Resident Evil 4 VR players are sharing their best clips, and I think I need this game

Surviving the village sequence, a funny egg toss, a run-in with a Regenerator, and more RE4 VR clips

To a certain extent, I was perfectly fine living in the land of blissful ignorance with respect to Resident Evil 4 VR. But after hearing such great things about it — and seeing it in action with clips that really show off the heightened sense of player freedom — I’m starting to visualize a few hundred dollars vanishing from my bank account in the near future.

First up, the iconic village. This clip from captures the adrenaline-pumping scramble of being cornered by a group with a chainsaw in the mix, and it’s so stylish.

Basically, all of the wacky player antics that make Resident Evil 4 such a blast to replay year after year also translate sꦉuper well to VR (courtesy of developer ).

Classic tricks like the flash grenade still work, and it’s fun to see them from an up-close-and-personal perspective. I’m sure VR players will quickly figure out new tactics, too. (It’s a shame Mercenaries mode didn’t make the cut; think of that skill ceiling.)

Can I hold out for a non- version of Resident Evil 4 VR? I won’t be shocked if it’s a permanent exclusive, but I sure would be disappointed by that turn of events. Much like Half-Life: Alyx and even Resident Evil 7 before it, this game is too great to be confined anywhere — it deserves a spot in every virtual-reality ecosysteꦕm that can support it.
