Doom 3 : BFG Edition for Android
The game runs superbly smooth in 60fps on the nvidia shield tablet, Im actually having a hard time grasping the power of mobile chips these days (and the developers' talents, Great work guys!) The BFG Edition also includes Doom1 and Doom2 for all of you nostalgics out there. Doom3 itself is not that good of a game 6/10 compared to top-tier modern PC games, But in comparison to all F2P titles out there on android, none of them can compete with the quality and value of a fully fledged PC game.
I love it.. However there seems to require a gamepad and I have carpal tunnel.. So game pads hurt more than a mouse and keyboard. We there any m+k updates to this?
D3 is fine. But 1&2 has issues when I try to turn and look around, it's very slow, and very stuttered. Movement forward and backward, and strafing is smooth though. ... weird.
It's great once it's finally installed. If your having trouble delete it and restart the download but you may need to do this several time. I do hate the fact you need WiFi to start it but apart from that it's a must buy!
Controller does not work, cannot choose anything in the menus, can't choose Doom or Doom 2, once in Doom 3 cannot go to any submenus. I would like a refund, didn't even play the game and doesn't seem to be a refund button?
Awesome port all around. Framerate is a little unstable at times but to fix this I set the max framerate to 30fps, since it normally hovers around 40 to 48 fps.
Let me know how to open game console in Doom 3. On PC it's done using ~ key. How to do it in the Android version. Please answer and I will upgrade to 5 stars.
Updated Review: Nvidia partners did a terrific job on this port. It runs and plays marvelously. A smooth 50-60fps. They also have updated the game to allow you to remap sprint and crouch. Makes the game much more enjoyable. Now if there is a way to move the game to the SD card while using the SHIELD Tablet then we'll be in business.
This is an excellent game! I encountered some problems at the downloading process, but Nvidia support center helped me to properly install the app. But it worth the trouble,as I said this is an excellent game.
It's amazing to think that you can play a doom game on the go let alone doom 3, the game plays amazingly on my shield tablet and the same on shield TV it's definitely worth the asking price, I play it in work on my split shift and I will play it on holiday as well as half-life, trine and borderlands we are spoiled these days and I'm very grateful for that, the days of the Gameboy, game gear and Nintendo DS are retro now and played for nostalgia purposes Nvidia shield is the future.
Can't play offline, because you guys set it so that it has to validate it everytime. I don't have internet at my house, therefore I wasted ten dollars. Patch this, because if the license is validated once, then I should never have to validate it ever again. Patch, or refund. Pick your poison.
Fantastic game and a joy to play on the shield tablet.
:( not one comment to this how dumb, great service dick wods.
Stuck at 'installing' for few hours. Shield K1 with SD card formatted to be part of system storage. If that is the issue refund immidiately
Awesome port , just what the doc ordered . And a file size of just about 4GB . Guys , please try to port more PC and PS games to the shield console , like Farcry 3 , Last of us , Crysis 3 . The specs deserve a real upgrade in the list of games available .
Don't get me wrong, this is an amazing collection of games and they run perfectly on the Shield K1 when downloaded properly. However, it is impossible to download the game if your SD card is formatted as internal. The solution is to format the SD card to external. Really Nvidia, REALLY?!?!?!?! Sorry, but a game that requires you to lose massive amounts of data and limit your storage for other games is unacceptable to the point of disgraceful. It's not like the game is even intended for other devices! Even after formatting my card to download the game, then reformatting to internal again, the game is now stuck trying to download the update again and hangs at 0%. Please fix this ridiculous bug - all it will take is a few lines of code, if that!
The download keeps stopping at 93%. EDIT: I removed all evidence of the game and reinstalled. Everything works. Thanks.
Most fun I have had on android for years!!! Can you guys maybe port Return to Castle Wolfenstein Tides of War to Shield?
Game runs great but can't get to far cause it don't save my game. Even though its saving at check points. Try resume but no game saved.
Needs for console quality games for shield tablets. The length of the game is really good having both the dlc for DOOM 3
Just bought it, haven't played it yet. I have the game on my PC. Already having download problems. I just had to reset my tablet cuz the download hung up.
Brilliant stuff! I was getting an error message but previous updates fixed the issue!
how do i fast run on doom 2. running on a shield tablet and control.
Bluetooth audio is off in cut scenes. There's also some crackling.
Need more optimization with battery draining, 2-3 hours of game till 15% This is very little amount of the time for such game, imho.
One thing though not all the posters are reflective like it has glass over it just the one when u first go in lobby
Won't connect to google play and can't save. Rather annoying.
im connected with wifi and i have internet but the game is telling me " error while validating license " Pls help
Nvidea shield tablet is the only way to play mobile.
Looks great, but have to play with old wired 360 controller as the gun just keeps firing with my Nvidia controller.
Could not install it a first but let it do its thing for about two hours and its finally up and running perfectly.
So I can't play on plane huh?
Good port of a classic jump scare game.
Great game looks and plays great
Playing on an Nvidia Shield K1 tablet and the game runs great. However, when trying to edit the controls, it won't let me re-map the LS or RS buttons, which is strange because those buttons work fine for sprint and crouch, but they are not the buttons that I want to use and I can't use them for anything else. I've tried with the official Nvidia Shield controller, an Ipega 9023, and an Xbox 360 controller, all with the same results. Is there a .cfg file that I can edit? Or can this be fixed in an update?
After receiving the direct assist from support, adjusting my SD Card to be proper and compatible with my Tablet, and the game installation being cut in half... I have successfully downloaded this game. It was well worth the wait! Honestly it is better than the PC version and it works amazingly with the controller (but if you want to reconfigure the joysticks push down button, you can't so don't get any ideas there). Due to the minor controller concern and the fact that it took over 5 months to install I am going to upgrade this from 1 to 4 stars. Excellent work guys!
Love it. Great port of awesome games! I've had so much fun playing through Doom 1 and 2 on my Shield TV. The only thing that sucks is that every time I launch the game it gives me Google Play Services errors and I cannot get signed in to Google Play Games, so my saves/achievements don't sync. PLEASE FIX THIS AND IT WILL BE PERFECT! Well... mouse and keyboard support would be perfect ;)
OH WOW. Just -- WOW. First, I cannot believe how smoothly and cleanly this game runs on my NVidia Shield K1. Everything about this game is amazing. This is my first experience playing a shooter without a keyboard and mouse, and after a little getting used to, I am able to strife and dodge at an enjoyable level. The sound i phenomenal as well, and while the speakers work well on the tablet, plugging in headphones to the controller really immerses me into the game. I honestly lost four hours in one sitting just playing through the game. This has been well worth the money. Absolutely unbelievable at how well this game plays.
Cannot get this installed on Nvidia Shield TV. I've attempted 4+ times. Download freezes at 60%. It even goes through a phase where it says it is installing during the download process. I am installing directly to device. I will try again with a SD card installed and mounted as internal storage later. ....Update Once SD card installed, everything went smoothly on next download. Not sure why this made a difference. There was enough space left on internal storage, with a couple gigs to spare. Works as expected.

This is a great port of Doom: BFG Edition but it is a bit flawed. It's is slightly buggy, it's download gets stuck (especially with my SD card ), but other than that it's great. I'd also like to comment on how good the customer service is!
