Unless Doom 2 is packed with 1080p support (no reason not to for such an old easy-to-render game) as well as filters for the 2D objects/anti-aliasing for the 3D objects, I'll pass. You can do all this with Doomsday or any other Windows Doom engine port (completely legal since you supply your own WADs) so I can't find a reason to give Nerve Software money if they can't at least match something you can get for free if you already own an old copy of Doom 2 (who doesn't?).

Played Doom 2 at Quakecon, it was excellent. The new level I played was fantastic co-op.

Is this going to be at full resolution on my TV or will it be a sort of windowed version?
