I now rate this up there close to Skyrim for my most anticipated VR games.Ī full Halo game has not been confirmed but I saw a clip of the CEO of 343 Industries talking in Altspace about Halo and she seem to indicate they were working on a full game. If the full game feels this solid and polished it should be a killer of a game. Just focus on gunplay and not on the fact you’re only shooting targets on a 2D screen. Often holding and firing a gun in VR feels awkward and disconnected but not with this. The gunplay, as short as it, is the best I’ve felt in VR yet. Maybe it is because it is native or has so little going on that efficient programming was easy but I’m really impressed with how solid, smooth and accurate the mechanics are. It is not a game, it is a 10 minute tease to whet our appetites about the possibility of a full Halo VR game and in this respect it hits the mark. To judge it as a game is missing the point. I decided to give it a spin last night and my take on this app is completely different. No word yet on when this fan remake will launch and just how comprehensive it will be, but it’s one we’ll certainly be on the lookout for.After seeing several VR talking heads dump all over it, I had never bothered to download Halo Recruit. Nimsony has a Patreon account if you want to support his work. Imagine playing through this classic campaign, jumping into Warthogs in first-person and tossing frag grenades with our own hands. There’s plenty of potential for this project, though it would require a heck of a lot of work to bring Halo fully into VR. And, yes, that includes using two pistols to fill Grunts with bullet holes. You can see him running around one of the series’ classic multiplayer maps, wielding iconic weapons using two Touch controllers. Nimsony is keeping a detailed blog of his work on the project, and this week’s update just hit. Now Nimso is working on bringing the original edition of Halo: Combat Evolved into VR too, which should come as great news for anyone let down by the five-minute Recruit experience. In early October we reported that indie developer Nimsony had converted a classic Sonic the Hedgehog level into VR using a run-on-the-spot locomotion system. Halo Recruit may go down as the biggest disappointment in VR this year, but one fan is making up for Microsoft’s shortcomings with a VR remake of the original phenomenon.
