Spartans, get ready to don your VR headsets! Exciting news for long-time fans: Halo Combat Evolved, the legendary FPS that has shaped a generation of gamers, is now available in virtual reality thanks to an ambitious mod. This is not just a hasty port, but a complete transformation that allows players to rediscover this classic game from a whole new perspective.
Developed by the talented LivingFray, this mod entirely reimagines the gaming experience for VR. Gone is the traditional view; instead, a fully immersive environment awaits, where every movement is reflected directly in the game. The quality of VR integration is striking, featuring perfectly synchronized stereoscopic visuals that put players right in the heart of the action.
However, this project is only compatible with the 2003 PC version of Halo, which allows the developers to focus on reverse engineering and modding without dealing with decades of updates. The control system has been rethought for VR controllers, ensuring that every action is customizable and ergonomic. The entire campaign is playable in VR, providing a unique opportunity to relive the iconic environments and level design of Halo with enhanced presence.
