Really happy Fracked is coming to PCVR, now Im hoping Moss 2 isn't too far off.

 

[Alextended]

Dis gonna be good. I haven't really played Half-Life 2 since it came out (and the episodes and fan maps like Minerva Metastasis etc.). It looks so damn well done.

This is a short preview of the amazing, upcoming Half-Life 2 VR Mod, led by Cabalistic and team. The mod simply needs Half-Life 2 to be installed and then you're all ready to run the greatest way of playing one of the best games of all time (no fooling with Gmod, configs, other mods, etc.). Cabalistic also added full MSAA support (which looks AMAZING in VR) and DrBeef added Vulkan instead of DX9 so the performance is fantastic (with headroom for things like additional graphic mods, etc.) The mod is still being worked on, but there are plans to have an open beta soon.

There's work to upscale some of the textures, but that's an ongoing sideproject that hasn't been completed yet. For this video, I grabbed an existing texture pack for HL2 that replaces 100% of the textures and it makes a HUGE difference in VR (as original textures are fairly low resolution). It's so much fun to be able to look at details close up in VR.

If you've already played HL2 even 100 times in the past, get ready to play it in a completely new way! The physicality alone is amazing in VR. Take a look at how you can spin the blocks in the playground just by hitting them or the way you can play tetherball with a corpse in Ravenholm. Shootouts by physically dodging for cover, manually reloading your guns, etc. is also insanely fun.

For updates on the mod, join the Flatscreen to VR Modding Community Discord Server!

~10 minutes. Fingers crossed most games will be available for all VR platforms eventually, even though I'm sure most will only show as Quest here (except those showing off with PC footage that will have to mark it as such, like Stress Level Zero's Project 4).

Started strong with more Saints & Sinners. Just a teaser though, not real gameplay.
NFL Pro Era... Meh. Looks well made I guess, sucks for the indie 2MD.
Among Us VR, again don't care but I guess looks decent enough.
3 more Schell Games... games.
Red Matter 2, nice! Looking good. Alyx grab system. Didn't feel too exciting though.
Espire 2! Espire 1 was kinda meh but hopefully sequel fixes things up. Looks nice but so did the first, fingers crossed.
Moss 2, already seen that from PSVR of course. The more platforms the better.
Ruins Magus looks very promising, been following it a lot. Hopefully won't be botched a la Nostos or something.
Cities VR been showing a lot lately. Skylines VR spin off basically.
Finally RE4 Mercenaries DLC. Free as it should be, that's good. Launching after the show, nice.
More Beat Saber, whatever.
Bonelab by Boneworks dev, Looks quite nice, not so test mappy, PC footage as said.
Zuckbot >_>
Ghostbusters by nDreams is promising.
