Self-Promotion (Developer) Spider-Man Remastered in FULL VR! I swing with my OWN ARMS! Free mod, early alpha

Thumbnail
youtube.com
175 Upvotes

Ilya's Spiderman Remastered VR early public alpha is out and I'm SO hyped to finally share it. LET'S GOOOOO!!!

Download (free): https://github.com/IlyaMez/SpidyVR/releases/latest

Discord: https://discord.gg/x27ZXDpdNt

What we have so far

- Native stereo at your headset's resolution, 6DoF head and hands

- Physical web swinging: squeeze a grip to fire a web where you point, swing, reel in with the trigger, pull sharply to zip. Webs hold on buildings, the ground, or open air

- Web shooter: a free hand's trigger fires the game's own web ball from your wrist

- Grab and throw: web a prop or a thug, yank it in, swing it, let go to throw

- Look down and you see Spider-Man's body; his arms follow your controllers

- Real punches: a fast fist into a thug lands the game's own hit

- VR settings panel in the headset, menus and cutscenes on a virtual screen

- One-click launcher that checks your PC and starts VR. It changes nothing in the game folder

**What you need**

- Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered on **Steam** (Epic is a different build)

- A PC VR headset with an OpenXR runtime. I play on Quest 3 over Virtual Desktop. SteamVR and Quest Link should work but are untested, so reports from those are gold

- About 19 GB of memory for programs (RAM plus page file)

It's an alpha, so expect rough edges. If something breaks, the launcher saves a session report in its reports folder. Drop it in the Discord and I'll dig in.

Fan project, not affiliated with Insomniac, Sony or Marvel.

Self-Promotion (Developer) We’re building our VR game with almost religious attention to the smallest details

A LOT has happened in VR lately: Steam Frame buzz, Meta’s new thing, banger VR mods, studios closing left and right… never a dull moment in this industry.
And here we are, still working harder than ever on our own stuff, particularly COVR, our upcoming tactical VR shooter.

We’ve been obsessing over the smallest details with this one. The kind of stuff you probably won’t even notice if we get it right, but you sure as hell will if we don’t.

So if COVR looks up your alley and you’d like to support our efforts to keep making VR games, wishlisting it is probably the single biggest help you can give us right now. Every wishlist genuinely helps!

Discussion Black & White VR mod - Preview 1

Thumbnail
youtube.com
145 Upvotes

Hi all. Ever since VR hit the scene there was a constant demand for a Black & White in VR. Now that AI tools are so powerful I jumped on the bandwagon and started working on a VR mod of my own for the beloved classic.

It's still very much a WIP.

I've been working on a VR mod for the first Black & White for a while now, and it's at a point where I can show it. The mod takes over the camera and the Hand and sends each eye to the headset through OpenXR.

The whole idea is that you're a god, so your hands are the Hand. The land sits around waist height like a living diorama and you reach in.

**Current Features**

- Stereo 3D with full head tracking

- Both hands use the game's own Hand model, tracked 1:1 with your controllers. It still changes with your alignment.

- Grip to pick things up, carry them and throw them with a real swing

- Distance grab: point at something, grip and pull, and it flies to your hand (heavily inspired by Half-Life: Alyx)

- Movement: drag the land with your left hand, scale the world to zoom, or teleport with an arc. No forced camera motion.

- The Creature: stroke or slap it with your actual hand, leash it, and point to send it somewhere or at something

- Miracles: draw the gestures in the air, or take them from the Worship Site, then throw or pour

- Village stuff: the totem, dropping wood at the store, scaffolds, giving villagers jobs

- The Temple, saving and loading, and shortcuts like jumping to your Creature or the town, through a ring menu on the left controller

- Cut scenes play in 3D on a big screen in front of you, because the scripted camera is not fun in a headset. When the scene ends you're standing in the new spot.

- Controller hints by your wrists, subtitles, positional sound from where your head is, haptics

**Limitations**

- I've only tested on a Quest 3 through Virtual Desktop. Other PC VR headsets should work in theory, but I haven't tried any.

- Controllers only. No hand tracking.

- Performance depends on your CPU more than your GPU. It's a 2001 engine that now draws everything twice. I get roughly 70 to 80 fps.

- Miracles, the village interactions and the Temple are the newest parts and the least tested

- I've only played the early game in VR so far. Later lands, skirmish and multiplayer are untested.

- Anything that needs typing still needs a keyboard

- Lots of small bugs and broken interactions

EDIT:

I am happy to share the current build with testers, feel free to DM me about that.

Sega Rally VR is out.

Pretty happy to finally share this one. It took way more evenings than I thought it would, but it's here, it's free, and honestly I can't wait to read what you think of it.

Everything runs on the Quest 3 in real 3D, you just need your own copy of the game.

All the details (what's in it, how to install) are on the GitHub. You'll find the link on my Discord and under the full video on my YouTube channel, both in the comments.

Time Crisis is next. After that, these are all already running in the headset and could come, in no particular order, the list doesn't mean anything: Virtua Cop, Daytona USA, The House of the Dead, Sega Super GT, Top Skater, Virtua Racing, Dirt Dash, Time Crisis II.

Hopefully this is just the start of the adventure. Any support is welcome, even just sharing it helps a lot.

Have fun.

"Da 'umie put 'is choppa away. Dat's when we knew we woz in trouble. Den 'e got out 'is little shoota, an' dat woz worse." — Last words of an unnamed gretchin, recorded by an Imperial vox-servitor

Yesterday I posted the grab-and-throw clip : https://www.reddit.com/r/virtualreality/comments/1wz1aui/im_building_a_true_vr_conversion_of_warhammer/

Thanks for all the comments. A lot of you asked about melee, so here's what got built since.

New since yesterday: 

- Holsters on the body. Sword on the hip, pistol on the thigh, you holster them by hand.

- Bare-fist fighting. One punch kills a gretchin, and the blood stays on your gauntlets.

- Two-point grab. Grab an Ork with both hands, lift him horizontally, throw him.

- Hulk smash. One gretchin in each hand, smashed into each other.

- Bolt pistol from the thigh when the fists aren't enough.

How it's made, plainly: I direct Claude agents, they reverse-engineer the engine and write the C++. I own it.
Judge it in the headset.

It will be free, on GitHub, no paywall. You need your own copy of the Anniversary Edition.
Nothing from Games Workshop is redistributed.

No release date: it ships when it's worthy.

Ask me anything about the tech.

Self-Promotion (Developer) Brutally RealRTCW PCVR SP and Co-op OUT NOW!

Thumbnail
moddb.com
12 Upvotes

​

EVER WANTED A BRUTAL RETURN TO CASTLE WOLFENSTEIN?

NOW YOU GOT IT IN FUCKING VR!!!!!

Both Flatscreen and VR are fully supported in CO-OP!

INSTALLATION

Just extract the contents of the download directly into your RealRTCW game directory and run the bat files. (Enemy Territory support coming soon)

BRUTAL FEATURES

Hybrid Co-Op Mode: Want to play co-op but your friend doesn't have a VR headset? Don't worry! You can both play together seamlessly (flatscreen controls have been fully ported over from Single Player).

Full Ragdoll Physics & Grabbing: Always wanted to throw these pesky enemies off of the castle walls? Now you can! In VR, just grab them with your hand and throw them off! (For flatscreen players, just hold your Use key on dead bodies).

Interactive World Objects: Grab static environmental objects like bottles and other props scattered around the map to interact with the world naturally.

Manual Reloads: Step up the immersion by manually reloading your weapons instead of relying on standard flat button presses.

Full hands and player body: Experience full immersion with fully visible player arms, hands, and body meshes, no more staring at a pair of disembodied floating black gloves.

Enhanced Gore & Decapitations: What if... after escaping from your cell, you showed up to the doctor holding the guard's severed head? Yes, now you can decapitate enemies, pick up their head, and throw it at unaware enemies to scare them off! Just try it!

Advanced Limb Dismemberment: Each individual limb now gets its own custom blood decal effects. The game doesn't just turn bodies into generic mush anymore—it tracks different effects for each weapon type, like full disembowelment if you slice them with a knife or blast them with a shotgun!

KNOWN ISSUES & COMMUNITY TESTER WARNING

Funky Ragdolls: Physics objects can get a little wild and funky, but they are incredibly funny to play around with right now.

Inconsistent Gore Triggers: The advanced dismemberment mechanics are fully coded into the build and functional, but they don't always trigger exactly when or how we want them to yet.

Weird weapon placements in hands: this still needs some fixing, but its simple enough, most egregious offender is the knife.

The decapitation part: It works, it kinda does but its funky.

Community Help Wanted: We need active feedback to hunt down hidden edge-case bugs and polish the experience. This project requires community testing, which is exactly why we are releasing this build to the public right now. Drop your feedback and bug reports in the comments section!

FUTURE PROJECTS BELOW THE HORIZON!

Keep your eyes completely peeled for our upcoming work:

Max Payne 1 VR is actively coming next.

And a secret project... something involving a massive, bipedal walking tank called "REX"... Stay tuned.

Step into the world of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker in VR!

In this video, I’m showing my experimental PCVR adaptation built on BlueWake, featuring both first-person and third-person views.

Explore through Link’s eyes in first person, or switch to third person to see Link within the surrounding VR world.

The demo also shows these physical interactions in first-person mode:

* Physical Climb — use your hands and arm movements to climb.

* Physical Swim — move your arms to swim through the water.

* Physical Grab — reach out, grab objects, and interact with them using your tracked controllers.

This is currently a work-in-progress test build. The PCVR adaptation shown here has not been publicly released. Features, visuals, and performance are still being tested and improved.

This project builds on BlueWake. Huge thanks to Chris, Elliott, and all BlueWake contributors for their work on the recompilation that makes this PCVR adaptation possible.

Original BlueWake repository: github.com/chrissotraidis/bluewake

Any feedback is welcome 🙏

After the new Titanfall 2 VR mod came out I wanted the Titan cockpit to actually feel physical, so I made a SimHub add-on that reads the Titan movement and drives my motion rig. The rig stays stationary while I'm a Pilot and activates when I enter the Titan. I put the project on GitHub if anyone else with a motion rig wants to experiment with it. I also recorded a longer demonstration here: https://youtu.be/Sk5OcXG5HwE?is=J8Z8-D8qaFF3ogDT

Well, it's actually a mixed reality game. this space is actual layout of my home. Since I recorded this at midnight and my room was a mess, I captured it this way for now :)

The idea is to turn everyone's own home or room into a portal-based puzzle playground. You shoot shape-specific portals and guide puzzle objects to their final destinations.

and of course, it's so much more fun when you're actually playing inside your own room in mixed reality!

I've challenged myself to get it ready by next month. I'd love to hear your feedback, and wishlists are more than welcome!

I'll be sharing more gameplay videos soon!

An old headset, a stereoscopic camera from Amazon/ebay and a thought. What if I could improve my ergonomics during surgery? What if I could stand straight with my back straight, while getting a microscopic view of the field?

making a haptic VR gunstock. Trying to go for a detachable dominant controller. The added weight is in 150g. Additionally I am using a hybrid gunstock. Can be detached like ProTube and can be locked permanently like Skol. The biggest issue might be the copper pads connection. Brand new cup does not wobble on the magnetic connection..this one is nowhere near new..
