Impressive new VR mod brings first-person, motion controlled gameplay to Resident Evil 2 Remake

After more than two years of tinkering with the RE Engine, master modder Praydog is close to releasing a VR mod for the Resident Evil 2 remake that boasts motion controller support the ability to play through the game in either third or first-person.

While this mod is yet to be released to the general public, myself and a handful of other VR fans have been given access to an incredibly impressive early build, which you can see in action in this week’s episode of VR Corner.

Rather than playing through Leon’s campaign, which has been featured heavily in other videos about this mod, I’ve decided to slip into Claire Redfield’s signature red leather jacket for this Let’s Play in order to show off a fresh perspective. In it, I make my way through the Gas Station and Raccoon City Police Department portions of Claire’s chapter using the mod’s first-person mode for added immersion.

As you’ll be able to see, while it is still in need of some polishing, Praydog’s mod often comes close to making it feel like the Resident Evil 2 remake was made with native, first-person VR in mind. It wasn’t, of course, but that just makes the mod even more impressive and I’m pretty sure it’s going to be something that both Resident Evil and VR fans will be excited to try out for themselves in the future.
