HIGVR HIG-M4 Video Demo:

We are thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership between Playground and HIGVR! Playground, our immersive game modification for Garry's Mod, is taking virtual reality to the next level by integrating HIGVR's cutting-edge haptic VR Controller into our gameplay experience. And not just any controller, but a replica of the iconic M4 rifle! With this partnership, we aim to revolutionize the way players engage with our mod. The HIGVR haptic VR Controller will provide an unprecedented level of realism, allowing players to feel the weight, recoil, and vibrations of the M4 rifle as they navigate through our virtual world. Imagine the thrill of holding a virtual M4 rifle in your hands, feeling the kickback with each shot fired, and experiencing the immersive haptic feedback as you explore the Playground environment. It's an unparalleled level of immersion that will transport players into the heart of the action. We believe that this collaboration will elevate the gameplay experience to new heights, blurring the lines between virtual and reality. The HIGVR haptic M4 VR Controller's precision and responsiveness will enhance the tactical gameplay elements of Playground, making every encounter feel intense and authentic. We are incredibly grateful to HIGVR team for their innovative technology and their belief in our vision. Together, we are pushing the boundaries of what is possible in virtual reality gaming. Stay tuned for more updates as we work diligently to integrate the HIGVR haptic VR Controller into Playground. We can't wait to share this incredible experience with our dedicated community of players. Get ready to immerse yourself in the world of Playground like never before!

What Is Virtual Reality (VR) in Playground?

Virtual reality is a fully immersive gaming experience that allows you to hook up a VR headset and controllers to your PC enabling you to control certain things while in-game. Playground 3.0 now allows the game to be compatible with almost all the most common VR headsets and systems. “VR Mod” is the technology behind this advancement and it’s available on the Steam workshop. We are developing a number of addons in order to compliment this feature!

What VR Headsets Work With This Mod?

This mod will support most of the popular VR headsets to date. The VR headset that I would recommend using is the Steam VR Headset. This headset will work the best as it’s built off the steam VR module. However, this headset will work with all supported headsets from steam VR. Another one to look at would be the Oculus VR headsets, these will also work. However, in some cases, they may be a bit buggy.

Should You Get This Mod?

Absolutely! If you are someone who has a VR headset and is in the need of some games to try out and play, we definitely recommend trying this mod out. Garry’s Mod in itself is a fun interactive game anyway with tons of NPCs to spawn and endless content that you create! The GMod server mod itself is pretty well developed though it came out a year ago so there are still some bugs and crashes, but that’s to be expected since VR wasn’t really supposed to be a part of GMod servers. Nevertheless, the mod still functions quite well and is a ton of fun to play if you have a VR headset laying around!
