Unreal fans, here is something special for you today. Modder ‘kwstasg’ has released a brand new version of his Unreal VR project in Unreal Engine 4. This new version of UnrealVR features 3 levels from the original Unreal game, adds animated and static meshes and packs minor changes to the lighting so it can be closer to the original.
Furthermore, this new version adds dual auto-mags, a bullet time effect and lots of particles. As such, this is no longer a mere VR tour of the first level and starts to feel more like a tech demo.
In case you weren’t aware of, Unreal VR is a total conversion of Unreal Gold, that came out in 1998, in Unreal Engine 4 with VR support. Do note that this game can also be played without a VR headset, so you should definitely download it.
What’s also really cool is that kwstasg plans to add even more levels to it. In other words, this project may one day feature all of the original levels from the first Unreal.
Here is hoping that the modder will be able to add some enemies and NPCs. It would be also cool if he could add some scripts so he could recreate some iconic scenes (like the first time you encounter a Skaarj).
Those interested can download the latest version of UnrealVR from here.
Have fun!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

WTF?! I didn’t know this was even a thing! Downloading now!
Thumbs up for the fellow Greek, KwstasG!

thank you for all the support
I just got out of VR after having played BoxVR and Thrill of the Fight for about 45 minutes. I’m drenched in sweat and exhausted. lol I frickin’ love VR. Downloading UnrealVR now. I hope it’s awesome!
Waiting for Gen-2 headsets isn’t a bad idea. Next-gen is going to be a massive jump: wireless, smaller, lighter form factors, 4K screens, possibly eye-tracking. 5G is going to reduce latency to almost nothing. Crazy insane developments coming up.
My god, Thrill of the Fight almost kills me after 4 rounds. I used to work at a gym and iv never had a work out on the level that TOTF gives.
I love TotF and it’s made by ONE GUY! I play it every day multiple times a day. It’s a great form of exercise. I set the sparring partner to 120% chin, lower his punching power a little, slow his punches a little and set a match for 9 60-second rounds and just have fun punching the crap out of him and evading his punches.
I know what you’re saying, I wish there was some way of exploring Everquest 1999 in VR.
I bought a Vive as soon as its preorders went live and was lucky enough to get one in the first wave that went out. I wouldn’t want to be without one now though, I would constantly feel like something is missing from my life.
You do know that No One Lives Forever 2 A Spy In H.A.R.M’s Way has a VR mod? Grab a Rift bundle and enjoy.
Pimax 8k series is as close as we ill get to gen 2 for the next year. But you would probably need a couple of Titan Vs to run it smoothly.
