If you're still reeling from the cancellation of the Perfect Dark remake, then I know what might make you feel better. There's a VR version heading to Meta Quest thanks to the efforts of Alex Le Tux, who has uploaded footage of the project to their YouTube channel. It's their only video currently, and it's amassed a lot of interest over the last couple of days!

The project is derived from the Perfect Dark decompilation project that released 4 years ago. Alex is very clear that this standalone VR port isn't completely ready for the public yet and that it's still in the 'experimental' stage. The opening sequence, as you can see from the video below, however, looks fantastic.

As mentioned by our friends at UploadVR, Alex's work will join the likes of the VR port back catalogue from Team Beef, who have been working over the past few years to bring Duke Nukem, Tomb Raider, DOOM, and Quake to the VR world. I just know that I'd get too into this and end up rolling around on my floor and bumping into the dog. Maybe Alex can work on a VR port of Jet Force Gemini so I can get Bilbo playing as Lupus too!

As for when the game will be ready, well, only Alex currently knows that. I imagine there will be a lot of work to get through to get this ready for the public, but if Alex continues with the same level of attention to detail he's put into what we can see so far, then it's going to be an amazing project!
