Resident Evil in VR nearly made me puke

2016-06-15
absolutely sure nothing's gonna jump out of me turn it feels it feels really weird does not feel right feel like I'm getting a little dizzy we've been waiting for a major game developer to really commit to virtual reality in a big way and at e3 2016 Capcom is the one Resident Evil 7 the next game in their horror franchise is going to be entirely playable the entire game inside a PlayStation VR headset I just got to try it and it's pretty scary at a bursting virtual reality makes horror a little different than you might expect though the previous Resident Evil games have lots of scary things popping up right in front of you here you can actually look around all the corners before you get anywhere to see if there's some monster lurking there instead it'll be when you turn around behind you and all of a sudden there's a creepy mannequin right there that really ended up scaring me the other thing to know though is that some of the discomfort is because of virtual reality instead of creating a brand new control scheme for gamers here you can turn your head in virtual reality but you're still using a dual shock 4 analog controller to move around and when you turn your whole body and crouch down just by pressing a button on a gamepad or by swinging the analog stick to the right or left and your real body isn't actually turning that direction it could make you a little nauseous if you're prone to it like I am I got sweaty in the headset I started to feel a little nauseous at one point I defend myself because I felt like I might actually throw up because of the way the VR experience affected me now Capcom says they're going to be tweaking the control scheme so it'll be more comfortable for players but right now I I couldn't see myself playing the entire game this time the PlayStation 4 virtual reality headsets coming out in this October and Resident Evil 7 will be out in January Oh I don't know if I want to play the whole game that way I mean it's it's really immersive really creepy I also feel kind of sick I mean
