It's a whole new port of the game given away freely to those who had previously paid for the more recent ports.

Yeah, I saw that. See my edit. I've had a chance to play it and it is pretty good. Definitely not as good as the previous ports (I spotted some lighting glitches, artefacting, and mobs getting stuck on linedefs; dark rooms also do not look as "textural" as in previous ports -- this is just what I spotted lazily playing through the first episode anyway).

But the audio options are fun, and it's nice to have an excuse to play through the whole series again (actually, I just played through Doom 1 last week and was about halfway through Doom 2, when I got news of this port (thanks to this post!), so that's why the old ports are so fresh in my mind). Also, the achievements look actually attainable rofl, for those who like to get that 100%.
