Resident Evil 4: VR announced for Oculus Quest 2

[Fall Damage]

It's not the cost or even the FB account (wife said I could use hers) keeping me away from Quest 2 but I just can't bring myself to use a mobile platform when I'm so invested in PCVR already. It's a bad feeling with the two biggest VR players, Sony and Facebook, not bringing their games to PC.

Good news for Q2 owners though, this should be terrifying.

Huh? Quest 2 streams PC games. Virtual Desktop or in about a week its built into the unit.

With Sony bringing some games to PC, I really hope they're considering putting their VR games on the platform as well. It would definitely be more work considering the difference in tracking systems but I feel like for Astro and Blood and Truth it would pay off.

Q2 hardware can be used for PC gaming but I was referring to the software Oculus will be putting out going forward which will be exclusive to the Quest line (no PCVR).

That would be amazing but I'm keeping my expectations low.

 

[Rex Dart: Eskimo Spy]

My Q2 is ready, I'll be buying the shit out of this.

 

[HiLife]

WTF

 

[Cats_Schrodinger]

Quest 2 has outsold all of them combined, and it's easier to develop only for one platform.

Click to shrink...

You also don't need a gaming PC. It's quite obvious that VR money is on the Quest and maybe on PSVR2.

With OpenXR things are going to get a lot better from a development standpoint, but of course if someone bankrolls the game to get exclusivity it's a no go.

 

[Green]

I have a Quest 2... but I would honestly rather stream it from my PC to it if given the option. I will reserve judgement until I try it.

Still pretty dang cool, though. Hype. Never played this game before.

 

[Mindfreak191]

AC & SC?

Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell

The wariness surrounding the FB requirement is overblown tbh, admittedly I was nervous with my old Fb account that hadn't been used with any frequency for a long while yet I've been using my Quest 2 since launch without issue. It was more unfortunate release timing with the 2020 US election that was overzealous with locking accounts but those reports have since dried up in the past few months. I mostly use my Quest 2 for pcvr streaming anyhow. The benefit of not buying many native Quest titles is coupons sent to your account associated e-mail. Win-win!

Click to shrink...

As said, I absolutely do not want to reactivate my FB account, I would've deleted it if it wasn't required for the messenger app which is the only way for my family and friends back home to contact me (and it can be used with a deactivated account). Again, if they were to remove that requirement or even allow to use a quest with a deactivated account, I would've bought a long time ago, with how things currently are I'm just gonna keep using my Vive.

 

[Buddy]

I love re4. It is one of the best games every made.

I don't have a quest vr....but i really want to play this :(

I do have a ps vr headset though... would love a version for that

 

[Jarmel]

Fuck Oculus.

 

[Miamiwesker]

Sad this thread is hijacked by Facebook being straight assholes to their own customers. Where are the gaming journalists drilling Oculus on how they can disregard their customers. Disguisting.

Now about RE4 VR, HOLY SHIIIIIT!!!! I thought this would be some RE4 simple port with a new view point of view but this is a full VR upgrade of the game! Full first person, full physics, new puzzles, crazy!!! Can you imagine Verdugo in VR? Can you imagine the sewers with Nosvistadors? The hedge maze! An actual knife fight with with Krauser!!!

If this is RE4 in all it's glory this can beTHE GREATEST VR GAME EVER.

 

[YourFriendLevi]

This is how I'm going to play RE4 for the first time

Its time to accept that standalone VR (Oculus Quest) is where the money is. Many VR developers/publishers are citing huge sales and other successful stories on Quest over PSVR and PCVR.

 

[DeckardWintermute]

I just hope someone makes a mod so you can play this without VR.

Spoiler

This is a joke, I'm not being serious.

 

[Infcabbage]

I wish it was coming to PSVR, but this definitely influences my desire to get a Quest 2 even more...

 

[RowdyReverb]

Kinda bummed how quickly support for the Oculus Quest was dropped. Wish I had just waited for Quest 2 in hindsight.

When I saw the rumor I knew it would be quest exclusive but really wanted to be wrong. *cries into my rift*

Luckily, if you are making a standalone VR game, there is no good reason to not put it out on PCVR as well. Unless you are Facebook.

You can sell even more the more people you give access to your game.

 

[Xandalan]

Sold my soul to the Facebook devil and it looks like it is paying off!

 

[--R]

Confirmed to be Quest 2 exclusive.

 

[Zafir]

Between the impending mandatory facebook requirement and the fact they've seemingly straight up deserted the Rift S(which I own), my decision to get the fuck out of the Oculus ecosystem and go elsewhere is pretty cemented.

 

[Komo]

:) thanks capcom.

 

[BrickArts295]

All of the sudden, I think I'm ready for an RE4 Remake. I love that game but unless you are rocking Albert's badass mod, another straight port in a new gen is not gonna cut it for me anymore...eh maybe.

I dropped my RIFT S and went straight to index. Just recently uninstalled the Oculus software.

Oh man... Oven Man in VR

 

[Something Creative]

RE4 is one of my favourite games all time. Have played it on three platforms. And I happen to own a Quest 2

I would have preferred PCVR, but I guess maybe this wouldn't have existed without Oculus?

I'm not actually excited yet because I feel like this may not work.... I dunno, can't really articulate why.

I am not going to defend that. Oculus weren't going to fork out additional money beyond the Quest version, since they probably feel the ROI for the Rift isn't worth it. The responsibility however, also lies with Capcom on whether they want to fund for the PCVR version themselves.

Safe to assume that. This port is co-developed with Armature Studio, a close partnering studio with Oculus who have published Fail Factory! and Sport Scramble for Oculus headsets exclusively.

In 18 months a lot of Quest 2 owners are going to be griping about how they've been left in the cold for the Quest 3 and whatever new exclusive was arbitrarily locked behind it.

 

[Canas Renvall]

Hope is coming on PSVR2

BTW, it's Capcom... Exclusivity doesn't exist.

Click to shrink...

RE7 VR is still only on PlayStation because they don't want to fund a PC version themselves.

And this is bankrolled by Oculus themselves. It's exclusive.

So this was my tipping point. Half Life Alyx, then Phasmophobia, and now RE4 VR, I caved and bought a Quest 2 with the link cable. Should be here Sunday!

 

[GDGF]

Guess I need to buy that Quest 2.

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

I'm gonna have to hurry and buy a Quest 2. I can see myself hesitating until they're out of stock and then being annoyed at myself.

 

[MrMattamus]

I feel like the remake will probably hit PCVR/PSVR2

I thought the same about RE7 and PCVR....

Yep. It's the Facebook/Oculus way. I say this as a Rift CV1 owner

They aren't in it to further VR. They aren't anyone's friend. They're a business first and foremost. Shits infuriating but nothing can be done as consumers.

 

[Zutrax]

So I did a skim of the thread and didn't see any answers for it (I'm sure there are and I'm just blind), so am I seriously SOL if I own an Oculus Rift S, a device that is capable of every single function the Quest 2 is, on the same exact storefront, just with more power from my PC? That's... really aggravating.

I feel kinda ripped off as a Quest 1 owner... damn.

I can hold out for the Quest 3.

Probably true. At least the price is coming down. It makes the standalone headset feel wasteful in a way though since the display and optics are still perfectly good

 

[TAJ]

Does Quest require a FB acct?

Click to shrink...

There's no way around it, but it can be blank and invisible in Facebook and web search.
I think only your name, DOB and address are required. I don't even have a profile pic.
I signed up at Quest 2 launch and they still haven't figured out who any of my relatives are.

 

[HMD]

Confirmed to be Quest 2 exclusive.

Rift S is literally 2 years old and they're already dropping support for it.

 

[JohnnyUtah]

As a rift s owner this pisses me off. I want to play these quest 2 exclusives like this and the climb 2 but can't. I get that they might passover the quest 1 due to hardware limitations, but this can run on the rift s, why cut us out, we bought into your hardware and now we're locked out arbitrarily 😢

Yup, you are. Oculus are only interested in selling Quest 2 now.

 

[copelandmaster]

Would've been nice to see more gameplay. This trailer leaves me with a "huh???" first impression. From the pacing, the minor lighting/visual changes (???), and the passive behavoir of the enemies, it looks like a new game that uses RE4 assets rather than a VR conversion of the existing game. Maybe I'm too used to seeing RE4 HD Project footage, maybe this is just early test footage they threw together under a deadline.
