Modder Creates VR Mod for PC Version of ‘System Shock’ Remake [Trailer]
Nightdive’s System Shock remake is cool and all, but it’d be really cool if there was a way to play it in VR, now wouldn’t it? Lucky for you, Modder Ashok has developed such a VR mod for the PC version of System Shock, adding support for 6DOF motion control to the game, along with gestures for motion controllers, improved object interaction, room scale and physical ducking support and more.
The mod is actually a plugin for UEVR, a frontend that will make certain Unreal Engine VR enabled. You just need a profile for that specific game. Speaking of which, you can download Ashok’s profile for System Shock here.
Along with the profile, you’ll need UEVR Nightly 940 or later to get things going. There’s also an optional PAK mod that adapts the buttons to the Meta Quest Touch Controller. As mentioned, this mod is currently only available for the PC version of the System Shock remake. However, community group Flat2VR Studios recently expressed interest in porting the game to Meta Quest 3 or Playstation VR 2, but would need Nightdive’s help in order to see it to fruition.
The System Shock remake is currently available on PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG, as well as PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and the Xbox Series.
Thanks to MIXED Reality News for the heads up!
Capcom has made the wait for the upcoming Onimusha: Way of the Sword a little easier. Originally set for a September 25 release, the long-awaited return of the franchise has now been bumped up to September 4 for PlayStation 5, the Xbox Series, the Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Pre-orders for Onimusha: Way of the Sword are available now. Players who jump in and secure the Standard, Deluxe, or Premium Deluxe editions before the game’s release will receive Early Adopter Bonuses, including the “Sealed Curse” sword skin and “Lion Dog” charm. You can also check out the demo on all platforms (save for the Switch 2).
Players with save data from the demo can also look forward to claiming a Kubi Akari charm as a special bonus when the full game arrives.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword returns to a dark fantasy feudal Japan where samurai clash with the supernatural in cutting-edge combat. The game takes place in Kyoto during the early Edo period. Fusing history and myth, the story follows the journey of Miyamoto Musashi, a samurai armed with a mystical Oni Gauntlet, as he battles demons invading Edo-period Kyoto. Onimusha: Way of the Sword features intense action that combines the series’ signature Issen and Soul Absorption mechanics with swordplay that aims to take the combat to new heights.
