Oculus’s recap video up there gives the short version, but you can catch a bit more in theirfull look in the showcase. Oculus also say that Resi4 VR will support movement with the analog sticks on the Touch controllers, teleportation, and room-scale movement too. Audio is getting an upgrade as well, with 3D spacial sounds and enemy sounds that actually indicate which direction you’re being attacked from.
If you noticed that the visuals looked a little fresher, Oculus have also explained that the developers at Armature have dusted off some of the old Resi files.
Questionable quality textures were one of the few things to critique in RPS’sResident Evil 4 HD reviewfrom years back, so a spit shine on the pixels seems like a plus.
Oculus didn’t announce a specific launch date for Resident Evil 4 VR but they do mention that it’s coming later this year.
You can catch some of Oculus’s other announcements from the showcase in theirrecap post.
