After all, with 11+ hours of linear, story-driven content in the core game alone, this is exactly what many VR owners have been pining for.

DOOM 3 SUPER SHOTGUN PC

It inherently remains a PC shooter crammed into a headset вЂ“ an exciting 3D viewing experience more than it is a truly immersive piece of VR world-building that convinces you that youвЂ™ve stepped into another reality.ДЇor some, thatвЂ™ll be more than enough. On the flipside, Doom 3: VR Edition does little to place your body inside its world. Bethesda had success instilling some sense of immersion into the open-world exploration and active combat of 2017вЂ™s Skyrim VR, where swinging your swords and aiming arrows felt in-step with the platform. Rinse and repeat.ДЄgain, with a keyboard and mouse in-hand, that proved an addictive loop, but it doesnвЂ™t hold up as well inside PSVR. Just turn your brain off, hold the stick forward to sprint towards enemies, point the gun in their general direction and pull the trigger.

DonвЂ™t worry about lining up the sights on your Aim controller, as effortlessly firing from the hip more than gets the job done. ThereвЂ™s nothing uniquely вЂphysicalвЂ™ about its combat вЂ“ no need for stopping behind cover and leaning out to take pot shots as the gameвЂ™s designed around dodging attacks with fast-paced moment. Flawed as it was, even Doom VFRвЂ™s remixed content and body-bursting telefragging (essentially a bloody means of teleporting) was further along for VR development in 2017.Дoom 3, on the other hand, goes against many of the core tenants of engaging VR design in this regard and proves that what works well on a flatscreen doesnвЂ™t always translate to well to VR. ItвЂ™s the antithesis of a game like Farpoint, something that very knowingly laid its action out in front of the player and even made sure enemies crawled back into view should they go off-camera. Going beyond the initial comfort concerns (suffice to say this is a very intense experience with little in the way of options), the gameвЂ™s pacing and controls are at odds with VRвЂ™s core strengths. It doesnвЂ™t help that turning around relies on your controllerвЂ™s analog sticks and not your physical movements. Even on flat screens this is a dizzying game you quickly come to learn that, if you can hear an enemy, thereвЂ™s a good chance itвЂ™s spawned right behind you.Дiminishing returns of this repeated trick aside, the constant spinning and back-pedalling away from approaching demons doesnвЂ™t feel great inside a headset.

Holding some of the gameвЂ™s weapons with the Aim controller is rightly empowering, and lighting up the darkness with the weapon-mounted flashlight carries an unmistakable Aliens-vibe.Д«ut, even with the comparison to the most recent games in the series considered, Doom 3 is a game built around the speedy movement and the zippy turning afforded by a PC and mouse setup вЂ“ two factors that donвЂ™t complement VR design. Now nearly 20 years old, Doom 3 is far from a scary game and itвЂ™s visuals have never looked older than in VR, but thereвЂ™s a hint of heightened panic when a half-headed corpse takes a swing at you or a wall collapses to reveal a demon breathing down your neck. Certain encounters really benefit from the added squeamishness вЂ“ mostly when melee-based enemies try and rush you or the many, many times a monster leaps out from the shadows. ItвЂ™s still a fleet-footed shooter compared to other games but itвЂ™s a darker, moodier effort for Doom, with pitch-black corridors in which possessed soldiers and fleshy spiders patiently plan attacks from behind corners and hidden panels.ДЄnd itвЂ™s true that the haunting atmosphere, slower pacing and tighter corridors are better suited to VR than Doom 2016вЂ™s arena-based superheroic-action. Doom 3 offers a very different kind of hell to the 2016 reboot (and, by extension, the 2017 VR spin-off, Doom VFR).

The core of the experience is intact itвЂ™s a full port of the 2004 original with both expansions included. Certainly, the VR Edition answers the call for more вЂњcontentвЂќ in VR.
