Those who are returning after enjoying the game before, though? They’re going to love it, and whilst I won’t spoil anything here, feeling so immersed in some of the more epic and horrendous set pieces of the game in virtual reality almost made it feel like a whole new game at time. Virtual reality offers a level of immersion that you won’t experience in typical video games, so getting to experience that when playing a game that I hold in my memory so fondly never stopped feeling special.ĭon’t get me wrong, those who are completely new to the game will still be able to appreciate all of the finer points of the experience anyway, and the set pieces are nothing short of brilliant (and horrifying). Visiting iconic locales like that opening village or the Salazar Castle in virtual reality feels so special after having so many fond memories playing the game over the years, as does facing off against the hordes of Galados or the hulking El Gigante (which are a million times more frightening in virtual reality). I feel like it’s worth pointing out from the get-go that Resident Evil 4 VR will be appreciated the most by those who have played the game before. ![]() Check out a gallery of screenshots down below: Resident Evil 4 VR is an outstanding re-invention of a classic game and one that owners of the headset simply HAVE to play. Well, I’ll alleviate any potential worries immediately. Whilst I’m a huge fan of virtual reality, some games that weren’t initially designed for it haven’t really made the transition all that well – especially when there’s a heavy focus on exploration or enemies attacking from all directions… you know, something that Resident Evil 4 is renowned for. It was brilliant then and still has been across the multiple generations of console it has released on ever since.ĭespite this, I had a few reservations about its release on Oculus Quest 2. ![]() It’s no surprise, really not only did it re-invent the Resident Evil series in a way fans loved, but it also introduced gamers to a new way to enjoy third-person shooting action. ![]() Granted this is only one game that is Quest 2 exclusive, but with the Oculus event on the 21st I imagine we're likely to see more Quest 2 exclusives.Ĭonsidering its been less than 2 years since the launch of the Quest 1, how do people feel about support slowly being stripped back? We all know the rift s has already essentially been killed, now the Quest 1 and all within a short period of time after release, does this set a bad precident for future headsets and do we think, given another 2 years that even the Quest 2 will have support dropping? Hopefully the Quest 1 will still continue to get support for the foresable future, but with this announcement I worry the floodgates have been opened and the platform is going to die out pretty quick.Resident Evil 4 has seen multiple releases across lots of different platforms over the years, with its initial release coming back in 2005. Now I'm sure lots of people will just say why not just upgrade? Or that the 835 in the Quest 1 is out of date which I suppose are fair arguments in some respects, though not all of us have the money to upgrade and the chip set in the Quest 1 was decided by Oculus, surely if it was going to die off so quickly some better decisions with the chips would have been a good idea. With the announcement of Resident Evil 4 being a Quest 2 exclusive, as a Quest 1 owner its got me slightly frustrated.
