After getting a few more hours to play (I’m in Act II now) I have to say that with some fine tuning, Cyberpunk 2077 is incredible in Vorpx, assuming you have the hardware to crank everything up to the max. I think they wanted to do the game in VR but found that it was just not possible for most people given the fact that you need some pretty amazing hardware.
I really couldn’t imagine playing it any other way… I’ve noticed some bugs, and the game occasionally crashes but it’s 100% worth it. Maybe the best game since Halo CE or GTA V imho.. This is how the game was meant to be played it seems.
Here are some things I did, that may or may not suit your taste:
– significantly zoomed out the image so that I can see all of the hud, did some fine tuning on the zooming/edge peek mode so that you could really just play it in edge peek mode at times
– cranked the 3D in edge peek mode up
– changed the background to black, really helped make the game much more immersive, when in VR view it just looks like limits to my FOV rather than a floating screen
– cranked up the saturation and dialed in a few other settings like that
Kind of amazing the developers didn’t just put a mode like this in the game it’s ridiculous how much better it is than playing it on a monitor, even if this is sort of a sit-down “hyrbid VR” solution. Ralf has single handedly fixed Cyberpunk 2077 and if we ever get a full 3D mode that’s just icing on the cake.
Anyway, hardware specs if you’re curious:
Oculus Quest 2 (HP G2 finally shipped and I hear it’ll be even better)
5900x
3090FE
32GB 3600 RAM
2TB Samsung Pro PCIE 4.0 SSD
Water-cooled CPU + 9 fansSo pretty heavy duty computer, but if you can do it, it’s absolutely amazing. I wouldn’t recommend it any other way.
Hey everyone,
So ive been with Vorpx for awhile and with Lockdown 2020 going on… i assume a fair amount of us are largely indoors, looking for games to play (maybe getting bored of the games we got since we are this far into it.)
So – I thought, may not be a horrible idea to share what Vorpx experiences we had that we thought were exceptionally good (or just exceptionally unique and need to be experienced)
So, Im offering my top picks here and some of them require Mods.
First of all – Dark Souls 3 with First Person Mod.
https://www.nexusmods.com/darksouls3/mods/20/?Now, to use this mod it does require you basically “not using” many of the games mechanics. You cant really use the Lock On ability because the first person camera mod basically makes Lock on go TOTALLY insane… So you pretty much are stuck playing the game as a quick 2 handed character. Now, this sounds awful, but once you get the flow of things (and things are indeed easier to dodge in first person – you see those swings coming) you will be massacring the Dark Souls 3 monsters with well timed rolls and a solid 2 handed weapon.
Now, I dont want anyone to feel like Im sending them to their deaths here, so there is a GREAT 2 handed weapon available at the start of the game, after you kill the first boss.

Watch that video and he will lead you to the best two handed option early in game that you can level up and use all the way to the end of the game – im not lying, beat the game with zero lock on and just dodging and using that sword, leveling it up as i went. So unfortunately – Shield blocks and Spellcasting are kinda out of the window since Lock on doesnt work right… but its still an incredible experience to see the beautifucally horrific monsters in Dark Souls 3 up close and the ‘fun part’ is – your sword SWINGS where you are ‘looking’ – so there is some degree of motion controls because you will be slashing at one dude and turn your head to hit his buddy and your sword slash WILL follow your ‘face’… so you aim with your head.. its kinda glorious and fun if youre a Dark Souls Fan.
Anyways, Dark Souls 3 is totally playable like this (if youre a souls fan, i think most of us agree, Dark Souls 3 is far and away the easiest of the bunch, so this isnt impossible. Now this does use CheatEngine so you want to be playing offline for this mod)
Next up, Sekiro with a first person mod.
This one I have NOT finished the game yet – but – it seems to work much better than the Dark Souls 3 mod, it doesnt make the camera go wonky on lock ons so you can lock onto your enemies and “stand your ground” as you normally would in Sekiro (and parries seemed WAY easier in first person, seeing when their sword is about to hit you is alot easier when theyre right in your face)

This one is much easier to get up and running, dont need to worry about getting a specific sword and everything. For extra fun – if you wanted to feel a bit more like Spider Man + Sekiro, you can increase the range of your grapple hook as well, this one is just for funsies, but fuck it,youre modding the game anyhow :P

So thats the end of my Souls recommendations haha.
Onto some other fun ones. GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas and GTA 4 all have First person mods and work great in Vorpx. GTA5 has a few VR mods out there and i havent dug into it yet to know whats better or not, but you can get first person mods for Vice City and San Andreas and 4 and experience driving your car in first person, looking over your shoulder (they actually have an animation where when you look into your blind spot you see your characters shoulder leaning back like in real life to check a blind spot lol).. and being in VR listening to the absurd radio shows that pop up on there is just alot of fun.
Also just great out of the box experiences – All the Metro games. Even though it doesnt have full 3d I found a good profile for Evil Within 2 and that game features a good first person mode, it might be fun for survival horror fans to just put it up on immersive screen mode.. it was a ton of fun when I played it.
Just trying to give some recommendations to my fellow Vorpxers about games that are out there that are alot of fun.
Please feel free to add your personal favorites to this list so we can try to see if we might be able to help eachother pick out our next games
Topic: Camera and Gamepad
Hi,
Since i tried a mod for GTA 5 making it VR, i was amazed O_O and i wanted to try to run other non-vr games ( particulary 3d person games ). I found a video on youtube about Vorpx and download it…
But the results are a bit sour, i can launch some games on VR, i tried the cinema and the immersive mods, but i’m really interested in the full VR mode.
And there’s the problem.. i can’t find the way to disociate de camera movement from the headset tracking.. every time i move my head head the whole view have to move with it. The GTA 5 mod i mentionned had the camera controlled by the gamepad ( like it has to be for normal games )and in there i moved my head i could look around the world but the camera position didn’t move ..if it makes sense. It was really more immersive and more important less jarring.
Is there a hidden option , to turn the control camera from the headset to the gamepad ? I could find it in the in game menu.
Please every advice will be apreciated.
