[edit] The Game
Doom 3 is a science fiction, survival horror, first-person shooter video game. Developed by id Software and published by Activision, it was released on August 3, 2004. Doom 3, despite its name, is not a direct continuation of the original Doom series storyline, but rather a re-imagining of the first game in the series with a completely new game engine and improved graphics.
Doom 3 is set in the year 2145 in a fictional Union Aerospace Corporation (UAC) research center on Mars. In the game, the player takes control of a UAC security replacement marine as he fights to survive a mysterious invasion of inter-dimensional demons. In the process, the marine learns more about the nature of the shadowy research being conducted within the massive base, as well as information on its main instigator, Dr. Malcolm Betruger.
Doom 3 was developed for Windows and ported to Linux in 2004. Seven months later, it was also released for Mac OS X (ported by Aspyr) and Xbox (co-developed by Vicarious Visions). The Xbox version is graphically similar to the original, although less detailed. It also features an additional two-player online co-operation mode. An expansion, Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil, developed by Nerve Software and co-developed by id Software, was released on April 4, 2005. The Xbox version of Doom 3 is an Xbox 360-compatible title, and the Xbox version of Resurrection of Evil is also forwards compatible as of July 2007. A Doom film, very loosely based on the franchise, was released roughly one year after the initial release of Doom 3 on October 21, 2005.
Modification of this game is extremely similar to that of Quake 4 as Quake 4 was based on this same technology. Please refer to that section of this website for additional information.
