The company never secured a version of DOOM 3, but it did secure the main mind behind the game. The game was touted as one of the first to support the headset, even demonstrated by id Software founder John Carmack to press reporting on the project at E3. One of the promised rewards for developer kits of the state-of-the-art headset was a copy of DOOM 3: BFG Edition. The story goes all the way back to the beginning, with the debut of the Oculus Rift on Kickstarter. This will be the second VR-focused game in the franchise after DOOM VFR, which pulled from 2016's well-received reboot. At first glance, a decades-old PC shooter may seem like an odd choice for a 2021 PSVR conversion, but DOOM 3 actually has ties to the foundations of modern VR. Among other PSVR news, Sony revealed a VR-optimized version of 2004's DOOM 3, the horror-leaning entry in the usually action-heavy franchise, called DOOM 3: VR Edition.
Even with a PlayStation VR follow-up in the works and a new console that doesn't support the original, Sony is still offering some support for PlayStation 4's virtual reality headset.
