PS Vita: Rinnegatamante teases a Doom 3 port to the console (video)
Scene developer Rinnegatamante, the man of a thousand ports to the PS vita, has teased yet another impressive port, this time of Doom 3on the PS Vita. Check his videos below.
Doom and Doom 2 are pretty much running on anything these days, but the same cannot be said of Doom 3. That’s partially because the game is less iconic, but also because it is much more resource demanding. It’s impressive to have it run on the PS Vita.
The developer hasn’t shared much details on what has been done to achieve the port, but his second video shows the game running with “ultra” settings, albeit with downgraded texture quality (that’s for the game to actually work with the console’s limited VRAM, according to Rinnegatamante).
Based on the two videos posted, it seems the game runs overall reasonably smoothly at an average 20fps, although significant framerate drops can be seen in some scenes. A door opening (and probably loading the next scene) in particular sees a drop to 5fps. We’ll need to see some actual action phases to understand if the game is playable in its actual state or not.
One particular scene drops to 5fps in this early port, but overall the game seems to perform nicely.
Rinnegatamante has performed some miracles for the scene in the past, with popular ports such as GTA 3, Quake 3, GTA San Andreas, and more… So it wouldn’t be surprising if this upcoming Doom 3 port is impressive.
Check out the two videos below.

This is neat hope mods work with it. The Dark Mod anyone?
OMG YES!.. but I’m 90% sure it won’t be possible, sadly. The Dark Mod is no longer actually a mod, had its engine thoroughly tweaked and enhanced with modern rendering techniques, and was already more power hungry than vanilla Doom 3.
But having an adequate 3D stealth action on a Vita would be neat. And no, that collection of games about a certain chain smoker Pacman who hides in cardboard boxes doesn’t cover that niche.
Nothing surprises me yet. I’m, nevertheless, quite impressed. He and The Flow have put several companies to shame!
Hoping for someone to reverse-engineer NFS Most Wanted 2005 and port it to PS Vita.
Now this is the only game i want (others are already ported thanks to developers)
Or Underground 2.
U2 has much more chances so who knows, maybe we will see it
Yep
Bro there is already NFS most wanted 2005 in PSP just use adrenaline to play it on ps vita
I want this so much that I dreamed about it few days ago 😀
I’m still waiting for that Dead Space mobile port
There are few of us waiting with the hope. Dead Space Mobile is a great game.
P.S. Running Doom 3 on PS Vita is very, very impressive.
Little by little, we can all actually contribute to help solve the problem. They’re currently asking for help with development. As this is an our-community effort and not a GameStop pre-order. No offense to anyone.
Rofl your suggestions, while there is still no Deus Ex port
