Tried Resident Evil 7 with Playstation VR special Halloween

Today Thursday October 27 we have been graced with the special Halloween event by Sony where we enjoyed the Resident Evil 7 VR version (the “demo of the old,” as they have named it) and a small very Curran Rob Zombie-style performance. We going to gut it to you!

There is a curious character that appears in the saga of the House of a thousand corpses (the second film called the Renegades of the devil) director and musician Rob Zombie called Captain Spaulding, a clown come to less than a cheesy circus and very gloomy, a type very disgusting and full of false condescension to their customers. Due to the performance of Playstation in VR Gate in Madrid (halfway between the typical House of the Witch and the little train of the witch), we have been able to enjoy this special event Halloween where was portrayed in a more or less literal way, by an actor completely giving the pego. With a few scenes, curtains and prepared scenarios have guided us little by little until the old, a character from the demo of Resident Evil 7 (which I will talk about later). Should hide us of she, and we sought, is laughed of us by not be able of hide us properly. This was simply the lead-in for what would follow, the long-awaited demo of Resident Evil 7 with virtual reality goggles for Sony, the PS VR console.

For readers who do not know, in this latest installment of the acclaimed saga Resident Evil already not will dominate arms or action, by changing the third and living a much more survival horror than in previous titles experience. Often our only option is to hide, as was the case in the previous demo distributed for PlayStation 4, carry a helpless character (by now little is known of it) which faces the unknown with a unique weapon, wholeness. We are at the time of the rise of the “horror games helpless” (Outlast, the cancelled P.T.), where we appreciate the use of narrative, the setting and the plot above the action forcing the developers to squeeze the head and contact or hire creators of good and thoughtful stories.

As we have already mentionedwe must escape from the clutches of old and the Baker family (composed of grandmother, father, mother and son) of a dilapidated House hiding them. She goes with a lamp of oil as the sole indicator of where he is, telling us while we shout insults and expletives.  But let’s talk about the experience.

It is the first time that I’ve been able to test virtual reality (except the Oculus Rift dev kit of 2-minute roller coaster and about 3 years ago) and the result surprised me pleasantly saving some details. Recognition of the head movement is exceptional, very real and feels fluid. For greater control, with the right joystick on the remote control you will serve to make sharp turns of 30 ° (to not become Regan MacNeil, the girl from the Exorcist) with what we avoid getting up from the seat, and the right was the movement (running L3 and R3 Crouch). The 3D is brutal with an effect of depth which is very effective, and dip that generates (headset, glasses, and recognition of the movement when we move, stretch the neck or look at another site) is admirable, hard cognitive work. As I said, I was surprised in his favor. And we are talking about a technology that is taking its first steps.

Now, sit down and talk about the cons. Much to my regret, the physics of the game are (in my opinion) void. Is like a picture, we can look (and admire) textures of everything, a masterpiece (I’ve been several times enjoyed looking at a piece of wood of the wall, a main or the waste bags that I dare not guess its content) but do not interact with anything. A small puzzle game of shadows was the only possible interaction with the environment, but could only see what had before, a fade to black avoided to see beyond the riddle that concerns us. And while the scripts of water flowing (there was a river in the middle of the room) were worthy of an Oscar, in a cinematic where one of the members of the family was attacked and was bleeding, the effect reminded me of the particles of the recreation of the year of the House of the Dead, very unrealistic. Amen’s say that in a few moments (scarce, that Yes, above all in the letters) occurred the call “chromatic aberration” or what is the same, dysfunction in the union of colors creating shading of colours at the edge of objects. But as stress, very rarely.

Experience has been a marvel in General. Something nice to see and feel. Because therein lies everything. Even with the drawbacks exposed, the reality is that it has been a great experience, as the first time that you do bungee jumping or similar things. Then you can pull more times, but the first time you’ll never forget.
