Any game like Hitman VR but like... good?
Earlier Hitman games using VorpX? Not ideal but can for sure work. or https://github.com/fholger/thedarkmodvr
- The Dark Mod 2.11 has been Released
- (Thief Style game using the Doom 3 engine) "The Dark Mod" has been updated to version 2.11 !!!
-
any good free vr games that you can play with keyboard and mouse?
yes, check out The Dark Mod. The VR version can be downloaded here (developed by one of the devs that brought us the excellent Half-Life2 VR mod). It is a seated m&k game based on the Thief universe.
- Am I the only one that thinks that thief would make an excellent vr game?
-
Games that would be great in VR but will never have a version
I only know of vorpX. There is also a VR mod for The Dark Mod, which is almost Thief.
- i'm playing it in vr!
-
VorpX reviews are really negative?
The thing about VorpX is that like, you need to spend a good deal of time configuring stuff, as even with the cloud profiles things can feel wonky at times. It's not a replacement for something akin to a native fan port like The Dark Mod VR or GZDoom VR which gives the controls and visual movement an upheaval to work in VR, it's more akin to duct taping VR support onto a game. I do think VorpX is worth having, just not $40 worth having since as far as I know there's no free trial and it's not for everyone.
