Disclaimer; I still stand on what I posted earlier about physical media, exclusive titles, individual purchased games and first party exclusives. I reiterate that because of the rumors surrounding Xbox console exclusives mainly Starfield and Hellblade 2 being on PS5 soon. I know SONY fans wants Xbox games on their own system but making Xbox a third party publisher isnt the solution. What first party publishers should do is not make third party publisher games not exclusive on their own platforms. And make their first party games at least a year exclusive to their own platforms.
Its related to my current reviews so far because as people that read these observes, these games are third party exclusives on PSVR 2. My own opinion didnt affect how I reviewed these games thats why I put disclaimer first. Still, this is wrong take to tackle platform exclusivity. These 2 VR games are very good without PSVR 2 exclusivity. Its unfair for VR gamers for these titles to be gatekeeped behind a platform even though it can easily ported to PC VR.
As for the summary of my review this will be brief. My detailed review will be posted soon. TL DR; this game is actual remake of the original RE 4. Whether its the flat version or the VR version on Quest 2. Besides the graphics, change in story, improved gameplay and change in level design theyre practically the same, just improved. Thats why I didnt give this game a 5 star rating. Theres nothing in this game that revolutionized the IP Resident Evil. Just improved the previous formula since Resident Evil 4 on Gamecube

This is more of detailed review of this game so no disclaimer this time. And even though I played this on PSVR 2 the gameplay remains the same since both flat and VR mode are FPS. With that unto the review.
Graphics--- I also tried the flat version briefly before fully committed to PSVR 2 mode. Both mode have very good graphics. Better compared to Resident Evil 2 Remake. Its obvious making it a FPS means it need more detail to environment and models to stand out. Unlike in third person view games that its OK to shortcut on developing the visuals. Since gamers playing it wont even noticed the graphical flaws.
Gameplay--- This along with graphics makes this game a 10 out of 10. This game is a complete revamp of Resident Evil. No need for resource management and inventory space management. The weapons handling is streamlined too. We can switch from equipped weapons to the next without going to inventory menu. Its not only in PSVR 2. The flat version can also cycle through weapons with a single button press. And because its FPS the guns are realistic in terms of gameplay, sounds, visuals and even on reloading. Again I tried the flat version too. Both PSVR2 and flat version basically the same.
Sound design--- Its great. The music fits with the ambient noise in the background. The music isnt jarring and not ruin the horror atmosphere of the game. The background noises also not too loud. It dont distract from enjoying the game
Story--- As a Resident Evil game its actually very good. It follows the story where Resident Evil 7 left off. Sadly for Resident Evil fans out there the cheesy story of previous RE games are gone. Even though this game is full action horror the game still have serious tone. Even though the horror movie tone of Resident Evil 7 toned down a lot.
Spoiler section--- Dont read this part of the review if you dont want to be spoiled. This cover image alone says a lot. This is double misleading cover. Not only Chris Redfield not the main character throughout this game, he also replaced Ethan Winters towards the end. Means he is now the face of RE franchise again. So in a way the cover image is correct. There are also many retcons in the lore of RE games. For one thing CAPCOM want to erase RE Veronica on official canon. Its not Veronica anymore the one that introduced the zombie viruses, its now Mother Miranda. Its not discovered from a asteroid on Siberia or something. Its now manufactured by Mother Miranda because her daughter have terrible disease.
Overall this game is great not only as a Resident Evil game but as a game as a whole. It wont deserve a GOTY award, its still deserve a perfect score

Disclaimer; I know I didnt log in for long time since November last year. I didnt log in for long time because of the uncertainty of my hobby within these few months. I mean does reviews matter if the purpose of reviews, a informed view of what gamers should buy or not is obsolete? Since its all available in one subscription service anyway? Physical media games, individual retailed price games, hardware platforms, first party games and exclusives matters.
I based this while playing on PSVR 2. And my experience owning this on a physical media with a dedicated hardware platform, the PS5. Its very different compared to playing a game on Gamepass because of the value. Since I bought this game individually I have inform view of the quality of this game before buying, not subjective unlike with Gamepass games.
Anyway as for the review its a huge improvement compared to last Resident Evil I played, Resident Evil 2 Remake. I didnt bother to review RE 2 Remake because I didnt bought it. I only played it on my PS Plus subscription. I know I played this on PSVR 2 but its still the same as in flat version because its a FPS. The huge difference is the immersion and realism on gameplay. But its still the same gameplay since its still the same FPS camera as the flat version. Even if I played it on flat version I can still enjoy it and give this game 5 stars. I will post a more detailed review soon. Though its a spoiler warning
