New Video Takes You Deep into ‘DOOM VFR’
Guns. Demons. Speed.
One of the most popular horror games of all time enters the virtual reality arena with id Software’s forthcoming DOOM VFR, revealed earlier this year at E3. The developers are on hand at this week’s Gamescom, where they revealed more about the game.
The company’s Marty Stratton detailed the concept…
“You play as a scientist, Dr. Peters, who is part of the BFG program,” Stratton explained. “The game starts [at the research facility]… being killed as Dr. Peters… and having your consciousness transferred to their backup computer system. Through the course of the game you get to transfer that consciousness to different computer systems and technical vehicles.”
He added, “Most of the game is still about combat. That’s what Doom is all about.”
Find out how the team at id Software is bringing DOOM to virtual reality in the below video, with new gameplay footage and insights straight from the developers.
DOOM VFR is coming to PlayStation VR and VIVE platforms.

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.
A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.
Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.
Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”
“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.
“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
