The weapons Arent blurry anymore

If you played in VR, a massive life sized sludge creature with 9 inch teeth is far more terrifying. My one issue with RE7 was that it did survival horror so well up until the Lucas part where it really shat the bed and turned more into an action horror game. I found everything after Mama was such a slog.

The ship? Yeah, some of that felt tacked on a bit, but it did one thing (highlighted specifically in VR) in that it took all of your weapons off you again, so the tension on the ship was as high as it was at the start of the game, I felt. If RE8 doesn't bother with VR, I'm not bothering with it. It's that simple. 7 still has the upper hand.

The ship part was okay, I was actually thinking more about Lucas' part of the house, up to the final Jack fight and later when you regain control of Ethan and go into the mines. Also the final fight with Evelyn was pretty meh. I'm also going to wait RE8 out to see if there's going to be PSVR2 support in the future.

How vile was mamma's bug vag though, oh mamma! 🤢

There were some good bits in the Lucas part. The escape room part worked well with that creepy statue thing, but yeah, after that it was a bit of an arena battle with molded. The game definitely could have used more enemy types.
