Praydog has just released a beta version of the UEVR project, allowing PC gamers to experience over 11,000 UE games in 6DOF VR. This is a must-have for all VR gamers. So, don’t sleep on it.
UEVR works on a universal level and out of the box and doesn’t contain any code about a specific game. For many games, you can just press “inject” and start playing. However, for more experienced VR gamers, there is a lot that you can tweak.
A lot of triple-A UE games work perfectly fine with this mod. For instance, you can play in VR, games like RoboCop: Rogue City, Returnal, Atomic Heart and Octopath Traveller. Hell, even some UE5 games like Jusant and the Tekken 8 Demo are compatible with it.
UEVR is not only a mod or a single tool, but a whole modding framework. You could launch a game in VR and get a nice, 6DOF, more bare-bones experience on a specific game. Then someone could spend months making full manual reloading mechanics, etc. with UEVR to take the VR experience even further. UEVR also has tools that can make things like adding motion controls to a game that was never designed to have motion controls super easy and without writing a single line of code. Again, this is an incredible VR project.
You can go ahead and download the first public beta version of UEVR from this link. Below you can also find a showcase video for it.
I’ve also included the following videos. The first one gives some performance tips for VR gaming. The second is a guide to offset the camera so that it’s closer or farther from the character.
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.

Thanks, have a dislike.
Scorn in VR is insane
I don’t want games to get any more immersive then they are now, couldn’t imagine wearing some helmet or whatever for them. VR like that is a very niche thing that would need to target the most vulnerable and inexperienced like children and child-like adults. AR is probably the thin edge of the wedge with ar-huds used by fighter pilots being transitioned to some other jobs. AR contact lenses and such for “interacting” with virtual objects, or like cp77 kiroshi w filters and such. We saw the bizarre craze with pokemon go where fruity nuts were going all over like little bee drones for their sugar or zucker treats. mafia world just scamming on every level really.
Fun fact : you cant stop technology or progress. I know it makes religious types and conservatives mad since the invention of fire but thats life.
The leaked Sony (Insomniac) data showed VR has about the same userbase as MySpace.
Big tech companies have no idea what they are doing, they just got lucky in the 1980s and are trying to hold on to their monopolies by buying up and destroying startups. Sony, Apple, Microsoft, all these billion $ companies thought VR would take off.
You forgot Valve, Meta, and Google. All companies that didn’t exist in the 1980’s. Valve and Meta have put more money into VR than anyone, and from what I hear Meta is still burning billions of dollars trying to make VR and their “Metaverse” a success.
VR is fun BTW. I used to play it all the time before health issues made it too difficult.
I thought about buying one but the only game I thought Id play is Alyx. And well, I blew all my money on a “high end” system and even that only has a 3090.
Someday maybe….
Be well man, have a healthy new year!
Half Life Alyx is one of the best (if the the best) VR games out there, but there are definitely some other good ones too. I found both Skyrim VR and Fallout VR fun (although the latter performs rather poorly), and then there’s Arizona Sunshine (which now has a sequel) which is a classic VR game that’s quite fun and supports co-op, After The Fall is decent and also supports co-op, Dead Effect 2 VR is OK (although it’s disappointing that you can’t play co-op with flatscreen players), the Half Life 2 VR mods are fantastic (game of the year fantastic), Medal of Honor Above and Beyond is decent (although it also performs poorly), No Man’s Sky is OK in VR (although it does get boring fast), Population One is an interesting VR battle royale that has a flight mechanic, Phasmophobia supports VR and that’s the only way I can stand to play it (I find horror games very boring), many of the Serious Sam games have VR versions, Star Trek Bridge Crew is reasonably fun for a play through the campaign (although it doesn’t have much replay value unless you can get a team of friends together), Vertigo has an interesting story and can be somewhat enjoyable, and there’s something called Immortal Legacy The Jade Cypher VR that I had started but never played much of and it seems to be a single-player story game that you can play in VR.
There’s a lot more than I listed there, but most of the VR games I’ve played and enjoyed are the ones where you don’t have to play them standing and don’t have to be able to physically turn around in your playspace. I used to have about 3 square feet of room to play VR in, and my office chair was in that space, so I had to play seated and I couldn’t turn around IRL so anything I played had to have a control for turning left and right on the controllers (many VR games, especially early ones, have no way to turn in-game).
Just out of curiosity, what kind of health issue has made it difficult for you to use VR? You don’t have to answer of course if it’s too personal.
Over the past couple of years my energy levels have tanked, and I just didn’t have enough energy to play VR games anymore. It appears to mostly be due to hyperthyroidism, which drains the body’s levels of vitamin B12 and L-Carnitine (both of which are required for energy production), however there may be other causes as well that have yet to be discovered. I still occasionally hop into VR, but it’s not much fun when your energy levels are so low that you’re on the verge of passing out.
Damn, that sucks man. Hope you get better.
Unfortunately I don’t think it’s possible to get over hyperthyroidism, especially if it’s caused by an autoimmune disorder. Most people have to take medications the rest of their lives, and the most common prescription causes liver damage in some people so from what I understand they will often either surgically remove the thyroid or burn it to death with radioactive iodine, then put you on thyroid hormone replacement medication (which you have to take for the rest of your life since you no longer have a thyroid).
I’m managing it with supplements for now, but that’s not 100% effective in everyone.
Yeesh, sounds awful. At least you’re managing it with supplements. Maybe one day it’ll reduce to the point where you’ll only need minimal care to deal with it.
Trepang 2 with this mod VR… hoooory fock
I also tried trepang2 right after Scorn it’s very cool the depth effect.
That music in the first trailer killed it. I can’t watch that sh*t.
It’s like you read my mind You seem to know so much about this, like you authored the book. I think you could use a few pictures to drive the message home, but other than that this is a great site. I’ll definitely be back.
Hello my darling, I just wanted to express how beautifully written this post is and how it has almost all of the important information. I hope to see more blogs like this one.
I agree with all the ideas in your post; they’re convincing and will work. However, your posts are very short for newcomers. Could you lengthen them next time? Thanks for the post.
I loved it as much as you’ll end it here. The sketch and writing are good, but you’re nervous about what comes next. Definitely come back because it’s pretty much always the same if you protect this walk.
In addition, I had a wonderful time with that. In spite of the fact that both the narration and the images are of a very high level, you realise that you are anxiously expecting what will happen next. Regardless of whether you choose to defend this stroll or not, it will be essentially the same every time.
This was beautiful Admin. Thank you for your reflections.
