Have you ever wished you could play Shadow of the Colossus in VR? Well, I can't help you with that. But I've got the next best thing: Praey for the Gods.

Praey for the Gods is heavily inspired by Shadow of the Colossus. I made a quick and dirty VR mod for it. The mod just does the bare minimum to fix the camera positioning and UI for VR. No motion controls or anything fancy, it's still a third person game. And yes, the camera movement is extremely nauseating, so get the puke bucket ready. If there's interest, I may try to polish it up a bit more, or even try a first person mode. Let me know what you think!

Praey for the Gods VR

https://www.patreon.com/raivr A quick and dirty VR mod I made for Praey for the Gods, a game that's heavily inspired by Shadow of the Colossus. All the mod does is enable the VR mode while trying to keep the camera in the right place, and fixing up some of the UI to work better in VR. No motion controls or anything fancy like that.

Looks very cool. That camera movement is going to be extreme for some people.

I am so thrilled to be apart of this ride with you! I'm a huge fan of these games & I've been looking for an excuse to get back on this game. Please do keep us posted. Literally.

Wow never even heard of this game until now thanks!. Please do House Party as a VR mod next, it uses Unity and It would be so awesome in VR.

Also never heard of it and always wanted something like that on PC. Gave it a try with your mod and wow. This is amazing. Yes the camera is a bit janky and the slight decenter of the main character but this looks already great and plays well. I would like to see this getting a bit more polish. First person (optional) would be great too. Didn't reach the first "colossus" but I always wanted a VR game where such giant creatures were the focus. Bottom line. THANKS!

I saw that but haven't tinkered with. Will try next time I fire this game up.

It was on my wishlist so looking forward to try this!!

Playing this VR mod once again it got me asking. How difficult was it to implement? Would this work with every unreal engine 4 game? And would it theoretically possible to put a simple "VR cam" into the horror game Visage?

I can only do this for Unity games. The difficulty depends on the game. This one took me about 3 days to get to a nice playable state with all the camera effects working properly. I can look into other games people suggest, but only Unity games.

Oh okay. Thought Praey for the Gods was Unreal ^^. Lust from Beyond would be neat. After the desatrous official VR port of the first one Lust for Darkness where they swapped engine and downgraded the game significantly. It's using Unity and keys are pretty cheap. Would be at least one good horror game with some Lovecraft sprinkled on it. :)

Mr. BLid

I would get both the mod and the game if it was first person. An amazing project!

I'm planning to try the mod, but would like to ask a couple questions based on your README: (1) Drag "Praey For the Gods.exe" and drop it on top of "ColossalVrInstaller.exe". I'm stupid enough to think this meant 'run VRinstaller.exe first' and then start the game. Is this accurate? (2) delete the file "winhttp.dll": I'm assuming this is the file file under the 'Mod Files' folder. Sorry for being dumb on this.

Raicuparta

You're only supposed to drag the game executable on top of CollossalVrInstaller.exe. You don't directly run the installer. Deleting winhttp.dll is for uninstalling, not for installing. winhttp.dll will be in the game directory after you install ColossalVR.

In other words, just as you wrote it. Thanks for responding and clarifying that for myself.

Played with a i7-8700, 16GB RAM, GTX 1070Ti with a Valve Index/Xbox Controller (Index at 90Hz refresh). Observations are as follows: - I first played a little bit of the game before I modded it. This was just a force of habit to establish/set-up all game files/folders before modding it. - Following your directions, the mod install went great. - I played on default game settings. - Graphically, the biggest issue seemed to be with a type of shimmering around the figure when circling it with the camera, especially around the hair. Lowering the graphics/quality a notch helped out. - I could not seem to adjust the resolution setting (it was stuck on 1920 X whatever); any attempts to change it, even after accepting the change, and it still went back to the 1920 setting. It was no big deal, as overall game performance was quite acceptable with my ancient PC. - The VR effect was greatest was walking around, and taking in the sights. There were numerous times to where it was great to look around in VR, but I always had to wind up adjusting the camera to accommodate a different view (e.g., walking and looking around was great, but get too close to a ledge, and you had to pull back on the camera to look over the ledge). It was really enjoyable to look around, but as soon as I saw my character, I will admit to feeling like I got pulled out of the VR immersion feeling (no fault of yours). - The text when selecting 'HELP' was tough to read, like I could read about half of the text (or at least recognize the characters), and the other half was just about impossible to read. Yet, reading the messages from the frozen dead guys was fairly easy to read (I don't know if because it was slightly closer to the screen or not). - I did make it through to the first god or Titan (but stopped after winning the fight). This was tough to call on the VR effect, for while it certainly felt more cinematic, it largely felt like I was playing on a giant TV screen. - For exploration aspects of the game (e.g., looking around), having a 1st person view would certainly be enjoyable. For more basic moves (jumping, climbing), I could see benefits to playing it in either 1st and 3rd person, and may be a matter of preference. For the combat (e.g., Titan fighting), the ability to switch between a 1st and 3rd person view would be desireable for VR. To do it all in 1st person VR seems like it would be awfully tough to know where to go once you jumped on a Titan. - This game largely reminded me of an old VR Oculus Rift game called 'Edge of Nowhere' because of its overall similarity in gameplay. I certainly enjoyed the amount I've played to date. What I am trying to figure out is if a 1st person view is possible, could one play the entire game this way? Thank you for the opportunity to try the game out in a VR-type environment.
