As promised, Oculus had new details to share about the upcoming VR remaster of Resident Evil 4. When it releases on Oculus Quest 2 later this year, you will be able to replay the GameCube classic in first person. That means many of the gameplay systems have been tweaked to make them more suitable for VR. For example, you can move Leon by pushing the analog stick on the Quest 2’s Touch controllers forward or by taking advantage of the teleportation and room scaling features that developer Armature has added to the game. Weapons and items are physical objects in the game world that you can pick up. That means if you want to switch to your gun, you can grab it from Leon’s holster instead of jumping into the menu.
Outside of the gameplay tweaks, Armature tried to keep the experience similar to the one Resident Evil fans know and love. You’ll see movies in their original format, and the studio says it has faithfully reproduced animations and textures in Unreal Engine 4. Oculus and Armature promised to share more details about the remaster soon.
