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.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
