Capcom to Focus on VR Content Development

Buoyant from the success of Resident Evil 7 biohazard, Capcom is looking to invest more in VR.

Sounds cool to me. VR needs companies to take a shot with full games and VR side mode games.

How about Dino Crisis VR?

Or Resident evil dark side chronicles converted to VR. It looks like it could be one already huh? Change the movement and camera of course.

A new Steel battalion VR. Either all new or based on the original game on the first Xbox. But if it was the Kinect version, the DS4 and the move controllers would provide accurate controls.

And maybe a short devil may cry experience based off the first games atmosphere to announce and launch a new devil may cry. Switching between Ebony and Ivory and Rebellion juggling enemies would be cool. Notice on robot recall (1:00) the Dante style air juggling on oculus touch?

Capcom has possibilities.

Kinect version?

Steel Battalion in VR would be awesome.

This is great news. The only thing VR is missing right now is content. Even in its infancy, the tech is pretty solid. Next gen when the headsets to wireless and the motion control gets perfected, it will be even better. However, it's going to take more than tacking a mini-game onto a AAA title (like 1 mission in Battlefront, a mini-game a fraction of the length of the full game in Ace Combat, etc) to win the attention of the masses. Hopefully Capcom is ready to jump in with some full VR games of AAA quality.

of course it will get better and with rumors of scorpio getting some form of vr support thaty means developers will have another option too. right now though there isn't much content to justify the price of getting into vr for me but the idea of vr has always been cool. this is why sony had better make sure the ps5 is backwards compatable because coming out with psvr midcycle is not great value then.

UltraNova3369d ago

Agreed. RE 7 VR showed that when devs take it seriously gamers respond by supporting it.

I hope Capcom ups the ante with VR so others can be persuaded to make great VR games as well.

Dino Crisis and Onimusha would both make excellent choices for VR. Both of them sprung up from the Resident Evil formula so it would be fitting for those franchises to make the same move to VR.

Dino Crisis VR would be amazing!

I guess it's because they saw that people enjoyed playing RE7 in VR alot. This doesn't mean that their future titles will only be playable in VR though. I don't have an issue as long as they are playable with just a controller

Yohshida3369d ago

Re7 was the only real success they had in a while. They should focus on getting good games out instead.

MasterCornholio3369d ago

Well Resident Evil 7 proves that they are able to make good games that support VR. I don't see why they can't repeat that success with other titles.

Blues Journey is the game I'd like to see.

Pre-ordered mine a few days ago. Love this concept and hope there are more games announced. I can’t justify paying the prices for games that collectors are asking for. It’s the primary reason I own almost every console except the Neo Geo.
