14 DAY TRIAL // Bethesda has revealed that the recently launched Doom 3: BFG Edition can be installed onto the hard drive of a Xbox 360, but this won’t give players any advantage.
Doom 3: BFG Edition came out this week, offering a remastered version of the original Doom 3, complete with its expansion and a brand new add-on, plus the classic versions of Doom 1 and 2.
The Xbox 360 version of this remake lets players install the game onto the console’s hard drive but, according to a Bethesda representative who talked with NowGamer, this feature doesn’t offer any advantage to players and, what’s more, it prevents them from playing Doom 1 or 2.
"There is no performance advantage to installing the game to your hard drive," he said. "If you choose to install the game to the Xbox 360 hard drive, you will not be able to launch Doom or Doom 2."
As such, it’s probably better for Xbox 360 owners to refrain from installing the game onto their hard drives.
