Willits laughs, and then takes his time responding. The only question, really, for id Software, which announced it was working on the sequel in 2008 but hasn't said much about it since. This is the second time today I pose the same question. I mention to Willits that if one were id Software, and were working on a new Doom (say, Doom 4), that the Doom 3 BFG Edition would be the perfect precursor. Or, perhaps, as a foot in the door for a new installment in the almost 20-year-old franchise. When it releases (exact date and price point are TBD), it will be suitable as an introduction to the series for new adopters. It's a bonus-packed re-issue of the Doom catalog to date, with updated graphics and controls, extra missions and improvements geared at converting naysayers. He's telling me about the upcoming Doom 3 BFG Edition.
Id's Tim Willits is riding shotgun, navigating. We're driving down a two-lane country road in North Texas. On a road trip in North Texas, id Software's Tim Willits dishes on the upcoming 'Doom 3 BFG Edition.'
