Some fans don’t stop asking for the Resident Evil 4 remake, especially since its predecessors received the same treatment; but until this happens, if at some point it happens, we will settle for a Resident Evil 4 VR that Capcom announced earlier this year. This installment had bigger and more dynamic stages, quite a novelty at the time; and even improved graphically with its remastered version, but getting into virtual reality, is a step that goes further.
The truth is that until today, its managers had limited themselves to offering a gameplay, ensuring that the game would exclusively reach the remarkable virtual reality device Oculus Quest 2. After this batch of news, we now know that its release date is scheduled for October 21, a good date to welcome Halloween. To celebrate this announcement, the team also released a new breakthrough.
A new coat of paint for Resident Evil 4
This virtual reality port has made small changes with respect to the original horror game from 2005. It features the same narrative content and design, rather than getting the kind of overhaul that Resident Evil 2 had in 2019. However, many of the game’s items and menus have been redesigned to better flow with a VR setup. For instance, the classic pause screen It is fully interactive, being able to grab weapons and items and rearrange them freely.
Also, the game is not completely first person. All his scenes will be featured in its original format in third personincluding those tied to Resident Evil 4’s many QTEs. Based on Facebook’s description, the game features a few camera changes that will offer a spooky perspective. However, with respect to the graphics, these are similar to the HD version of 2014, so don’t expect any update or major graphic improvement.
It is also the first virtual reality experience Resident Evil coming to PC: Some will remember that Resident Evil 7 had a similar adaptation, unfortunately it remained exclusive for PlayStation VR users. But if you’re only interested in a first-person version of the original Resident Evil, you can always find out about some fan making.
