Support NeoGAF

[Digital-Hero]

I wish it didn't make me motion sick. It's been great when I played it. Maybe I'll mess with the settings more.

Also, I didn't register so PSVR++ to that number.

 

[kyser73]

How did they manage to get rid of all the locomotion sickness? I thought everyone was calling it unplayable during the demo?

They added a ton of comfort customisation options. I haven't played it (too much of a scaredy cat!) but as I understand it, the options cover off everyone from people who get sim sick quickly to those with the hardiest of inner ears who can just move with a controller with no issues.

 

[Tain]

YES. I'm really happy to hear that. Best VR game since Chronos.

Drooling over the thought of more decently-budgeted VR titles, and on PC as well. Capcom prospects are way more exciting than Zenimax stuff.

Would Steel Battalion work with only a controller + vr?

Not 1:1 but it would be far, far closer to the original with VR than without, at least.

 

[Chabbles]

First of all I didn't even know the pool table was interactive. Second of all what the hell Capcom? lmao what a weird thing to track.

Is it this table ? It'd be cool if they had a full mini game in there on a proper table, multiplayer, stop for a bit of stress relief.

 

[Tain]

Im wondering this too. Im assuming movement speed plays the same way it does in non VR mode too which would be really impressive?

Tons of options, defaulting to safest. Notched rotation with the right stick, an FOV that shrinks the faster you move, and a walk speed that you can cap (doesn't affect run).

I keep everything at default except for disabling FOV reduction, and it's plenty comfortable for very long sessions for me.

 

[Sjefen]

People are crazy playing that game in VR, I would get a heart attack

 

[Dreez]

Can't wait to join, my PSVR is coming tomorrow and this will be the first thing I'll play!

 

[KalBalboa]

Mentioned this in the RE7 OT:

I realized tonight in VR that I could rotate objects by turning the dualshock 4 about in my hands.

Put a grin on my face. This game reminds me of the original Resident Evil on some sort of magic steroid.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Sucks ass that it's platform exclusive. I hope someone breaks it open on PC.

 

[ChouGoku]

Non VR mode has more weight to the controls. To me VR seems like it has tighter controls and there isn't as much momentum in every one of his movement. Especially aiming which is done with headtracking

 

[FingerBang]

Oh yea completely, it needs to have additional control functionality which is why I don't like the move being the controller. Need to have an analog or track pad like the Vive or Oculus controllers have.

Absolutely. Camera and move are by far the weakest part of the experience. Not as bad as some people say, but not comparable to what the competition is offering. Hope they'll do something about it before the PSVR2.

How did they manage to get rid of all the locomotion sickness? I thought everyone was calling it unplayable during the demo?

That's a great question. It's the first game I can go on for hours without feeling sick, at all.
Probably a mix of high/stable framerate and a good knowledge of what causes motion sickness in general (the screen gets dark at the edge every time you move your head around/run, you can choose to turn left and right by 30/45/90 degrees instead of smooth movements and so on).

Resident Evil 7 made me finally think it was worth buying a PSVR.

 

[AstroNut325]

Dino Crisis VR. Go on, think about it.

That's what will get me to buy PSVR!

 

[GAFmeansLIFE]

Yeah that's it. You just use your knife.

 

[zoukka]

How did they manage to get rid of all the locomotion sickness? I thought everyone was calling it unplayable during the demo?

What, no. The demo was already great in comfort level and the full game is even better. It's a combination of many things like the instant rotation option, FOV limiter, "blackouts" when your character moves quickly in cut-scenes and so on.

 

[Freeman76]

Its so great to see a game with such a positive community, I have hardly read a bad word about this, which, especially for GAF, is unheard of. Perhaps its because its mainly hardcore fans or older gamers with the finances to buy a VR, and not every idiot with a PS4 who are playing it,but I like to think its because the experience just amazes anyone who plays it.

 

[Miracle]

That's awesome to hear!

Hopefully this game becomes the catalyst to more great VR games.

Spoiler

especially ones that don't make me shit my pants.

I'd love to see games like Detroit: Too Human adopt PSVR.

VR just seems amazing for story-driven games where you have to explore and investigate stuff.

 

[Vinter]

Lets hope this leads to more great horror in VR. Personally I much preferred the better IQ of non-vr version but I am really interested in the VR as a whole, so anything pushes that industry forward is great.

 

[Possumowner]

Awesome,Gotta say it's the only game in VR that has made me squeal with delight and terror at the same time

 

[oti]

Sony and Capcom in the foreground of VR.
Who would've thought that? That's great!

 

[Lancelot]

I'll receive my VR gear today and already have RE7, so one more to the statistics.

 

[Castef]

Ironically, the PSVR exclusivity is hurting the very same media RE7 could help pushing. Quite ridicolous.

 

[Lucent]

They did an amazing job with it. I just hope psvr wasn't brought out to be launched and forgot about like their handhelds. I love horror games and VR really enhances the immersion.

 

[dark10x]

One thing I've noticed with RE7 is the bad sense of scale in VR. Everything looks tiny. Human characters are much smaller than what they should be an you feel like a giant within the environment. It's subtle at times but everything feels just a bit odd. I've encountered this in other VR experiences and it's not easy to get right, it seems.

 

[Noisepurge]

Fuck yeah! Bought the season pass to show more support. Truly a fun game in VR. Finished it twice now.

 

[Illucio]

Damm this makes me happy. I still haven't got a chance to pick up the game yet to play on my PSVR. Super excited.

 

[pswii60]

I'll jump in on PSVR whenever they upgrade it so the camera is no longer required, and they make it fully wireless and rechargeable. So next gen maybe.

But this is good news as it indicates there could be a next gen at all.

 

[opricnik]

Put support for PC too , no reason to be exclusive

 

[crimilde]

I'll contribute to that number too! Gifted a copy to a friend this month for his birthday and I'll start my playthrough this weekend too. Gaf convinced me to try it in VR.

 

[zoukka]

Probably money changed hands so yes there's a reason.

 

[Wollan]

I'm suspecting Resident Evil 7 will be brought out again and again in updated form every time the VR industry makes a technical leap.

Isn't a camera required in order to determine depth?

Maybe it's because I played through Batman Arkham Origins right before RE7, but everything looked right to me lol.

 

[Lapidus' Beard]

They did a great job with it! I would love to see more VR games from them, big or small.

This was a problem in Kitchen but not in the final game: try change the interpupillar distance and remember that the protagonist my be taller or shorter than you

 

[Ellite25]

RE7 showed me what VR can really be. I haven't finished yet but from what I've played so far it's an amazing experience. Hoping more devs with staff making their games playable in VR if it fits.

 

[Planet]

One thing I've noticed with RE7 is the bad sense of scale in VR.

Yes, but they improved it a bit from the kitchen demo - it felt weird and removed much of the scaryness for me to interact with an underfed hobbit. But it isn't consistantly bad, e.g. the Bakers seem to be alright while especially Mia is way too tiny.

And other stuff is off, too, like shoving the phone receiver directly into your skull even when perfectly calibrated, you have to lean far away or plain ignore it not to get irritated. And if anything I feel smaller than in real life, can't look into boxes higher in shelves etc., but that may be because I am playing seated, also I am 1.95m in real life and I figure Ethan isn't.

 

[Bad_Boy]

Dino Crisis VR. Go on, think about it.

I hope capcom reads this post.

 

[ffvorax]

Loved much more the Demo in VR, so happy this is considered a success!

I think ive noticed that spatial tracking is scaled back with RE7, meaning its not 1:1, but like 1:2, where your head movements only move half as far in game compared to real life, but rotational gyro tracking is 1:1. I actually think its a sort of smart move. But I could see how that might mess with perception of scale. Or could be other things, or maybe you postion wasnt recentered.

Anyways I didnt have much issue with scale personally, seems right to me

 

[Obliterator]

Man as someone who has used PSVR only 2x, and that was back before it was even out officially, I'm so nervous that when I pick one up and play something like this it will make me sick.

Its like I want to experience RE7 in VR so badly but am just worried I won't be able to truly experience it. Would be a damn shame

 

[Ravage]

Fantastic news! Hope this paves the way for more full fledged PSVR titles.

 

[Alienous]

I don't think anyone is saying it's the only good game for PSVR, just it's currently the greatest game for PSVR.

I'll give it most complete. I'll even give it best game playable in PSVR. But 'greatest game for PSVR', when it passively uses VR functionality, seems like too much of an accolade. It's a good game with PSVR support, but there are better representatives of PSVR on the platform.

 

[Alienfan]

This might be the first AAA VR game that isn't an experience or extremely short - if VR does become a success, RE7 will most likely been remembered as the game that paved the way.

 

[d9b]

Killer App, congrats to Capcom and Sony.

 

[Sidewinder]

Fantastic news! Hope this paves the way for more full fledged PSVR titles.

Yes please!

If Bamco could reconsider their PSVR support for Ace Combat 7 and make it fully playable it'd be a very good start!

 

[bennibop]

Not really as it is building the hype for the game and is currently on the largest VR user base,

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

I completed it in VR and never signed up to RE.NET, Neither did my bro so i'd assume the number is actually higher!

Great experience in VR, Best gaming fun i have had for many a year.

Same here..i always skip that prompt,

 

[Castef]

It would have had the very same hype on Oculus and Vive and could have contributed to push those platforms too.

 

[Breakfast at Noon]

This reminds me, What is happening with Visage?
