Instead, you can wear the headgear and play the game in virtual reality.Īs stated, I played this game on the PS3. This is one of the first games you can play without a monitor or television set. This version of the game is also one of the first-if not the first-game to be compatible with the Occulus Rift VR headset. While I played it in the standard 2D mode and can’t comment on how well the game plays in 3D, it’s certainly one of the few games to incorporate the latest technology. Other than the flashlight though, those in possession of a 3D monitor or television can play the game in 3D. This may not come across as gigantic news for newcomers who haven’t played the Doom 3 before, but the either/or nature of flashlight use in the original was such a controversial topic, id decided to tweak it for the rerelease. The original Doom series inspired them all, paving the way for modern day survival based horror shooters and the FPS genre itself.įans of the original game can rejoice knowing players will be able to use a flashlight with a weapon. It all may sound like a game you’ve played before Dead Space or Mass Effect. Before you can get your warning out, however, something goes terribly wrong and you’re left to fight off an army of monstrous enemies.

On arrival, you’re sent to go oversee some of the workers, and encourage them to leave the base. You play as a new recruit aboard a military transport bound for a Martian research outpost. If you haven’t played the game, here’s a really quick introduction. It’s the same storyline, same weaponry for the most part, and the same characters. There isn’t much to say about the game if you’ve played the original PC version.

All that surprise about the ignorance of an iconic series has led me to the actual review for Doom 3: BFG Edition.
