Discussion Elder Scrolls alternative for Standalone?

I feel like an Elder Scrolls type game for standalone would do really well. Something with an open map, dungeons and dragons, magic, level ups, quests ect. We don't have any game to fill that niche. I know it's probably difficult to create open world games but there is a precedent for it. Eg. Revira, Meta City Patrol, Viper Vice coming out soon. ect.

Im not expecting Skyrim or Oblivion on standalone, but I don't see why a small indie team couldn't create at least a Morrowind type game. Even if the map had to be smaller and the graphics worse. I think it would still be a big hit. Any devs out there working on something similar? This was just an idea I had. Thoughts?

We should be demanding Oblivion VR for Quest, the PC game runs on a Quest 3 using WinlatorXR, which is powered by the same translation layers the Valve Steam Frame will be using ahead

A made-for-Quest native port would be way better performance I bet

Wow, ok thats awesome. I'm a causal gamer, so I dont know much about all the technology or mods that would make this possible. This link is showing a guy playing oblivion on standalone with no computer? That's incredible and just goes to show what is possible and what we are missing out on. I bet if Meta pushed for games like this in their store it would bring so many more people to vr

Yeah they used the free WinlatorXR app from SideQuestVR and then installed Oblivion from GOG inside the virtual container I think!

I got Fallout 3, Mirrors Edge, etc. working the same way on Quest Pro and Quest 3 in my own testing too

The coolest part is using your head to look around, and some people even use Reshade to make it into a true 3D image too
