It's going to be legen...
Added 2021-12-16 21:50:12 +0000 UTCHey 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!

2022-01-25 17:51:34 +0000 UTCChecking 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!
2022-01-23 21:23:37 +0000 UTCOH MY GOD I LOVE YOU LUKE

2021-12-21 00:39:37 +0000 UTCThis 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.
God's love sent Jesus to save us, not judge us.

2021-12-18 11:52:12 +0000 UTCwhen is the release of the mod?
2021-12-18 11:28:16 +0000 UTCHope you're right.. Horizon Zero Down in VR would be epic :D
2021-12-18 11:20:10 +0000 UTCMaybe the game is one of the MASS EFFECT games. Edit, scrap that. The "Zero", "dawned" and then "Horizon" in the text is the biggest clue ever. Still, Mass Effect trilogy in VR would be wonderful.
Rob Cram
2021-12-18 11:02:12 +0000 UTCA hint for the video release time ? :P
Cercata
2021-12-18 10:34:10 +0000 UTC... wait for it...

2021-12-18 10:27:57 +0000 UTCETA?
Chris Hatton
2021-12-18 10:24:21 +0000 UTCIt's saturday we want the R.E.A.L vr mod!
Christian
2021-12-18 09:57:34 +0000 UTCWhere is the mod please? It’s 09:30 in the uk?
Chris Hatton
2021-12-18 09:36:28 +0000 UTCBefore I buy and download it - is it absolutely sure that it's HZD now?
Andre Warringa
2021-12-18 09:20:10 +0000 UTCPatreon 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.

2021-12-18 02:24:21 +0000 UTCPlease 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?
LukeRoss
2021-12-18 00:13:46 +0000 UTCNo 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.
Stuart
2021-12-18 00:03:03 +0000 UTCI'm sorry, I don't have a Steam controller to test with. Does it recognize the double trigger gesture to activate the mod overlay?
LukeRoss
2021-12-17 23:28:15 +0000 UTCWith 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
Stuart
2021-12-17 22:52:05 +0000 UTCAmazing - testing :)
Stuart
2021-12-17 22:33:12 +0000 UTCYes! 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.
LukeRoss
2021-12-17 22:08:46 +0000 UTCin RDR2 at 2970 x 2970 the menu is horizontally shrunken - is there a way to fix that? Thanks!
Stuart
2021-12-17 21:42:09 +0000 UTCHZD downloaded and ready to go. Would never have thought of playing this until now. Awesome stuff Luke!
Greyhaim
2021-12-17 21:28:02 +0000 UTCExciting times, I hope I already have this game in my Steam Library, I have so many now sitting there gathering digital dust waiting for a Luke update. :)

2021-12-17 21:26:25 +0000 UTCGreat Black, thank you!!
LukeRoss
2021-12-17 15:48:57 +0000 UTCI'll stay subbed for the long haul m8.
Black Aesop
2021-12-17 15:42:37 +0000 UTCTY Luke! Running great now. Blown away w/ what you have done w/ this. I'm on a RTX 3080 and it's brilliant.
Black Aesop
2021-12-17 15:42:02 +0000 UTCTrying that now
Black Aesop
2021-12-17 15:33:27 +0000 UTCI didn't actually 😅
Black Aesop
2021-12-17 15:33:21 +0000 UTCDid you run RealConfig?
LukeRoss
2021-12-17 15:28:44 +0000 UTCSo I copied over the 2.1.3 files but when I launch it says there is an update ready? Should I just re-install the game?
Black Aesop
2021-12-17 15:21:42 +0000 UTCNever mind Christian I found it. TY m8
Black Aesop
2021-12-17 14:22:36 +0000 UTCcan you link me please and thank you.
Black Aesop
2021-12-17 14:20:23 +0000 UTCYou have too Download the latest file and that file is for rdr2 and mafia
Christian
2021-12-17 14:19:29 +0000 UTCHey Luke.. I'm a little confused. Is 1.5.2 the latest mod version or is it 2.1.3? I already installed 1.5.2 but read in the comments there is an update? Thanks in advance m8.
Black Aesop
2021-12-17 14:08:07 +0000 UTCYeah I plan to take my time w/ it and take in the sites for sure. Thanks for the advice.
Black Aesop
2021-12-17 13:14:37 +0000 UTCThank you so much for your longstanding support, Arturs!!!
LukeRoss
2021-12-17 13:10:40 +0000 UTCOne of the Patreons I have no intention unsubscribing. Keep up the good work, mate!
2021-12-17 13:00:10 +0000 UTCAn advice, sometimes, just ride the horse slowly, if not, you'll miss many details the game has to offer, because NPCs (humans and animials) react to your noise. It's so nice to apreciate those details in VR.
Cercata
2021-12-17 12:31:41 +0000 UTCWhen that happens I hope first person view goes automatically too smooth third person view.
Christian
2021-12-17 12:07:10 +0000 UTCI'm actually doing that as we speak 😅
Black Aesop
2021-12-17 11:23:52 +0000 UTCWelcome! Why don't you check out RDR2 in the meantime? ^_^
LukeRoss
2021-12-17 11:22:50 +0000 UTCI've been following your work since the GTA V mod. Read the article about Cyberpunk 2077 and was waiting till next month to join you Patreon. Saw a cryptic post on Twitter and decide to join early for Xmas! Excited to see what game you have modded next. Gg
Black Aesop
2021-12-17 11:05:43 +0000 UTCHmmm, if it is horizon zero D then those dodge rolls against certain enemy types will be quite jarring in VR. Will have to adopt more hit and run tactics and Stealth methinks.
Rob Cram
2021-12-17 10:42:03 +0000 UTCWe need to clone him XD
Cercata
2021-12-17 10:30:08 +0000 UTCIs the game confirmed then? HZD?
Rob Cram
2021-12-17 09:12:05 +0000 UTCYour 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!
Robin White
2021-12-17 08:54:37 +0000 UTCI did too
Chris Hatton
2021-12-17 08:46:24 +0000 UTCSWEET! I’ll get downloading now so I can feature it on my channel too
Chris Hatton
2021-12-17 08:42:57 +0000 UTCTomorrow!
LukeRoss
2021-12-17 08:37:43 +0000 UTCWhen do Patrons get access?
Chris Hatton
2021-12-17 08:37:00 +0000 UTCYes, we see it already in the horizon ;) He also said "with Cyberpunk 2077 already on the horizon"
Cercata
2021-12-17 07:52:12 +0000 UTCI thought maybe its Halo Master Chief collection hence the "Legendary" in the title, but that is not a third person game.
Rob Cram
2021-12-17 07:42:51 +0000 UTCWho ya gunna call? 🤪
Max Martin
2021-12-17 06:54:19 +0000 UTCYea 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
WIG
2021-12-17 04:41:49 +0000 UTCHorizon 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.
MJB
2021-12-17 02:52:24 +0000 UTC"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
Deehn
2021-12-17 01:30:15 +0000 UTCIt's not Cyberpunk yet!! It's the other game that I had already begun working on before I put out the poll
LukeRoss
2021-12-17 00:47:12 +0000 UTCDamn I love that post title ! Should I get Cyberpunk for the weekend ?
2021-12-17 00:40:10 +0000 UTCI 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 :)
Andre Warringa
2021-12-17 00:04:02 +0000 UTCI 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 :)
Nicky Butler
2021-12-16 23:24:35 +0000 UTCI do need to take some time off <3
LukeRoss
2021-12-16 23:23:22 +0000 UTCHints 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.
Cercata
2021-12-16 23:20:03 +0000 UTCCool, 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!
Tamás Kiss
2021-12-16 23:13:28 +0000 UTCI think I only gonna play cyberpunk in vr after the new gen update in February.
Christian
2021-12-16 23:06:42 +0000 UTCBioshock is first person, so not posible acording to what he says in this post
Cercata
2021-12-16 22:55:23 +0000 UTCWitcher 3 is not DX12, and he said it was a DX12 game ...
Cercata
2021-12-16 22:54:58 +0000 UTCHZD 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 ....
Cercata
2021-12-16 22:52:04 +0000 UTCI'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
CozyViera
2021-12-16 22:36:20 +0000 UTCMy guess it's Bioshock.
Shawn Colton
2021-12-16 22:28:08 +0000 UTCPossibly, both use varients of red engine
WIG
2021-12-16 22:17:43 +0000 UTCDeath stranding uses the same engine as horizon zero dawn Decima
WIG
2021-12-16 22:16:48 +0000 UTCI actually have no idea, but my curiosity went through the roof
petrus munteanu
2021-12-16 22:12:49 +0000 UTCAwesome. With that clue, i guess its horizon zero dawn as others guessed earlier
VirtualmisterL
2021-12-16 22:03:24 +0000 UTCThat'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?
Christian
2021-12-16 22:02:48 +0000 UTCwhatever it is I am glad you take the time to add first person. So much more immersive
WIG
2021-12-16 21:59:16 +0000 UTCif cyberpunk 2077 is on the horizon, perhaps it's the witcher iii?
Bob Douglass
2021-12-16 21:57:16 +0000 UTCAnyone can guess what this game is?
