Ratchet & Clank VR 0.1.5

Choose how the right stick turns your view in Options → VR Options → Turning.

New

• Smooth turning: push the right stick a little to turn slowly, or further to turn faster, up to 90° per second. A dead zone prevents accidental turning.
• Snap / Smooth choice in both the main menu and pause menu. Your choice is saved between launches; 30° snap turning remains the default.
• Both modes respect menus, quick select, shops, puzzles and hoverboard controls. After a blocked interaction or a focus change, return the stick to center before turning again.

Addresses the smooth turning request in #5.

How to play

Download RatchetVR-0.1.5.zip, unzip it, start SteamVR and double-click RatchetVR.exe. First launch requires your own Ratchet & Clank disc image (.iso, original US release SCUS-97199).

Updating? Unzip into a new folder, then move your data and saves folders from the previous version to keep your extracted game and progress.

RatchetVR Sandbox.exe starts on Kerwan with every weapon, gadget and planet unlocked.

Ratchet & Clank VR 0.1.4

Akimbo weapons, a seated mode, and a hoverboard and turrets that handle like the stick.

New

• Akimbo (VR Options): hold a weapon in your left hand too, with its own quick select ring. Every weapon works except the Visibomb, and so does the Swingshot. One hand can fire while the other swings, hangs or turns a bolt crank.
• Play position (VR Options): Standing or Seated.
• Hoverboard, side-on: the view faces where Ratchet's body does on the board, like in the game.

Changed

• Hoverboard steering: you steer with the left stick only. Leaning is gone, and so is its option.
• Turrets: Gaspar's cannons and Batalia's turret now turn toward your right controller as fast as Hoven's turret, so all three handle the same.

Fixed

• Your hands and weapon no longer show inside the turrets.
• The hoverboard race starts with the board and the view facing down the course.
• Decoy Glove: the ball sits in the middle of your palm.
• Overwriting a save: "Yes" works with the pointer.
• VR Options shows all its rows.
• Switching Player body to Always in the pause menu no longer shows Ratchet's head.
• With Akimbo off, the left trigger works as R1, like the grip.

Ratchet & Clank VR 0.1.3

Drek's final fight can now be finished in VR.

Fixed

• Black screen on Drek's last platform: the camera shot when you land there no longer leaves you staring at black for 10 to 15 seconds.
• The button's countdown now pauses during the camera shots, like on the console, so they no longer eat your time.
• "Teleported into the button": if the countdown runs out, the game over scene is now shown from the outside instead of from inside Clank, under the arena.

Tip: the stomp only counts if you land on the button, so let go of the stick before you come down.

Ratchet & Clank VR 0.1.2

See your own body, smoother ship sequences and simpler menus.

New

• Player body (Options → VR Options): see the body you play when you look down, without its head. Cutscenes shows it in story scenes and ship sequences, Always also while you play, as Ratchet, Clank, Giant Clank or the Hologuise disguise. Even on Off (the default), Ratchet's hands now show in cutscenes.
• Cutscenes: you now see from between Ratchet's eyes, and walking around your room no longer pulls you out of his head.
• Leaning and looking down: turning or nodding your head no longer walks Ratchet around, and looking down shows your feet.

Fixed

• Ship take-off and landing: the camera no longer passes through the canopy, and the hull and its glass no longer lag behind as the ship lifts off.
• Menus open at eye level and stay clear of floors and walls. Point at an option, then pull the trigger or press A to confirm.
• Quick select always opens on its first page.
• VR Options shows every option at once.
• Hologuise: raising your open right hand (a salute or a wave) works like the trigger.
• Vendor: the prompts show the trigger for buying, not A (A jumps there).
• Walloper: a real punch launches the lunge right away, keeping its blue arcs and its pace.
• New games start with the helpdesk off. Turn it back on in Options.

Ratchet & Clank VR 0.1.1

Fix release: choosing a memory card slot works again in VR.

Fixed

• New Game, Save and Load: the save slots can be picked again. Point at a slot with the right controller and pull the trigger, or move with a stick and press A. Before, the slots didn't react to the pointer, and pointing at another part of the page could stop the trigger, A and the sticks from working there at all.
