Theorized VR Control for Fallout 4
The only spoilers are about the game mechanics and not about the story, please keep it that way :)
Fallout 4 isn’t made for VR and won’t be officially ported to VR. There will probably be a slew of VR mods in the upcoming years. So what’s the best way to convert the controls over to VR. here are my ideas, post yours.
I would use the touch controllers.
-First thing would be to decouple the head and gun movements.
-Get rid of reload button to manually reload weapons
-Virtual hands/arms including Pipboy on your left arm which you raise your arm to look at, I would also have a button on the left controller when held to project a holo version of the pipboy bigger and in front of you. The right controller analog would be used to twist/pull/push the dial to change menus only if right controller is next to pipboy or anywhere if holo pipboy is up. You would be able to touch the holo version and directly select items.
-Grenades would be on your belt that you grab, I would have weapons that are assigned to body instead of a quick pad. So a pistol may be selected if you reached down to your right leg and press the grab buttons. Can have places like on your back and chest e.g. This could be limiting in the number of items that you have but would be willing to try it. Stimpacks would also be a movement that you inject yourself.
-VATS is hard, I would be safe and just have a virtual screen that pops up in front of you (not too big)and works the same.
Building would have to be majorly revamped too. I’ll think about it and post later
