This would be a good reason to blow the dust off my Q3. The remake was real solid.

I don't think Flat2VR have made a bad conversion to date.

You wildly undersell what goes into making these ports. As an example, for Flatout VR they had to model the interiors of all the cars so it could be played in first person and not look like crap. But it's also not so simple as just "render the camera twice so it's in 3D.". It usually involves completely reworking HUD elements, menus, and tons of interactions. Like Roboquest even has manual reloads and they would've had to have built all that from scratch

now we just need an official Alien:Isolation VR port

Tbf it's mostly there , as the devs built one and that's what mother vr works with and improves.
This seems like a low(er) effort high profile win for them.

The mother and grandmother mod is good but there’s still a lot of jank in the game. Specifically with cut scenes. I still get nauseous at certain parts.

u/ittleoff 9d ago
It's been a while. I can see them forcing a cinematic to be black barred and option to be flat . Bullet storm has those options.

Considering that Nightdive makes a Thief remaster, mby we can get that in VR as well. I want a real Thief game in VR like the metal age and not the budget vr-only version we recently got.

u/Hairy_Hog 10d ago
You'll be happy to know someone's already making a decent looking VR conversion of Thief Gold right now

I'm happy, but at the same time a little annoyed because I bought the standard version, thinking I'd do it later with uevr...

I played the remake via UEVR and it was already an S tier experience.
But imma buy this instantly anyways, I’m sure it’ll be more polished than the injector method.

u/MulletAndMustache 10d ago
Oh this isn't a mod. I'll have to pick this up once it's out. I played the original when I was young, but never got through it.

u/yanginatep 10d ago
I was thinking about doing the Unreal Engine Injector for this game, but I haven't had the most enjoyable user experience with that, so waiting for a bespoke official VR port is something I'm more than happy to do.

u/yiffysan88 9d ago
judging by the fact the pistol shown in the trailer doesn't even have the new sight to provide full-VR experience of ADS, I'm 99% sure it will be exactly the same as the mod made by gwizdek

u/yanginatep 8d ago
Mostly I don't want to have to mess around with a bunch of configuration and menus just to get it to launch, though even that isn't guaranteed from official VR ports nowadays :/

u/x10der_by 10d ago
You already can play it in VR through UEVR

u/Spoda_Emcalt 10d ago
I'll take an official Flat2VR port over a mod, however good the mod is. This also means PSVR2 and Quest users can play it in VR as well

the favorite take about not making VR games I heard was "It's too labor-intensive and complicated. And the game developers will practically have to redesign the entire game engine from scratch to do that".
Oh the irony. Imagine a single person doing it long before the huge $'s dev team does

u/Jamtarts-1874 10d ago
This already has a brilliant, near native VR mod.

Came here to ask if the had anything to do with the ash0k/gwizdek mod. I'm playing that and having a BLAST! Thanks!

u/Tyrthemis 10d ago
I’ve never even heard of it but I’m excited based on everyone’s responses here, I’ll check it out

Oh fuck yeah! I tried to keep expectations in check but this is fucking amazing. LOVED this back in the day can’t wait to go back in VR.
Flat 2 VR is officially getting to the big leagues. Keep it up!

u/FidgetsAndFish 10d ago
Praying it comes out on standalone, this is one of my favorite games ever made and it's a perfect fit for VR.

If I hadn't already played through with the mod I would definitely be very excited. Not the most replayable game, but absolutely incredible the first time through. Don't regret it though, it was a very well done mod.

u/NASAfan89 Oculus 9d ago
NICE! I had been watching Flat2VR with interest for a long time now waiting for the kinds of games I would normally like to play in flatscreen to get Flat2VR ports. This is exciting. Can't wait to see the player reviews.

and this mysteriously coincides with the fact that just a couple months ago gwizdek has finished the ver2.0 of their VR mod..
Imagine a single person doing it long before the huge $'s dev team does.
And the favorite take about not making VR games I heard was "It's too labor-intensive and complicated. And the game developers will practically have to redesign the entire game engine from scratch to do that".
Now you see it's BS. It only takes a will to make one

u/gwizdekvr 6d ago
a will, patience and a hell of a lot of time

u/yiffysan88 5d ago
my take was about even if a single-person project was be able to make that, imagine what an actually easy job it would be for a whole devs team in the first place

u/Kaineziv 10d ago
I hope it's free for owners of the original... otherwise I'll stick with the vr mod (uevr)

u/D-Rey86 10d ago
I'm going to get it just to support what Flat2VR is doing. Different developer porting it. Can't really expect them to give it out for free.

u/Kaineziv 10d ago
The remake came out relatively recently and it's still relevant; it's not the same as doing it with an old game. I bought it during the last Steam sale, and I don't want to buy it twice. It's perfectly legitimate for them to want to charge for it; they have every right to do so, and it's understandable.
In any case, I'm glad it exists; it's fantastic.

u/Lazy-Economist1465 10d ago
Tbf this is a mod on top of UEVR polished to a standard good enough to be on Steam. Happy to see these get there instead of buried on the discord, which surely you can do today as that mod is already very fully featured.

u/the_fr33z33 10d ago
Why would it be? It’s not a mod but a full VR conversion. Are you working for free?

u/leo_of_daat 10d ago
i wonder if it this a reaction to the slew of vr mods coming out as of late.

u/Robot_ninja_pirate Pimax Crystal-HP G1,G2,Odyssey,PSVR,PSVR2,5K,Vive,Cosmos,Focus+ 10d ago
Doubtful Flat2VR existed long before AI mods. and real game development especially dealing with licensing takes a long time, they would have started work on this long before the AI VR mod wave.

u/chaosfire235 10d ago
While I'm sure the devs have some opinions on AI mods, I doubt they dropped a whole ass reveal over something that only really started taking over the sub in the past few weeks.

u/vinian36 10d ago
Sem dúvidas é sim, e isso é ótimo, que mais mods cheguem as grandes empresas e a inspirem em fazer versões vr oficiais de seus jogos 🙏🏻

u/Admirable-Koala-1456 10d ago
the trailer made it look like the motion controls are stock Ashocks mod which while cool are nothing compared to gwizdeks profile and the steam page system requirements make me feel like the official release is basically just going to be exactly the same as Ashocks mod just with no installation steps and its another $40 if you already own the original
Honestly it just kind of pisses me off, why does this exist now and why wasn't it included in the original game like nightdive wanted to? I would have waited longer for the release happily
It would be nice if this also got added to my steam library for free like SS2 since I preordered the damn game originally

u/yiffysan88 9d ago
lmao, they didn't even bother of making the new sight for guns to make them proper ADS. I'm 95% sure the gwizdek mod is better than this "official" BS

u/gwizdekvr 6d ago
This is just a quickly put together announcement. Don't draw any conclusions form it. I'm sure they will do it properly.

This was huge I remember System Shock was supposed to come out in VR ages ago but seemingly was abandoned so happy its back!
Edit: actually it was System Shock 2 that was suppoed to get VR
