Resident Evil 4 Remake Gets a Thrilling VR Mod
Capcom’s iconic horror game, Resident Evil 4, has received a VR mod for its recent PC release, providing players with a third-person perspective. The mod follows special agent Leon Kennedy as he tries to rescue the US president’s daughter from a dangerous cult. The mod’s developer, Praydog, completed a VR mod for the original Resident Evil 4 PC game earlier this month, which may explain the rapid conversion from a flat PC game to PC VR.
In the VR mod, players have six degrees of freedom, allowing them to look anywhere while following behind Leon as he navigates through the game’s environments. The player’s success in completing the game depends on their ability to operate Leon’s fighting, movement, and interaction with VR controllers.

The RE4 Remake is out & Praydog stayed up all night getting full VR 3P support working! He’s also working on a 1st-person mode too which will release later (maybe a second playthrough?)

Resident Evil 4 was previously available on Quest headsets in a first-person perspective mode, but the new VR mod offers a different experience for players. The mod is an exciting development for fans of the series, who can now immerse themselves even further into the game’s tense and terrifying world.
Capcom is also working on a free VR mode for PSVR 2 owners who have the latest version of Resident Evil 4. This mode will likely offer a first-person perspective, giving players another option to experience the game’s intense horror in VR.
Overall, the Resident Evil 4 Remake VR mod is a promising development for the series and showcases the potential of VR in horror gaming. The mod’s success may also inspire other developers to explore the use of VR in their own horror games, providing players with even more opportunities to experience the genre in a new and immersive way.
