When I think of having a portal vr game, all I really care about is the portal-illusion. Any series can have a block-to-button puzzle game. I want to be able to stick my hand through a portal and be wowed at how seamless and magical it feels, like how it felt when I first played a portal game and looked through my first portal. Something that could rival that bone-chilling experience. While these look fun, they're definitely not what I'd be looking for personally.

Me and a friend are working on a mod that fully ports portal 1 to gmod without bugs and with multiplayer support + a new portalgun that actually works in vr we also made the multiplayer mod for portal 2

I don't understand why Valve just doesn't release a VR patch for the game. There's clearly a huge demand for it. If a casual modder made a functioning VR mod for Outer Wilds that feels almost official for fun, I'm sure that a huge company like Valve with huge amounts of resources could easily do this.

5:55 two handing is a feature in alyx, I don’t image that’d be too hard for them.

The 2D portals for Vr are actually probably a performance limitation.
Everything is already rendered twice for VR but two render target cameras might tank your framerate.

You mention using "The Aperture" to fix the maps, but all you actually need is the "Portal Energy Pellets and Elevators" addon and the "Talking Portal Turrets" addons alongside the core and voice fixes alongside the portal gun addons and it's fully functional. Outside of the portal gun glitches that is.

You're singlehandedly bringing my dream of Portal VR to life Dorainn mate

There's actually a load of other fully functional Portal 2 maps recreated for Half-Life Alyx by TheBoxTrot.
You can play through a couple test chambers, GLaDOS' awakening, the core transfer, and the fall.
I think they're planning to recreate the whole game, so aside from the other cons listed, this will be the best way to play it.

2:29 Thank you for introducing my addon :) funny thing is i actually made this addon for my Portal 1 VR play video.

I've reviewed Portal 2 with Vopx using the vr controllers and it really is a test of your VR legs, The Geometry 3d is what causes the main issues as the foreground assets and the geometry VR need to be calibrated as well as the height to reduce motion sickness, The character POV is closer to the ground that what my height is but adjusting this this, reduced the feeling of motion sickness in it. The main issue with doing this though is that the character 'hit box' does misalign and when lining up for bigger portal jumps using the orange gel, this can be off centre. The second issue is that the aiming Hud disappears when you do this but the aiming is done with your head. Thanks for the video on this, I'll have to check out the other mods to see how they compare.

its not vr, BUT, you can play portal 2 with your vr controllers and it works REALLY well. you do have to wear your vr headset on your forehead the whole time, but ive played through the whole game with it and its really nice. i did try just putting the headset on and using the desktop viewer in oculus but it bugged out the controls for some reason. definitely the closest thing we have to a vr-ish experience in portal 2. someone made a video explaining it. its the sixense motion pack stuff.

3:50 "it's about as content complete as a modern triple a game" bro you burned them so bad that even hell is having a hard time handeling that fire. holy f*ck

[Slorple]

apparently valve considered making a vr portal game, but it was too motion sick inducing

[kazii_the_avali]

portal 2 actually now has an actual vr mod.

[calliedsx]

Also, tunneller (Roblox) is a vr portal game (of course it is short and not actual portal) but it is cool

[TogenMerfagen]

I remember watching this, i was kinda bummed that there was no proper vr mod, untill the Portal 2 vr mod came out 2 years later XD

[mikhailplayz]

awesome I really wanted to play portal vr. also there is a vr chat map I don't think you mentioned but its surprisingly good

[cgameplays]

Good work on this video man! I released a similar video on my channel about a janky method using reshade + depth3d (basically vorpX but free I guess). I personally thought it was a cool experience but it's nowhere near perfect. I'm fine using a mouse and keyboard but 6dof would be freaking cool. I might just have to try the gmod method just to see how it works, even if it's a buggy mess.

[haircuts]

roblox has a surprisingly good portal vr game

[RealTheBoxTrot]

Great video man. I've got some more portal maps for alyx in the works so stay tuned for that :)
