Doom VFR - Available on HTC Vive, PlayStation VRĪn actual Doom VR game has been a long time coming. Here’s a rundown of what to expect from Doom, Fallout, and Skyrim in virtual reality. It’s impressive that Bethesda has managed to squeeze these massive games onto a headset at all, but the final products leave much to be desired. And, in most regards, they end up as a lesser experience in VR. Each has been tweaked in some way to better suit virtual reality - Doom’s action is less intense, while Skyrim now utilizes motion controls - but they’re still clearly games designed for traditional screens. In practice, though, the games don’t work out quite so well. With a VR headset, you can become fully immersed in the thrilling horror of Doom, the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Fallout, or Skyrim’s picturesque fantasy realm.
Whereas many developers and publishers have toyed with the medium, releasing smaller experiments to test the waters, over the last few weeks Bethesda has released three of its biggest games in VR.
Bethesda has really gone all-in with virtual reality.
