    Well remember that unlike Quake 4, DOOM 3 was never on the modern consoles. Quake 4 was a 360 launch title but DOOM 3 was from the Xbox 1 era. And if you'll recall it looked like hammered ass on the Xbox 1 with cut down levels, graphics and sound, but it had some exclusives like Co-op if I recall.
