![]() There are also minor annoyances like a flashing icon on the screen whenever I picked up a PDA or intel. Some of the scariest moments in the Doom 3 VR Edition are during these cinematics and not being able to look around and witness them kinda bummed me out. Surely this could have been done while being able to still move through an area? The cinematics playing on a flat screen in front of me also irritated the gameplay. No matter what you are doing, the game will freeze while it saves. The game includes an autosave feature that literally pops up at random times and stops the game in its tracks. ![]() I found the smooth movements easier on my eyes.ĭoom 3 VR Edition does have some rough moments in gameplay. I started off with the camera snap and disabled it after a while. ![]() Whatever your playstyle, it should work for you. You can also disable this completely and move the camera left and right with a smooth motion. One is a snap angle movement that blacks the screen out for a split second to prevent motion sickness. The game includes two ways to experience a camera rotation. Moving around in Doom 3 VR Edition is easy enough. This stopped my arms from getting tired by holding the controller up all the time. Even when I had my hands on my lap, I could easily aim around and shoot without having to lift my arms in the air. Basically, your hands are the DualShock 4 controller and moving it around moves the gun around. The best way to play is the Aim Controller but the DualShock 4 felt good too and players who did not invest in the Aim Controller can enjoy the immersion a lot more than just using the analogue sticks. I was impressed by both controller options here. It is the ideal way to play the game because you feel like the Rock while running through the corridors and shooting enemies with a shotgun in one hand. On the other hand, the Aim Controller maps the gun to the device so I could aim down sights by bringing it closer to my face and rotating it by moving it in the air.

It looks great overall but it is hard to ignore its dated design. Give or take a few rough edges.īeing a VR port, the game has not been touched visually. But it feels like a refined VR mod at least. Most of the time the game feels like a VR mod as the cinematics played out on a cinema screen in front of me and only gameplay transformed the experience in VR. Bethesda thought releasing Doom 3 VR Edition would be a way to rekindle that horror experience and they were correct for the most part.ĭoom 3 VR Edition is a full VR experience that is exactly what you think it is – Doom 3 and all of its DLC played in virtual reality. I remember it quite fondly and had countless hours playing the multiplayer at LAN parties. Instead of the fast-paced combat we enjoy in DOOM Eternal, Doom 3 was a horror game that used the shadows and a creepy space settlement to freak the life out of players.
