I enjoyed village in vr but always thought it had this weird unstable feeling, like everything vibrated and generally felt a little unstable. Hopefully this irons out all the kinks. Really buzzing I never got it when it came out, the og one on the GameCube held a space in my top 10 games ever so I’m super excited to play it through again

Unstable? I just finished Village and played it off and on for many months. I never found it to be unstable. It could be an issue with the room you use as your play space not having enough tracking surfaces? If that’s it you could add posters etc to the walls. If you mean the reprojection, I could see it, as it’s running at 60 fps native.

Yea I was thinking that or he just watched a YouTube playthrough where it does that jittery look, which oddly isn’t the experience in the head set.

Quick question
IS there an option to make reloading easier on VR?
I have been told Resident evil village was pretty hard on psvr2 because of it

[Babadook7]

@Ratchet

Yes. From the main menu you can enable one button reload and other ease of use features.

But, I highly recommend just learning how to reload with your hands and getting good at it. It really adds immersion and nuance to boss battles, and it isn’t really hard, you just have to reload in key moments.

I also played it from beginning to end and I didn't get that feeling my overall thoughts boiled down to it being probably my favourite VR game to date and if you told me this was a vr game from the ground up I would have belived it. There's clear limitations in the world not everything can be interacted with like a traditional vr game but what can be is excellent. Reloading is the most satisfying feeling I've ever had in a vr game to date including pavlov.

Despite not being a vr developer Capcom somehow put most VR dev teams to shame.

@crimson if it's the social screen output I'd believe it however as it's clearly not the most robust implementation to date given the headset each foviated rendering deficit is far easier to notice given it's not obviously using eye tracking on the social screen meaning the output is noticeably worse to the non player something that's impossible to noticing headset

When I say unstable I mean the graphics, even compared to something like saints and sinners (which is awesome by the way) where the world feels completely solid and stable. When I play village it’s like the edges of things aren’t completely stable. It’s not stopped me enjoying it don’t get me wrong. I feel like all the trailers I saw of the psvr version looked better than the game did itself. Idk. I’m shocked no one agrees to be honest. I’m playing no man’s sky now and it isn’t as detailed as village but even that feels more stable and solid. Saints and sinners has a completed different art style but I actually prefer how it looks personally, it’s much cleaner.

I still have high hopes for resi 4 vr though, I’ll be there day one

[Profchaos]

@poppatron I think what you're noticing is reprojection it's a method used to increase the frame rate and can lead to ghosting some people are more perceptible to it personally I don't notice it at all it's not in all games however. Games like red matter 2 and the the no man's sky update don't feature it and have natively high frame rates due to the lack of this technique combined with foviated rendering

You are seeing the future of gaming folks. I appreciate being a part of it.

[Babadook7]

Indeed. I feel like I’m privileged to play next gen stuff today when games take advantage of the hardware with AAA quality.

Hats off to Capcom for supporting PSVR continuously for 6+ years now. Bethesda were the only other 3rd party publisher who were really pushing for VR until they were acquired by the anti-VR MS. Hopefully more will come, Sony, get out your wallet and start getting VR modes into more mainstream AAA titles.

[Profchaos]

I really hope there's still a chance Bethesda can show psvr2 some love given they still released doom 3 VR post acquisition.

Microsoft has historically allowed their Dev teams to work on non competing gaming platforms for example rare was permitted to continue making GBA games post acquisition

[ApocalypseShadow]

All Sony really has to do is pay Capcom a big sum of money to put Dragon's Dogma 1 or 2 in VR. Would be great to see Skyrim updated. But doing this with Capcom would kill the need of needing Bethesda and avoid.. lol. Anti VR Microsoft.

They took many developers out the VR game with all their publisher purchases.

[generic-user-name]

I'd take more Capcom AAA titles, but I need Sony to convince R* that GTA V, RDR2 and GTA VI need to support VR too.

[Babadook7]

"Sony, get out your wallet and start getting VR modes into more mainstream AAA titles."

I like that sentiment.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Sony remade TLoU Pt1 to make a killer VR patch. With the gun mechanics it would work as well in VR as RE titles.

[generic-user-name]

That was my hope when TLOU Part 1 was announced but with still no word of VR support at all, it seems doubtful at this stage. If they have Nixxes for PC ports, they should also acquire a studio for PSVR2 ports, maybe someone like First Contact Entertainment, who they already have a close relationship with.

having this game in my possession and refusing to play it until the VR mode is ready has been excruciating. I want to play this game already, hurry up Capcom PLEASE!
