I haven't had time to do a lot of checking (as my Rift has had be RMA'd), but I'd say Fallout 4 is well worth trying, and Aliens: Colonial Marines (if you're not put off by it's reputation) is looking pretty nice in VR. Whether VorpX is worth the asking price, given its unavoidable limitations, is a matter of personal choice.ĪndyW1384 do you have any games you recommend trying through vorpx? Perhaps some games you know work really well with it? Other solutions do exist, and for particular games they may do a better job (I can't be sure because I haven't researched that extensively, but Vireio does have its supporters, as does TriDef). In summary, VorpX is cool, and from what I've read it is currently the most complete package for cramming old non-VR games through a VR display. There will also be graphical glitches due to some elements in games rendering without depth information, or developers using false perspective to make small, close elements seem bigger and further than they are actually rendered by the game engine. Games not designed for VR, especially first-person free-movement games (shooters and the like) will really test your tolerance for VR motion sickness.
That can be a bit clunky.Īnd (finally) VorpX can't work miracles. In lots of games VorpX has to map head movements to mouselook, and a lot of games don't allow mouselook at the same time as Xbox Controller use, so VorpX has to map the controller to keyboard/mouse control. Even if running in one of VorpX's faster, less immersive modes a mid-range PC might struggle to keep up the high framerates needed for a recent title.Īnother issue, which varies from game to game, is how well the controls work.
However, because of the way VorpX has to work, it can have rather more than twice the rendering load of the original game when run in full 3D mode (VorpX 'geometry' rendering), so running a recent game may need a very beefy PC and to have the detail settings turned down. When you do get the settings right, it can (literally) add a whole new level of immersion to a big, much loved old game Although it has profiles for games, I never found they set the FOV right for me (which is weird, because no Rift game/experience ever had a 'wrong' FOV). My experience with VorpX is that it does what it says, but it can take a lot of fiddling to get the settings right for any particular game.
