The witcher vr: The Witcher is now available to play in VR

Now you can play the first Witcher’s prologue in VR

Audio player loading…

Patryk Loan has been working on a VR version of the original Witcher game for at least a couple of years now. Last time we checked in, you could walk around Kaer Morhen, but that was it. The current version, available on NexusMods , lets you play through the entire prologue, complete with combat and dialogue choices.

«Every detail, every single prop was recovered, carefully transferred from the original game,» Patryk says, «remodeled and retextured, then placed where they exactly should be with detailed analyses and love.» Most of the textures have been upscaled to 4K, and objects can be interacted with, including drinks. (Though not food, furniture, or weapons that are currently being wielded by NPCs.)

Rather than try to transfer The Witcher’s frankly terrible OG combat mechanics into VR, Patryk replaced it with a battle system he describes succinctly: «Just swing the sword to attack your enemies». You can draw Geralt’s blade from a scabbard on your back, and even throw it at enemies. (If you experience a bug where the weapon doesn’t cause damage, Patryk suggests dropping and immediately catching your sword to fix it.)

While all of the dialogue is presented in first-person, only some of the cutscenes are as each one had to be completely remade. Patryk notes, «you have the ability to rotate your head everywhere at any time, so I added some extra lore-based content for almost every cutscene, and by that, I promise that even if you played the original game, the experience still would be new and refreshing.» He also restored some lines of dialogue that had been cut.

The Witcher in VR supports a variety of headsets, including the HTC Vive, Valve Index, Oculus Rift, and Oculus Quest via Oculus Link. If you’ve got Oculus Touch controllers you can use their triggers to grab stuff, including your sword. To play it you’ll need to own the original game, then it’s a matter of downloading the main package , running setup. bat, then finally downloading and installing the voice over package.

The first entry in the FAQ answers the most obvious question: «Does this mod have nude scenes? — Yes, it does».

Jody’s first computer was a Commodore 64, so he remembers having to use a code wheel to play Pool of Radiance. A former music journalist who interviewed everyone from Giorgio Moroder to Trent Reznor, Jody also co-hosted Australia’s first radio show about videogames, Zed Games . He’s written for Rock Paper Shotgun , The Big Issue, GamesRadar , Zam , Glixel , Five Out of Ten Magazine , and Playboy.com , whose cheques with the bunny logo made for fun conversations at the bank. Jody’s first article for PC Gamer was about the audio of Alien Isolation, published in 2015, and since then he’s written about why Silent Hill belongs on PC, why Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale is the best fantasy shopkeeper tycoon game, and how weird Lost Ark can get. Jody edited PC Gamer Indie from 2017 to 2018, and he eventually lived up to his promise to play every Warhammer videogame.

Changelogs

Every detail, every single prop was recovered, carefully transferred from the original game, remodeled and retextured, then placed where they exactly should be with detailed analyses and love.

Each cutscene was remade from scratch as painstakingly as possible. It’s a VR game, and you have the ability to rotate your head everywhere at any time, so I added some extra lore-based content for almost every cutscene, and by that, I promise that even if you played the original game, the experience still would be new and refreshing.

In addition, I also recovered a couple of cut dialogues from the original game.

I know that you’ll enjoy it. 🙂

* Also, this mod has a couple of author’s easter eggs. :>

READ ME: [ please ]


IMPORTANT NOTE: You should remove the line «The Witcher)» if it appears during destination location selection in order for the modification to function properly. Only the root directory should be used during installation! —Big thanks to Niko for pointing out the issue.

If you’ll face any problem related to the improper work of the sword, like you beat an enemy, but damage’s not applying, then just drop and immediately take your sword back. [like in this video]
Also if one of your hands vanished just press Insert in the keyboard.
Those bugs were almost fixed, but some events still could trigger ones, so JFYI.

Practically all textures were upscaled to 4k resolution, and so if you have some problems with performance -> just lower a bit quality of textures.

If you have any advice/wishes/reports/commentaries in general feel free to post them in the forum/comments section.

ABOUT GAMEPLAY:

• To pull the sword off just grab it from your back [scabbard] (like in this picture)
• You can throw your sword into the enemy and it actually will apply damage to him.
• In addition, you have other scabbards in a pelvis zone, but it’s kinda bugged, so you can actually just put the sword into your stomach and the game will think that’s ok. Speaking honestly, primarily it was a bug, but then I decided that this shit is too hard to fix, so let it be it will an «Additional Scabbards» feature because WHY NOT.
• Interaction. So you can interact with the world, not Half-Life Alyx of course but The-Witcher Geralt. You can take anything except the furniture/food(except the drinks)/npc’s weapons.

Enthusiast continues to work on turning the original The Witcher into a virtual reality game

Developer PatrykLoan has reportedly updated the Witcher in Virtual Reality 9 mod.0006″ for the first Witcher. Now the prologue can be fully played in virtual reality.

According to PatrykLoan, he carefully redid every cutscene from scratch. Since the game is running in VR, it will be possible to shake your head Anywhere Anytime . For this reason, he added new content to many scenes and promises: «… even if you played the original game, the experience will still be new and fresh «. He also restored some of the cut dialogues and left some easter eggs.

Some interactivity is also present, but cannot be taken (touched): furniture, NPC weapons, food (except drinks).

Dialogues are available in first person, most cutscenes work with this camera. The control of the sword in combat can be done by « waving «. If desired, you can throw a sword at the enemy — on hit, it will cause damage.

The ability to separate the head from the opponent’s body is available.

Consoles are bought for these games. Alternative opinion about God of War: Ragnarok

How Sony Santa-Monica managed to make a game so similar but different from the 2018 reboot is a mystery. It seems that the skeleton of the project remained the same, but the muscles pumped up. And not only those that are responsible for strength, but also for mental activity. Every thread of the story is tied into the mythology and universe of God of War, every game element is in the right place, and the graphics and music put the player on the shoulder blades in every scene — this is how modern single-player games should be.

Do not rush to attribute this success to beautiful waifu, that is, anime girls. The game catches with well-tuned gameplay, albeit exciting only for a short time.

There is a type of game that takes up all your free time. It seems that he sat down in the evening, for a couple of hours, to drive the knights around the screen, as you find yourself with disheveled hair on your head and lips bitten from nerves in the middle of a castle siege. That’s what Bannerlord is all about — and it’s the most unique game of 2022 that has no equal.
