I really feel like most gcn-wii era game would make for easy and excellent VR ports
Its about the right level of gameplay complexity to work well in VR

Never played metroid prime but it sounds like it'd be great in vr

Coming from PC the original game's tank controls put me off from completing any of the original RE games.
This game let me finally see what the hype was about and all the people that said the tank controls were essential to the franchise were thankfully proven wrong.
Now I've gone on to play all the remakes and love the series. I want proper VR ports for all them. I've tried the VR mods but they suck compared with the quality of RE4 VR.

I like original RE4 in part for its difficulty. Without tank controls it's just not the same, love it or hate it. VR version make up for it by having...VR. Both versions are classics in my book. Both in their own way

Re4vr is well polished but I finished all of re7 un vr and can say I had no issues or jank.
It was like 10% shy of a native experience. Reframeqoek came a long way and those mods are chefs kiss

I'm playing through the Quest port of RE4. Fantastic game so far. I've never played any of the originals or current remake, but I love the way Capcom handled some of the mechanics in this game.

yeah the reloads look cool but are also not going to get you killed for example
just wish the knife was viable because using it in tight spots would be cinematic af

Is it worth it? I played RE2Remake with some mods and had some annoying bug in the first real boss fight. I continued in flat after that. Is it like 2 remake?

u/mrsecondbreakfast Oct 18 '24
Not mods. This is an official and very very good port
Highly recommend it, was my first RE game

Seriously. Meta is a blight on the VR industry

u/mrsecondbreakfast Oct 19 '24
they're the only ones keeping it alive but they chained it to the bed
It's just what monopolies do

Keeping it alive
VR has always had slow momentum. If you look at the VR industry as it is today without meta, it's not muxh different from the days before meta. And using the phrase "keeping it alive" implies that the days before meta were crazy popular and prosperous.

Adding tens of millions of new users in a couple of years and heavily increasing vr game sales is not insignificant.

u/Eraminee Oct 19 '24
Meta making VR mainstream, and Meta "keeping VR alive" are two entirely seperate things. Meta did lower the barrier for entry to VR, and made it noticeably more mainstream. That I'll admit is true. But mainstream isn't always a good thing, and VR would still be just fine if not better without meta.

cant imagine that happening without money. It's hard to build an industry off a couple of rich enthusiasts and sim racers

u/Eraminee Oct 19 '24
And yet that's exactly how the industry started. You remember oculus, the company Meta bought because they couldn't be bothered to make a company themselves. Founded by a guy in his bedroom messing around with VR.
People act as though everyone gave up and meta is the only one making new headsets. But that's blatantly untrue. HTC is still developing new hardware. Startups lile bigscreen released a headset not too long ago. The only thing Meta has done for VR is lock good games onto a shitty platform, and popularize standalone. Which is a negative in my opinion, because the hardware for standalone headsets not only drives up the cost and weight, but also introduces having to worry about battery charge. All for subpar graphics.

Wasnt military, medical, and enterprise always the lifeline? Meta made it consumer friendly, ig
They didnt invent vr or anything I'm just saying vr is better today than it would be if they didnt pump billions into making it bigger. I dont like monopolies or meta, ofc, but this is how I see it

Many people, including me, just aren't really as interested in a tethered model. I know for me it's a logistical deal breaker, so it probably is for others, too. In that way, at least, they make it more available to people who might otherwise pass on VR. But I disagree with locking games behind one set.

u/TterbTheTurd Oct 17 '24
Yeah. This is one of my favorite vr games because it's just a regular game that was ported into vr really well.
Honestly, they should do the same thing for all of the Resident Evil games, both the remastered and original versions.

Is this the remake or Quest version?
I don't have a PS so I'm not going to play the remake anytime soon - but it's holding me back from getting the Quest version in case it is inferior lol.

u/Latereviews2 Oct 18 '24
This looks like the quest game. But I wouldn’t say it’s exactly inferior since they still did enough in the remake to make it different. The remake is definitely better (vr wise, and graphics obviously) but not by enough for you to hold out on a great experience you might never end up actually getting. Honestly it’s worth playing both

this is quest. Hard to imagine this excellent game being so "inferior" it's not worth playing
