i never had problems running this game so i don't know how you say it runs like ♥♥♥♥. i got my settings on max. not like that matters. and more and more good games for vr is coming out. and vr has gotten cheaper. this game with a hmd option would be just perfect. if they hadded hmd then both vive and oc can run it, no need for controlers atm. this would be a start just to see if it's worth the time. i would support this. and be happy with it.

VR is likely last on the list, if its on the list at all, Im not sure how it would go code wise for Empyrion / Unity, other Unity games have it working good though, so you never know.

Cross yee fingers !

Dropping a VR cam in instead of the FPS camera they have is the easy bit its the control setup that might take a while to get right. Unity makes it easy to add basic VR functionality its the control balence that would take a little work thats IF the base project is optimised enough to run VR without requiring a super computer :-)

Voxel + VR ( stereoscope 3d redering ) would be tough for gpu’s even i think for latest ones as 1080ti , and more of this , to get full VR support , thry must simulate the hands control for touch control on oculus and ttje wands on vive , to let us able to interact with in-game objects as switches and doors ans even with guns , there is a problem on VR , its about mobement with legs in different places , this might be change the game experience with empyrion because the controls are changed , other games mostly use teleporting methode or mpvement through gamepads pr keyboard , i dont think we could like to use teleport methode and its affecting and ruin the pvp mp gaming because of the movement

[Stonedmonkeyboy]

Movement is only an issue due to FPS drop and the nausia it brings :-) no reason why you cant walk around in VR other than that really I personally really dislike the teleport around thing destroys imersion. As for the controler thing VR with steam controler as a tester would be fine. Maybe the Devs could give us a unity scene to play with :-)

i worked with unity. and vr mod is free for unity. i made 3 games demo rails with it 3 months ago just for learning. saying it is hard coding is wrong... it was really easy. and i never ran unity into 3 munths ago. i was moving out of state needed something to pass time. so i gave unity a shot. if they going to add vr. and that is a big if. then unity is great to try.

Might be easy for a small script program ike what you were toying with, but Empyrion is a very large universe with alot of complex things happening in it, Im not so sure about easy until I see the bug ticket list !
If they add it and we get 20 bugs, cool bananas were in business, but if they add it and we cop 200 bugs, Im taking a weeks holiday ! LOL !

Maybe think about to make an dlc for vr later on... you earn money and the vr nerds like me get vr. In my eyes this looks fair.

when i was using it. i did 1 with controler for oculus and that took a bit. was not easy at first. but i was more into learning the hmd setup. that was more of a click add setup. adding hmd support works on both oc and vive. way i say just adding hmd support in the option menu would be a great start. i know you can not see the keyboard way hmd is on. but who looks at a keyboard way playing lol.... not only that but you can use a controller. i used xbox controler in this game. i not a fan of controlers. also i no the vox is low in this game it only goes to 60 or something i forgot. when i used vorpx with this game it worked but i could not see the health bar or bottem menu bar. cause the vox won't go high . it need to be at least 90. but it worked with no problems other then that. if i could of seen everything i be using vorpx all the time with this

Hopefully, the Playstation version will support PSVR!

thing is Empyrion is beautiful layout and peacful creative and advanced. we do not have games in the creative area of games. i thank there is 3 and there not all that.
ark added it. but don't go off ark. ark added the option and left it alone. used it as a sells point.
it never worked cause there mod is out dated. and they don't ever update there addons.

i would love to see a game like Empyrion add a hmd. perfect game for it

[hyperion]

I wish. Just let me know when that happens, I'm all in for it.
