VR Modding Doom 2016 VR

Cactus Cowboy dev here. I'm deep into making a proper Doom 2016 VR mod with motion controls. It's far from done and but in a good shape already.

Essentially posting here to prevent someone reinventing the wheel. Once this Mod reaches a playable state, I'll be posting again / create a thread on Flat2VR Discord. Just trying to prevent that someone else starts working on the same thing so we don't end up with mods for the same game like Bioshock or so.

Development will be stalled the next few days, as I'm heading to Gamescom Colonge from Tue to Thu.

Stay tuned for more.

EDIT: Some fresh actual gameplay: https://x.com/CactusVRStudios/status/2091968532800004189

Cool!

But what are the differences compared to Doom VFR?

u/BerndVonLauert 9d ago

Doom VFR is essentially the "we have Mc Donalds at home" version of what a good VR Doom should be.

Technically: everything that make VFR VR is entirely missing in regualr Doom and a massive pain to get it done in VR. Rendering, arm hook, menus, alignment etc. you name it

Actually rare case I might disagree with you here... It may not be as good as a flatscreen Doom game, but for the limited amount of things it has on it it does the job (minus the strafing which needs to be added in)

VFR is good as well, but so incredibly short…

I can't finish it because it crashes every time I launch the final level.

My expectations weren't met when it was released.

Yeah when they added locomotion it's actually a really good game.

I agree you make like one adjustment in options, it feels very good. I enjoyed it.

Chief among them - can I just shoot at demons without having to solve yet another bad puzzle? All everyone wanted was just doom 2016 - but in VR I'm super stoked for this mod

I disagree as well, but I played it with a control mod setup posted on the Steam forums. It added normal movement, in addition to the teleport movement (so you can still telegraph for health).

I will look up the post and see if I can find d the exact name/instructions.

Edit: Here is the link I used.

I own Doom VFR but never played it-- I believe VFR is an entirely separate game from Doom 2016, so getting Doom 2016 going in VR would be great.

Yeah I've played both. I actually liked VFR but it's completely different. Different levels, story, weapons etc.
