DOOM fans are sure to be pleased that a new virtual reality trailer has been released by Bethesda Softworks at this week’s E3 2017 games event. Revealing what you can expect from the new DOOM VFR game which will be launching on the HTC Vive and PlayStation VR.
The new in-development VR DOOM trailer was showcased during Bethesda’s E3 2017 press conference, explaining that the game will launch at some point during 2017.
Immersive Gameplay Experience
If you flinched the first time you saw a meaty Mancubus charging at you in last year’s critically acclaimed DOOM, wait till you get up close and even more personal with rampaging demons in DOOM VFR. Revealed at Bethesda’s E3 2017 Showcase, DOOM VFR is a new virtual reality game from legendary developer id Software, coming to PlayStation VR and VIVE platforms.
DOOM VFR promises to deliver an immersive gameplay experience that takes the intensity of the original DOOM game to a whole new level. Players will find themselves in the shoes of a cybernetic survivor who must fight through hordes of demons in a Martian research facility. The VR aspect of the game allows players to experience the action from a first-person perspective, making the encounters with demons even more terrifying and exhilarating.
Enhanced Features and Mechanics
One of the standout features of DOOM VFR is its innovative movement system. Unlike traditional VR games that rely on teleportation or smooth locomotion, DOOM VFR offers a unique combination of both. Players can teleport short distances to dodge attacks or move quickly through the environment, while also having the option to use smooth locomotion for a more traditional FPS experience. This hybrid movement system ensures that players can navigate the game world comfortably and efficiently, without experiencing motion sickness.
The game also introduces new mechanics that take full advantage of VR technology. For example, players can interact with the environment in ways that were not possible in the original DOOM game. They can pick up and throw objects, manipulate switches and levers, and even use their hands to perform melee attacks. These interactive elements add a layer of depth to the gameplay, making it more engaging and immersive.
As soon as more information is made available by Bethesda on a launch date for the PlayStation VR or HTC Vive we will keep you up-to-date as always.
Community and Reception
The announcement of DOOM VFR has generated a lot of excitement within the gaming community. Fans of the original DOOM game are eager to see how the franchise translates to virtual reality, and many are optimistic that the game will live up to their expectations. The trailer has already received positive feedback for its impressive graphics, intense action sequences, and innovative use of VR technology.
Moreover, the involvement of id Software, the legendary developer behind the original DOOM series, has further heightened anticipation for the game. Known for their expertise in creating fast-paced, action-packed shooters, id Software is expected to deliver a high-quality VR experience that stays true to the spirit of the DOOM franchise.
