VR Mode

Resident Evil 4 VR Mode supports the full main story campaign and delivers an added level of immersion to Leon S. Kennedy’s harrowing rescue mission. The experience lets players see the terrifying world directly through Leon’s eyes and soak in his surroundings with the 4K HDR display of PlayStation VR2. Resident Evil 4 VR Mode further enhances the atmosphere with 3D audio so players can hear the threats lurking around every corner.

In addition to grounding players in this hostile environment, Resident Evil 4 VR Mode heightens the realism with PlayStation VR2 Sense™ technology. The intuitive controls provide new ways to interact with the world. Weapons can be handled with natural motions, including unique gestures for reloading specific firearms, such as handguns, shotguns, and rifles. This also extends to the game’s enhanced knife action for those close encounters.

Resident Evil 4 VR Mode also features a Shooting Range mode that provides a training ground to help players hone their combat skills by testing out the aiming, firing, and reload mechanics for each weapon.

Free Demo

A free demo for Resident Evil 4 VR Mode is creeping to the PlayStation Store the same day. The Resident Evil 4 VR Mode Gameplay Demo provides a 360-degree look at the game’s opening and new features, including the Shooting Range, where players can experiment with weapons and get a feel for the realistic controls.

Can see VR being good for Resident evil 7. But 4 is a third person game in the design. how well does VR work here?

Yes I know. But the game is built as a third person game, it is the change to first person that I do not know if it serves the game design well.

The prior version had a VR mode in first person as well.

And it's not like adaptations can't be made. What are you trying to say here, that a game can't change, adapt, or update once it's released? what's your angle, my dude?

My angle is probably angles =)

I'm not familiar with game design but I figured there might be some things that makes the change from third to first person relevant, but do not know what, that's why I asked.
One thing that might make a difference is the angles you see the game world from. Some things that is easy to see with one perspective might be harder in the other perspective.

They added a 3rd person mode to RE8, and that seems to work fine. I don't recall RE4 having any particular mechanics not suited for 1st person?
The original game had the part where you run from a boulder and a statue while the camera is facing you, but I don't think the Remake has something like that.
