Might’ve just been me being a weirdo..... but all the time I spent playing DooM 3 VR, I couldn’t help but drool over a damn VR port of Area 51 (2005). That game would be.......a literal dream come true to me.......
Alien isolation, bioshock, older call of duty titles, left for dead, slender the arrival, and maybe even 7 days to die or day z are some I could easily see a lot of people look at after the success of this one
I was thinking just yesterday that The Chronicles of Riddick games would be a good fit for VR. I hope we get more of these old classics, even if they are basic ports. I need Alien Isolation in VR.
How does every PSVR game not use the AIM controller? These dopes focus on "experiences" instead. I'm glad this is here, VR makes everything better, even old games.
This game made me relive my favorite gaming era. Just memories upon memories of playing DooM 3, Area 51, F.E.A.R, TimeSplitters Future Perfect, ETC.... And I just couldn’t shake just how epic those would be in VR. I’ve never had this much fun with a VR game before (except maybe Squadrons), the game is beautifully responsive, immersive, and fast paced. And the aim controller implementation works like an absolute CHARM. I swear, I used to add flashlights to my toy guns as a kid, and go around corners thinking I was in any of the previously mentioned games, as well as Resident Evil and Half Life thrown into the mix, and this game just brought my kid fantasy to life :D Second VR game to do that with flying colors (again, Squadrons made my inner child extremely happy before this) I recommend EVERYONE who can get it, to get it. More old games need to be given this treatment, I mean, I only mentioned really old, classic Xbox era games, but on the 360/ps3 era, there’s Bioshock, Dead Space, Resistance, that would work like a charm on VR. Old franchises long dead like the already mentioned Area 51, Turok, how about an Aliens VR game?, fucking.....Dino Crisis..... anyone?...... Can you imagine a VR version of Dino Crisis 2 with remastered graphics?..... I would sell my soul to whomever wants it just to make that magic possible...... Dammit so many possibilities I hadn’t even considered, all thanks to this one game.... It’s THAT good. And also, epic release price. I mean, damn.
I stopped listening to ign when they gave days gone 6.5 and said it was just ok doom plays really smooth on the vr one of the better games to come out on vr for a while
They probably will, they sold the aim bundle with Firewall Zero Hour for only $60-70 so i would imagine there are allready hundreds of thousands of people who allready owns it. Sony usually lay their plans 5-10 years ahead of time so it’s very likely that the aim controller is a part of their long term strategy for VR
Great review, thanks. I’ll probably pass on this at least until I get through the rest of my VR backlog, and because I played so much of the original Doom 3 when it first released that I practically have it memorized, but I’m glad this exists.
This is so much funner in VR and well worth the $19.99 at GameStop. I just wish they would have included Doom1 and 2 in VR, to play the originals in VR would be a trip.
Awesome review. I picked it up after your first impressions stream. I actually think that you can fix the scaling issue by reducing your in game height as low as it goes in the settings. Hopefully there is an official patch soon
I love how the guns actually sound like guns now instead of airsoft guns. but I do have an issue when playing where my weapons are placed much higher than they should be, like the SMG looks like it on my shoulder. I had this same problem with VFR.
When this game came out on PC back in 2004, I played it till I got stuck on the boss just before going to hell. Now that this came out for PSVR, I'm going to try and beat the full game this time. Wish me luck :)
I had the scale issue too, I adjusted down my vr height perspective and it appeared more properly scaled. I would recommend this approach and see if it helps
I thought they added bugs crawling in front you you to give you and uncomfortable feel, but then I discivered that the bug was not visible on the TV, and I sadly realized it's in my headset D:
For a 17 year old game, it holds up well for a modern VR conversion. The graphics are a bit blurry (like most VR games with lots of detail) and obviously not as pretty as the standard game. The controls are great even on the standard Dual Shock 4 controller and feels more like a standard FPS without having to do the head-aiming.
These comments are really insightful. How certain games would make the jump to VR and work. I recently went for a job with Sega (Unfortunately didn't get the job). One of the reasons that got me excited is looking at the franchises that could make the jump to VR. After Burner, Hang On, House of the Dead, Out Run, Space Harrier, Virtua Cop is just some I believe that would work in VR. Franchises that haven't been used for years that put into that VR format brings new experiences to the table. Has well making money for Sega in which is layed dormant. I have been playing Video games since the Atari and to my own experience, VR is nearly or equally on par with the jump from 2D to 3D. It really is staggering. That shock and pleasure playing Mario 64 is just enjoyable playing Astro bots. VR gaming is now and the future of gaming. Great review. Keep up the good work guys. 🎮
I was just looking at the game at the store, thought I was going to look for a review, I thought this was old and just watched it. Then later found out it was just a hour ago.
2:08 That's one of those things where if you don't really analyse it too much it looks really impressive, but as soon as you look closer the illusion is shattered
I've seen this complaint before I played and set my height to 5'10" in the settings (my height) and everything seems all right. Not sure if camera positioning plays a role.
After struggling to play hardly any of RE7 due to fear, I'm reassured that you say this isn't flat out scary as I don't think VR horror is for me! I loved Doom 3 when it first came out so will definitely look to get this at some point.
The problem now is just what type of contract Sony had with Zenimax before MS bought the whole company, did it allow for patching and a pro patch, or could this be all that will happen with this game on the Sony platform.
I just got this at Christmas, and wow... that's the fastest I've ever gotten motion sick in any video game. I've been playing VR long enough that it usually isn't a problem anymore, but I didn't make it 5 minutes, and that's not an exaggeration. That scale issue is also really weird to see in practice. I thought I had my camera centered wrong at first.
I always forget the AIM controllers has the “touch screen” button on it, so it took me a few days to figure out how to open your UAC•PDA. But bad-ass game
Great point about the potential for older games to be ported to VR. I'm playing this game thinking the same thing. So many possibilities and seems relatively cheap and easy to do.
Thank you for being so honest with this review. The good, the bad and the ugly. I remember thinking “why” when this was announced. I love doom 3 and played the hell out of it and but I want something a little more up to date.
Thanks for the Review Bryan ^^ I bought it, but i want to wait for a patch. The character scale is just too wrong and the controller offset is too huge. I cannot aim down with that. I wish i could change the offset to my liking...but there is no Option :/
I have been playing Doom 3 PSVR none stop since it came out I love it this is the first Doom I played when I was a kid for the OG Xbox and it is sooooo much better in VR!
I am still tempted as I'd didnt enjoy VFR much but no multiplayer humpf 😞 I so wanted to coop this game online, although I may still pick up thebphysicL whne it releases on UK in 2 weeks time
@@WithoutParole That is literally what we do, draw a texture (picture) then stick it on a the side of a 3D object. The illusion is shattered! Maybe Doom 3 VR didn't draw those pictures well enough.
@@mustardcustard9381 haha i know dude, i've been rendering 3D spaces since 1999 - it's what I went to school for. The disconnect came from my wording. I should have said something like "it looks like a pre-schooler drew a sketch of what he thought a gun should look like..." which would have made the message much clearer. It's bad artwork. And trust me, I wrote and rewrote that line a few times but eventually it was 3am and had to finally push the review out the door hoping that people would understand what I was trying to say. I'm an artist, not a writer lol... but i do my best. :D
Bro I completely forgot the 3d rudder was a thing, my dad bought it for me and I never used it because none of the games I played supported it. I still feel bad over that honestly.
How did this game get a 9/10 with so many glaring issues? I’m currently playing hitman 3 and doom 3 just sounds like the reverse of that game, bad graphics but well implemented controls. At this point I can’t even tell if I like hitman 3 or does it just look really good. I think I’ll pass on doom until there’s an update and try The Persistence instead🤔 Probably just play RE7 for the 18766388 time
I personally wouldn’t call the graphics in Doom 3 bad. Just a bit blurry. And it’s fun as hell which makes up for the few complaints I had. But that’s why I go into detail about the pluses and minuses in each review - so you can make the decision for yourself if the good stuff outweighs the bad. And it seems like you did exactly that. :D
I just finished my second run in Doom VFX and my copy of Doom 3 VR is arriving today. Bioshock with the Aim controller. That is the end all get all for me.
From the first time I put on a PSVR headset and saw a human NPC, I thought they were too small. Whether it was 'The Invisible Hours' all the way to 'Iron Man,' NPCs in VR, to me, always had smaller frames and shorter stature. So, if that to say that the NPCs in 'Doom 3 VR' are even smaller yet?
Some games have done a pretty good job, but you're right. A lot of games haven't nailed the scaling. Doom 3 is much worse than any of the ones you listed.
There’s actually a very nifty option in the menu to change player height to correct enemy and NPC scale :D almost finished this and am absolutely loving it!
The DS4 implementation is so good, I like using it just as much as the aim(which is nice of I'm feeling particularly lazy 😅). Also special shoutout to the chainsaw, dang that is super fun to wield in VR! Here's hoping they fix the scaling and add a pro patch for resolution. To be fair to this port, the resolution is pretty solid for base PS4 owners like me who are used to PSVR games being more blurry in general. Definitely much better than VFR on base hardware.
@@notofthisgod32 head height doesn't fix the scaling issues. Adjust the eye distance in the PSVR system settings is a better fix. Although the more you enlarge the scale of the world and enemies, the more comically large your hands and weapons get.
I'd probably give it about a 7/10 max due to all the issues you mentioned, I'm so surprised it hasn't got a pro patch at all....and the framerate isn't exactly smooth sometimes as well.
Another great review! I hope they will enable Moves. DOOM VFR was sick with them! I hated teleport movements but to enjoy DOOM VFR, I learned. Now it opened me to other games and it dont bother. Looking forward to DOOM 3!
Hey Ripley. You can adjust your height, but that's different than world scaling. Being shorter doesn't change the proportions of the enemies and NPCs. And I'm not complaining that the autosave feature exists (I'm very happy it does) - only that it's obtrusive when it happens. Hope that clarifies things a bit! :D
@@WithoutParole I agree with all your points Bryan just thought it might help a little. Hopefully they will patch the game as it’s a great to see old games come back to life in VR. Keep up the great work Bryan your one of the best VR channels for a reason
This is why I’m gonna investigate side loading to get the DOOM 3 (VR modded /Dr beef version) on the Oculus. I’ve heard the modded version is the definitive VR version.
I definitely had a bunch of complaints but none of them got in the way of me loving every minute of this game. Every time I decided to play for an hour or so it ended up being 4-5 hours before I quit! :D
A must buy for the Aim support, but it annoys me to no end that Aim support is not handled at the system level. All the buttons map directly to PS4 controls. If a VR game has controller support, Aim support should be a given. The only difference is light bar vs. light ball. Then if developers want to distinguish between the two they could, but really, The PSVR should have this patched in just like boost mode for PS4 Pro on older PS4 games. Excellent review. Been looking forward to it ever since your first livestream!
... What's that forth, unsupported PS VR accessory in the pro/con list? Thought I'd kept up with pretty much the entire ecosystem, but must have missed that one.
The Quest 2 modded version has the option to change your character's height. You can also choose to watch the cinematics in 2D or 3D (with multiple camera angle options). Hopefully the devs take note of Dr Beef's approach. I'll still be buying this version whatever they do though, the improved audio and Aim support are big plusses.
I think I'm gonna buy an aim controller to revisit this game in VR! I loved the game back then and I really hope that the VR version of it will not disappoint me. I would love to have Half-Life VR on PlayStation :) P.S. What does the 4th picture below mean at 6:03?
![Doom 3 VR Edition [PSVR] Review](/img/n.gif)
Now we just need Alien Isolation to make the jump to PSVR.
Wow. Now I need it.
Dude - I need Aliens VR. It’s the only VR experience I want. But I want to shoot Aliens. So maybe something more like AVP
@@LaMOi1 like Aliens: Fireteam then?
@@majoraccident1924 yes...
Isolation has a vr mode in the code already. I don't know why they are so scared to implement it. But it's the only way I'll play the game.
To any developers reading these comments, just know that if you port these old classic games, we really will buy them.
Might’ve just been me being a weirdo..... but all the time I spent playing DooM 3 VR, I couldn’t help but drool over a damn VR port of Area 51 (2005).
That game would be.......a literal dream come true to me.......
We need BIOSHOCK VR now
Seen it as a patch on half life Alyx and it looks amazing
Doom 3 VR gave me big system shock vibes as well. Honestly Sony should just port every notable shooter and imsim to VR
OMG YES !!!
I fucking know right !! I'd really like dead space too but I mean it was 3rd person
Speaking of nostalgia, I'd love to see house of the dead vr!!
Aim support... I am in.
Now I suddenly want F.E.A.R. in VR :-D
Yes please!
Fuck yes.
Resistence:Fall of Man is the one I would love to see. The guns were amazing and would kill in Vr w/Aim
Killzone 2 & 3, maybe Mercenary too 😎
I remember playing it on the ps3 those were the good times
I want a vr version of alien isolation
If they ported over the PS3 version, they could probably do it
Yessss please!
there is a modded pc vr version of both alein isolation and doom vr
Great Review. We Need More VR Ports like This . Hope for Alien Isolation , Borderlands 3 and Bioshock
We need house of the dead/ time crisis bundles in psvr
Alien isolation, bioshock, older call of duty titles, left for dead, slender the arrival, and maybe even 7 days to die or day z are some I could easily see a lot of people look at after the success of this one
Would love the Chronicles of Riddick games also maybe Goldeneye! So many older fps
I was thinking just yesterday that The Chronicles of Riddick games would be a good fit for VR. I hope we get more of these old classics, even if they are basic ports. I need Alien Isolation in VR.

@@buzzsawgr81 if you’re standing it will be waist level. If you’re sitting it won’t be.

Since everyone is spewing out their VR game requests, I would love a subnautica vr

Thanks for the review Bryan! Omg this is one of the best aim controller games we have gotten!
It's great to have another game to play with the AIM
Someone please bring Battlefield 1942 to PSVR!!!

I did not catch that, but he mentioned DLC. Is the DLC included on the disc or do you have to download it separately?
Idk if mine is messed up or what but my screen is stuttery. Its slightly but when looking at certain screens is kinda annoying.
Are you on PS5?
@@WithoutParole yea
That might be it. There's a handful of games that have issues on PS5 that were fine on PS4/Pro...
Sounds good
I might get it
I wonder if the games blurry graphics are improved on ps5 in the same way dreams vr and many other vr games are?
Unfortunately not. On the PS5 it's identical which isn't a huge surprise. Only about 5 or 6 games look better running on PS5 versus the PS4 Pro.
Doom 3 VR is not even optimized for Pro...
Another great review! I hope they will enable Moves. DOOM VFR was sick with them! I hated teleport movements but to enjoy DOOM VFR, I learned. Now it opened me to other games and it dont bother. Looking forward to DOOM 3!
You can adjust your height in the options and also disable auto save bri
Hey Ripley. You can adjust your height, but that's different than world scaling. Being shorter doesn't change the proportions of the enemies and NPCs. And I'm not complaining that the autosave feature exists (I'm very happy it does) - only that it's obtrusive when it happens. Hope that clarifies things a bit! :D
@@WithoutParole I agree with all your points Bryan just thought it might help a little. Hopefully they will patch the game as it’s a great to see old games come back to life in VR. Keep up the great work Bryan your one of the best VR channels for a reason
@@ripleyjgaming5480 aww thanks dude :)
This is why I’m gonna investigate side loading to get the DOOM 3 (VR modded /Dr beef version) on the Oculus. I’ve heard the modded version is the definitive VR version.
I was not expecting that 9 based on the rest of the review lol
I definitely had a bunch of complaints but none of them got in the way of me loving every minute of this game. Every time I decided to play for an hour or so it ended up being 4-5 hours before I quit! :D
A must buy for the Aim support, but it annoys me to no end that Aim support is not handled at the system level. All the buttons map directly to PS4 controls. If a VR game has controller support, Aim support should be a given. The only difference is light bar vs. light ball. Then if developers want to distinguish between the two they could, but really, The PSVR should have this patched in just like boost mode for PS4 Pro on older PS4 games.
Excellent review. Been looking forward to it ever since your first livestream!
... What's that forth, unsupported PS VR accessory in the pro/con list? Thought I'd kept up with pretty much the entire ecosystem, but must have missed that one.
The last one is the 3D rudder foot controller.
@@ryepop Thanks!
I'd never heard of that one.
Can someone explain what vignette means in the options I use smooth turn with it off thanks
A "vignette" (we generally refer to them as "blinders") is a black fog that appears in your peripheral vision to help prevent motion sickness.
The Quest 2 modded version has the option to change your character's height. You can also choose to watch the cinematics in 2D or 3D (with multiple camera angle options). Hopefully the devs take note of Dr Beef's approach.
I'll still be buying this version whatever they do though, the improved audio and Aim support are big plusses.
How is this with DS4? Also, I thought if they made Skrim VR, Fallout 3 VR would be cool.
To my extent of knowledge the game is good with the DS4. AJ was playing it on the discord the day it came out with it and had no complaints
How was the game's performance + load times? I'm on a base PS4 (with an SSD)
Performance and load times should be practically identical.
Since Doom 3 is open source I bet you can find a fan created VR version for PC that's way better.
I think I'm gonna buy an aim controller to revisit this game in VR! I loved the game back then and I really hope that the VR version of it will not disappoint me.
I would love to have Half-Life VR on PlayStation :)
P.S. What does the 4th picture below mean at 6:03?
3rd party Vr tools where you can move also in game
