Doom 4 (http://www.joystiq.com/game/doom-4) will be compatible with the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset (the onethat was over-funded (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/08/02/oculus-rift-vr-headset-kickstarter-funded-in-24-hours/) via Kickstarter in less than 24 hours last week), just like its baby brother, Doom 3 BFG Edition (http://www.joystiq.com/game/doom-3-bfg-edition). id Software has been involved with Oculus Rift for some time, showing off Doom 3 BFG running on Rift at this year's E3 and including a copy of the game with every Rift dev kit.

"I'm excited for once Doom 3 ships, and gets out there, I'll put all this stuff into the Doom 4 platform, which will be nice to take our current top-of-the-line stuff and have that in virtual reality," id's John Carmack told Polygon (http://www.theverge.com/gaming/2012/8/3/3218320/doom-4-oculus-rift) at QuakeCon. "I'm looking forward to doing that."

The Oculus Rift Kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1523379957/oculus-rift-step-into-the-game) has so far raised more than $1.26 million of its desired $250,000, with 26 days to go.
