Iron Rebellion Developers Spent A Decade Building Toward MechWarrior In VR (www.goodvirtualreality.com)

Justin Spice is on a mission to make something like MechWarrior in VR.

In the 1990s he set up a cardboard box around his PC’s monitor to simulate a cockpit for MechWarrior 2 running on Windows 95. Roughly 30 years later, Iron Rebellions’s very positive rating on Steam (and 4.6 on Quest) is a testament to his effort at Black Beach Studio to create a fully fledged VR mech game inspired by his experience back then.

I recently bought it on a discount but have not tried it yet. Looks definitly interesting, but it seems like mostly intended for PvP, with few players online according to the reviews.

On a related note: there is a VR mod for Mechwarrior 5 that also works quite well.
