It proved to be a terrifying experience, though with only tens of thousands of Rift DK2s out in the wild, the developers of the game didnвЂ™t bother to implementВ the VR mode for the launch of the game. Prior to its 2014 launch, Alien: Isolation was briefly demoed with a VR mode running on the second Rift development kit (DK2). If it were anyone else we might just say вЂњneat,вЂќ and move along with our day, but NibreвЂ™s work with Alien: IsolationВ shows they may have the skills to deliver a fully functional Halo Reach VR mod. This is a minor (but essential) achievement compared with the complexity of getting the game to renderВ with proper distortion and stereoscopy.

Zack вЂњNibreвЂќ Fannon, creator of the Alien: IsolationВ VR mod and self-described вЂњHalo addict,вЂќ today posted clips on Twitter showing they were experimenting with adding some VR functionality to Halo Reach.ДЄpparently working with a version of the game from public beta tests earlier this year, the clips show theyВ have managed to bring rotational and positional tracking from the Rift into Halo Reach.

With Halo Reach making the leap to PC on December 3rd, however, we just might get a taste of a full Halo game on modern VR headsets, albeit unofficially. The original article-which talks about FannonвЂ™s early teases of the вЂReclaimerVRвЂ™ mod and the background of the Alien: Isolation mod-continues below.ДЄs a massively popular franchise, calls for a Halo VR game have been heard plenty over the years, but with the latest incarnation of the games stuck on Xbox,В Halo has still not gotten the VR treatment (unless you count that tease which Microsoft never followed up on).

Reverse engineering a game from absolute scratch helped me see the Halo games in a new light when IвЂ™d come back to them, and revisiting MotherVR again afterward really helped me push my understanding of code at an assembly level further and further.

вЂњIf I could expand my programming chops by getting working in VR again, without the gameвЂ™s source code, could that somehow help me on my quest towards getting Halo working in VR? Long story short, it turns out that it honestly did. Interestingly, while Fannon had first dreamed of playing a Halo game in VR well before he created the Alien: Isolation mod, he says the experience of creating that mod was instrumental in being able to bring VR to Halo Reach.

ThatвЂ™s an ambitious goal-considering MCC includes Halo 1вЂ“4, as well as Reach and ODST-but Fannon has more than proven his skills with hisВ вЂMotherVRвЂ™ mod for Alien: Isolation. While Fannon had previously shared a teaser video showing experimental headtracking in Halo Reach, heвЂ™s now signaling more clearly that he intends to bring the mod to a release-ready state under the nameВ вЂReclaimerVRвЂ™.ДЇannon was profiled recently by 343 Industries, the developer now in charge of the Halo franchise, where he said his goal is to add VR support to all Halo games released on PC under the Master Chief Collection.
