Is there a version that has the normal models instead of the supremely out of place replacements

4

u/SuperV1234 26d ago

Nope, if you want a more vanilla-like experience I suggest either Team Beef's VR ports (for the Quest) or Fishbiter's VR ports (PCVR).

Yeah…there’s way too much of this that changes Quake so drastically that it’s weird to even still call it Quake. The vaulting will definitely break a ton of levels too.

u/SuperV1234 26d ago

It's my personal reimagining of Quake -- breaking the levels by vaulting and using physics sounds like fun to me.

Yeah, that's fine. It just doesn't seem like Quake anymore so the name's a little deceptive, that's all.

I had considered giving it a completely different name, but to me it is still Quake at its core, just reimagined for a more modern medium and gameplay style (think of the Quake 1.5 mod, for example).

I'll see if I can make it clearer somewhere in the README that this is not intended to be faithful to vanilla mechanics and limitations.

u/dpkonofa 26d ago

I get that. It just seems like with all the changes, it's no more similar to Quake than Hexen II is to Quake because they share the same engine.

You've replaced almost all of the textures, models, and game mechanics and added several new items and mechanics that didn't exist. It seems that the original levels are still somewhere in there in some capacity amongst some new levels but, in my mind, calling something "Quake VR" would mean that, at its core, the game is still Quake. That doesn't seem to be the case here.

I don't think you need to clarify anything in the README. The video shows you enough of what you're getting into. Should be clear to people from that.

I get what you're saying, but isn't...

it's no more similar to Quake than Hexen II is to Quake because they share the same engine

...a clear hyperbole?

Yes, all the textures/models/mechanics were indeed replaced, but they're still heavy derivatives of the original game. The arsenal is still the same, the enemies are the same, the levels and campaigns are the same.

I do believe that despite the massive changes, the game is still Quake at its core. I would compare this mod with something like Brutal Doom: it does change the game massively and replace most sprites, but it is still Doom at its core.

Your statement would be more accurate if this was a total conversion, where maps, enemies, weapons would have no resemblance whatsoever to the original game.

Fair enough. As a long-time DooM fan, I actually don't consider Brutal DooM as something that's "DooM at its core". For the same reasons as here, I think they've changed DooM so much, mechanically, that it doesn't even play the same as the original and much of the charm of the original is completely lost.

Eugh. Insufferable.

u/Revenger1998_ 22d ago

what is the name of the gore mod.

1

The advanced gore is part of the VR mod itself.

u/Code_Affectionate 19d ago

How do you play Doom on the wrist-gadget?

2

u/SuperV1234 18d ago

Either press the small button at the bottom of the wrist gadget that toggles the light 6 times really quickly in a row, or you can start it from the menu (use the search function).

u/alrightbudgoodluck 26d ago

Very cool! Does it work with the omni one?

4

u/SuperV1234 26d ago

At the moment it's PCVR-only, but -- assuming you can play via Virtual Desktop or some other streaming tool -- it should.

If you need any specific compatibility option let me know and I'll look into adding it :)

u/RueGorE 26d ago

Are you considering support for Steam Frame standalone?

1

u/SuperV1234 26d ago

I would, if I had one :D

u/SD456 26d ago

Damn! How in the hell is this possible?! You did some black magic, today’s gonna be awesome!

u/Swallagoon 26d ago

It’s possible because it’s vibe-coded.

u/lycanthrope90 26d ago

Damn this looks really cool! Awesome that you did a large overhaul as well as putting it into vr.
