I’ve seen snippets of this stuff before, but never quite like this - it’s so wonderful.Īdding context to the gameplay, UploadVR notes that “a lot of our performance issues are due to screen recording and that the game runs better without those extra demands,” while Eurogamer says that Praydog’s RE2 VR mod “often comes close to making it feel like the Resident Evil 2 remake was made with native, first-person VR in mind.”Ĭompared to RE4 VR on Oculus Quest 2, the visuals are much stronger here (“almost photorealistic at times”), but the RE2 VR mod lacks some specialized-for-VR menus and interactions that can keep you fully invested in your surroundings. The star of the show is a tense first-person mode with motion controls - just like you’d expect from an official VR version. While not widely available yet, the RE2 VR mod includes the ability to play in third-person with a gamepad, which could be fun in its own right.
You’ve got to see the latest footage of Praydog‘s Resident Evil 2 VR mod.Īs demonstrated in newly-recorded footage from Eurogamer and Upload VR, the Resident Evil 2 VR mod for PC has made great strides, to the point where I could see myself playing the entire campaign (and secondary run) with a sweaty headset on. I mean, even fan-made mods can get the job done in some cases.
When everything goes right, it’s a pretty unforgettable experience. VR-ify the whole Resident Evil catalog, CapcomĪfter Capcom’s outstanding early work in Resident Evil 7, and Armature Studio’s recent home run with Resident Evil 4 for Oculus Quest 2, I hope the VR side of the series can expand to not just Resident Evil Village, but other games, too.
