As part of the update, all platforms will now be able to play Classic Score Attack, Zone Marathon, Purify Mode, and Master Mode. The update has a trailer, explaining the new game modes.

Essentially, Classic Score Attack is a single-player version of the Score Attack mode. Available in Effect Modes, it also allows players to switch between NTSC and PAL game speeds. Zone Marathon is a version of the Marathon Mode with the Zone mechanic. Both Master and Purify modes are now able to be played as endless games.

Tetris Effect: Connected was originally released back in November 2020 as an expanded re-release of 2018’s Tetris Effect. Originally launched on Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One, the game eventually made its way on to Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, and Oculus Quest as well. For more details, check out our review of its original release.

Jason Rubin, who is the current VP of Play at Facebook, announced on his official Twitter that Resident Evil 4 VR is now the fastest-selling app in the history of the Meta Quest, formerly known as the Oculus Quest. That’s especially impressive when you consider that the game was an exclusive to Quest 2 and unavailable for the original headset.

Resident Evil 4 VR is available now for the Meta Quest 2. The game will also get its version of the Mercenaries mode sometime in 2022.

We knew Resident Evil 4 would bring a different kind of thrill in VR, both for diehard fans of the franchise and those new to the game and VR. I'm excited to share that RE4 is officially the fastest-selling app in the history of Quest.

The video has since been pulled but Biohazard Declassified managed to snag it. Interestingly, it also seems that the VR headset is being renamed to Meta Quest 2 to reflect Facebook’s recent name change. Much like in other titles, The Mercenaries involves revisiting levels and taking down as many enemies as possible to rack up a high score.

The mode was also recently included in Resident Evil Village though without multiplayer support (and it’s unknown whether Resident Evil 4 VR will include the same). In the meantime, stay tuned for an official trailer and more details on the mode.

As announced today at the Facebook Connect, a VR version of the game will come to the Oculus Quest 2, which is the latest wireless headset from the company (now being rebranded as Meta). Unfortunately, no details were given about when to expect it or no footage to give an idea of what that may look like.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a classic from that era reimagined for the Oculus Quest 2 as Facebook/Meta partnered with Capcom to release a VR re-release of Resident Evil 4, so it seems this could be a trend. We’ll keep you updated as more information comes out.

Visually, the improved textures make for a cleaner presentation but it’s the new perspective allows for some pretty big changes in the gameplay. Along with looking at enemies while running in a different direction, it also allows for more seamless aiming, especially up-close. Of course, actions like picking up ammo have to be done with one’s own hands which also adds to the tension.

For even more gameplay footage of Resident Evil 4 VR, head here. Facebook also confirmed recently that several changes have been made to dialogue and animations, mostly revolving around Ashley, to update the game for a modern audience. Learn more about that here.

These changes were made to reduce the sexualization of the character of Ashley, the president’s underage daughter. Multiple voice lines were removed as a result, while some scenes have also been edit to remove some questionable parts entirely.

Facebook said in its statement: “Oculus Studios, Armature, and Capcom partnered closely to remaster Resident Evil 4 from the ground up for VR. This includes immersive environments and high-resolution graphics. It also includes select changes to in-game dialogue and animations that we believe will update Resident Evil 4 for a modern audience.”

Resident Evil 4 certainly did have a problem in this and it’s certainly great that Facebook took the opportunity to address the criticism for modern sensibilities. Critical reception for the game seems to be positive right now, with most reviewers appreciative of the game’s conversion to the VR platform.

Now we know exactly when it will launch as well. Capcom has set an October launch date, and shown new gameplay footage in a trailer of the game. Meanwhile courtesy of IGN, we also have some interesting gameplay details, specifically when it comes to the changes made for VR- such as fully interactible VR environments, reaching for your belt to pull out a gun, reaching for your shoulder to pull out healing items, and more. Get a brief glimpse of its gameplay below.

Resident Evil 4 will launch for Oculus Quest 2 on October 21. Rumours have heavily suggested that a remake of RE4 is also in development. Read more on that through here.

After launching last year for the Oculus Quest, First Contact Entertainment’s Solaris Offworld Combat is coming to PlayStation VR. The first person shooter is out today for the platform and sees teams of four players competing in the Virtual Holofields for a chance at glory. Check out the launch trailer below to see it in action.

Solaris Offworld Combat isn’t your usual team deathmatch multiplayer shooter. It sees two teams competing to capture and hold a control point. However, the point moves every 30 seconds, which means you’ll need to think fast to capture it again. The team with the most points wins.

Along with utilizing the DualShock 4 controller, the title supports the PlayStation Aim controller, providing the sensation of recoil. Solaris Offworld Combat is available digitally for PlayStation VR today but PlayStation Plus subscribers can avail of a 50 percent discount for the first two weeks. Stay tuned for more details on updates and future content in the meantime.

While all eyes are glued on Resident Evil Village, the latest mainline entry in the survival horror series that will launch next month, we also recently got the announcement that we would be able to revisit another beloved part of the franchise with a VR version of Resident Evil 4. The game was announced as coming as exclusive to the Oculus Quest 2, and is looking to be more than just a simple port with more details shown today.

At the Oculus Gaming Showcase, we got a few more details about the game. Alongside gameplay footage, we got to see how this brings a new spin on the classic title that originally released way back in 2005. The first obvious difference is this version is in first person, but there is also changes to how the menu and weapon switching operates to be suited more to the VR medium. It also has some improved gameplay textures and various movement options. Check it out in full below.

Resident Evil 4 in VR will launch on the Oculus Quest 2 sometime later this year.

Resident Evil 4 is back but not quite in the way you’d imagine. During its second Resident Evil Showcase, Capcom was announced to be working with Oculus Studios and Armature to bring Resident Evil 4 to VR. The title will be playable on Oculus Quest 2, taking place from the first person perspective. Check out the trailer below courtesy of GameSpot.

More details and gameplay footage will be provided on April 21st at the Oculus Gaming Showcase. Resident Evil 4 originally launched for the Nintendo GameCube in 2005 before heading to PS2 in the same year. It would subsequently arrive on nearly every major platform throughout the years with the Nintendo Switch version being the latest.

Rumors have stated that a remake for Resident Evil 4 is currently in the works but it may be a while before it launches. It’s reportedly been overhauled and is now expected to release in 2023 with Capcom’s Division 1 spear-heading development. In the meantime, Resident Evil Village is out on May 7th for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, PC and Stadia with a new demo coming May 1st. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.
