PLAY QUAKE II IN VIRTUAL REALITY ON HTC VIVE & OCULUS RIFT | Quake 2 VR MOD Gameplay



Did you know there is a Quake 2 VR MOD that enables Virtual Reality support for HTC Vive and Oculus Rift? Let's play the FPS game Quake II in Virtual Reality today on HTC Vive with TPCAST standing up and having VR room-scale support, positional tracking, heavy super-sampling and motion controller support for Vive and Touch controllers just like with Doom 3 VR MOD! Quake 2 was a huge AAA-game back in the old days and now we can revisit this action-pumped FPS masterpiece made by ID Software, with full Virtual Reality support thanks to a VR MOD Alpha 2.0.0 release created by Luke Groeninger and Malcolm Smith. This MOD enables true stereoscopic 3D vision in Virtual Reality, we can play it standing up or seated and we have positional tracking plus roomscale gameplay aiming with our HTC Vive or Oculus Touch controllers. I just wish this was possible with Quake Champions... Quake II on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/2320/QUAKE_II/ To use this Quake II VR MOD with HTC Vive you need have Oculus Home and SteamVR running, and also the latest Revive software installed with Revive Dashboard running. You will find the latest version of the Quake 2 VR MOD here: http://www.malcolm-s.net/q2vr/ (Big thanks to the modders for making this possible) Get the Revive software from its Guthub page: https://github.com/LibreVR/Revive At the end of this Quake 2 VR gameplay I'm giving you full instructions on how you install the MOD to be able to play it in Virtual Reality of Oculus Rift, and also how you start the game with Revive software if you want to play it on your HTC Vive. Short Installation instructions (if you have the full Quake II game installed on Steam): 1. Download the quake2vr-2.0.0-bin.zip from the MOD website link above. 2. Extract the zip file in any directory on your computer. 3. Copy the following files and folders from your original Quake II baseq2 folder (Steam version) into the new baseq2 folder inside of the Quake 2 VR folder you just extracted from the zip file: - pak0.pak (file) - players\ (folder) optional - only if you want to play multiplayer - videos\ (folder) optional - only if you want cinematic cut scenes in game. 4. Start Oculus Home (yes it's also necessary for HTC Vive) 5. Start SteamVR (if you want to play it on Vive) Start Quake 2 VR on Oculus Rift: - Run quake2vr.exe to start it on Oculus Rift, game starts in your Virtual Reality headset. Start Quake 2 VR on HTC Vive: - Be sure to have Revive software installed and the Revive Dashboard running - Right click on the Revive Dashboard icon and choose "Inject" - Browse into the Quake 2 VR game folder, select quake2vr.exe and click Open. - Game starts in VR on your HTC Vive headset automatically, no changes of settings are needed.
