Looks great. A big time exclusive over the quest.

Really liking what I've seen of psvr2 so far. I want one, but I'm too lazy to move my coffee table out of the way to use it.

Manual reloading looks good. One of my favourite aspects of Half Life 2 & W40K Battle Sister with PCVR (Battle Sister even lets you manually pull the empty mag too)

It’s absolutely amazing. I get a bit motion sick when running around escaping but otherwise it’s pretty fine. Graphics are amazing and somehow the people/creatures in the game seem totally real, like you could meet them in real life and not be surprised by it.

It only starts crying once you empty it for an awesome package, and then you just go shut up to it. Let it cry!
My wallet is crying too. Wanted to get a psvr2 by the end of the year. Is somewhat true i will get it by the end but instead of the year by the end of this month

Great experience in VR, definitely am glad I picked it up, and very much looking forward to finishing it and seeing RE4 VR as well. There's some room for improvement for RE4 though, so I hope they fix the object interaction to be more consistent, but all in all it is quite fun and scary at times!

I have to move my couch out the way. C'mon, you can do it.

The game definitely tries to cater equally to both your hands alright.

The scope seems to come off tool-free. I think the cable can be reomved without a screwdriver too iirc. So they are probabaly coming as long as there's enough demand.

Yup, same here. I played a bit of the demo when it first dropped and found it hard to go back after RE7 VR. The first person was better suited for VR imo.
I do hope that Capcom will design a VR-exclusive RE title at some point. Something with more granular detail and interactivity, as well as complete freedom of view.

No matter what I did, the damn thing kept slowly creeping up the back off my head and down my resting on my nose.
And the sweet spot of lenses is so extremely small (smallest of any headset I've used), that I constantly have to readjust it, making it very uncomfortable.
I've tried keeping it high, low, very tight, with a cap on.... The halo strap is just shit. I hate this design. The one in Rift S was also bad but better than this sadly. I still much prefer simple "slap on face" skiing googles design.
That said, re8 vr demo was FANTASTIC. looked good and the game world detail really comes through. The arms are a bad choice though

Well let me tell you my wife thinks it's ver entertaining to watch me squirm in re7. There was a part where I almost jummped backwards over the couch. She was absolutely dyying and I wouldn't pick it back up for a month, telling her that she should have a turn. Nope! Called my bluff. She actually came home with a copy of re8 right before vr2 launch. "Guess whaaaaatt?"

Yup, extremely good game in VR. Held off playing it until now. Why did nobody warn me that you get chased around the castle? I have to keep reminding myself that it obviously isn’t real, but I fucking turn around and see a huge ass woman walking after me with scary fucking claws. It’s a funny feeling that!

Very impressive. Can't imagine how good PSVR2 games will look a couple of years from now.

Insanely jealous of anyone who waited to play this game for the first time in VR.

It's almost comical how much DF is avoiding doing a Hogwarts Legacy PC review lol. Oh well at least RE8 and RE2R look great.

This was on sale just before VR2 released and I purposely avoided it and told myself I’ll buy it when it’s on sale again.
Well, it’s on sale again for €20, so I bought it. Kinda too scared to play it though. I didn’t even finish the demo, too scared.

You know, I thought that I was less scared of things since I got older. But re7 made me realize that when I got older I stopped sneaking into abandoned buildings at night and stuff lol. I didn't get braver, just less stupid.

I've already made a few posts gushing about RE8VR, so all I'm going to say this time is that RE8 in VR is an absolute must-play if you consider yourself a Resi fan.

Easily my game of the system so far, had it sitting in my backlog for months waiting for PSVR2 and ho boy was it worth holding off, it's an absolute visual masterpiece and utterly stress inducing, tried playing with the realistic reloading but fuk dat I'm too much of a pussy for that realism shit, can barely get a clean shot off in between the screams and panic let alone reload.
It's great to get some time in-between puzzles or unlocking the next section to just go explore and take in the level without the stress of wandering what's gonna jump out at you and from checking out the 2D version I ain't seeing much of a difference in the graphics which is testament to the power of this thing and Sony's design decisions which bodes well for future releases.
Can't wait to see what else Capcom are gonna release in VR

I got over it fine, started nauseous as well - use tunneling and step turning for a day or two, then tunneling and analog movement for a day or two, then no motion handicap options.

Yep, those Lycans are pretty horrifying, especially in VR. You get a real good sense of how big they are. Although that's nothing compared to Lady chasing you around the castle. Noped right the fuck back the Duke to cry!

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
So awesome to see more high caliber games like this in VR, here's hoping they become more common than previously (but indies are cool too, you lot have been missing out). 60fps is kind of weird though, you'd think they can push for 90 between optimizations and dynamic foveated rendering.
But why pretend they can mainly only compare to PSVR just to spew adverhype? Really, you couldn't fathom how an action adventure/fps like this could possibly work well in VR and weren't sure how the gameplay could translate well, like it hasn't been done, not only in general with plenty other games but also RE itself with RE4 VR (not to mention the VR mods of RE2, 3, 7 & 8 which while obviously being far more janky also showed the games could very naturally be adapted paving the way for Capcom to do it properly what with having access to the source and everything)? Come on...
