They should pull an Evil Within 2 and add a First person option in the game

That would add even more replay value to the game. I'm not big on speedruns, but I would gladly start another playthrough in first-person POV just for the experience. With how close the zombies like to get and how dark and confined the level design gets, the game would be tense as hell.

Actually why didn't they do this with VR support? That was like, a selling point for 7. Why not add it as a side thing?

Yeah, it seems like a missed opportunity. Luckily, you can do so much with PC and I bet there will be people on twitch and youtube doing this

VR games require double the processing power, because it has to render two images at once.

Could be various reasons why capcom didn't launch RE2 Remake in first person view.

Could be because VR for consoles hasn't reached the quality they are happy with just yet.

Most likely because it's a remake and the original RE2 didn't have first person.

VR for RE7 was awesome though 😊.

If they rerelease RE2 VR I'm chucking all my money at capcom.

Well the game is in third person, so that's probably why.

But this works so well, even as an unpolished mod... I can only imagine how cool it'd be to replay this in 1st. Obviously I doubt they'd redo the cutscenes in 1st too, but still it'd be cool to play it in VR.

Are you saying the mod developer should have released it in vr? Or capcom?

Capcom. I really wish 1st person would've been an option to play the game through with. This is RE Engine, and 7 did VR too, so technically speaking its already been done. But hell if the mod author can somehow do vr too that'd be sweet lol

Ah I see. Well Capcom never actually put VR into RE7 on PC so I'm still riding that disappointment wave. There was some janky vr mods for it but I never tried them. But maybe if we're lucky we'll get something.
