It's going to be legen...
Hey folks, sorry for the radio silence of these last few days! I was actually about to package and release the new mod at the beginning of the week, when it suddenly dawned on me that maybe there was a way to implement a first person camera for the game. (So yes, as some of you have already guessed, it is originally a third-person title.)
I hate last-minute ideas, because they inevitably bring crunch and a huge risk of failure and disappointment. Yet, there was zero chance that I could pass up on something that looked so promising. I decided to at least try to implement it, even if that meant delaying the release for some indeterminate (hopefully not too large) amount of time. Then the curiosity to actually see the game from the new perspective got the better of me, and I literally worked day and night, first to prove that it was actually possible, and after that to iron out all of the kinks. Well, most of them :-)
And now it's finished! One could say it's gone gold, in a sense. For this release, I'll be teaming up with Casandra of Cas and Chary VR, who will be doing a video (p)review on their YouTube channel. Be sure to subscribe while you're at it, as the channel is frequently updated with lots of awesome content, and be ready for the release this Saturday! I sure hope that during our final playtesting tomorrow we don't find any showstopping issues, but with Cyberpunk 2077 already on the horizon, even if there are some minor problems I will release anyway and sort them out later. After all, that's what early access is for, isn't it? Though I tend to be a perfectionist who's never satisfied with the quality of his work, but there comes a moment when the baby just wants to be born.
VR Santa arrives early this year! I hope that you'll enjoy playing the game as much as I enjoyed modding it. Well, I actually hope that for you it will be a somewhat less stressful experience []-D

Great Luke! Please, first person selection in all third person games!
Super excited for this release as well!
lol i too cannot wait although im sure we speak for every patreon here
Checking in on the status of the CYBERPUNK 2077 VR mod - is it still looking like that will be coming in January? Can't wait! Thanks agian, Luke, for all you're doing!
Thank you Todd! Here's my reply to a similar question in another thread: I'm still hoping to make it, but I don't feel like it's a deadline set in stone. I will put out the mod when it's ready, meaning that it's at least as stable and polished as the one for Horizon: Zero Dawn. I've made some good progress already, but due to the way I work and the peculiarities of modding, it's only when all the pieces fit together in the final puzzle that I'm able to say whether the result is satisfactory or not :-)
OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU LUKE
This was a big surprise and it is a alternative for me. Cyberpunk has to much questionable billboards and ads. Immoral explicit images. Until a mod removes that. Visually the lighting for hzd mod is the most realistic to actuality. Don't care if textures don't match cutscenes. Updates surely will improve.
what do you think about witcher 3
Good things come to those who wait for
when is the release of the mod?
... wait for it...
A hint for the video release time ? :P
ETA?
It's saturday we want the R.E.A.L vr mod!
Where is the mod please? It’s 09:30 in the uk?
Before I buy and download it - is it absolutely sure that it's HZD now?
Patreon since the very first RDR2 VR mod version and I didn't want to cancel it as I had hoped for a CP2077 mod. And now it's happening. The time I will be walking down the streets in Night City I will be ever thankfull for your hard work! Amazing job you doing here.
sooo..it´s saturday in my country since 3 hours now.. i´m waiting. just kidding :D thanks for your work man! :) ..and a very good morning to you :)
No worries - they have been phased out of production so i geuss they will become a bit of an oddity. It does not seem to work on double trigger either.
Please use the "Reply to comment" button to avoid creating a new thread for each comment :-) Maybe there's a way that you can configure Steam so that your controller emulates a normal Xbox gamepad?
With a steam controller that does not seem to change the resolution for me? There is a thumbpad on the right and thumbstick on the left of the controller if I click those that doesnt seem to trigger the resolution switch
I'm sorry, I don't have a Steam controller to test with. Does it recognize the double trigger gesture to activate the mod overlay?
Amazing - testing :)
in RDR2 at 2970 x 2970 the menu is horizontally shrunken - is there a way to fix that? Thanks!
Yes! Since release 1.4.3 I made a little QOL improvement to the mod: when you're using resolutions higher than 2700x2700 and the sidemenu is cut off to the left (for instance when selecting fast travel destinations), press the Menu button on the gamepad to enter RDR2's pause menu. When the game is paused, just press both thumbsticks to have the mod automatically switch to 2700x2700 resolution, then press Menu again to return to the game. That will allow you to read the sidemenu and perform interactions correctly. When you're done with the sidemenu, just do the same thing again: press Menu, then both thumbsticks, then Menu. The mod will revert to your favorite resolution.
HZD downloaded and ready to go. Would never have thought of playing this until now. Awesome stuff Luke!
One of the Patreons I have no intention unsubscribing. Keep up the good work, mate!
Thank you so much for your longstanding support, Arturs!!!
Your ambition, passion for your craft and your work rate are inspiring Luke. It's a win win for both the creator and the patrons. Patreon at its very best!
We need to clone him XD
SWEET! I’ll get downloading now so I can feature it on my channel too
No confirmation, but all the hints point to the Horizon ;)
When do Patrons get access?
Tomorrow!
Who ya gunna call? 🤪
Horizon Zero Dawn. I never finished that game. I'll replay from the beginning if that's what it is. VR on it should be awesome.
"it suddenly dawned on me" ... Luke's too smart for this not to be intentional... or is this a false lead ... humm I can see the horizon a bit clearer I think
Yes, we see it already in the horizon ;) He also said "with Cyberpunk 2077 already on the horizon"
Damn I love that post title ! Should I get Cyberpunk for the weekend ?
It's not Cyberpunk yet!! It's the other game that I had already begun working on before I put out the poll
I read the first line of this post, immediately clicked the download button for Cyberpunk.. I played that in flat mode for 4 hours and then deleted it, but I'd love to play it in VR. Then I read it's something else.. curioussss :)
I have the bladerunner mod on cyberpunk hopefully itl still work in vr. The blade runner mod only replaces the billboards around the city so should be ok. Vr and the blade runner mod will be a cyberpunk fans dream specialy if u love the film as much as me :)
Cool, I can't wait! I've already bought CP77, but there is always more room for more... :) This weekend is so great, Witcher season 2 on Friday and new mod on Saturday! Happy Holidays People!
I think I only gonna play cyberpunk in vr after the new gen update in February.
Yea I played a bit on launch but held off so they could fix the police spawns etc but then heard about possible vr mod so held off and won't play non vr now I bet it looks beautiful in vr. Once next gen cards come maybe even rtx on in VR
HZD on 1st person, OMG !!!!! Nice the partnership with Cas & Chary, one of the best VR channels, didn't know she was into mods. Even if it releases early, I'll wayt till the 22dn, for the winter sale XD PD: After this crunch you should put February as ETA for CP2077 ....
I do need to take some time off <3
I'm guessing it's Witcher 3? He's working on Cyberpunk so I'd think it would make the most sense given they're on the same engine and it also got a huge share of the votes
Witcher 3 is not DX12, and he said it was a DX12 game ...
My guess it's Bioshock.
Bioshock is first person, so not posible acording to what he says in this post
I actually have no idea, but my curiosity went through the roof
Awesome. With that clue, i guess its horizon zero dawn as others guessed earlier
Death stranding uses the same engine as horizon zero dawn Decima
That's amazing news Luke I'm glad you implemented first person view! It's definitely worth the wait. Does horizon also work on the pimax headsets without parallel projection?
whatever it is I am glad you take the time to add first person. So much more immersive
if cyberpunk 2077 is on the horizon, perhaps it's the witcher iii?
Possibly, both use varients of red engine
Anyone can guess what this game is?
Hints he has given: DX12, Open World, 3 words and 3rd person now ... in the coments of the previous post we were guessing it was HZD, but no confirmation.
