I played on Rift and had all these problems. It plays fine "flat" once I disconnected the headset and restarted it but I couldn't make it through this in VR.

Redditor completely remade PT in the Unreal engine, available for download, playable in VR
- Thread starter Nightbird
- Start date
I mean, the final Reedus scene is literally just a cutscene, it's not playable- why not just download the original video off you tube and attach it at the end? Can't be any worse than using the official audio, which they already do.
The final scene will have an addition layer of legal issue if it also involve Reedus, as he or his manager/lawyer might find issue with this release.

I watched a clip of him and he sounds like he's gonna have a panic attack lol.
I keep getting stuck right at the beginning, when you first loop and find yourself back in the original hallway. I restart and try again...nada. Bummer.
If that was the case they would have removed Reedus completely. Which would have been a good idea because in VR the guyfollows you around after the first loop and freaks me the fuck out.
I watched 3 seconds of a clip, some radio sounds, a scream far away, he walks close to a photo.... and that is it, enough for me. fucking hell no way I will play it if I cant stand few seconds of a video.
What the fuck am I supposed to do? I wandered into a room that's almost identical to the first, but without the radio playing.
Keep going, explore and try things out. The game has loops.
I tried every door, and and button on my keyboard + 360 pad. If the original release was like this, then I don't know how anyone figured anything out.
I tried this, but it didn't seem to do anything.
Hold on, I'll try it again. Game only takes a second to boot.
Edit: Fuck me, there's a slight delay on the right click.
Horror VR is great when its not just cheap jumpscares because the genre lends well to going extra hard with being atmospheric and having great sound design.
It took quite a while, which is why people were so fond of the game. For example there is a jump scare if you walk out of the first room backwards, although sadly that isn't in this version.
So just stick at it and enjoy the sense of discovery. Or just read the guide that comes with the game...
After playing games like red dead redemption for 50 hours, sometimes you just want to feel something. To feel alive.
In VR, you literally can start that way by literally starting that way :-)
Has there been a VR game where you play at least part of it laying down and it simulates you closing your eyes and later "waking up".
Because I imagine that could scare the shit out of you.
I agree, PT was just a demo yet it was the scariest bit of gameplay I'd ever played, and I've played many horror games. Can't imagine what the full game would have been like with Kojima, Junji Ito and Del Toro involved. Really hope Kojima returns to the genre
Haven't downloaded this iteration yet but I saw this clip of the infamous jump scare.

It's definitely lacking that cinematic sheen and the animation is clunky, but it's P.T.
It's pretty faithful in terms of recreating the space and vibe, though it is missing some of the gameplay elements that even the Qimsar remake from last year had (which was also missing quite a bit itself, so to date there's been no 100% accurate P.T. clone). The opening where the player picks themselves up off the floor was cut, the double-ended cockroaches aren't present, and neither is the bloody bag. The bathroom door jumpscare closes on its own without Lisa appearing briefly. The finale with the laughing baby and Lisa scares is greatly simplified, with one exact set of steps required to follow in order to trigger the ending. Also, the Silent Hills reveal teaser at the end was removed as the dev wanted to remake it in-engine and found it too time consuming. Some of the other triggers appear to be missing as well, though I haven't done a thorough comparison enough to make a list. I'm also probably forgetting a few things, but you get the idea.
Which sounds like a lot, and it absolutely is! I'm hoping that the dev accepts some help or revisits it at a later date to add in some of the missing pieces, Konami's wrath notwithstanding. But still, it's an extremely impressive replica.

Getting through PT on PS4 was an uncomfortable experience. To relive that in VR sounds like a nightmare. I'm going to have to pass.
Dark areas in VR really mess with my head, add in creepy atmospheric audio and I have to get the hell out.

Tried this on the Oculus Rift but I've never played the original. It's a bit confusing on what to do but pretty cool. The rendering is really weird on the Rift though, like was mentioned before, a sort of fish eye / distorted lens effect. It sorta looks like those 360 VR pictures at times but the dark areas look really good. Don't really like all the looping though.
I really tried to finish the demo when came out, all three times I was brave enough to play...
Original post from reddit is somewhere in this thread.
Here's the one from eurogamer:

Version 1.07 is out now! The author of Unreal PT will delete the game next week, so hurry up if you want it on your PC!

Konami really are mind bogglingly stupid to let a game so blisteringly hot slip through their fingers.
Well that's a shame. Arguably that is the most distinctive and memorable moment of the entire demo. If you're going to get one thing right, it should be Lisa.
Slaving over every other detail in the entire thing as close as original to possible and then skimping out on Lisa is...an unfortunate decision. Now instead of violently murdering you in a disorienting frantic moment, she sort of forcibly hugs you while you awkwardly stare at her neck. It's much calmer.
There are a lot of things you could breeze over in this and get away with, Lisa is not one of them. With seemingly no more updates coming, that'll forever hold this recreation back.
Does she at least still rush the player with that horrible noise when you get too close later in the game?
Edit: No she doesn't. The noise happens but she just vanishes.
Edit 2: Damn it she's not even present to slam the bathroom door shut. I dont think she appears outside in the rain anymore, either.
Lisa got robbed. This may replicate the graphics and the gameplay well but it's missing some vital moments.
