To be fair, after the first hours of the game, it turns into a arena styled combat game and the tension is gone, it seems the beta version of doom 3 had more tense sound effects and more spooky scenarios

Even though, still has great setpieces like the portal where the two barons of hell fight, that was great, or the going to a teleport still is kind of unnerving to me to this day

Doom 3 is a hundred times better than the utter slop that is 2016, Eternal, and Dark Ages. It is the ULTIMATE acid test for having taste, or for how susceptible one is to marketing and hype and groupthink consensus. When Doom 2016 came out it was treated like the second coming of Christ and yet was just a boring ugly unfun shitty Reddit slopfest; I mean I have NEVER seen such a blatant mass brainwashing (in terms of video games) like Doom 2016 was. I've replayed Doom 3 a bunch and it's always kino and fun every time; I have tried to replay 2016 one time after beating it all the way through, saying to myself "surely I was too hard on this" and "it can't be as bad as I remember" but then I got halfway through the first level, got bored, and turned it off. If you hate Doom 3, you're personally responsible for the enshittification of the franchise. Congrats faggot, now kill yourself.

I hate that BFG edition gave you a shoulder flashlight instead of merging the flashlight and pistol together. It would have made the pistol have a purpose past the first 20 minutes while preserving the firepower vs visibility dynamic the game was designed around.

>baked lighting > raytracing every single time
I'm sick of you baked lighting retards.
Developers use baked lighting because they have to, and if they knew they could get away with using ray tracing in every instance, they would.
One could argue it's out of laziness, another could argue, correctly so, that it not only saves time, but looks better.
Ray tracing is here to stay, it is superior to baked lighting, and the more that is invested in it, the better it will be.

Gladly.
There's a lot of mundane work in any job, and if there's any way to automate that work, then it should be automated. I can imagine several 3D modeling and texture artists would much rather dictate something boring like a brick wall texture or a 3D model of a lamp, than having to make it themselves, saving the time for more important tasks.
In terms of coding, AI can generate large chunks of code that's faster than typing it, or assist with finding bugs. It's all under the hood anyway, and if the code works, then the end justifies the means.
AI writing, voices, and control of NPCs can create interesting scenarios for players in real time.
There's all kinds of shit AI can be useful for in game development, and it should be used.

Doom 3 is not baked lighting

To this day I think Doom 3 is the most grounded Doom game and it's the only one like it. Secrets are generally just PDA's that give you either a 3 number keycode for ammo and weapon stashes or security clearance for a door. No more pressing interact on every wall that made no sense. Even when hell gets twisted into the mix, you don't really see those crazy floating platforms you'd see everywhere in nu-doom outside of a single level right after returning from Hell

>shotgun spread way too wide and inconsistent
>SMG looks kinda goofy, sounds underwhelming, and has a bit too much accuracy at range
>pistol looks like a joke and sounds like an airsoft GBB
I've messed around with the one source port for Doom 3 and changed up some of the stats, it tends to play a lot better when the stuff above is addressed to some degree.
Also, fun fact, there's no hitscan in Doom 3, bullets are projectiles fired with the velocity of a .38 cal bullet, and it's even referenced in code comments.

You don't need to have a flashlight and gun out at the same time. The game is piss-easy enough on its own and juggling it with your weapon adds some challenge.

Thread likely isn't to last much longer but play Doom 3! It's actually very fun despite being the black sheep of the originals, it's very interesting when you keep in mind the context of the first two, especially when it comes to aesthetics. You'll recognize features from the 2D games in the 3D environment and it just feels right. I think it's very underappreciated, give it a chance.
