Can you run Crysis in VR? Crysis VR Mod Available for Download
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/can-you-run-crysis-in-vr-crysis-vr-mod-available-for-download/
Holger Frydrych has just released a VR Mod for the 2007 version of Crytek’s first-person shooter, Crysis. By using this mod, you can now experience that FPS in full VR. So, the question now is. Can your PC run Crysis in VR?
Crysis VR Mod offers a full 6DoF roomscale VR experience. As such, you can play seated or standing with VR motion controllers.
Players can aim their guns naturally with their hands. You can also use two hands to stabilize the guns further. Plus, there are visible player arms with basic IK. Oh, and the mod supports physical melee attacks.
In short, this is the best VR experience you can get right now in Crysis. As noted, this mod is for the original version. It’s NOT for the remaster that came out in 2021. So, make sure to use the right version of the game, otherwise it won’t work.
