Return To Castle Wolfenstein Gets Full VR And Gore Mod Release
A 2001 FPS now runs start to finish in VR through a fan overhaul stack, which puts the whole campaign and even the Enemy Territory co-op mode inside a headset without a commercial port.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
SkarVR has released the full version of its Return to Castle Wolfenstein mod, SkarVR's Brutally RealRTCW VR, which adds full VR support and gore effects. Built on the RealRTCW overhaul, it covers the main campaign, single-player maps, and co-op for Cursed Sands and Enemy Territory, and also runs on a regular monitor. Play requires the original 2001 game and RealRTCW, and it is distributed on ModDB.
The mod is built on RealRTCW, the overhaul that rebuilds the original game's content, so the VR layer sits on top of existing work rather than a new conversion. That is why the scope reaches beyond the main campaign into single-player maps and the Cursed Sands and Enemy Territory co-op modes.
Gore effects are pitched at the level of Soldier of Fortune, which the mod author names directly. Players who would rather not use a headset can run the same build on a regular monitor. Installation is on ModDB at the user's own risk, and the original game plus RealRTCW are both required.
