VR Mods for ‘Resident Evil 2’ and ‘Resident Evil 3’ Released
Four months after we got our first taste of Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes in VR, modder praydog has followed through by officially releasing the mods over on Github.
The mods work with the original Steam releases, but you’ll need some extra beef in your rig in order to accommodate for the added VR performance requirements. There are some quirks involved (namely with Leon’s wrists twisting around when he rotates his hands), but it’s damn close. Plus, you can even experience the cutscenes in VR.
With this mod, fans now have access to Resident Evil 2, 3, 4 and 7 in VR, officially and otherwise. There’s potential for Resident Evil Village to have a VR mod, though so far, no one has announced anything in regards to that. Still, Capcom may well have something up their sleeves for the game, along with DLC that we’ll hopefully see later this year.
Big thanks to UploadVR for the news. You can also check out their playthrough (in VR) in the video below.
A month after hitting the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series, Fancy Games and Blackbird Interactive’s Escape The Backrooms has landed on the Nintendo Switch 2. And like the PS5 and Xbox, the Switch 2 version of Escape The Backrooms includes the the Winter Wanderer and Chinese New Year cosmetic items, with more content to be added in the future.
No-clip beyond the bounds of reality and explore haunting liminal spaces, from iconic yellow hallways and echoing pool rooms to horrific hotels and bone-chilling birthday parties. Wander solo or with up to three friends in online co-op, hunting for exits to help you descend further into the Backrooms. Beware, as those teammates who no-clip into other areas of the map leave every member of your team must find the exit alive to escape.
Luckily, you can communicate with your teammates with proximity voice chat. However, the terrifying entities that stalk your every move and hear your every conversation, so stay quiet whenever you’re near any danger.
The Backrooms are only seemingly endless… right? Find out for yourself by returning to the Backrooms to uncover secret levels and unlock new endings. Test yourself in Nightmare Mode, where a single death leads to a full restart.
You can also grab Escape The Backrooms on Steam, which currently has a 20% discount during the Steam Summer Sale.
