Analysis of Resident Evil Village VR: A must-have on PS VR2

Capcom trusts virtual reality. With the launch of the first PlayStation virtual reality glasses, they did not hesitate to adapt Resident Evil 7 with an interesting result and now, with the launch of PS VR2, they have done the same with the latest installment of the saga, in throwing a free update for anyone who owns Resident Evil Village and wants to try the experience with a PlayStation VR2.

This analysis must begin by commenting on what I have already introduced in the previous paragraph. Enjoying Resident Evil Village on PS VR2 is free, as long as you own the original game, but for free. Capcom adapted the game for virtual reality glasses without requiring users to pay in any way, offering it completely free of charge. A nice gesture to its users, because RE: Village in VR is a “totally” different game from the original game.

An incredible experience for virtual reality

With this it is a “different game”, I mean we cannot continue with the progress of the normal version, that is when playing in virtual reality mode, the game forces us to start another game in a different save slot, so we have our progress playing with a traditional controller and our progress in virtual reality. Indeed, although the game is obviously the same, the adaptation is so different that Capcom does not want to mix the experiences.

RE:Village’s Virtual Reality Adaptation Is Incredible. The game makes you feel a tremendous immersion thanks to very well thought out mechanics. The use of weapons is impeccable, not only because they work so well, because you can feel the recoil with the vibration of the headset they work better if you wield them with two hands than one or just because switching weapons is as cool as looking at your body in game and letting the gun in the coat, belt… There’s no menu per se, but the accessible items are attached to you and you pick them up as if you’re actually wearing them. The feeling is unbeatable.

Immersion is undoubtedly the best thing about enjoying this Resident Evil Village on PS VR2. If the game without virtual reality is already immersive thanks to its setting and its scenarios, perhaps you can get an idea of ​​what it can mean to experience this in virtual reality. It’s a more than worthy and quite tense experience, because seeing Lady Dimitrescu and having to look up to see her face is quite a tense feeling.. Personally, I go through a certain “angst” with horror games and this feeling, obviously, increases if you feel inside the video game itself.

The only negative remark is that it is an update (remember free) and not a game designed in VR as such, we can notice in some things that obviously he was not born as a game thinking for him. A clear example would be the little or no interactivity we have with the environment outside of the mission objectives we are conducting. Just like in Horizon Call of the Mountains we can pick up everything on the ground like stones, boxes or many objects, none of this is possible in RE: Village.

Conclusion

In summary, RE: Village is one of the most recommended games to play on PlayStation VR2 for many reasons.. The first is that the base game It’s such a good title that if you haven’t played it, you should have it.then another more than interesting reason is that the game can be bought for less than 30 €, so in terms of price-quality it is a very interesting option. And then, as the first game in the VR catalog, it is a more than interesting piece, perhaps it was not born intended for virtual reality, but It’s one of the most powerful titles to free your glasses. For me if you have a PS VR2 you should have three games, Horizon Call of the Mountain, Gran Turismo and Resident Evil Village.
