Unreal VR, Unreal Gold (1998) in Unreal Engine 4 with VR support, is now compatible with the Oculus Quest


In 2018, we informed you about a VR remake of the classic 1998 Unreal Gold game in Unreal Engine 4. Unreal VR is a total conversion of Unreal Gold, that came out in 1998, in Unreal Engine 4 with VR support and modder ‘kwstasg’ released an alpha version that is compatible with the Oculus Quest.

Unfortunately, and with the exception of the alpha support for Oculus Quest, this new version of UnrealVR does not bring anything new to the table.

The previous content update was released in March 2018, allowing players to visit all NyLeve map and swim in the water. The March 2018 version also added breakable Glasses in VRikers, functional switches in VRikers & NyLeve falls, access to NyLeve through VRikers hatch, as well as access to the Mine (No functionality yet) through NyLeve.

It’s worth noting that this project started as a VR Tour to Vortex Rickers. So yeah, while UnrealVR does not feature all the levels from the original game, it at least fulfilled its initial purpose.

In conclusion, this VR adaptation of Unreal Gold is a really cool concept that shows what that classic shooter game could have looked like in VR, so I strongly suggest downloading it and testing it if you own a VR device.

Those interested can download the Oculus Quest alpha build for Unreal VR from here.

Have fun!
