Zelda BOTW VR Mod Releasing In 2 Days! 5 years ago, Crementif began doing the “impossible”. Trying to port one of the greatest games of all time into full 6DOF VR with motion controls. But being a Wii U game, this was an entirely different kind of challenge. Through way too many sleepless nights, Crementif stayed with it, and is finally releasing his mod free and open source in 2 days! Here’s just a few of the features:
 - Full stereo-rendering with 6DOF (not AER). - Full VRIK, hands and arms support. You can drip yourself out in all the fanciest clothes. - Fully and physically wield weapons, torches and bokoblin arms into combat. - Gestures to equip and throw weapons. - Use motion controls to interact with the world to solve puzzles or start fires. - Optional third-person mode. - Large mod compatibility. BetterVR only modifies the code and no game data. Most other mods should be compatible. Zelda BOTW has some of the best physics and in VR, a whole new world of what you can do opens up.

@Acerola__t I think it'll be good, but not the magic bullet many think it is

I really miss the days before matchmaking when community servers/server browsers were the norm

@Tyler_McV 100%

If I had to guess, this work is being done for the content that runs on the Frame.

Steam Frame I am not free. WE are free Thanks for coping with me over the years ❤️ YouTube: youtu.be/G3l2tATGvMI Watch in Spatial: deckard.mov

@Tubbymcwub @Dreammur1 @dtupper @worldskitten I sure hope so, they seem really confident on selling this as a holy grail for wireless VR

@salad_vr @Dreammur1 @dtupper @worldskitten The quest pro isn't really designed for dedicated wireless streaming like the frame is. It's got a dedicated 6ghz dongle and they wouldn't release it if it wasn't clear

so far, pros: very light! not BSB light, but >500g is great eye tracking! wireless by default! wifi 7!!! with dongle!!!! more buttons on controllers FINGER TRACKING!!! youtu.be/dU3ru09HTng?si… AAs IN THE CONTROLLERS LETS GO magnetic thumbstick!!! DRIFT IS DEAD cool two-stage triggers!! specs across the board look great nice high rez screens, pancake lenses batteries replaceable everywhere looks like some interesting expandability/hackability with under-nose port and replacable headstrap/battery combo. very clever design. finally, the wait is over. brad can move on. cons: LCDs... 😮‍💨 I've been spoiled by oLEDs no face tracking... no option for power/data tether (yet) in-HMD speakers. we'll never get you back, BMRs... 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 cons, but it was obvious: lighthouse is gone. you'll have to tape a tracker to the Frame to sync playspaces, lol. overall, the Frame looks like a great headset, but I'm not actually sure if it'll replace my BSB2. we'll see!

@Dreammur1 @dtupper @worldskitten From what I've heard it seems the Quest Pro eye tracking has a hard time keeping up with it. On the Play For Dream, though, the few that have it mention how great it works on that, similar to the people saying the Frame feels wired

@salad_vr @dtupper @worldskitten It's been available for a long time now in steamvr, but nobody was talking about it until these past few months. It's decent, but not great. At least while using the quest pro I can easily tell that it's active unless I near disable it over wifi 6E- a 6Ghz band.

Deckard Yesterday

@dtupper @worldskitten do you think their eye tracked foveated encoding will solve that or get close? I'm really curious to see how well that works

@worldskitten It isn't that I don't like it -- it's that I prefer tethered over wireless. I do not like visually-obvious compression I have much more faith in electrons/photons traveling over copper/fiber than I do in network packets competing for sub-ms timing across the EM spectrum.

What if... 👀

yep! hello Steam Frame

is it finally time?

@martydudeVR @TheDrunkenFROG one of the hottest VR takes I've ever seen

@TheDrunkenFROG Story for Alyx is so forgettable I'm sorry. Ill give you everything else but that story literally never gets mentioned in these conversations.

After reading these comments, Valve needs to drop a game to save PCVR because these people aren't buying anything else 😂😂 Gaben Glaze will save us all.
