That's an impressive list of cool features! But I'm very happy already if I can play Doom 3 BFG natively on Linux, that is big news for us already. Doom 3 and Doom3: BFG Edition are in the Steam Store as Windows only, even though the game supports OS X and Linux according to Wikipedia. I know Doom 3 source is available, and I can build that. I can get the dhewm3-doom3 packages in Debian. For playing it in VR there are mainly two options: is a relatively basic VR adaption with few features. It supports OpenVR and compiles and runs unmodified on linux, but for me it had very bad performance. Is doing a much more advanced VR port, but is using pretty bad, unportable style. It supports the Oculus SDK and OpenVR, but with no option to disable the former. For compiling and running on Linux, a lot of changes to the code are necessary, which I have documented at and my fork /. The main problem remaining is that the buttons of the Vive controllers do not work, but I'm not sure why yet. Possibly something with the SDL Keycodes. Also the entire speech recognition part is ifdef'ed out because it uses the Windows API. Other than that it should be playable on Linux. So, if anyone wants to look into it.

Yes, as far as I remember that was always the case. Red Hat Linux Install PhpUnlike quake 3, doom3 never received an actual linux release, linux users were expected to buy the windows version and download the linux installer script from id's ftp server. I think that there was at some point a mac boxed copy published by aspyr, but I don't think it had the linux binaries either. It's sad for a game that was effectively ported in house, and then had its code freed up.
