Retooled For VR

Everything about Doom 3 VR Edition has been rebuilt for the PSVR system, making it a truly incredible experience.

" Feel even closer to the terror with all-new VR enhancements that allow you to peer around corners, angling your shots with flashlight-mounted weapons using motion controls, 180-degree quick-turn functionality..."

Essentially, it plays like you'd imagine a modern VR game to play but with Doom 3's iconic action-horror.

SCARY - Doom 3 is as much action as it is horror so you're in for a hell of a ride!

That also means there's going to be new textures and shaders added to the game with new sound effects to accompany the new way you're going to be playing.

Not only this, but there's a wrist-mounted display that will indicate how much health you have!
