I still remember the hush that fell over the audience when Sony revealed the first trailer for Final Fantasy VII Remake<\/em> \u2014 and the cheers. Fans couldn\u2019t wait to see these characters again in HD. But there may now be an even more immersive way to thrust yourself into the world of Cloud, Tifa, Barret, and Aerith: a virtual reality mod by Luke Ross<\/a> for the PC version of the game.<\/p>\n
Ross is the modder we profiled last month<\/a> whose day job is unofficially bringing games to VR; you pay $10 a month to support his work and get access to his mods. The last time we left him, he\u2019d just been slapped with a DMCA takedown notice<\/a> seemingly over his popular mods for Red Dead Redemption 2<\/em>, Grand Theft Auto V, <\/em>and Mafia: Definitive Edition<\/em>. While neither game publisher Take-Two nor Patreon told him what exactly was infringing, he decided to strip out every single reference to those games out of a credible fear that Patreon would shut down his entire account and kill his source of income.<\/p>\n
\n<\/aside>\nAfter that, it wasn\u2019t entirely clear what Ross would do next. But he typically adds support for one game a month, and today\u2019s release for Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade<\/em><\/a> <\/em>means he\u2019s still right on schedule. <\/p>\n
