Which older PC games desperately need a VR mod? – Wishlist for the new AI/Vibe-Coded VR wave

The current wave of VR mods is absolutely insane. With UEVR and especially AI/vibe coding, we're suddenly seeing VR mods for games that we thought would never be playable in VR.

Projects like F.E.A.R., GTA Vice City, BioShock and many others show how quickly things are changing.

I'd love to put together a wishlist of older PC games that still don't have a comparable full VR mod with 6DOF/motion controls.

My personal wishlist:

  • Soldier of Fortune
  • Soldier of Fortune 2
  • Wreckfest
  • Extreme Assault
  • StarLancer
  • Star Trek: Elite Force
  • Star Trek: Elite Force II
  • Aliens vs. Predator 2
  • Max Payne
  • Max Payne 2
  • No One Lives Forever
  • No One Lives Forever 2
  • Star Wars: Republic Commando
  • Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
  • Deus Ex (2000)

I'm especially interested in games where VR would add something meaningful – classic FPS games, horror, sci-fi, racing and highly immersive games. Some of these could also run on Quest 3 standalone I assume, like Soldier of Fortune?

What games would you add to this list?

And if anyone is already working on one of these projects, please let us know! ❤️

Please note: I'm specifically looking for games that don't already have a comparable full VR/6DOF mod.

With the frame near, how do you feel about initially being forced back to steamvr?

I've exclusively used VD and even with steamvr required games it's still been in the VD shell using VDXR. Has steamvr caught up to VD yet?

Walking dead Saint and sinners not my favorite, anybody else?

I constantly see this game high up on top VR game lists so I decided to buy it. Im just getting back into non-sim VR titles just to change it up and also got Arizona sunshine 2.

Freakin loved AZ 2, alotttt. I could put it up there close to half life alyx and wish it was longer.

But walking dead was a bit of a let down after playing AZ 2. No hate to anyone that loves/loved this game, but do any others feel the same? Maybe im missing something, is there mods that make it better?
it seemed a little toon-ish in my opinion(graphics), and kinda grindy. idk why, I enjoyed scavenging in AZ 2, but scavenging in walking dead seemed over the top or something off about it that just wasn't as enjoyable, at least in my little time with it. idk lol

Any other title suggestions to try out that rival AZ 2 (for those of you who loved AZ 2)? I saw world war z, but looks a little arcadish (idk the best word to describe it).

Happy VR!

*UPDATE* To Naruto VR Game I've been working on

Hey everyone, I posted a couple weeks ago a new Naruto VR game ive been working on called Shinobi Showdown which everyone seemed pretty excited about! It's a 1v1 arena fighter where you can weave actual hand signs to cast jutsu. I've added in a TON of new assets, sfx, vfx etc. and a new lesson system which makes it much much easier to learn the signs. Right now im working on the netcode so people can play online lol. If your interested in being a play tester and have a quest 3 please join the discord down below!

Newest Version of RE4R VR Mod Is Out

https://re4vr.com/

I've played up to the combat encounter just after you meet the merchant for the first time.

I was having really bad visual artifacting at first, including very noticeable pixellation across most objects and surfaces. My rig has an i9-13900k, 5090FE, and 32gb of ram. Game is otherwise vanilla except for a Claire replacer for Ashley. Not sure why my tinkering fixed my issues but here's what I did:

Disabled the included upscaler to get rid of motion blurring on moving objects

Went into the ingame graphics options and maxed out resolution

Turned interlaced mode on, increased in game render resoluton to 150%

Turned interlaced mode back off, turned render resolution back to 120%

Now texture quality is excellent without the hideous pixellation artifacts everywhere. There's some jank with holsters (wish handgun was near my thigh so I didnt accidentally grab grenades occasionally), but the mod is otherwise such a massive improvement over the first version. Massive kudos to Talemann, especially for fixing the broken map!

Building a world with my voice

This is a project built with A-Frame (Three.js, WebXR) that lets me build virtual worlds with my voice, all from within my VR headset. My mic is hooked up to a coding agent, which in turn runs against the project codebase.

Since the agent is working directly with code, the possibilities of what can be achieved are pretty broad, essentially being limited only by what the underlying model is capable of with WebXR. The agent can build anything from simple objects, to animations, to interaction capabilities, to whole environments in order to fulfil a request.

This is still far from perfect. Latency is pretty high, taking anywhere from a minute to multiple minutes to carry out a change depending on how complex the request is. The codebase is also not very accommodating to anything that isn't a frontier model right now. Ideally this will work with smaller, local models in the future.

But the foundation exists, and as these models improve I can see this being a unique way to interact in VR. If you have ever imagined being able to put on a VR headset and transporting yourself to any world you want by simply asking, to shape that world to meet your creative vision, and to watch that world materialise around you, then in a small way, we are here.

Playing a marble game in VR with a trackball feels weirdly natural

Someone told me my marble game would probably work surprisingly well in VR, so I tried it through UEVR with a trackball.
Rolling a marble through giant marble runs while spinning a trackball with your hand somehow feels incredibly natural.
Still trying to figure out how to hide the mouse cursor in UEVR though, so let me know if anyone knows.
I've been developing this game for three years, not specifically with VR in mind, but the minimalist game design actually seems to be a pretty good fit for it.
There’s currently a playtest live on Steam, it’s called Marblearium. Can also be played with just a mouse. 
I recently optimized it for Steam Deck, but VR is probably still more suited for stronger PCs though.
I used this UEVR version:

When do you think Into The Radius 2 is coming out on quest?

I played ITR 1 and I loved that game, yes it kind of stayed longer then needed but it was still such a good game

The atmosphere is amazing, even though it’s not that much as a horror game I never stopped feeling this eerie creepy vibe

If one word would describe the game it would be “Intresting” the game is so intresting

And so loving the game so much ofc I am curious in when do you think the second is coming out on quest?

Apps to mutually hangout with non vr users

Hello, after much googling and being mislead I thought big screen supported non vr users. I would like to find an app to be able to access my pc games inside of vr while being able to have a room to hangout with friends who do not have vr! Does anyone have any apps that might work?

Older VR players

Are you fifty+ and a fan of VR? What games do you play? I really enjoy it but would like to find some older players and see how they use it. (Edit: Wow! What a response! I'll keep my eye out for the more mature players out there and I'm happy to see I'm not the only one out there still having fun!)
