On the track of horror games, VR's natural sense of substitution advantage is fully exerted.
Last year, in the workshop of Half-Life: Alyx, a mod called P.T. caught the attention of all horror game lovers — the VR version of the word-of-mouth "scariest horror game" finally came out.
Since Konami canceled the development of a sequel to Silent Hill in 2015, the follow-up to P.T. has also been stranded. Then the "P.T." in the PlayStation Store was removed, countless fans sighed, and the game became an "urban legend" in a sense, and today's players can only taste the fear of the past through the video.
After so many years, the enthusiasm of fans for "P.T. " has never diminished. Among the many fan-made works, the VR version is undoubtedly the most essential version, after all, on the track of horror games, VR's natural sense of substitution advantages are fully exerted.
But this mod version of "P.T. " is still a little regrettable, after all, this is made with the "Half-Life: Alyx" exclusive Source2 engine, textures and details and other aspects of the reduction is still lacking.
The other day, Reddit netizen ROBIER1 finally made up for this regret - he used the Blander engine to completely reproduce "P.T.".
The professional VR developer remodeled two of the game's few scenes, the hallway and bathroom, and spent several months refining and polishing it, finally bringing the legendary horror game to the Oculus platform and the PC VR platform, so that all players with VR devices can experience the original P.T.
In terms of the details of the game, the author also strives for perfection. If you're still impressed, we've reported that players dig through the game code and find that the female ghost in the game will always be behind you. In response to this creepy underlying code design, the author also restored it as much as possible.
And this version of P.T. also uses the virtual home environment function of the Oculus platform, allowing players to map the game scene to their own home, personally stroll through this horror corridor, and enjoy the immersive fear.
Unfortunately, this VR version of "P.T." cannot be completed, and players cannot reach the ending and enjoy the completion animation according to the decryption method described in the original guide. However, according to the author's description, he hid several Easter eggs in the game that were not in the original version, waiting for players to discover on their own.
However, although this VR version has been around for some time, no one has been able to successfully find the Easter egg planted by ROBYER1, and as for the reason, I think you should also know it:
