The virtual reality “remake” of the horror video game Resident Evil 4, developed by the Japanese studio Capcom, will be available from October 21 for Facebook Oculus Quest 2 viewers.

Resident Evil 4, the fourth installment in Capcom’s horror video game saga, was originally released in 2005 for the Nintendo GameCube and PlayStation 2 consoles, and later made its way to PC, Wii, later consoles, and even mobile devices.

Now, this title considered “one of the best video games ever made” according to Oculus, will arrive exclusively on its Quest 2 virtual reality headset on October 21 in the form of a new “remake” adapted for virtual reality, the company has informed in a statement.

The new video game maintains iconic aspects of the original title, including support for teleportation and movement between rooms as a means of exploring its universe.

Although the player’s movement occurs through the Oculus control stick, the developer Automature included a series of commands to be performed with the upper body through touch controls with both hands.

This new release of Resident Evil also redesigned the operation of weapons and other objects, so that the player can collect and interact with them as if they physically existed, and even remove them directly from the body instead of with the traditional weapon menu.

Apple has been developing what will be its first virtual reality headset for some time, which is expected to be presented in 2022, and which will inaugurate a new category of products in the most ambitious company, as a precursor to augmented reality glasses.

The technology company has faced obstacles in the development of its virtual reality viewer, to face similar devices from brands such as Oculus, Sony or HTC.

This helmet, codenamed N301, is still in development, and would employ the most powerful chips and higher resolution displays than its competitors. It would even have a fan, as the sources point out. It is aimed at content such as videos, video games or communication services.

But it is understood as the precursor of a new category that will feature more ambitious augmented reality glasses that will take more time to produce, as sources familiar with this project have informed Bloomberg. These glasses, codenamed N421, are in a very early stage of development called architecture.

Apple’s first virtual reality headset will be priced higher than its competitors’ equipment. Sources indicate that it is not expected to be a massive success with the public, but that sales of about 180,000 units are estimated.
