Is it better than the Doom 3 mod that came out before?

It's a native Quest port, so it's not as good as the Fully Possessed PC mod. The main difference is lack of real-time shadows.

However, it does incorporate a lot of the features of the PC mod, including touch operated screens, IK body and arms (which seems a little broken right now), and torch in one hand with the gun in the other.

If you have a PC and a wireless/link connection then maybe the PC mod might be better, but I had lots of issues with the save games becoming corrupt and losing progress in the PC version.

I tested it out since asking the question. It's pretty good actually. The arms are funny when you look in the mirror in the bathroom lol. The PC mod was very buggy. But this seems to be work ok. The only real issue I am having is that sometimes when you go to press a button the animation hasn't completed and it doesn't register.

The issue I've had with Doom 3 on Quest is the menu system is virtually impossible to use. Trying to get it to save progress is brutal, loading is a bit easier. This is a problem because the game is currently unstable and crashes frequently, losing your progress.

I do want to try classic Doom next. Still to configure it.

Yeah the mouse cursor is broken - try moving it to the top of the screen first, that seems to make it better.

BTW, you can quicksave by moving your left controller out of view of the headset (e.g. behind your back), and then pressing the X button. Saves (no pun intended) messing around with the menus.

Thanks!

Played it through on the Rift back 2016 I think, when I first got it. It was pretty good but one point you would fall through the floor. I somehow found a way around it.

Edit: It might be later than 2016, maybe 2018, I don't recall exactly.

It's a different version I think, this one is only for the Quest/Quest 2.

Looks like a faulty Quest 2 RMA time I think.

Yup, not looking good.

Still awaiting a reply from support since I informed them of the latest. Disappointing, but to be fair, up until now they have always been very quick at getting back to me.

Bought Fit XR. Can see why it has its fans, but not my cup of tea (not at £22.99, anyway). The constant reminders that it was a "fitness class" and not a game did the opposite of motivating me

Refunded and got Thrill of the Fight instead. Much more like it (and only £7.99). After two fights I was dripping with sweat and my arms felt like lead

Might nab Synth Riders as well, as I've had a lot of mileage out of the demo.

Is there something which says which ones are more difficult than others? I'll give that a go.
Oh, actually I did just about pass Commercial Pumping on expert with rank C!

Edit: Just tested the IPD setting, I think I'm right inbetween 63 and 68 as there's very little between the two settings. Can't tell which one is better.

hang on, youve just got this and already on Expert ?

look out @Unseul

Doom 3 has launched for the Quest/Quest 2 on SideQuest, and it's an incredible port. I wouldn't have believed this was possible.

You need to own the original Doom3 on Steam, as the port needs the original files.

just a shame its doom 3, and not Doom (4) i hated doom 3, but 4 was good, not tried eternal yet

Folks, I got this 25% discount to use, what should I get?
Im looking for a blockbuster game

By the way, why in the hell is HL Alyx nearly £50 still?

Wait for the next Steam sale for Alyx. It was ~£35 during the last two sales.

Cavallino · 12 Jan 2021 at 22:43

Yep will do, Im sure its a fantastic game but I dont want to pay £50 for a game which I know once I complete I will not play again...
When will the next sale be any idea?

Haha I played a lot of the dance mat games and Guitar Hero, so I guess although not the same, it has probably helped!
I'm finding expert with slower modifier better/more fun than hard with faster modifier as there's not enough blocks with hard.
Really enjoyed the Crab Rave song. Had to go into practise mode for a little while but finished expert (normal speed) with a B rank, so pretty happy with that.

For custom songs, I read a tutorial that says to use BMBF/Beast Saber, is that the method you lot are using?

Unseul · 12 Jan 2021 at 23:27

I really enjoyed crab rave but the quick bit killed me a lot on expert. Funnily enough now on expert+ for other levels i can imagine it being rather straight forward.

Should try it on expert+ i guess.

melmac · 12 Jan 2021 at 23:49

Played about an hour of Doom3Quest today. It's really good. Doom 3 is still one of those games that I get very tense playing

Alien Isolation and Alien Vs Predator 1 and 2(the ones released in 1999 and 2001) are the other games that scare the bejaysus out of me!!

Try a few key sites it's always a bit cheaper on there.

Just spent ages in Eleven Table Tennis orienting the racket with the use of an actual racket.

Such a fun game!
The physics are insanely realistic. Now I just wish I had a bigger playspace!

McPhee · 13 Jan 2021 at 10:55

Going to be moving house soon. Upside; I'm getting a study. Downside; the rooms are all smaller, so I'm not sure I'll have much space for VR. Might have to wall mount as much as possible in the garage so I can keep the floor clear
