In saying that, I’ll tell you right now, Doom VFR (the ‘F’ in the title is a reference to the franchise’s infamous BFG guns and apparently stands for the same rude word) is bloody good on the PSVR, and certainly puts the ‘F’ in effing Hell!

I was a little disappointed, as the HTC Vive’s room-space VR and very accurate tracking would make for a good Doom VFR experience. Whilst I was keen to check out the PC version, Bethesda sent over PSVR version instead. Doom VFR allows players to enter the world of Doom in virtual reality, without the need for PC mods (the 2012 PC version of Doom 3: BFG Edition can be modded to run in VR on the PC). Literally in the same breath as they launched the Switch version of Doom, Bethesda knocked out Doom VFR, a special VR version of the game, for PlayStation VR and HTC Vive (note: not the Oculus Rift). Nintendo’s Switch recently joined the PC, PS4 and Xbox One in having a version of the game.

Like it’s stable-mate, Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the 2016 Doom reboot is gaining a reputation of being ported to every available game platform.
