Turok 1 Remastered

Der User Vince Crusty arbeitet augenscheinlich an einer VR-Mod für Turok 1 Remastered.

Turok was one of my favorite games growing up on the Nintendo 64. Ever since I started using VR, I’ve dreamed of a proper VR mod for Turok, with full stereoscopic 3D, roomscale movement, and fully tracked 6DoF weapons. So I finally started building one.

This mod is being developed for the current PC version of Nightdive's Turok Remaster, which was upgraded to the KEX4 engine in 2025. Since the mod directly hooks into and modifies the PC version of the game, this is a PCVR only project.

One of the biggest challenges is that there is no source code available for the game or the KEX4 engine. The parts required for VR had to be reverse engineered from the existing game, including rendering, camera behavior, input, and other internal systems. This has made the project significantly more difficult than working with an open source engine or an existing VR framework.

Despite that, most of the core VR functionality is now working.

Current features:

Full stereoscopic 3D VR rendering

eal head tracking and roomscale movement

Fully tracked 6DoF weapons

Smooth analog locomotion based on head direction

Smooth and snap turning options

Physical knife melee attacks with configurable swing velocity

Weapon gestures, including grabbing the bow and knife from behind your shoulders

A new VR friendly weapon selection wheel

Full VR menu interaction with a tracked VR mouse

Adjustable UI size, with the option to disable the UI completely. The health and status UI is attached to the otherwise unused left hand

Left handed mode

Configurable controls

Crouching, mostly as a nice VR feature rather than something that provides a real gameplay advantage

Custom VR crosshair

Head bobbing disabled

VR compatible color, brightness, and contrast settings

Adjustable haptic feedback for damage, attacks, and environmental effects, with configurable vibration strength

Position reset, especially useful when switching between standing and seated play

A new high resolution Turok themed mouse cursor designed for VR

OpenXR with Vulkan

The original 60 FPS limit removed, with the game automatically running at the headset refresh rate

The video shows the VR menus, weapon wheel, weapon gestures, crouching, hand mounted UI, swimming, physical knife combat, 6DoF weapons, roomscale movement, the new crosshair, and smooth analog locomotion.

Some features are harder to demonstrate directly in a video, automatic refresh rate handling, stereoscopic rendering, head bobbing removal, haptics/rumble, and position reset.

Still coming:

A quick state system with one temporary save slot, so you can continue from your current position when there is no save point nearby

Slow motion while the weapon wheel is open

A hand mounted version of the weapon wheel

An in game VR controls and help page

Further adaptation of the original menus for VR, as some elements are currently too large or extend outside the usable view

Completing and redesigning parts of the weapon models. Like in many older 3D games, several weapons were never designed to be viewed freely from every angle, so parts of their models are incomplete. Making them work properly in VR requires additional modeling and redesign work, which takes time

The original water shader currently does not work correctly in VR, so water looks quite simple for now. I’m still working on a proper VR compatible solution

Configurable body slots for grabbing weapons

There is still work to do, but the core game is now running as an actual VR experience instead of simply being displayed on a virtual screen. For something I dreamed about since playing the original Turok on the N64, finally standing inside these levels and physically aiming the weapons is pretty surreal.

Tja damals war Turoc der Hit, aber ich glaube das ist schlecht gealtert. Glaube nicht das man sich das heute geben muss.

Aus der retrospektive, würde ich den Titel gerne mal in VR sehen, da ich ihn als Bub auch quasi geliebt habe.
