Check out our guide on how to install SideQuest to get started.įrom there, follow this step-by-step guide on the Doom 3 Quest website, which requires you to copy a few PK4 files from the installed Doom 3 game folder on your PC to the relevant SideQuest folder. Firstly, you’ll need to set up SideQuest for either your original Quest or Quest 2. To play, you’ll need to roll up your sleeves and get under the hood a bit. The mod itself is free, however the team is also accepting donations through PayPal.
At the time of this writing, only the original Doom 3 works (not Doom BFG). It’s an impressive mod that almost makes Doom 3 look like it was designed with VR in mind. The mod also boosts the game to 90fps, providing the smooth gameplay needed in VR to limit motion sickness. The project doesn’t contain any of the original copyrighted assets, so you’ll need to legally own Doom 3 if you want to play on Quest or Quest 2. The Doom 3 VIVE Mod, which released in 2016, introduced full room and motion tracking, along with mods to improve textures. Beef’) released the mod in full on SideQuest this week, which lets you port the game’s original files to the newly rejiggered VR-compatible game engine. There’s a few hoops to jump through to get it working, but it’s all in the name of doom-slaying. But thanks to work by consummate modders Team Beef, the iconic first-person shooter from id Software can finally be played in all its horrific goodness on Oculus Quest, replete with Touch controls.
As you’d imagine, Doom 3 (2004) wasn’t built for VR.
