    I just fired up DOOM3 for the first time in a couple of years and it still looks fantastic. Heck, parts look just as good as the new Aliens vs Predator DX11 game. If you add higher poly models to the game it would fit in just as well today. Amazing.

    Oh, and we know.... OMG DARK! HOW COULD YOU EVEN SEE THE MODELS.

      I played it for the first time a few months ago, yeah, graphics held up pretty damn well considering it's age.
