This could be quite interesting. I've never got on with Resident Evil and a lot of that is to do with the controls. Even in RE4 which was supposed to new more action-oriented it felt rubbish and I only lasted half an hour. Having more real world movements might help.

RE4 is the only game in the franchise I have really enjoyed. Unless this turns out to be shockingly bad i will be picking this one up.

Still incredibly disappointed that it's a Quest 2 exclusive. Hopefully it will eventually come to the Oculus PC platform so I can play through link/Virtual Desktop in the future, but it's straight up Facebook bullshit that it's not going to be available on the original Quest.

Not if the origional hardware can't run it competently though. Thats like me complaining that i Half Life Alyx isn't on Quest 2 when it is on PC.

The leap from quest 1 to 2 is hardly comparable. Its much more likely that Facebook are just trying to push quest 1 users into upgrading.

But there must a point where the significantly improved chip set can run games that the previous one (that was far from cutting edge) could not.

Its like complaining that you cant run Alyx on a <insert a processor / gpu that is one spec lower than the minimum requirements stated on PC>. Unless thats not a thing - i know nothing about PC's. Its a miracle that I can post this tbh.

I dont think Resi 4 is the game that they would hold its userbase to ransom over. More likely VR Chat / Rec Room or some social shite like that.

I did actually manage to run Alyx on a CPU well below minimum spec. :lol:

Definitely wouldn't have complained about that if it didn't work, though, and Valve weren't insisting you run it only on an Index headset, either.

I get what you're saying, but this was originally a PS2/GC title, the Quest could handle a port of it. Even if the end product they've made here couldn't run on the original Quest, it'll be because they've made the decision to have this be one of the first Quest 2 exclusives, to move away from developing software that works on all Quest devices, and worked to that spec.

The fact it's Quest 2 exclusive, and not also on Quest PC for Rift headsets is what convinces me that it's a choice about pushing the platform rather than it being a capability thing as well. There's no reason they couldn't also sell this to PC based users, but they're choosing to make it exclusive to the one headset type.

It's not yet known what the games will be, but they'll be available at no extra charge in November.

Lovely gesture... albeit I kinda suspect that the titles will probably be ones that most PSVR owners already have. It'd be great if players were able to choose a game(s) from a range instead.

Has anyone tried the new Billie Eilish pack for Beat Saber? Is it good? The Skrillex one was a banger, but the Billie Eilish songs sound slower so I'm worried they'll be too easy

Looks like Valve could be working on a standalone headset called Deckard.

Can't wait to discover it's actually just their equivalent of Google Cardboard, and lets you strap a Steam Deck to your face.

Anyone picking up Resi 4 VR today?

I’m very tempted, but I know I will get a 30% code any day now.

I'm debating, more so because I have a 30% off code that expires on the 25th :shifty:

I mean, it’s Resi 4. In VR.

I'm pretty desperate to get it as it looks fantastic and seems to be reviewing very well.

Is there any way I can get hold of one of these 30% off codes?

They're usually time limited. The code is just OCULUS30 but only works when they're running the promo.

Looking back through my emails, they've run the promo in January, May, July and September of this year so far. Maybe they'll run it again between now and Christmas?

Sounds promising, cheers. It's not like I can play for a while anyway so I'll wait it out for now.
