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.

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.

I like portal for the concept of... well... the portal gun. I'm not in it for the mind-numbing puzzles, the 5-star voice acting, the stupendous writing, or the brilliant composition work... I'm here for the thing-go-in & thing-come-out holes. Portal in VR but without a working portal gun? That's like giving someone a beautifully wrapped present stuffed with bubble wrapping, tissue paper, and nothing else.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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 sooooooo freaking cool. I might just have to try the gmod method just to see how it works, even if it's a buggy mess.

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

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

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.

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

7:15 “runs well” also “difficult to run”

Liked and subscribed because of how funny the rant about VorpX was. 10/10 would vomit again.

3 ways? I think you mean 3 days. Until Mario steals your liver

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

Love the ending of the video :)

I've been waiting this video for years

Some time ago I tried playing Portal in stereoscopic 3d by using steamlink on my phone, which was in a 5 dollar VR headpiece, and controlling it with a game controller (no motion controls) The one room in which you have to keep flying up to shoot your portal into the next highest platform was quite disorientating, but it kind of worked. I now have a phone with motion controls and game controllers with motion controls (I'm thinking Nintendo Wii controller with nunchuck). Maybe I can rig all of this together to get super motion sick instead of regular motion sick.

we got some wonderful news, someone managed to port half life 2 to vr, that means source in vr, and we WILL see portal in vr pretty soon

A method I thought of but would require some handcrafting and is only available for the Switch would be activating the motion controls in the settings and use them with the right joycon and switching all the controls to the left joycon. That way you can make your own vr-headset thing out of cardboard. By the way you should insert your Switch along with the right joycon to the box and leave the left one outside to use it (change portal shooting buttons to ZL and L). This works with both Portal 1 and 2 for the Switch.

I got nausea just thinking about this. But I admire your dedication so much.

The new Bonelab portal campaign mod is probably the best way to play it.

Good idea, by calling it "3 ways..." Valve will never notice this video

hopefully, valve will release an official portal VR game in the next 20ish years like half life alyx

If your lazy there’s a fan game that has vr support on roblox. Overall it looks really good and is pretty well thought out. It’s still in beta and it’s called: Tunneler

Well, I don't get motion sick, but I'm wondering if it's somehow possible to get TF2's VR mode back into Portal. I believe it gives you far more freedom in how to aim than VorpX does, though I could be wrong

Hey dorainn, I don’t know if you saw it, but yesterday a vr mod for portal 2 released, And it’s really awesome! Only drawback is that you are flipped right up instantly when going through a sideways portal but I heard many people complained about that so maybe that will be fixed in a newer version, but thought I’d let you know if you didn’t already know

When I play vorp X I actually use my VR controllers all though they are literally just controllers in the way you'd use your Xbox controller but its at least slightly more natural then being stuck facing your desk to use the mouse.

roblox has a surprisingly good portal vr game

for Vorpex, you theoretically could map vr controls to wasd and mouseclicks, with JoyToKey.

Okay I definitely need to try all these Methoden even tho I’ll go broke buying all these games. Even though I bought portal one a long time ago

hope they work keep making these videos their great :)

Cool

Now you can play (most) of Portal 1 in VR using the Portal 2 VR mod and portal 1 remastered on the steam workshop sadly you can only play up until you escape the cake trap but thats still most of the game and it works perfectly

Valve, go in and make these games truly VR!

i hope the Source VR Mod Team will do something with portal 1, since portal 1 is basically a mod to half life 2

one day we will have a fully working vr gmod portal

I would so totally make a vr portal in unity if I had that kinda time and ambition ;-;

the vorpx method reminds me of the early days of vr with a oculus rift dk2

Now you're just tempting me cause I don't get motion sick from VR, including using analog/continuous looking and movement. The only thing that sounds awful is the aiming with your head. Also that price tag.

Hook up your head movement to the right stick and boom, all first person games can be played in vr

now we have a new one :)

The only issue with the HL alyx maps is that there’s fall damage… in a portal game… oof

Can you make an updated video portal 2 now has a mod made by gistix which is an actually properly made portal vr mod you can actually hold and move the portal device in your hand and portals dont look dumb and it actually is really good and it is actually inside the real game not a different game its also free if you have portal 2 already

valve should make a vr version tbh

8:15 - I was _sooo_ pissed when I found out that Bioshock 1 & 2 had been removed from vorpX when they were about the only reason I bought vorpX in the first place. Turns out I had seen some obsolete game list for the software - like in this video - prior to purchasing. Not your fault, just saying...

What VR headset do you use ? Also, does RTX 3060 support VR ?

Also Vorpx sounds like I could handle the motion sickness since I had to deal with PSVR at one point and some games quite literally have a similar experience, probably not to Vorpx degree but it doesnt sound quite as bad as it could be.. However, I dont like how when you purchase it its literally I one time use program for 1 system.. I hear that if you have to reset your entire os or lose a harddrive or what not you cannot use the program you bought and for that reason I am not paying for Vorpx..

what about vorpx with the portal 2 sixense motion pack mod which lets it use vr controllers instead of razer hydras?

when s&box comes out it will probably be the best way to make portal vr

you know, if VorpX wasn't so fricking EXPENSIVE, but rather a one-time 5$ purchase, it would be pretty appealing imo

Now if only the Portal Guns weren't all based off of each other and weren't scuffed to hell..

vopx standing with wiimote + nunchuck in gun cover/holder. look/aim with your face(aka gunface) walk with thumbstick, jump to jump duck to duck(accelerometers). its not perfect, but you wont spew

so what you're telling me, is that for the whole game with all the mechanics and properly rendered portals ETC- is through Minecraft

I really hope someone tries to add Portal into Boneworks. Seems kinda obvious to me considering that's the native VR equivalent to Gmod.

Talking about the gmod method

When the HL2 native VR port releases, it shouldn’t be too hard for people to people to make Portal 1 VR with full 6DOF controls

what about the portal mod for bonelab?

I will use the half life alxy one it is the most simple way to do it and two it look relly fun

then there is roblox its possibly the best way to play portal in vr, even though its not technically portal and just a portal-inspired game it still involves portals, just no portal or portal 2 maps... and it doesnt actually take place in the aperture laboratories facility, but i think it does take place in the same timeline.

strange, using the -vr launch option in portal lets you see through them, wonder why it doesn't work on gmod

someone should make a portal gun mod for H3VR. the physics are amazing and its heavily modable. nobody has done it yet so i dont know if its possible with the current maps, but as long as you can port the maps into unity i can see it working almost perfectly (at least for portal 1).

DID I JUST SEE... PORTAL 3!?

In vorpx you can use a controller and not worry about the mouse. Using a mouse to move is really nauseating in VR.

So basically, VorpX needs to get controller support and it'll be great

as someone who is used to 15 fps in vr this will be perfect

You can also just... use the built in way which is basically just a stereoscopy filter

Considering Valve MADE A VR HEADSET, it baffles me they don’t make at least some VR ports to their original titles. Like hell, they rereleased Portal just for some ray tracing. I don’t care if I puke, that’s half the point I want it. Most VR games feel like I’m moving at the speed of a crawling baby or restricting motion altogether just to mitigate motion sickness, and it gets so boring. I’m playing VR to do wacky and crazy shit that I couldn’t do in real life, and that inherently is going to induce motion sickness. You just need to get used to it like anything else.

4. Cactus cowboy portal vr

I’ve never had issues with gmod vr fps, I think I don’t care about fps in vr because I’m kinda used to it but I’ve never had issues.

Does anyone else have a problem to where when you try to pick up the portal gun from the stand it doesn’t appear in your hand. How do you fix this

Hopefully they work well

when i have VRmod-Experimental Virtual Reality it gives me errors and so does the portal gun when i start the vr mod it does not work i really want to play portal 1 in vr please help me with this and why its givng me errors i know i do not have my addons enabled i only have the ones i need enabled

I use my index controllers to play P2 with Vorpx - little to no motion sickness whatsoever. I do have a very high end PC and an RTX3700. but even with 48GB of RAM the game is slightly blurry and I get jagged lines everywhere. I've tried maximising every setting in the P2 in game menu.

lets see

funnily enough minecrafts better portals mod works flawlessly with vivecraft if you really want that portal effect

maybe some day valve will release portal on vr

3:52 did he fricking damage boosted chell so much that she flyed into the wall?

In Vorpx with a quest 2 I've found all Vorpx game head tracking to be just a bit wonky, like being on a boat. All other PCVR quest 2 head tracking is solid, Vorpx doesn't seem to manage it for some reason. Did the VR scanning / using directVR, it's close to working, but just not quite - makes it considerably more vom inducing. Anyone else having this issue / found a fix?

(Me watching this even though I only have a PSVR) Edit: One year later, I have an Quest 2! Time to watch this video again!

I have another Portal 2 port coming out soon :) (Hopefully)

we'll just fork the hl2 vr mod and make it portal vr

Can u play portal maps in gmod if u don't have portal 1

I tried Portal 2 with vorpX once. It looked awesome but something seemed off. After tweaking and testing I gave up with the same feeling @Dorainn mentioned.

New method BONELAB There's a mod and chamber 2 already

I'd be willing to work with a modding team to either A: make a portal vr mod, or B: recreate portal black-mesa style in vr Edit: I am now going to make a portal vr

I’d pay full price for the game to be on Oculus, like just TAKE my money

What about steam link?

can you play portal 2 maps too in the gmod method

half life alyx seems like a pretty cool way to play portal but i dont really want to spend £50 on a game just for portal. vorpx honestly looks like i'll be throwing up after playing. gmod seems ok since i already own the game but i think i'll just stick to portal not in vr for now unless valve releases portal in vr

its better to just w8 for both games to come out in vr

Aussie Aussie Aussie

$20 for Gmod? Where?! it's universally like $5-15 on steam.
