This even applies to large studios that have full access to the program code: the half-baked ports of Skyrim (test) and Fallout 4 (tests) show that.

That being said, translating a complex monitor game like GTA V into virtual reality is no trivial task. He undoubtedly put some effort into it and probably made GTA V as VR ready as his tools would allow. Now I certainly don’t want to belittle the achievements of mod developer Luke Ross. I take off the VR goggles and get the game refunded after just one hour of play. the unusually poor performance makes my stomach queasy. Later in the game I can only move smoothly around my own axis, the mod does not support stepwise rotation. My perspective jumps wildly between outside view and eye view, and the camera moves by itself without me turning my head. I goggle again and launch the game for the second time.īut already the intro cutscene spoils the fun – and the stomach. I take the glasses off, find my Xbox gamepad and pair it with the PC. Until it occurs to me that the mod no VR controllers supported. After that, I unzip the mod into the installation folder, fiddle with the game’s Steam settings, configure the VR mod with a BAT file, set the correct audio channel for my VR goggles, put the device on and… finally start the game. I start GTA V in monitor mode and adjust the settings so that the game later displays correctly in VR. Luckily there are youtube videos that make this easier for me. After all, almost every game looks even better in VR than on a screen, I think.īut before I could start, I had to fight my way through the installation. Having missed playing GTA V for all these years, I was even more excited for my VR trip to Los Santos.
