What's not to love, a full-sized expansion to Thief Gold made by some of the best mission authors in the Thief community. Who knew 2023 would bring another T2X moment!
When I looked at the screens for this mod, I was completely turned-off by the garish colors, bland lighting, and simple geometry.
I could forgive the last one as the Doom 2 in Doom 3 mod was also pretty simple from a geometry perspective but was still fun to play.
Fast forward a few years and curiosity drove me to test this out.
What a fool I was for missing out on this grand Doom experience!
The fast paced action, the metal sound track, the old Doom feel. The visuals don't look to great in screen-shot form but playing the game gives you a shockingly instant conduit to the original Doom game via memory association. You feel like you have somehow opened a modded Doom WAD collection rather than playing Doom 3.
My only suggestion. More Gore!
A monumental comprehensive fix pack for the the last Thief title with LGS involvement. Widescreen fixes, CPU threading fixes, tweaked movement, this makes Thief 3 properly playable on a modern PC and it keeps improving.
Add the Thief 3 Gold beta patch from the "fat edition" and you are verging on the holy grail of a reborn Thief 3 experience.
(Full disclose: I help promote The Dark Mod which is a sort of a rival to this project, I still think this is damned cool work. Tough competition. :) )
Gives Doom 3 a pair of balls.
I add the glprogs folder from the Ruiner Mod for extra bling but otherwise this is how Doom 3 should've felt to play. Powerful weapons and lots of extra gore effects. No wimpy cap-guns.
I cannot begin to express the gratitude. Great job and thanks!
Over the years shader developers have tried various methods to enhance Doom 3's appearance but almost nothing is as effective as upgrading the texture quality. When added with a good Shader mod like Sikkmod this work upgrades the visuals to contemporary (or better) standards. Outstanding work Wulfen!
