checkpoints

• Variable FOV settings options were added into the main menu
• Added controller bind options
