Flat screen to VR modder Helifax has just released a new mod that brings full 6DOF VR to Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.
The mod itself is free to download from Helifax’s website and you can watch me put it through its paces in traditionally immature, VR Corner style in the video above.
The mod itself features “synced eye (single-frame stereo instanced) full 6DOF VR with Ray Tracing (not AER)” which in layman’s terms means it looks very pretty and you can fully move your head and look around in all directions.
Helifax has also implimented a kind of faux motion-control control scheme that maps the gun aiming to either the mouse or the right thumbstick of your controller of choice. It’s a unique way to control a flat screen to VR game but it’s one that takes a little while to get used to. Playing it this way means it’s impossible to aim down sights and because of this I often fumbled with the position of my gun. At the same time though, once it clicks, it does feel like a good compromise between fully immersive motion-controls and standard controller aiming.
