Maybe later?

John Carmack, the creator of Doom, has said he loves making different versions of games for different platforms, and would really love to bring Doom 3 BFG Editioon to more systems. Unfortunately, he says his development team has their hands full as it is and doesn't have the time.

Carmack: “I wish that we could deploy this (Doom 3 BFG Edition) on a bunch of other code bases. I love platforms…I love looking for the fun things to do on different ones. I’ve been bringing up quietly at a bunch of the meetings, “You know, we could make a Vita version, a Wii U version, an iPhone/Android version.” All of these would be reasonable platforms to take this technology. …We do have a very busy development schedule and nothing else is really planned for that.”

BFG Edition is a re-release of the 2004 title, Doom 3, which received very good reviews. This special edition is being released on the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 on October 16th (US) and October 19th (Europe). It features "greatly enhanced graphics," better sound, a checkpoint system, and 3D support, in addition to being playable on head-mounted displays. It will also contain copies of Doom and Doom 2, although the PC version will not have multiplayer for those two titles.
