The default profile didn’t really look great to me, it was far too zoomed in, and I actually did not prefer the head tracking option to the just plain old mouse option. In this case, Far Cry looks - interesting.

Different games have different capabilities and some work better and worse with this software from what I’ve read. vorpX hooks into those games and forces them to be 3D-ish. Basically, you load WMR, launch vorpX Desktop, from which you can use your desktop and further launch other games. It is one of the “supported” games that I guess has a profile worked up for it already. I’ve only just installed it and am working through trying a couple light older games interested in what it can do.įirst up to try was the original Far Cry. I will be writing a review-ish of it for the main site eventually, but for now I’ll just be putting some non-exhaustive thoughts in this thread. At $40, with no demo available, it is a bit of a leap of faith to try it, and you have to want to tinker and have expectations that perhaps it isn’t the cat’s meow. I’d guess that 99% of the time, native VR is always going to be better than vorpX.įirst - DO NOT BUY VORPX - based on anything you see or read here (yet).īased on lots of reading on the forums and internet, there are definitely camps that are fans of this software, and a lot of people that really aren’t. So this will trace a bit of my initial impressions on vorpX - basically a bit of software that sort of psuedo-VRs some games that don’t have VR integration, and even some that do.
