As promised, Oculus had to offer new details about the future VR remaster Resident Evil 4. When it appears on Oculus Quest 2 later this year, you will be able to resume the classic GameCube in the first person. This means that many of the game systems have been modified to make them more suitable for VR. For example, you can move Leon by pushing the analog stick forward on the Quest 2’s touch controllers or taking advantage of the teleportation and room-scale features that the Armature developer has added to the game. Weapons and items will be physical objects in the game world that you will be able to pick up. This means that if you want to go and tell him your gun, you can grab him by Leon’s holster instead of jumping on the menu.
Apart from the game changes, Armature tried to keep the experience similar to the one that Resident Evil fans know and love. You’ll see the movies in their original format, and the studio says it faithfully recreated the animations and textures in Unreal Engine 4. Oculus and Armature have promised to share more details about the remaster soon.
