Enhanced VR Experience
The DOOM 3 VR Edition is not just a simple port of the original game; it has been meticulously re-engineered to take full advantage of the PlayStation VR’s capabilities. The VR enhancements are designed to immerse players deeper into the game’s terrifying atmosphere.

The 180-degree quick-turn functionality is particularly useful for those intense moments when demons sneak up from behind, ensuring you can react swiftly to threats.
Moreover, the wrist-mounted display is a game-changer. It allows players to keep track of their health, armor, and ammo without breaking immersion, making the gameplay experience smoother and more intuitive. These features combined make DOOM 3 VR Edition a must-play for VR enthusiasts and fans of the horror-action genre.

These improvements ensure that the game looks and sounds better than ever, making the horrifying environments and monstrous enemies even more terrifying. The claustrophobic corridors of the UAC facility, the eerie lighting, and the unsettling sound design all contribute to a truly immersive horror experience.
The inclusion of iconic and otherworldly weaponry adds to the excitement. Players can wield a variety of weapons, each with its own unique feel and functionality.
