One of the first big titles for the year has arrived, and its Capcom's reboot of the Resident Evil franchise -- Resident Evil 7. Out today, reviews have been mostly positive so far, pointing to the game's first-person perspective and return to classic survival horror scares as a plus. Resident Evil 7 is also fully playable from start to finish with PlayStation VR, in addition to the regular PS4, Xbox One, and PC versions.
If you want to watch it in 'gore-ious' 4k detail @ 60fps, check out Jackfrags 60 minutes game play video over here. Obviously, there be spoilers so don't look if you don't want any.
My eldest son has played a bit on a VR setup and he said it actually scared him so much he couldn't sleep afterwards, this is a guy who is 6'5" and has a lot of Samurai swords in his house!
I thought it looked OK, but the lip syncing lets it down quite a lot IMO...seems off abit and lessens the immersion AFAIC. But that might just be YouTube's compression crap ..
@ytime, if you have to ask, then probably no. It is pretty damn cool tech, but quality titles are kind of limited (personal favourite still being Until Dawn Rush of Blood, though RE7 being the first fully playable full length single player experience gets big points too, and it helps that the game seems pretty great so far). If you were into VR you'd already have it. So unless you can find a demo unit somehow I couldn't recommend it if you're umming and uhhing.
Right thanks for that. I've been watching VR tech from the sidelines, honestly I wasn't expecting a console peripheral to be more expensive than the console itself. Kinda wish blockbuster was around so I can hire the setup and try it out.

Apparently it also came with a free copy of the RE4 remake.
