Resident Evil 7 is only on PlayStation VR til 2018

We have learned previously that Capcom has three major unannounced games that will release by early next year, with one of them in particular seeming like it will be the highly-anticipated Resident Evil 7. This section of the game is a standalone prologue to the main game and will not be featured in the final Resident Evil 7 experience.

Playroom VR includes six mini-games, created to be played with friends and family.

The highly anticipated Here They Lie will be the first first-person horror game for the PS VR, featuring a bleak city, mysterious creatures, and a woman in yellow luring the player further down the nightmare. However, it might take a long time before PC gamers can have a full experience of the game.

Another highly anticipated title for the PS4 VR is “Resident Evil 7” and according to Push Square, it will be exclusive to the Sony console for a year. That’s presumably because connections for gaming headsets generally use audio from a gaming console, not from an external source like PSVR.

In addition, this new device is not just built for VR. Resident Evil 7 is still stated to release on January 24, 2017 for Xbox One and PC too.

Instead, the Japanese game developer attempted to soften the blow by releasing a terrifying new trailer that introduces gamers to the Baker family, reports the Express of UK.

Sony’s PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro and PlayStation VR headset (L-R) are displayed at Tokyo Game Show 2016 in Chiba, east of Tokyo, Japan on September 5, 2016.

Latest reports have it that the game got an M rating as posted on the ESRB website. It includes playable demos for the likes of Resident Evil 7 and more. The Facebook-owned Oculus has also published and backed numerous bigger-budget VR games that are programmed to only run on the Rift. But the Resident Evil brand of slow-burning tension and quiet survival horror – punctuated by these memorable moments of climactic terror – doesn’t really align with the run-and-hide panic of a game like Outlast, which the most recent Lantern demo noticeably pulls from. This hack allows users to download any game for free an install a range of homebrew games or apps.
