Shenmue on Oculus Rift

[Peter]

Good man!

I am waiting on my own DK1 coming in the mail. I love the technology as it is now, never mind what it will become in the future

Yeah pretty promising stuff... So far it already supports a few games. I never liked skyrim, just ain't my kind of game, but in stereoscopic 3D it's just DAMN impressive. Shenmue would be killer, maybe it's even possible since with NullDC + stereoscopic plugin + "some" older nvidia cards with old stereo 3D driver make it possible to play stereoscopic.

Edit: ahhh awesomeness, youtube tags dun work any more. but i guess you can just copy the link...

Nice video

That's the breakthrough with Shenmue specifically. People can get it running through OR, but it's from the POV of Ryo and the stereo/gyroscopic functionality nailed. It's a Shenmue fans wet dream.

Hmmm, hacking the camera position could be possible, people have done worse things to Shenmue. If that's too hard you can still use the "model swap trick" and swap Ryo model with an empty dummy model or so, then he also won't be "In the way".

Yes we know you can run Shenmue through to the OR, at the end of the day its just another PNP monitor you wear on your head. But its the technology inside it that makes it the possible future of gaming. That and proper developing and programming of VR games.

But as MK said, camera hacking may be possible, primarily for the fps of being Ryo. Have the characters talk to your face when you engage with NCPs, look up to the sky with your head and see the show fall on you. Its a dream that's probably going to be far to impossible as it would take directing and programming what essentially is a whole new game.

I have a DK2 on the way. If anyone needs help with testing I would love to help out!

I think shenmue on Oculus would certainly be a new and interesting way to play the games, but I'm not too certain it would work well. It would all have to be first person and I feel like that would take away some of storytelling aspects since you would basically become Ryo. Not to mention the game would have to be completly reworked to work on the rift. I mean I'm probably wrong, but has anyone seen a third person game on the rift yet? Because personally I haven't...so I'm not sure how shenmue could work on it. But if it were to happen I would still eat it up :p

Devs are working on 3rd person games as it reduces Nausea whilst playing. Most FPS games although not native at the moment are causing sickness.

I also think that it will be difficult to see a playable version of Shenmue in the rift but I am excited to see anything that happens.

Camera hacking is possible with using nulldc cheater codes.

Allow First Person View: 014B75A0 00000001 - (Sometimes allows you to use first person view trigger during cutscenes and loading) *
Camera Fixed 0022537B 000000FF - (Keeps the camera exactly where it is. Use look trigger / stick to bring cam back to Ryo)
Camera Release: 00225377 0000003F - (Used with "Camera Loose" to end fixed camera code)
Camera Loose: 0022537B 00000000 - (Used with "Camera Release" to end fixed camera code)
Camera X?: 01201A49 00001301 - (Pretty unpredictable camera X or Y position code) *
Camera Z Pos: 01201A46 00004133 - (Move the camera higher or lower. Best used with fixed camera cheat)
Camera Z Facing: 01201A52 000002F9 - (Face the camera higher or lower. Best used with fixed camera cheat)

Flying Glitch?: 01589C24 00000FFF - (Very occasionally makes Ryo sky-walk after stepping off stairs and hills. Needs work.) *
Stop/Allow Movement: 0121FE88 00000001 - (Sometimes allows you to move during loading sequences & very rarely cutscenes) *

Fov adjustment? this mean it is possible to change the fov in orther to play in widescreen? that would be awesome.
