The linear levels also make for a VR experience that isn’t too disorientating, although I did lose my bearings a few times. The corridors of Doom 3 work well in VR, giving players a real sense of immersion. And it’s up to the player to mop up the problem. After the UAC opens a portal to Hell the outpost becomes overrun with zombies and demons. Having already played a modded version of Doom 3 in VR on the PC, I knew going in that this was going to be very different from the balls-to-the-wall action of Bethesda’s other Doom VR game, the subtly named Doom VFR.ĭoom 3 is set on a Martian colony where uber-corporation, the Union Aerospace Corporation, or UAC, have been up to no good.
Whilst the Doom reboot and its follow-up, Doom Eternal continue to thrill fans of first-person shooters, back in 2004 Doom 3 was less over-the-top action and more chilling corridor horror. This time, following Skyrim, Fallout 4, and the Doom reboot, it’s the turn of Id’s seminal Doom 3 to get an added dimension.
Bethesda continues its admirable support of virtual reality gaming by bringing another of its back catalogue to PlayStation VR.
