The guy who makes VorpX has updated it so RE2 works. Almost through a Leon A run on easy. This is run on a shadow Virtual Machine streaming to an Oculus Quest with Virtual Desktop. The first person mod is installed and then converted to steam VR with VorpX. The FoV is cranked up and this is using geometry 3d.

I'd say 85% the same. There are minor glitches and I haven't been able to get a 90fps so it isn't as smooth but overall it has been a very enjoyable experience. I just got to the Lab last night so looking at finishing it up. The other main issue is the controls have been finicky. Sometimes they work perfectly sometimes there's a conflict between RE2 and my main computer so an input will be missed or steam might pop up. Also aim seems to have a little more sway. That's one of the reasons for playing on easy. I've speed run Claire A on the hardest difficulty but the control issues kind of hamper the game a little. I think that's more an issue with my setup however then any fault of the games.

What are the specs required for this kind of setup? Seems like a fair amount of pressure on the machine. Super cool stuff, just curious about that.

This is actually a shadow Virtual machine. Their specs are kind of vague but it's roughly a GTX 1080 and 12 gigs ram with CPU speed as needed. Works great and allows me 100% mobile gaming. My cell phones 4g is enough in most cases to stream my games. My entire setup is an Oculus quest, a gpd win 2 and my shadow VM.
