CAPCOM was the star of yesterday’s State of Play thanks to Resident Evil 4 Remake and Street Fighter 6, but the Japanese publisher also announced a PS VR2 version for Resident Evil Village.
PC gamers can already play Resident Evil Village in Virtual Reality mode thanks to the recently released Resident Evil VII and Resident Evil VIII VR mods developed by modder Praydog.
The experience will include support for PlayStation VR2 Sense technology and introduce new ways to interact with the world of Resident Evil Village. These controllers empower players to perform intuitive actions, such as raising their arms to guard against enemy attacks. The VR campaign also introduces other new gameplay elements, such as the ability for Ethan to dual wield weapons. You are also now able to execute dynamic actions such as firing your gun while holding a knife with the other hand, or holding a handgun with one hand and a shotgun with the other. These advanced controllers increase the player’s immersion with the game.
