To get the most out of the textures in the original game, add the following to your autoexec or change them in the config file: Rather than finding source images or alternatives for the really low res textures, they focused on making the character models look.different. And for some reason The BFG Edition doubles this amount. The amount of surplus ammo in the original is absurdly high, borderline comical. There are way more mods and great maps for the original, and the original is easier to mod and tweak in general. The BFG Edition omits the gunflash effect on weapons for some reason, so combined with the armor mounted flashlight, it functions identically to the duct tape mod for the original game. While it's nice to have one less weapon to cycle through in the BFG Edition, the armor mounted flashlight does this jitter motion when going up stairs, or a weird bob when crouching, which looks pretty terrible. The flashlight differences are trivial because I use it so little in both versions that it really doesn't matter, though it may be the most contentious difference. (make sure your browser page is not zoomed in to see the intended effect) I did a side by side comparison, and in order to match the BFG Edition's fov at 90, I had to set the original's to 71, and to match the original's 90, I set the BFG Edition's to 110. The FOV is zoomed in 10 degrees by default, but the same value has about a 20 degree difference. If you want BFG's lightscale while playing the original, set it to 3. If you do play the BFG Edition, setting r_lightscale to 2 restores the original lighting. Some take issue with the darkness of the original and claim BFG is brighter and therefore better, though all it seems to do is raise the light scale which completely blows out the lightest parts, and leaves the darkness as dark as ever. It could just be my hardware, so your mileage may vary. Not replaced, not improved, but removed.īFG Edition doesn't allow you to skip cutscenes, and pauses the entire game to save, which is absolutely obnoxious.ġ20 fps is nice, but depending on your monitor you'll have constant screen tearing unless you use another program to force it into borderless window mode. There are a few memorable set pieces and monster encounters from the original that are completely removed. Take them with a grain of salt because it's just my point of view.īFG Edition changes a few sounds, and generally has a more balanced sound mix than the original, but if any sound had more than five variations (most do), all but the first five are removed from the game. Below are only a few of the most obvious differences, comparisons and opinions I can think of. BFG has a few things going against it for me but ultimately they're both equally playable.
