In a system that was revolutionary for the time, Resident Evil 4's enemies would react realistically to taking a bullet - falling to the ground if shot in the leg, dropping their weapon if hit in the hands, and being left open for a melee attack if hit in the face. One of the reasons that Resident Evil 4's combat still feels so fresh is the incredibly detailed and responsive ways that enemies react to being shot. It's also possible to trace this DNA back to Resident Evil 4. This system is so central to the appeal of the game's combat that it's one of the most exciting ways that the upcoming Dead Space remake can improve upon the original experience, with considerable effort apparently being given towards making this mechanic feel even more visceral and intense. The game's enemies cannot be killed efficiently with shots to the body, so the player has to lop off their limbs to slow them down and eventually defeat them. I'm sure from the outside I looked properly silly, but in VR, I was an action-movie hero.The focal point around which Dead Space's combat revolves is tactical dismemberment. Grabbing the knife from the sheath strapped around my left pectoral, and being able to toss that knife between each hand felt like more than a gimmick it felt empowering - especially in a game where ammunition is limited and the enemies can be relentless. Simple actions of grabbing my gun from the side holster and sliding in a new clip of ammunition were weirdly satisfying. But I felt immersed in it in a way that was beyond that of the squat CRT television in my parent's bedroom.
It was the same world I remembered, with all the secret items and gold-dropping crows. Immediately, Resident Evil VR felt familiar yet fresh.
Plus: Apple VR headset killer feature just leakedĬourtesy of Capcom, I was provided a code of the game.
Either way, the gameplay mechanics and world were deeply realized for the time, and it's still considered by many, including us, as the best Resident Evil game.
Back then, it was seen as a major hallmark for video game story telling. I grew up playing Resident Evil 4 on the GameCube as a kid, and had fond memories of taking on the role of Leon Kennedy on a bizarre hunt for the president's daughter through a zombie infested village. But I recently downloaded Resident Evil 4 VR, a virtual reality port of the 2005 classic.
