If you are having stereotypical expectations, fret not. It is tailored for Japanese audiences and meant for arcade cabinets. Half-Life 2: Survivor is not a mod, it’s an actual Valve game licensed to Taito Corporation. Valve Software and Taito Corporation (2006) | Source

In Half-Life: Alternative Origin, you ‘play’ as a vending machine. It also follows the logical pattern set by the core Half-Life games: You’ve played as a scientist, security guard, marine, and even as a vortigaunt in Decay. Though simplistic, it’s hilarious because it’s not just nonsensical. According to the concept art, Newton was even going to have a miniature kitty HEV suit. Cat-Life: GS was the first remake attempt and only playable content available. Despite the issues, the concept is still amusing – You experience the events of Half-Life through the eyes of Newton the cat. The original mod never got finished, and two separate attempts to revive the project failed as well. Only a demo of this mod exists due to bumpy development.

Sometimes it wonderfully crosses over into the horrific as you realize that the barnacles are gaping G-Men maws. The tiny rodeo G-Men riding snarks are the most crazy thing. Like Jamie’s Mod, it’s a hilarious twist on the base game. Russian-made G-Man Invasion replaces every character and creature model with the G-man.

All models and weapons in the original game have been mashed with obscure YouTube characters, and then corrupted in some way. Now there’s a mod for that.Ĭreated by NexusMods contributor ‘FlyingParticle’, the nifty mod fixes many of the non-VR design conventions that were essentially ported from the flatscreen version of Skyrim, namely the overreliance on text-based inventory menus and point-and-click object interaction system-both total immersion killers in their own right.Ĭalled HIGGS VR (hand interaction and gravity gloves), the mod adds in some seriously useful abilities which were inspired by Half-Life: Alyx (2020). With it installed, both hands and objects have collision enabled so you can actually hold items.Born from the pits of Hellfire2345 and lemurboy12‘s imaginations, Jamie’s Mod is possibly the best-known Half-Life crack mod. The same goes for Skyrim VR (2018), which for all its charms, is still obviously in need of tweaks to make it more like the VR-native game it should have been when it was first released on PC VR headsets in 2018. Love them or hate them for it, Bethesda’s games offer up a great opportunity for modders to get under the hood of impressively large-scale virtual worlds and summarily fix whatever messes the studio left behind.
