"Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" with PlayStation VR
It took four years before Capcom heeded the clamor of fans for "Resident Evil" to return to its survival-horror roots, and it has. However, Gamerant reported that "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" will be sort of a departure from the series norm. The report stated that the game would be played entirely from a first-person perspective.
Playing "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" on a first-person perspective opens the game up for virtual reality. Though the game can still be playable without PlayStation VR, it would be up to the player to play through the game in virtual reality for a more immersive experience.
"Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" crowd reaction in VR
During E3 last year, "Resident Evil: Biohazard" was one of the VR centerpieces that those who has tried the game demo got a real shocker, according to Cinemablend. Accordingly, what made the game so terrifying is its first-person perspective that is obvious from the crowd reactions that the VR has done its job well.
Furthermore, shifting the perspective eliminates the displacement one gets playing the game from a third-person perspective; rather, it makes the player become part of the action. Potentially, the E3 experiment proves how powerful an atmospheric horror game can truly be when played in a well-executed VR environment.
"Resident Evil: Biohazard" is coming for the PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation VR, and the Xbox One on Jan 24, 2017.
