Ah, Doom 64. In the absence of a PC, my console-fuelled video game childhood was left with Doom 64. But, improbably, Doom 64 was great. This 1997 Nintendo 64-exclusive Doom game was not a port of the original Doom, or any of the other Doom games. Nor was it meant to be the 64th Doom game (although by this point will it be?). Rather, it was a sequel developed by Midway that took place after Doom 2....

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. As one of the few people who have enough room for a VR setup in their own home, it seems like madness that Bethesda supported the format as much as they did. While other efforts were ports of existing games, retrofitted to have HTC Vive support, Doom VFR was the only one of the three...

VR treadmills are possibly one of the daftest things on the planet. Yes, they sort of avoid that classic virtual reality hazard of tripping over headset cables and falling flat on your face, offering a way for TRUE VR immersion seekers to feel like they re really in the game , so to speak, but a) they re crazy expensive, b) take up mountains of room, and c) you still loo...

13 years after Dwayne Johnson starred in Doom, a new movie based on id Software's famous first-person shooter is in the works. But unlike The Rock's Doom, this new Doom probably won't come out in the cinema. Instead, it'll likely head straight to online, possibly even as a Netflix Original. NBC/Universal confirmed to Variety the new Doom is being handled by Universal 1440 Entertainment, which make...

When I heard a Doom game was coming to VR I just couldn't picture it. I associate Doom, both the original and the 2016 version, with speed. Slippery fast speed, racing and strafing and sliding all over the damn place like a greased lighting bolt on rocket-powered hockey skates. I just couldn't imagine the Doom experience would translate into VR, which I tend to associate with a slow, del...

I played a bit of Doom VFR last week at a preview event, and while it was on a PSVR and not the Vive, it was pretty fun. The return of telefragging is especially great: in VR, you're teleporting into ailing enemies in order to get the glory kill. Brutal, almost nauseatingly violent, but hey: that's video games. Doom VFR is out right now, so you can go ahead and telefrag until your heart ...
