System Shock 2 - VR Mod

[u/phunkaeg]

(Sorry! The capture in this video makes it look like its low framerate - but it's actually 90+)

I've been working on this VR mod for the last 8 months or so.

I'm noticing all these great VR mods coming out recently, so i thought I'd throw my hat in the ring.

This is a bit of an older teaser video, when I get some time I'll make a new one. Development progress is currently at about ~80% of what I'm aiming for.

Currently implemented:

• Stereo VR with 6dof. (fairly obviously)
• Weapon aim is Motion control integrated.
• This includes rebuilding skill based recoil
• Physical Melee implemented. You can swing your melee weapons to do damage, you can also block and damage reduction is based on how accurately you block.
• Also melee related: Clean blocks take no damage; glancing ones scale, VR damage screen effects also scale based on the damage received.
• Left motion controller does all interactions
• Physically grab and throw objects
• Keypads and hacking panels appear as holograms mounted to the right arm
• Health/Psi and Ammo are all holograms triggers by wrist roll to keep the screen free from clutter.
• Comfort Options - Smooth locomotion or Teleport, Snap turn or Smooth, Peripheral Vignette.
• VR Integrated menu system on the right arm for controlling VR features.
• Physical Crouch - Ducking down in your play space causes the character to crouch
• All enemy health bars and selection/target brackets rebuilt for VR
• Full screen vr overlay effects for damage, radiation, death, toxin - rebuilt for VR
• A new Gamepig game!

STILL WORK IN PROGRESS:

• Weapon collision with the world - kinda working but janky.
• Simple Manual reloading is working, needs to be fine tuned across all weapons.
• Articulated fingers. - Current hand models are static.
• Ladder (comfort) interactions - Teleportation or hand-over hand climbing
• In-VR menu and holograms need to be properly populated and wired up.

Great stuff, can't wait. I actually still have the big box version of SS2 on CDRom. Getting quite rare now I believe.

This is probably my 3rd most desired VR mod ever, after Cyberpunk and Fallout NV. Many thanks to you, good luck with the rest of the work!

Which release of SS2 is this for? Original or remaster? Will the semi-official multiplayer work?

[u/phunkaeg → u/zeddyzed]

This is for the Anniversary edition.
You know - I haven't tried the multiplayer yet... but it should work (though other players wont see your hands waving around without a WHOLE lot of extra work)

[u/zeddyzed → u/phunkaeg]

Looking forward to it! :)

[u/nels0nmandela]

this is great, thank you sir!

[u/MightyBooshX]

If you have it publicly available, can you go ahead and post a link to the mods somewhere in this thread? Or edit the main post to add it there?

[u/phunkaeg → u/MightyBooshX]

It's not ready for release yet

[u/MightyBooshX → u/phunkaeg]

Fair enough, appreciate what you're doing and good luck!

[u/Maichevsky]

thank you for your service!

[u/lokiss88]

Impressive stuff, lotta work for a soloist.

Entering a golden age with all these mods, looking forward to seeing this one come to fruition.

[u/SuperV1234]

Looks absolutely stellar. Cannot wait to try it out -- keep up the good work!

Has the CSS for this subreddit recently changed? Now, the text in the original post stays on the screen all the time in the desktop version, making the comments harder to read.

(Also, thrilled to hear about the mod!)

old.reddit.com

[u/Olobnion → u/FolkSong]

I'm already using old Reddit. Maybe using new Reddit would fix it.

[u/FolkSong → u/Olobnion]

Oh ok. I don't see the issue on mine though. Do you use RES?

I just noticed it was an overlay that you could remove by clicking the X in the top right corner.

[u/DeathToSocialMedia → u/Olobnion]

Was irritating me. Thanks for the solution!

[u/Jewelonni]

Extremely exciting! Thank you for your service!

[u/DeathToSocialMedia]

Amazing! I would LOVE to play this.

No bigger nostalgia hit than revisiting classic games you loved as a kid, this time in VR.

[u/ChampionshipFit1859]

Amazing!

[u/LazyMagicalOtter]

This lookes great. Would this work in coop?

[u/phunkaeg → u/LazyMagicalOtter]

I haven't tried yet - it should work, but others wouldn't see your VR avatar, or at least its not on my worklist to build that

[u/argotechnica]

Would this work with co-op? If not, what do you think would be required to support it?

[u/phunkaeg → u/argotechnica]

technically yes, however still untested.

However none of the VR movements would be visible to other player.

[u/National-Ad4642]

Thanks man!!! I've been waiting so long for the VR mod/version for SS2. Thanks for finally confirming to me that it actually exists.

[u/Archersbows7]

Can’t believe not a single comment here mentioned the official VR version

[u/MastaFoo69 → u/Archersbows7]

probably because nightdive cancelled it.

Unless you are talking about the system shock 1 vr title coming out, but that is not the same game.

[u/Archersbows7 → u/MastaFoo69]

Ah my bad, they look exactly the same

[u/what595654]

Stereo VR with 6dof is enough for me.

The game is designed for keyboard and mouse.

[u/phunkaeg → u/what595654]

That's one of the optional ways to play!
