Doom 3: VR Edition Reimagines the 2004 FPS Classic in Virtual Reality

I’ll be buying it day one.

Probably the perfect DOOM game to put into VR considering the survival horror vibe and feeling of isolation that game conveys uniquely from the other entries

NOPE! Big nope! I stopped playing this game because it was going to give me a heart attack.

I guess I'm saying it's pretty great at what it's aiming for

Loved this game! Scared the crap out of me in 2D, will need diapers for this probably.

I don't think I have it in me to purchase Doom 3 AGAIN. I don't know how many copies of this game I already own....

Excellent news indeed!😎

Coooool! This’ll be a day 1 from me

I was always going to get around getting the mod set up to play Doom 3 in VR on PC.

Also the upside down faced spiders are the worst and they're going to be horrible in VR. Like poison headcrab bad lol.

Never really got into Doom. Think the lack of narrative in the first two games turned me off. Played Doom
Remake, Eternal and VFR but never really got far into them. Then Doom 3 VR mod came out for Quest 2 and it really is a great experience. Creepy, with a decent story and varied NPCs. Not sure I would enjoy it on a flat TV as it is probably just a run of the mill shooter but VR does make many average games much more enjoyable. Lotsa loud noises and jump scares. Good fun.

I couldn’t even get through the first 30 minutes of Resi7 in VR, too terrifying! Don’t think I’ll be trying this.

Nice! The BFG edition on PS3 supported 3D on compatible TVs too, I tried it briefly but the default settings were a bit too weird and I couldn't get into it. I don't think I thought to see if there were settings to change at the time as 3D at home was relatively new at the time.

Doom VFR at 6 hours long was vomit inducing for me though so I doubt I'd be able to make it through the 26 hours of Doom 3 + both expansions!

Thanks for the article.

Time to dust off the headset again and see if it still works.

I guess I'll be looking for this on the discount rack in 2022 or whenever PSVR2 comes out. Never dove in, now I'm definitely waiting it out. How healthy is the install base for PSVR these days?

I've played the game back then when it launched on pc (the non-vr version), it's a good game. Perfect game for vr since it's a horror game.

VR is JUST the thing to bring the fear back to DOOM 3. Not my favorite entry in the series, but definitely a unique one.

@NathanUC
I’m in the same boat. Have at least 3 editions on various consoles.
However this would be amazing in VR.
I bought a PC back in 2003 specially to play this amazing game.
I don’t own a VR set and was waiting for the release of the PS5 one but this may make me buy one now.....God dam it!

Good day for VR news it seems. It’s encouraging to see some momentum after a bit of a lull in major releases since Iron Man VR. Hopefully this steady stream of games will continue until the next generation of PSVR.

@Hurblyburbly Yeah, I'm honestly waiting for PS5 VR for any additional VR. The more I play it, the more frustrated I get with issues on current gen PSVR. A lot of it could have been 'improved' on ps5, but it wasn't.

Much like RE 7 I will buy this then never dare to install it 😂

I have so many versions of this game but I know for a fact that I'll buy this. And then be way too scared to get past the point it all goes hellish.

Does anyone know if this is digital only?

What a fantastic addition to VR. Getting this day one!

Just have to say that just when I thought the entire PS fanbase was just a bunch of horror fanatics, I'm happy to find a bunch of other like-minded scaredy cats when it comes to this game, here

It took me a long time to finally work through this game in 2D back in the day, and I don't particularly want to revisit that. But it does seem like the perfect VR game, almost like it was designed for it (then again, Carmack left and went to Occulus shortly after....hmm..... )

Don't think I've ever seen anyone describe DOOM3 as a classic

@NEStalgia Astute Carmack observation! Makes you think...

I'm not sure what it would look like today, but back in '04, it gave me the creeps like nothing had up till then.

Finally, a reason to get the Aim Controller out of the cupboard! Love DOOM 3, so will definitely pick this up.

As someone who got as fair as the main menu on Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, this is a hard pass

Glad I held off on buying the most recent PS4 port. Plus I get to dust off my all too neglected aim controller.

Now do Classic Doom 1&2.

If it supports the maximum headset resolution on PS5 I will buy it. I still love PSVR because it just doen't make my head and neck hurt like the other headset I own: The Quest 2. Yes, I love to play Half Life Alyx streaming wireless to the quest but it is so heavy and uncomfortable that I still prefer the PSVR, even in 2011. Can't wait for PSVR 2.
