id Software/Bethesda

Launched in 2004, the popular Doom 3 is back in VR with more horror elements and significantly improved graphics than its predecessor. Bethesda Softworks has announced the PS4 + PS VR version of “Doom 3 VR” and will release it on March 29th. Players face shooting controllers in their hands to confront zombied humans and demons on Mars with various weapons such as machine guns and chainsaws.

It’s not just a port, but you can perform operations such as lean (peak) movement unique to VR, fine adjustment when holding the weapon with motion control, and 180 ° quick turn to look back quickly. The fact that you can check your physical strength, armor, and the number of remaining bullets with the terminal attached to your left arm also enhances your immersion in the future world view.

Doom 3 a few weeks agoVR compatible version for Oculus QuestHas just been released by the development of Team Beef, but the PS VR version is also an official version, so it is expected that it will be more complete. Expansion packs “Resurrection of Evil” and “The Lost Mission” will also be rebuilt and included for VR.

Doom 3 is a style that emphasizes psychological fear rather than knocking down monsters with a powerful weapon in the series, and it may not be enough for those who seek exhilaration. However, considering that you don’t have to worry about the headset being blown off by too much movement, Doom 3’s VR conversion seems to be a good choice.

At the time of the announcement, the release date was clarified, but there is still no information on whether it is intended for the country or region of the degree and what the price is. However, since there is an introductory article (although it is a translation) on the PlayStation blog site in Japan, it seems that it can be expected to be playable in Japan as well.

As for the Doom series, “Doom VFR” was released for PS VR in 2017 as well.If you are a hardcore fan, it may be fun to compare both of them.
