Digital Foundry : The re-emergence of virtual reality began when id Software mastermind John Carmack hacked together a Doom 3 PC build for Palmer Luckey's prototype VR headset waaaay back in 2012. Legal shenanigans followed, Carmack left id and now works for Oculus/Facebook. As for Doom 3 VR? It has re-emerged, this time as a fully formed game - but only on PlayStation VR. John Linneman goes hands-on while Alex Battaglia offers up his thoughts about the game.
The original PSVR has a great catalogue of games, but keeping the set-up working well can be a pain.
A new Doom 3 mod paints the title with Doom Eternal's colors, inducing faster-paced gameplay and a variety of other gameplay enhancements.
Join us as we take you through the basic gameplay of Humanity, an action-puzzle game where you control a glowing Shiba Inu. You place commands on the ground for a giant marching horde of people to follow. Make them turn, jump, float through the air, swim, climb, etc., all to reach the goal (or goals) in each stage.
I'm going to buy this game as soon as I post this comment, and will jump in on Saturday with Aim in hand.
I've had the disc version for PS3 for some time and never played it. Playing in vr will be so much better and immersive.
The perspective in this game is the worst I’ve seen. It looks like you’re 3 feet tall and npcs look like carnival freaks with grapefruit sized heads. Desks look like they come up to your kneecaps. Great game but weird as hell in VR.
I've played a few hours overall I've enjoyed it but the perspective is aweful there's zero world interaction the soeed you run is sickness inducing it's made my stomach churn which has only happened once before in wipeout and it's no vfr but dammit if this isn't the most fun way to play doom 3 I don't know what is
Still love it but can only do 1 hour at a time after that you start feeling a bit spewey
The complaints all seem to stem from the fact that the dev basically just flipped the VR switch on this game, and didn't think of VR-specific issues that would cause in a game that is pushing two decades in age. Scaling being the chief issue. I'm sure that a patch could be quickly worked on to rectify those issues and resolution should also get a bump. Despite the game still translating to be really good in VR (let's be honest, most games are better in VR) these issues still shouldn't exist. It's sloppy.If a mobile device like Quest can pump this game out at decent res and FPS with no real scaling issues, there's zero reason for a PS4 to have these problems.
Jumped into d3vr the other day and I'll actually agree with a lot of what DF are saying. And a patch or 2 could possibly sort out the ingame height issues. But dam, it is enjoyable.
We need HL2 psvr edition now please Valve lol. Let's relive the era 😁
