Sony launched PlayStation VR 2 (PSVR 2) in February 2023, a whole seven years after the original. And what a headset it turned out to be. Far simpler to set up with only one cable to the PS5, the PSVR 2 also boasted a range of advanced features – some that don’t appear on any other device. These have allowed developers to release a bevvy of awesome titles. So here are XR Source’s Best PSVR 2 Games of 2023.
Resident Evil Village VR Mode
Resident Evil Is VR’s Most Powerful IP
Let’s face it, virtual reality (VR) is still a long way off from competing with flatscreen gaming in terms of numbers. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be innovative whilst attracting blockbuster IPs to attract new players. Franchises like Star Wars, Ghostbusters, and The Walking Dead have all found a natural home in VR. But these all come from movie and TV backgrounds. When it comes to videogames making the leap into immersive gaming, none have done it on the same level as Capcom’s Resident Evil.
Fear Not the Horror Game Awards Voting has Begun
Play VR long enough and you’ll eventually build up the courage to try a horror game. There’s nothing quite like being inside a VR horror experience, easily surpassing any flatscreen equivalent. If you love scares galore then pay attention, the Horror Game Awards voting has begun and needs your input.
Resident Evil 4 Remake isn’t the only way to enjoy this classic
A week away from Capcom’s launch of the Resident Evil 4 remake and the reviews are in. It’s good, very good in fact, some outlets have even called it a “masterpiece”. This is slightly annoying because I wasn’t going to buy it. Not that I wanted it to be rubbish, just that I’ve played Resi 4 a lot, and it’s great. Therefore, can a remake really draw me back in? More importantly, can it do enough differently considering the excellent VR version?
Resident Evil Village VR Mode Dated
Resident Evil 7 biohazard launched on the original PlayStation VR back in 2017. It remains one of the best experiences on the system. So, news of it’s successor, Resident Evil Village, getting a VR mode is more than welcome. And now, a launch date for the Resident Evil Village VR Mode has been announced.
