There are a lot of great VR games on PSVR like Beat Saber, Superhot, and even Hitman 3. Doom 3, One of the most popular games is set to make its way in the world of VR gaming. All the fans are waiting eagerly since the announcement. But when? How will it feel? Let us jump straight away and find all the answers.
Who can Play?
Well, Doom 3’s VR edition will be available only on Sony’s PlayStation 4 and 5. So no PC release for this game. The game is exclusive to PSVR. The game is originally developed for PS4 but will have backward compatibility with PS5. The game won’t be coming to Oculus as well but the VR community is huge when it comes to PC and Oculus gaming. Hence, a lot of modding groups out there have already ported Doom 2004 to their respective platforms unofficially.
Sony’s PS5 will have a brand new headset with a revamped controller, a single cord, and many other upgrades. This device won’t launch in 2021 but we don’t know if Bethseda has created this PSVR game by keeping that device in mind.
What’s New?
Bethesda has ensured everyone that the game won’t be just a part of the 2004 Doom 3. This game comes with its original expansion The Lost Mission and a new expansion named Resurrection of Evil. This new expansion will make full use of PSVR’s Aim controller. Bethesda has also said that the new VR enhancements will allow players to peer around corners, use 180- degree turning to notice demons who are sneaking up from behind, use your weapons from crazy angles using motion control and a detailed wrist-mounted display to show info about your health, armor, and ammo.
In the above trailer, you can see glimpses of the new features mentioned by Bethseda. There isn’t any upgrade on graphics as VR games are more about a newer experience in gameplay and game mechanics rather than an upgrade in graphics.
Doom 3 on VR – Release Date
Here comes the main question. When will we witness this game in action? Doom 3 on VR will be released on 29th March 2021. On this day, Doom 3 will join the list of VR titles that are available on PSVR. It would be great if they had officially launched this game on PCVR and Oculus as well. But I don’t think the gamers of that community mind it as they are already enjoying what PSVR users were waiting for.
Conclusion
