For those who have VR & want to play DOOM - 
 
If you flinched the first time you saw a ravenous Pinky Demon 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. Featured at Bethesda’s E3 2017 Showcase, DOOM: VFR is a new virtual reality game from legendary developer id Software, coming this year to PlayStation VR and VIVE platforms.

In DOOM: VFR, the demons from Hell have wiped out everyone inside the UAC’s Martian research facility – except you. As the last known human survivor, you have to restore operational stability and stop the demonic invasion. There’s only one catch: you’re about to be slaughtered yourself. But thanks to a top-secret UAC research program, your consciousness has been transferred to an artificial intelligence matrix. Along with all kinds classic DOOM weaponry, you’ll be armed with the ability to Teleport and Jet-Strafe so you can move fast in combat and quickly close the distance between you and the demons, then blow them to bloody bits with your Tele-frag ability. As an A.I. operative, you can also transfer your consciousness to UAC devices and robots to solve puzzles and gain access to new areas (including two never-before-seen sections of the UAC Martian Research Facility).

“Developing a DOOM game specifically for virtual reality has provided an exciting opportunity to not only surround players with the world of DOOM like never before, but also let them experience and explore the UAC and Hell in new ways, playing as new characters with totally unique tools and abilities,” says Robert Duffy, CTO at id Software.

“Since the hallmark of any DOOM game is combat, we’ve made it our top priority to ensure moving, shooting and killing demons with overwhelming force in virtual reality is as brutal and rewarding as it is in the DOOM experience that fans have been enjoying for the past year,” adds DOOM Game Director Marty Stratton.

With brutal combat from the studio that pioneered the first-person shooter genre as well as modern VR, DOOM: VFR brings id Software’s trademark carnage to a standalone VR game. See Mars and Hell from a new perspective, and lay waste to an army of demonic foes in a definitive adventure custom built for PlayStation VR and VIVE.

    Dissapointed, no Oculus support and telliporting only. Plus, not the full game.

    If it were the actual DOOM game, with VR functionality, this, IMO might be pretty cool, but with this, I think I will pass. The only VR game I have really seen so far that I might be down for is Resident Evil 7. Maybe Fallout 4 VR, as well. Not sure how I feel about the floaty on screen gun, in FO4, though.

    IDK what exactly is happening but I am currently downloading a 34.7 GB update for DOOM. Maybe this is the VR support for my HTC Vive? I still have another 43  minutes to go at a whopping
    7.3 MB/s download speed.

    Are you sure it's not the 6.66 patch?

    That's what it might be. I now have a 'Arcade Mode' added that I think is part of the campaign. I don't play MP so I can't say if that has changed at all. I haven't tried the Arcade Mode yet either. I just played a few days ago and I didn't get any update until today.
     
    EDIT: According to my game Properties I now have the Demon Multi-Player DLC Pack installed. Is that the 6.66 patch?

    Yup. The 6.66 patch added a bunch of stuff, including making all the DLC packs free. It's possible you got the 6.66 patch when you played last, but the DLC part today. The DLC isn't required to play the game and I think it's a large part, if not all, of the 35gb update.

    IDK because after the update I wound up with 6 GB more available space on my SSD array. At least I know what it is now. Thanks.

    I also read it reduces the overall game size. Maybe they optimized or compressed something. No idea.
