Which (already existing) games would you like to see ported to VR?

Please refrain from smartass "I want nothing ported to VR it is dead blahblahblah" posts. Let people dream a little. Also, try typing more than just the name of the game, what you envision it to be like? How would it play? Maybe you want remastered/remade graphics for classics, etc.


Phantasy Star Online: There's actually a VRChat world that covers the first area of the game, it has enemies and everything! Why didn't I choose one of the newer games? Well, first because the original game's atmosphere hasn't been matched since, it was one of the first games that made me want to inhabit the world in it, second because its more deliberate combat mechanics could be easier to replicate from the VR perspective. The VRChat world nearly gets it and introduces blocking mechanics similar to Until You Fall.



After Burner Climax: To me this is the fastest game I've ever played, everything zips by incredibly fast and looks beautiful even to this day. I've played plenty of VR games that are praised for its sense of speed, none of them has given me a thrill like ABC. And before you guys say "vomit comet", I've got solid VR legs, I could easily be barrel rolling in this game for hours. Infact, slower motion is more likely to give me motion sickness.



Bioshock: To this day I still don't understand why 2K decided not to port this instead of Borderlands 2, which they butchered by making it single player only! You know what's a single player game that's a perfect candidate for VRification? Bio-fucking-shock. Come on, one of the most interesting and beautiful settings in gaming begs to be seen from the inside, in real scale. And even gameplay-wise it's perfect for VR: You have your weapons on one hand, your plasmids on the other, imagine being able to freely move them independenly. I can't understand how most big AAA studios are really clueless when making VR games, while independent studios keep stealing their thunder. (Arken Age, Vertigo 1 & 2, etc. etc.)



Bionic Commando 2009: This game has been unfairly maligned IMO. Mastering the bionic arm controls to swing through the levels is very rewarding, it took me back to the good times when games not only had challenge, but you have to become good with the controls as well, like Bionic Commando on NES. And the multiplayer deathmatches were fuuuuun, none of this XP progression crap.



Racing Games: Why oh why does every racing game with VR support has to be a simulator? Where are the arcade racing games? (and this is for non-VR too) Even VRChat has attempts to recreate Ridge Racer and Daytona USA, and while neat, they're not the full, real games. Give me:
Burnout 3 Takedown/Revenge
Forza Horizon 4
F-Zero GX
Ridge Racer 7
Test Drive Unlimited
Wave Race
Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010)

Starfield. With HIGGS mod and VRIK from Skyrim VR. The physics and interactivity, it’s all there already, perfect for VR.
 
PS4+PSVR1 wasn't strong enough to deliver the full blown VR experience RE7 deserved thus I still haven't played it to this day (not interested in the flat version).

Still waiting for the PSVR2-port. I'd pay full price for it.
 
I came to say Bioshock. Happy to see OP has already mentioned it. I don't own VR myself and haven't tried it yet, but in a couple years down the line i might pick it up and having more compelling games on it is always a plus.

Ace Combat,
Armored Core
Every Car Racing game
Ace Combat and Project Wingman in VR is has converted me from being a third person only player to a full first person player. Also, if you turn around in a two-seater in Project Wingman you get to see best WSOfu, Prez.
What I really want though are more drivable cities in VR. Cyberpunk in VR is just glorious.

Not a huge fan of VR, the games don't seem to hold my attention for more that a few minutes, but I would like to try Black and White.

Shin Migami Tensei 1-2. Shining in the Holy Ark. Populous. Black and White

Never played KingsField but Id like to try it in VR

Mech games would be good too

If you have a PC and VR headset that can pair with it, I highly recommend the praydog VR mod. I agree with you the game deserves to be played with VR for first experience. I tried playing it flat on PC and couldn't do it. Just sucked too much. Years later when I tried with the VR mod it was like a brand new game. Really immersive and fun to play. Pretty much marathoned it overnight, one of my favorite VR experiences to date. You don't need a super powerful PC to play it either. I played it on a i7 7700k and 1080 Ti, and I managed to mostly play at max settings with very rare frame drops in certain sections of the map. I upgraded to a 7950x3D and 4090 and while the performance was phenomenal and I could crank the resolution, it was basically the same experience. Hope that helps. Good luck and have fun.

Siren in VR. The sightjacking mechanics could work unbelievably well in VR. You could even mess around with the split screen view by closing one eye to see your character perspective and then closing the other to see the enemy's. There is also that level in Siren 2 where you are the blind guy who has to sightjack his guide dog to see, which the recently announced game Out of Sight has kind of ripped off. I remember there was speculation the Sony studio Firesprite might be making a new Siren in VR but I think it got deboonked.

Literally none

none. it is a waste of human and financial resources that could be better used on games for a mostly non-existent and pretty much failed "platform".
...
Literrally the first paragraph of the topic:

We all agree it should be Metroid Prime games
Last year I played through Metroid Prime 1 on Dolphin VR, it's nearly perfect! I've noticed so many more details than when playing on TV.
It's only missing motion controls. The Wii version from Trilogy can be played with motion controls but they feel way off. Meta should make a deal with Nintendo to bring the trilogy to the Quest with the guys behind the RE4 port (Armature), which was founded by former directors from Retro Studios.

PS4+PSVR1 wasn't strong enough to deliver the full blown VR experience RE7 deserved thus I still haven't played it to this day (not interested in the flat version).

I'm on the same boat, I have yet to play Resident Evil Village and 4 Remake but it'll be some years before I can afford a PSVR2 and a PS5.

The Forza Horizon games for sure, Forza motorsport as well I guess. Indiana Jones. Halo. Avowed. Starfield. CoD.

It's a sad state of affairs that MS refuse to support VR with the exception of Flight Sim - they have so many first person and sim-lite properties.

Thanks - that's good to know indeed! Already got the PSVR2 PC-adapter but for some reason it doesn't work on my GTX 1060.

But once I get a new PC in the next years I'll definitely play it that way (unless there's a PSVR2-port by then).

The original Resident Evil would be a good fit. I'd also like to see a Clock Tower game come to VR. Getting chased by Scissorman would be pretty scary.

Battlefield 3/4
Killzone 2
Ico/SOTC/TLG
Prey
Dishonoured
Mario

Of the top of my head. Lol.

Also all racing games and all adventure/puzzle games.

I also think VR needs to implement more options to use a regular controller to bring more people in. For example BF, would be absolutely nuts (even using a controller) and would help move headsets.

Burnout and more arcade racers in general. Imagine the feeling of having scraps of metal coming at your face when you crash.

Far Cry, preferably 5 or 6 but any Far Cry experience would do. I know about the VR game that is available at some locations, but I want a more full-fledged game I can play at home. The recent Far Cry games have felt very immersive in their world building, bringing it to VR would take it to a new level.

Dead or Alive Xtreme.
The PS4 version had a lovely photo/exhibition mode in VR.
