I played (and streamed) my play through of Resident Evil 7 in PSVR.For those who played RE7 how is the VR Experience
Can the entire game be played in VR?
Is it fun ?
Do you walk around
The immersion is incredible. I can't emphasize enough how amazing the experience is.
Being INSIDE a video game, walking through life size hallways, being chased by big monsters and life size people is an experience I'll never forget.
It'll completely change the way you look at the potential of VR. After playing RE7 in VR I feel cheated playing games on a regular TV.
The entire game can be played in VR, with a regular controller. The game supports different degrees of assisted movement to help with potential motion sickness, and has an option to play with completely free movement like you're already used to in standard FPS games.
The graphics take a hit inside the VR headset, but it doesn't take away from the immersion.
One thing that took a second to get used to is aim. You control the aim with your head, which sounds crazy, but it actually became second nature to me pretty quick and in my opinion, is much better than aiming with the analogue sticks.
I played 90% of the game in VR. The last bit I played normally because I wanted to hurry up and finish the game. I was able to play for around an hour (give or take) at a time in VR.
I found playing standing up helped with the sickness, and also added to the immersion of the game. Sitting down felt very unnatural to me, especially since everything is life size in the headset. It made no sense for my eyes to tell me I was walking but for my body to tell me I was sitting on a couch.
I don't think (or at least don't remember) anyone else on this board playing Resident Evil, or at least beating the game in VR.
If this game doesn't make you (or anyone else) a believer in VR, nothing will.
