Sonic The Hedgehog In Microsoft Mojang Minecraft In Virtual Reality (I’m making it more verbose)

Sonic the hedgehog in minecraft say that a few times and well enjoy the craziness that is this video welcome to a door wedge video and today we are talking about minecraft as you can tell it’s minecraft in virtual reality but it’s also sonic the hedgehog in minecraft

So it’s sonic in minecraft in vr and it’s kind of a nightmare um let me cover the basis of the mod itself and then i’ll cover a little bit about experiencing it in virtual reality so sonic the hedgehog has now a dlc for minecraft it’s about eight dollars

It’s a little more because you end up having to pay ten dollars to actually uh get the coins the stupid minecraft currency to be able to buy the dlc but then you buy the dlc and then you have some spare change so you can i don’t know download one of the

Various extra skins that they have on sale for the whole package and everything the mod itself is fairly impressive now i say mod it’s technically now wait what would you call it i guess you would just call it like a dlc because that’s really what it is

So you go to the minecraft marketplace in the bedrock versions of minecraft which covers the windows at 10 store edition the xbox the playstation the uh nintendo switch and theoretically even the mobile version of the game but you go there you buy it and then you get access to a

World template thing that you can load up uh and then it loads resource packs behavior packs and sets you up as a sonic the hedgehog character you get to move around the stage and experience sonic but functioning in the minecraft engine shockingly more playable than i anticipated being but still

Not necessarily the most playable game i’ve had i’ve i’ve seen fan games that perform a lot better what that said it is very neat is quite a loving homage to the hedgehog himself and quite a good effort to mimic many of the features and recreate the assets

In the low polygonal world that is minecraft you’ve got access to five characters to play as so you’ve got sonic tails knuckles amy shadow two of them you have to unlock by actually playing the game then there are three stages that are all handled through uh procedural generation so you go

Through each act and each act is spliced in with a little bit of different pieces to generate world uh then there are also a couple of extras you can collect the chaos emeralds you can access chao garden you have achievements um there is a lot to this little package and for the money

I think it’s actually not that bad the problem is you have to get used to playing sonic the hedgehog in minecraft it’s a very janky system since you have to deal with things like uh spin dashing is handled by pressing the sneak button but depending on what control scheme

You’re using that behaves differently if you have a controller on hand then pressing the sneak button is held down so you do start to do each character’s unique power up uh and then you release it to go forward that also carries momentum and momentum is a whole other problem because

It ends up with like sonic lost world rules where you have to hold down the run button to be able to actually keep moving forward and of course alternatively you could just double tap the forward button but that’s a pain the controls in general for minecraft do not mesh

Well with the sonic the hedgehog logic but it’s functional it’s playable it’s more playable than i anticipated it be but that brings us to sonic the hedgehog in minecraft in vr so i’m using a quest 2 headset and i’ve tried this with both an xbox controller and with uh the quest controllers

And both are fairly playable but have very severe problems that are directly a result of virtual reality you can kind of see there are certain things i have hand movement and hand tracking with a headset i am playing with the quest controllers for the video demonstration here

But it does not track anything with that the character models are very strictly animated uh though they do adhere to the head which i can tell because when i start kind of glitching up the game you can see well it’s it’s attached in very weird ways

It’s funny to see how it animates though because you’re not directly looking at it um and then beyond that uh i think there are very buggy things with it uh trying to do the spin dashes the sneak attack whatever the move is for it um just doesn’t work 90 of the time it

Goes into a completely wrong direction sometimes it will blast me backwards for some reason as i’ve experienced with shadow in this particular segment it’s just a weird behavioral mess for playing uh sonic the hedgehog um there was another vr title uh called virtua sonic which actually did make

A working sonic the hedgehog virtual reality game and that is very playable and very neat uh but this this this ain’t it chief you you do not want to play this mod in virtual reality it just will not go very well but beyond that it is a fun playable experience

Technically if you press y and get into non-immersive mode you can tell it’s playable like the game does work it plays so it’s not a problem that the engine itself can’t handle in virtuality it’s just that it’s behaving differently because of the rules of virtual reality

There’s it might be something to do with player gaze or player angle i don’t get the rules for it i didn’t program anything so i don’t have a hand on this but it does not work well in virtual reality um if you’re not using the sneak thing and you’re just trying to

Move forward and work with it it’s fine um i still wouldn’t recommend it because of course you’re trying to play sonic the hedgehog in virtual reality and god forbid if you want to go through loop-de-loops with a heads-up display on you yeah vomit city is gonna be guaranteed the only reason it didn’t

Bother me is because i’m fairly acclimated to virtual reality so like i know what i’m getting into um i am the only crazy person i can think of that would even try this though um interesting is the only thing i can say about it um playable is not what i would

Put a key word on stick to playing it in non-vr you know flat screen mode whatever you want to call it sonic the hedgehog dlc for minecraft is fun uh playing it in virtual reality is just a headache and a stomachache uh waiting to happen well that was a short video i just

Wanted to make because i wanted to do something absolutely balls of the wall um with that said i do want to propose a stupid weird challenge for anyone who has the goal to watch through this entire video and then wants to experience it for yourself um for anyone who’s played through the dlc

You might know that there is a thing called eggman mode which is basically a full gauntlet of the three stages uh to go through and my challenge is it’s it’s straight as simple as this if you have full footage video proof which will probably like a 15 or 20 minute video

I don’t know how long it i forgot how long it took me to play through eggman mode but if you can play through the entirety of the eggman mode in the sonic the hedgehog dlc in minecraft in virtual reality uh i’m willing to straight up paypal you

Fifty dollars only one person’s gonna be able to do this so you’ve gotta send it to me if you are interested in doing that or if you have any inkling of eyes at all i’m stumbling mumbling words um if you have any inkling to do that feel free to tweet at me at

Wedge stratos on twitter um i am always going to be there or comment down below with like the end code for your video and i will watch through it if you’ve successfully done it then congratulations uh gotta see though no unlocked world it’s gotta be the og sonic the hedgehog world in minecraft

Generating itself just fine and playing through no invincibilities nothing like that except for the power-ups yeah full playthrough of eggman mode in virtual reality fifty dollars that’s what i put on the table but that’s all i’m going to say about this today uh thank you very much for watching how’s that

A fantastic night and i’m going to unlock that door for you the door was already unlocked i’ll see you guys next time have yourselves a fantastic day and night cycle
