I’ve been playing the last couple days, and this game is a complete VR masterpiece. The graphics, the controls, the gameplay, all chef’s kiss.
I don’t care if you like the horror genre or not (I was never a fan), if you don’t pick this game up for $29.99, you are missing out on the best reason to get a PSVR2 and maybe any VR headset right now.
Yeah you have some good points there. The coat had its issues as well, I just think it was such a neat and unique way of storing things and perfect for the character.
RE8’s VR cutscenes were definitely not a perfect solution, but they didn’t put me out of the experience the same way a 2D video does. It could’ve at least been a 3D video.
What VR mechanics are you talking about specifically? When I think of mechanics I mostly think of (object-) interactions and RE4 has basically just shooting, press button to pick up and 2D menus (over simplified ^^). I basically never play PC VR, but Quest has some great games with some awesome native VR mechanics.
Just to stress it again: pretty sure RE4 is an awesome game and I’ll definitely play it, but it still is a port and has a bunch of shortcomings because of that. Mostly mechanics as I see it (although mechanics is most likely a lot more than just object interaction).
The mechanics that I still think are great in RE4 are the reloading, shooting, grenades, knife mechanics. They were great in RE8 too, but for my money, they are a lot more fluid and reliable in RE4 (except shotgun reloading which is worse). Small changes like moving all the guns and ammo further out in front of your body makes them a lot more reliable and fluid to use for me. I feel super badass playing this game. The stuff you can smash is fun to smash too.
There are a lot of other games with good VR implementations, but for me, this one is just fluid and feels good to me. I suppose it’s just one of those personal things whether a game “clicks” for you, and this one does for me.
