Join here for a chance to win 1 of 5 early copies of Half Life 2 VR, winners will be picked on Friday 2nd September (two weeks before the launch of HL2VR), you do need a copy of the original flat version of Half Life 2 on Steam to play the VR version: gleam.io/xjkpg/half-life-2-vr-early-access-steam-key-competition
Oh hey can you tell me how you recorded the gameplay for L4D2? Shadowplay only wants to capture the messed up screen and not steam VR view. Any thoughts?
@@EQOAnostalgia you can use an OpenVR plug-in for OBS, this will basically capture the feed (right or left eye) from any Steam VR game/OpenVR game. Its what I use for a lot of Steam VR games these days, especially ones that are harder to capture smoothly (Green Hell VR): obsproject.com/forum/resources/openvr-input-plugin.534/
If you use an Oculus headset you can also use Oculus Mirror, its installed by default but a little hidden. It basically opens a window (which you can capture) and it shows you exactly what you're seeing inside the headset on the screen - Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-diagnostics\OculusMirror.exe
The Valheim VR mod has been the love of my disabled life this month, having now survived 435 day’s totaling 220 real life hours! Love your list Beardo and so thankful for the flatscreen to VR modding community!
Alien isolation in vr is one of the scariest and most intense gaming experiences you can find. It blows my mind... i think im 3/4 of the way through the campaign and my god have a shat my pants a million times lol. Its heavy on the heart lol. As a tiny kid Alien 1 the film gave me nightmares haha so to now be 33 yrs old experiencing the Alien world in VR is like facing my childhood fears haha. Its soooo epic lol. I have to say tho....although not a mod...half life alyx is the most incredible gaming experience ive ever had. Cant believe how far gaming has come... felt like not that long ago we were play shitty 2d games. Vr has restored my love for gaming again after a 10 year hiatus. Bring it on man ...fingers crossed bonelab is fire :)
I lost count of how many times you said "wonky".. Left for Dead in VR is defiantly a title to be excited about, lot's of fond memories there. I think the bigger titles like Horizon need a little more stabilization before I would give them a try but the Half Life 2 mod being released on my birthday is awesome. Cracking video buddy
The Resident Evil vr mods are the best mods in a game by far. Experiencing all 4 games in VR was a dream come true and some of the best experiences I've had in my 25 years+ of gaming. Can't wait for the rtx 4080 and Valve Index 2 to experience them all again.
@@gerardonavarro3400 Yeah 1060 can't run many VR games at all. You need at LEAST a 1070 to run half of the VR games smoothly. I'd recommend a 1080 personally if you can find one at a good price.
Bro I still play No One Lives Forever 2 regularly, top 5 favorite games for sure. Much love for showing me there is VR for it, what a time to be alive.
little after I got VR, i realized how perfect Outer Wilds would be in it, found out there was a praised mod but was still unsure of how good it was - until your review here, now it is a must
The modders have outdone theirselves! Love this list! I absolutely can’t wait for HLA 2 VR. Love that you took the time to put this video out! Thanks Ben!
Thank you Ben, you always do so much for us modders!! Also, I'm honored that the Dark Souls mod made the "God tier", even with the janky first person hacked camera []-D
i don't understand the world anymore old games and Half Life 2 is back in fashion because people watch VR play and rockstar filth takes VR modders to court... Ej rockstar does it like guys at valve they sell 20 year old games again because they allow modders to make them suitable for VR!! even such a money-horny club like you can't say no to that... shitty company
The Doom 3 BFG vr mod deserves to be in the top tier. It really does feel like a native VR game with full motion controls and loads of additional vr option. It even has vr settings built into the game menus. Plus the visuals look amazing in VR.
This has been the year of pc flatscreen - vr mods honestly. Resi 2, 3, 7 & village, GTA V, Outer Wilds, Cyberpunk and Half life 2 next month! Triple A VR games are pretty low on the ground at the moment but the modding scene is so good that they can be actual port level. Praydog's Resi mods are actually insane! 😅😂

This is one of the most exciting things to happen in the VR Modding scene because it could mean VR mods for HUNDREDS of incredible AAA Unreal Engine games in full VR. The mod features full in-engine 6DOF movement, synced eye stereoscopic 3D, detached look from weapons and more! Though designed to work universally with UE4 games, it’s also a fantastic starting point for other modders to build off of to add in full motion controls, etc. There’s no release date yet, but get ready for some VERY exciting times ahead of us in the wonderful world of VR modding!
I bought Half-Life 2 recently anticipating this VR mod based on your previous coverage of this back in April. I thought I bought the Orange Box at one point, but some how it escaped me. I may be buying some of the others on this list because of the VR mods. I tend to buy way too many games and not get to all of them. I think a lot of us are like that. :)
Thanks a lot for the recommendations, and explaining the caveats with each. I love that this is a great way to re-play some amazing classic games. I've tried the HL2 mod, and it was so surreal being in a VR version of a game I've played so many times on a flat screen.
just found this video, first time watching this channel, was skipping thru the chapters , ithought, hmm whats in memorism, suddenly interested in your channel. mad respect my friend, so many people are lost in such horrible ways daily, so many are suffering, becoming disabled suddenly. (i did one year ago) and life is short as hell. thankyou for having respect. even on the internet.
If you put vorpx in the list, reshade with depth3d should be here as well. It allows you to play doom 2016, doom eternal, wwz aftermath and many others in full 3d.
As a curious fact, Alien Isolation has been a VR game since it came out in 2014, you just had to put -vr in the INI file, the developers "hid" it in case there were dizziness and not have trouble.
Valheim mid tier? bit of an odd choice, id say most people would put it in the top 3 best vr modded games since its one of the only ones with proper motion controls/mechanics built in. But you are right that the crafting is a bit janky, still tho, best one that implemented motion controls. Id put Subnautica as the first on the low tier list to be honest and its not really a mod as it is offical and half baked. What a disappointment that was, looks amazing but completely shyt without full motion controls ... specially when you compare a unofficial mod for the likes of Valheim
ive been waiting to mod valheim till mistlands.. but when it comes and let it settle im gonna mod valheim.. sooo looking forward to see my builds in VR :D
Surprised Skyrim vr wasn’t on the list, with all the mods you need to get it to actually be playable it’s basically a mod and not official 😂 Good list but Skyrim vr would definitely be at the top of mine, too good.
I tried Payday 2 in VR with mods to fix the VR and they made it an amazing experience also. Would def deserve a spot next list! I think if emuVR counts it would also count.
You right I forgot about that one. Certainly deserves to be there more than Life is Strange or Risk of Rain 2. Both of the aforementioned mods just don't play very well IMO. Especially LOS.
Even though I do have a CRT myself, I'm still interested to give EmuVR a try. Also can't wait to play Half Life 2 VR. I have played Doom 1, 2, 3, RTTCW and Half Life in VR. I'm actually surprised I didn't see Vittorio Romeo's Quake VR mod on that list.
Man, really thank you for showing us EmuVR, it's amazing. I've just seen that you can even play online with many people on the same room playing split screen. Amazing
Well worth joining the Flat 2 VR discord group, they do amazing work and are incredibly active. If you wanna know exactly how to get these old games running in VR then it's the best place to be ✌🏻
I definitely echo wanting both Condemned games in VR. That bear chase will be something else and getting up close and personal to enemies and visceral combat would be great in VR. Personally I feel the same with Wipeout as you do with Subnautica, I can't go back to playing Wipeout flat on my PS5, it has to be VR.
Bro nah to say it confused the hell out of me seeing clips from my Valheim VR video on here would be a giant understatement lmao what are the chances. Great video mate! I'm definitely going to have to check some of these mods out!
Get out of my TH-cam search history, Beardo. I was *just* looking into this and you’re freakin me out dropping this video now - which was very informative and great btw, thanks! 🤙
Just a comment, Someone released a Voxel Doom which converts all sprites to voxels, even items. So that´s perfect for Doom1. He is currently working on Doom 2 voxels
I agreed with your God Tier list, but one for me personally that I would add is The Forest. Once I played it in VR with motion controls I couldn't play it flat screen ever again and the same for Phasmophobia I suppose as well. With both having horror elements to them it's just experienced so much better in VR imo.
Hey Benjo, danke für dieses großartige Video, habe nicht gedacht das so viele Spiele die ich bereits habe eine fast perfekte VR Mod gaben. Hey Benjo, thanks for this great video, didn't realize that so many games I already own gave an almost perfect VR mod. You are the best.
Id have put Valheim into Godtier for sure. For my GraCa (5700xt) its runs very good, so many bugs have been fixed so far. The switch from flat to VR was absolutely mindblowing.
The best of my recent experience is a Return to Rapture. It is made on the engine of HL ALYX, but it brings you to the world of Bioshock. It is gorgeous. However, it has it is unique story which is a combination of ALYX and Bioshock, so maybe it is not right to list it in this video. Nevertheless, who did not tried, I recommend.
I was nervous you weren't going to say Alien: Isolation. I was relieved at the end, lol. The part where you are playing as the other character in the flashback and get to explore the ship was un-believable in VR. Visually the most jaw-dropping VR experience I've had so far. Even if it is an 8 year old game.

What a great video. The only one I haven't played is Alien Isolation.. always avoided it because I already found it unnerving in 2d. But.. time to check it out :)
Great Video, and with thought and shown bias where applicable. Thanks for taking the time to not only put this together, but to find, instal and play through these to be able to rate them for us!
Ok, I admittedly skip TH-cam videos that promote and sensationalize standalone VR. I believe it's currently a necessity for VR adoption but also single handedly destroyed most PCVR development. I've scrolled past a few of your videos before thinking they were Quest only content but you stopped me dead in my tracks with this one. Taking a look at some of your content diversity and my mistake of thinking you were just a Quest content provider had me instantly subscribe. I will be watching more of your stuff with anticipated thumbs. Kudos to your channel!
This is my kind of video as I play LOADS of VR modded games and I cannot wait for HL2! I've been playing Alyx again to prepare myself and I forgot just how incredible it is. Maybe a live stream of Alyx is in order?! (Unless you did that before I subscribed to you)
Great video. I hope it helps get these mods out there more. Of course I would have put Half-Life 2 VR Mod at top (even though I have never played this version), since I remember playing a version with some weird Hydro controllers on my DK2 (but it was awesome).
Am I missing something? Subnautica's VR Support is not a MOD as far as I know. If you said Subnautica Below Zero then it would have made sense to me, but the footage was also from Subnautica. I know the enhancements MOD for the original VR mode but it's not really clear that's whats meant here.
I disagree about Horizon Zero Dawn. I replayed it in VR all the way through and it was fantastic. I do have a 12700 KF with a RTX 3080 though. I would recommend it to any fans of Horizon Zero dawn if your computer is fast enough to play it.
which VR should I buy? I'm mainly planning on playing Left 4 Dead 2, Half-Life 2 and maybe even Skyrim VR but I have no idea which VR to buy, also I hear you need a really beefy PC to run VR, my PC is pretty old, I only have an intel core I5 3.0 ghz, gtx 1050 ti and 16 gb ram. I dunno if that's enough to run Left 4 Dead 2 VR, I hear there's also standalone VR sets but I don't know if they're compatible with Left 4 Dead 2 VR...
I appreciate this is 2 years old. But wondered if you know if EmuVR works with PSVR2 on PC? Does it use SteamVR? Thank you so much for the video btw. Even now it's really good and a lot of it still holds true
I just bought VR, I thought I needed to buy new games, but it turns out I already have a bunch of games, all I have to do is set them up and I can play, thanks for this information
I respect that these tiers are based on your opinion, and how you felt about the experience, but I think the "Nearly perfect" and "feels nearly native" is a bit misleading when games that don't have full motion control (like Alien and Subnautica) are put in the god tier "feels nearly native" category, and games that have full motion control, and even a toolbelt (Deep Rock Galactic) aren't in that same category. Just feels really arbitrary, is all, and doesn't seem helpful for people determining what mods they should take the time to setup. I don't mean to be hyper critical
Is it worth getting Sidequest for the Quest 3? Did you make a video on how you need to play the non VR titles 0in order for them to work or are they all via Virtual Desktop? Thanks
Luke Ross who created those mods was forced by Take Two to remove them. Seems the gta v download is still accessible through his github page but every other game mod file was removed. Only shot is if you find someone on the flatscreen to vr mod community on discord to help you their files.
Also enjoying Alien Isolation greatly, although I'm not sure that it'd take my #1 slot. #1 for me used to be hands down Doom3Quest, but Quake3Quest has to be a contender now. I would definitely have relevant wabbajack mods for Skyrim VR and fallout4 VR on my list ... why? because the mods add *SO MUCH* to vanilla, particularly in the case of Fallout 4 VR, which was apparently so poor a port that I basically went straight for modding without even trying the unmodded version, that they should be considered VR mods. Perhaps worthy of a video on their own? Which wabbajack mod lists are best for a variety of games, particularly those two, and how to set up?
Are you in the Flat2VR discord group? There are guides and tips for all the mods, its easily my favourite discord channel, they also update as soon as any new mods are made/available
subnautica BZ is my favorite vr mod and vr game any time is play it i am still overwhelmed how immersive it is. i just hope the next subnautica game has vr on release.
Hi Beardo and everyone. I wanted to get your opinion on this guys. I run a 12400F, RTX3080 with 16GB of RAM. Lately I've been thinking to add 2 more RAM sticks to make it 32GB of RAM and was wondering if it's worth it. Do you think it'll give me a noticeable performance boost? I play a lot of Assetto Corsa Competizione in VR. I've been able to find a good config and play quite comfortably but it'll be nice to be able to increase the resolution a bit further. Thanks for your input.
Very good list - something that vr players can work with and really usefull recommendations ;-). Maybe i would have rated two forks and raft one tier higher. I didnt play hl2 oc (though i have very high hopes from what i have seen and heared). In general i can strongly recommend the flatscreen to vr discord!
Left 4 Deas 2 VR mod multiplayer "is a pain to set up" - So you can set this up now without the risk of a VAC ban? The last I heard you couldn't so if that has changed can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm super excited to try this mod out as it's one that somehow flew under my radar until last week! But playing it multiplayer would be way better than solo
Classic games + VR Mods is a match made in heaven. Let's get some Max Payne 1 & 2, Second Sight, Perfect Dark, Prince of Persia (Sands of time falling and rewinding in VR? oh yes) Or how about some good old racing games? Need for Speed Underground 2, Burnout 3, and oh yes, Rush 2. Maybe some flight stuff? Rogue Squadron, Crimson Skies, Ace Combat? More horror you say? The Suffering, Silent Hill NUMBER ONE, or maybe stuff like Echo Night? That was a cool series that would work well. Platformers would be interesting, you can't tell me you wouldn't want to play through Banjo Kazooie's halloween level or jump through a painting in SM64
I'd like to see a Vorpx video. Games that are not "VR mods" can still be played in 3d flatish screen. And I'd like to see some reviews on that.... Nevermind, there was a vorpx section.
If you go to Flatscreen to VR Discord channel and ask nicely, you'll discover GTAV, RDR2 and Mafia VR mods didn't leave us. They're just in protective custody. Thanks Take Two. 🖕👍 Dead Space using Vorpx is on my list of faves. ♥️ Defs needs a native plugin. Hoping Luke Ross does a Stray VR mod. 😁

Well worth joining the Flat 2 VR discord group, they do amazing work and are incredibly active. If you wanna know exactly how to get these old games running in VR then it's the best place to be ✌🏻
I definitely echo wanting both Condemned games in VR. That bear chase will be something else and getting up close and personal to enemies and visceral combat would be great in VR. Personally I feel the same with Wipeout as you do with Subnautica, I can't go back to playing Wipeout flat on my PS5, it has to be VR.
Got Risk of Rain after seeing this video & I’m enjoying it. Thanks for the knowledge.
We need a Remake for this Video 😊
Bro nah to say it confused the hell out of me seeing clips from my Valheim VR video on here would be a giant understatement lmao what are the chances. Great video mate! I'm definitely going to have to check some of these mods out!
Get out of my TH-cam search history, Beardo. I was *just* looking into this and you’re freakin me out dropping this video now - which was very informative and great btw, thanks! 🤙
Just a comment, Someone released a Voxel Doom which converts all sprites to voxels, even items.
So that´s perfect for Doom1.
He is currently working on Doom 2 voxels
The voxel mod works in QuestZDoom?
Awesome video man!!
Thank you bud 😁
I agreed with your God Tier list, but one for me personally that I would add is The Forest. Once I played it in VR with motion controls I couldn't play it flat screen ever again and the same for Phasmophobia I suppose as well. With both having horror elements to them it's just experienced so much better in VR imo.
We need a new updated video, please!
oh yeah, skyrim vr technically ISN'T a mod...
but if you don't mod it you're missing out on 80% of the experience. plank changes everything
Hey Benjo, danke für dieses großartige Video, habe nicht gedacht das so viele Spiele die ich bereits habe eine fast perfekte VR Mod gaben.
Hey Benjo, thanks for this great video, didn't realize that so many games I already own gave an almost perfect VR mod.
You are the best.
So bioshock in Vorpex DOESNT work anymore??:/
VorpX support for GTAV and RDR2 is gone now too. The games just don't launch :(
Id have put Valheim into Godtier for sure. For my GraCa (5700xt) its runs very good, so many bugs have been fixed so far. The switch from flat to VR was absolutely mindblowing.
The best of my recent experience is a Return to Rapture. It is made on the engine of HL ALYX, but it brings you to the world of Bioshock. It is gorgeous. However, it has it is unique story which is a combination of ALYX and Bioshock, so maybe it is not right to list it in this video. Nevertheless, who did not tried, I recommend.
Great video man. A few mods there i wasnt even aware of!
I was nervous you weren't going to say Alien: Isolation. I was relieved at the end, lol.
The part where you are playing as the other character in the flashback and get to explore the ship was un-believable in VR. Visually the most jaw-dropping VR experience I've had so far. Even if it is an 8 year old game.

What a great video. The only one I haven't played is Alien Isolation.. always avoided it because I already found it unnerving in 2d. But.. time to check it out :)
Great Video, and with thought and shown bias where applicable. Thanks for taking the time to not only put this together, but to find, instal and play through these to be able to rate them for us!
You my friend are God Tier in the world of VR TH-cam videos :D Thank you for this!!
Ok, I admittedly skip TH-cam videos that promote and sensationalize standalone VR. I believe it's currently a necessity for VR adoption but also single handedly destroyed most PCVR development. I've scrolled past a few of your videos before thinking they were Quest only content but you stopped me dead in my tracks with this one. Taking a look at some of your content diversity and my mistake of thinking you were just a Quest content provider had me instantly subscribe. I will be watching more of your stuff with anticipated thumbs. Kudos to your channel!
Take a drink every time you hear "however". Good video dude not throwing shade 🤞
Quality video man, so much here to dig into. Thanks very much
Playing Fallout New Vegas with VORPX has worked very well for me, one of the best VR experiences I've had
This is my kind of video as I play LOADS of VR modded games and I cannot wait for HL2! I've been playing Alyx again to prepare myself and I forgot just how incredible it is. Maybe a live stream of Alyx is in order?! (Unless you did that before I subscribed to you)
This is a GREAT list, thank you for putting this together!
Great video. I hope it helps get these mods out there more. Of course I would have put Half-Life 2 VR Mod at top (even though I have never played this version), since I remember playing a version with some weird Hydro controllers on my DK2 (but it was awesome).
I wish Luke Ross or Praydog would make a VR mod for Dying Light.🤞
He's making one for Dead Island 2
Am I missing something? Subnautica's VR Support is not a MOD as far as I know. If you said Subnautica Below Zero then it would have made sense to me, but the footage was also from Subnautica. I know the enhancements MOD for the original VR mode but it's not really clear that's whats meant here.
I disagree about Horizon Zero Dawn. I replayed it in VR all the way through and it was fantastic. I do have a 12700 KF with a RTX 3080 though. I would recommend it to any fans of Horizon Zero dawn if your computer is fast enough to play it.
I’m playing it and it’s simply amazing. I dropped forbidden west to play this too and I feel I’m Aloy!
Most generic open world game
My best friend passed away in 2022 so the in memoriam section caught me off guard. She loved playing VR Games.
Fantastic list! Really looking forward to Half-Life 2
Subnautica has a mod called submersed that gives it full motion controls.
I had never considered before what it would be like to play a 3rd person game with a full VR camera perspective.
So glad Alien Isolation was number 1... Still haven't managed to get through this in VR yet... Just too scary and it makes me sweat in fear... So good
I tried last night. And let me tell you. Runs flawless, and it s a beauty 😍! Best 1st person VR experience so far.
which VR should I buy? I'm mainly planning on playing Left 4 Dead 2, Half-Life 2 and maybe even Skyrim VR but I have no idea which VR to buy, also I hear you need a really beefy PC to run VR, my PC is pretty old, I only have an intel core I5 3.0 ghz, gtx 1050 ti and 16 gb ram. I dunno if that's enough to run Left 4 Dead 2 VR, I hear there's also standalone VR sets but I don't know if they're compatible with Left 4 Dead 2 VR...
I appreciate this is 2 years old. But wondered if you know if EmuVR works with PSVR2 on PC? Does it use SteamVR? Thank you so much for the video btw. Even now it's really good and a lot of it still holds true
I just bought VR, I thought I needed to buy new games, but it turns out I already have a bunch of games, all I have to do is set them up and I can play, thanks for this information
I respect that these tiers are based on your opinion, and how you felt about the experience, but I think the "Nearly perfect" and "feels nearly native" is a bit misleading when games that don't have full motion control (like Alien and Subnautica) are put in the god tier "feels nearly native" category, and games that have full motion control, and even a toolbelt (Deep Rock Galactic) aren't in that same category. Just feels really arbitrary, is all, and doesn't seem helpful for people determining what mods they should take the time to setup. I don't mean to be hyper critical
Looks like subnautica VR DOES have motion controls now.
Is it worth getting Sidequest for the Quest 3? Did you make a video on how you need to play the non VR titles 0in order for them to work or are they all via Virtual Desktop? Thanks
Thank you for you're vr videos and stuff. Good stuff.
What do you mean in memoriam? You can't get the mods for those games anymore (gta 5, Red Dead Redemption 2 etc)?
Luke Ross who created those mods was forced by Take Two to remove them. Seems the gta v download is still accessible through his github page but every other game mod file was removed. Only shot is if you find someone on the flatscreen to vr mod community on discord to help you their files.
@@VitrescentObelisk OK thanks
the coolest thing is that the god tier games are mostly Dr. Beef mods that can be installed locally on Quest 2, no gaming PC required :)
Also enjoying Alien Isolation greatly, although I'm not sure that it'd take my #1 slot. #1 for me used to be hands down Doom3Quest, but Quake3Quest has to be a contender now. I would definitely have relevant wabbajack mods for Skyrim VR and fallout4 VR on my list ... why? because the mods add *SO MUCH* to vanilla, particularly in the case of Fallout 4 VR, which was apparently so poor a port that I basically went straight for modding without even trying the unmodded version, that they should be considered VR mods.
Perhaps worthy of a video on their own? Which wabbajack mod lists are best for a variety of games, particularly those two, and how to set up?
Cracking round up. Cracking video.
Nice work. Perhaps you can make a how-to video on to get and install theses mods.
Are you in the Flat2VR discord group? There are guides and tips for all the mods, its easily my favourite discord channel, they also update as soon as any new mods are made/available
subnautica BZ is my favorite vr mod and vr game any time is play it i am still overwhelmed how immersive it is. i just hope the next subnautica game has vr on release.
Hi Beardo and everyone. I wanted to get your opinion on this guys. I run a 12400F, RTX3080 with 16GB of RAM. Lately I've been thinking to add 2 more RAM sticks to make it 32GB of RAM and was wondering if it's worth it. Do you think it'll give me a noticeable performance boost? I play a lot of Assetto Corsa Competizione in VR. I've been able to find a good config and play quite comfortably but it'll be nice to be able to increase the resolution a bit further. Thanks for your input.
Very good list - something that vr players can work with and really usefull recommendations ;-). Maybe i would have rated two forks and raft one tier higher. I didnt play hl2 oc (though i have very high hopes from what i have seen and heared). In general i can strongly recommend the flatscreen to vr discord!
Omg, Emu VR seems like everything I wanted for vr, I should try it
Left 4 Deas 2 VR mod multiplayer "is a pain to set up" - So you can set this up now without the risk of a VAC ban? The last I heard you couldn't so if that has changed can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm super excited to try this mod out as it's one that somehow flew under my radar until last week! But playing it multiplayer would be way better than solo
Very enjoyable, thanks!
Classic games + VR Mods is a match made in heaven.
Let's get some Max Payne 1 & 2, Second Sight, Perfect Dark, Prince of Persia (Sands of time falling and rewinding in VR? oh yes)
Or how about some good old racing games? Need for Speed Underground 2, Burnout 3, and oh yes, Rush 2.
Maybe some flight stuff? Rogue Squadron, Crimson Skies, Ace Combat?
More horror you say? The Suffering, Silent Hill NUMBER ONE, or maybe stuff like Echo Night? That was a cool series that would work well.
Platformers would be interesting, you can't tell me you wouldn't want to play through Banjo Kazooie's halloween level or jump through a painting in SM64
Thanks for the great
compilation.
Great work 👍.
what was the In Memoriam bit about ? i have a rift s and vorpx , can you explain thxs ?
so true, at the moment i play alien isolation in vr and it is so scary
I'd like to see a Vorpx video. Games that are not "VR mods" can still be played in 3d flatish screen. And I'd like to see some reviews on that.... Nevermind, there was a vorpx section.
If you go to Flatscreen to VR Discord channel and ask nicely, you'll discover GTAV, RDR2 and Mafia VR mods didn't leave us. They're just in protective custody. Thanks Take Two. 🖕👍
Dead Space using Vorpx is on my list of faves. ♥️ Defs needs a native plugin.
Hoping Luke Ross does a Stray VR mod. 😁
he was working on Bioshock VR when the takedown notice happened. I was REALLY looking forward to that
Shhhh
@@madiimad meh. It's not illegal to share it since Take Two aren't a government and it's not intellectual property.
Luckily you can still download and play gta 5 vr mod since it’s not monetized like the other ones
I’m looking for a hand mod in containment initiative recon
Thank you for compiling a list for us.
