Remastered Doom 3 and virtual reality

Tweet

Remastered version of Doom 3 is coming to PS3 and xbox360 soon. It will contain old expansion pack and the brand new levels. Also the flashlight will be mounted on the armor so you don't have to switch it every time you have to shoot something. I hope it's only optional feature since I think that the fact that you couldn't hold the light and shoot at the same time made the original scary. But here's the interesting part. The "new" Doom will have support for 3D TVs and head mounted VR displays. here you can watch the video demonstration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=vIkrQK60N-4 At first I couldn't help but laugh when I saw this virtual boy like looking device, but it actually seems pretty awesome. Mind the device is just the prototype and the final version will be much smaller and look better. Usual 3D glasses look pathetic in comparison. With this you can only see the game as you're seeing it through your eyes and it even tracks your head movement. I guess this is as immersive as it gets for the games right now. It's perfect for the first person shooters and it would be a little less amusing for the other genres or watching movies. What do you think about it? Will this be the future of gaming or do you think it won't stick and nobody would ever buy it? And would you even want to play like that?
