How ive been feeling lately
Modern Warfare in VR is AMAZING!
Red Dead Redemption 2 VR WIP (with motion controls)
Memo to the VR bigwigs: tell your engineers to copy this NOW. Not Meta! The future of VR depends a lot on flat-to-VR ports. We need all those buttons starting in 2026 and beyond!
Pokémon in My Living Room
A very early Alpha build of Elden Ring in VR! It has motion controls, swinging, parrying, range weapons
Made a 6DOF VR mod for Elden Ring with motion controls and full body support (open-sourcing soon)
14/10 Mario64 in Mixed Reality!
Dishonored VR Alpha Out now
This guy in the GTA6 trailer made me lol
