Resident Evil showcase announces second Village demo, Resident Evil 4 VR



In honor of Resident Evil's 25th anniversary, and with Resident Evil Village on the horizon, Capcom premiered a Resident Evil showcase today that offered a breadth of information on the upcoming game, as well as on some of their other projects related to the franchise. The showcase began with a new trailer for the eighth game in the franchise, and an announcement about the second Village demo; Resident Evil Village will offer a 60 minute demo available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Steam, and Stadia. The demo will take players through the titular village as well as the castle level, and will only be available for twenty four hours depending on your location; North America from May 1st to 2nd, and Europe and Asia from May 2nd to 3rd. PlayStation 4 and 5 players will receive early access to the demo later this month, and can pre-load the demo starting today.

The showcase also revealed that "The Mercenaries" game mode first introduced in Resident Evil 4 will be returning to Village, premiered a new trailer for the Netflix series Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, and teased an upcoming crossover event with fellow horror game Dead By Daylight. The final announcement was the official confirmation of Resident Evil 4 VR, a VR remake of the beloved survival horror game exclusive to the Oculus Quest 2. Little information is known about this latest remake right now, but it's an official confirmation after rumors of a VR remake for Resident Evil 4 leaked last year. More Resident Evil 4 VR information is scheduled to be announced during an Oculus gaming showcase on April 21st.

Resident Evil Village will be released on May 7th, 2021.

There's no such thing as an Oculus exclusive as long as you're using ReVive.
It's an exclusive if it's only for the Quest platform. You can't play those games on pc using revive. That being said though, there's no doubt in my mind that it'll end up on pc eventually anyways.

Is IT? that was my Question i thought it would be PSVR Only >>>>?<<<<< Like RESI Evil 7 was >>>>>>>
I'm so glad this isn't another Re7vr situation. I played through it through psvr at launch and enjoyed it but the psvr platform and it essentially just being an fps game forced into vr really held it back alot. I hated that they never released the vr mode on pc. The fact that it's on the quest platform just gives me so much faith that'll be much better than re7vr. I honestly thought when I read the title that it was gonna be another psvr exclusive and my hopes were let down till I read the article.

Have any specific examples? I'm pretty sure the files are obtainable, by now somebody must have figured out a workaround for banned Facebook accounts.
Well all I know is that the quest runs on android and the games require the quest's hardware to run. I think the only way to play quest games on a pc would be through some type of android emulator and I don't think it's possible yet. I don't really know any specifics though.

So... the Capcom Giga Leak is real ?

Can't wait for the new MegaMan, Street Fighter 6 and Monster Hunter 6.

Gotta say, I'm glad to hear that it sounds like Carlos is coming back in RE8. As in, R3make Carlos and not cringeworthy "ThE lAdIeS rEaLlY lOvE mY aCcEnT, yOu KnOw!?" from the original.

IDK about SF6 if it ran into problems so badly that Ono was given Vince McMahon's favorite quote of "YOU'RE FIRED!"

The "exclusivity" doesn't bother me since there are means of bypassing that.

If it's exclusive to the Quest then no there won't be I'm afraid. We can use Revive to play games from Oculus' PC store, but not Quest games. Given it's Android based hopefully there will be emulators in the future but who knows how long it will be before they even start to show up.

I don't know why Capcom seems to hate PC players so much. Hopefully we'll eventually see a port of both 7 and 4 in the not too distant future.

Wonder why ppl watch old resident evil games on the switch, while in a fan of the franchise, since I played them before I won't play them again on the switch and if I wanna play them I'll do so in PC.

Well usually the switch is the only one they have that’s capable of it

Oh yeah and I know from firsthand experience that Quest games are just .apk files like any other android app. It's super easy to sideload quest games and other android apk files on to the device. Like I said, the problem is being able to actually run quest apps on a pc. I'm sure it's possible
Crapcom can always find a way to re-re-release RE4;
Todd Howard: finally a worth opponent!
Meh. I'll take a vr port of any game over another re-release. I've replayed games in vr that weren't originally made for vr and they always feel like new experiences to me. That's just me though

Disappointed that there is still no news on Resident Evil 3 Outrage that is heavily rumoured to be coming exclusively to the Switch
You mean resident evil revelations 3 rumored to be a timed switch exclusive.

I think if the title is true, which could be, if it is using the re engine then its not likely, only resident evil games that came to the switch are ports off the past consoles.

No new re title since then using re engine has come to the switch.

Maybe wait for nintendo to decide if it opts in for nvidias new chip to make the rumor of 4k true or do they find an alternative supplier to offer same or subpar chips.

Anyways.

Id be interested in re4 on psvr, but then again, how many times does this game need re releasing, yes vr sounds good, but would be better if it was a more recent title like 6, or even change re hd and 0 as you never got to experience them in a full 3d environment, rail gun wii didnt count as it did all the moving and it wasnt the same game, more of a house of the dead game.

Id like to see how the timed events work in vr like the boulder dash, hard when you could see the buttons nevermind having a brick over your eyes.

House of the dead remake looks decent but not sure how the switch will do the arcade light gun control..... especially on switch lite consoles.
