A virtual reality version of Resident Evil 4 will launch on October 21st on Facebook’s Oculus Quest 2 headset.

Capcom announced the remake back in April. The Gamecube classic has been retooled for VR by Oculus Studios and Armature Studio. You’ll control Leon from a first-person perspective rather than looking over his shoulder.

Several aspects, such as combat and inventory management, were reworked to take advantage of VR.

You can use physical movements to pick up and use weapons and items. Instead of switching to a menu to swap guns, you can grab a different one from your holster.

Whether you play standing or seated is up to you, as there’s support for teleportation and room-scale movement, though you’ll primarily use the analog stick for navigation.

Armature’s Resident Evil 4 makes a somewhat complicated series of small changes to the original 2005 horror game. It’s supposed to feature the same narrative content and world design, rather than getting the kind of overhaul Resident Evil 2 did in 2019. 

Facebook says the original QuickTime event placements and animations are going to stay the same, although some of the actions have been “updated” to work better in VR.

(We’ll be waiting to see how the game’s more acrobatic sections translate to a headset.) Some of the quick-time events will involve quickly moving the controllers, while others will ask you to pull their triggers at the same time.

Other tweaks would make sense in any remaster. The game’s textures have been updated, and Armature has made enemies less likely to target your partner Ashley, who you’ll spend a lot of time protecting in either version of the game.

Hitman: Game of the Year Edition recently became available on GOG at a discount, but players are not happy and have been giving the game low scores.

Since the franchise was rebooted a few years ago, Hitman has been going from strength to strength. With Hitman 3 surging past its predecessor in terms of sales earlier this year, it seems as though there is still a lot of life left in the series, even though the studio is taking a break from the capers of Agent 47 to concentrate on a new IP. 

However, despite the popularity of the reboot, there are some gamers who have been less than pleased with the 2016 installment and have been making that known.

The review bombing took place during the weekend. Currently, Hitman – Game of the Year Edition sits at a ★1.5/5 rating in GOG. Several users expressed their concerns about the game’s online requirement despite being on a storefront that supposedly hands complete control to users over their games.

“This is completely shameful, on both the side of the publisher, for not working an actual DRM-Free version and on the side of GOG, for selling this as a ‘DRM-Free’ version, when its clearly not the case,” reads one user review from Neurus_Ex. “This game should’ve never gotten past GOG’s curation,” claims another from ZireaelPC.

Addressing the issue on the community forums, GOG said it was looking into the matter and would offer an update in the coming weeks, before calling out review bombers and indicating it will be removing posts that don’t follow its guidelines.

“Thank you for bringing this topic to our attention,” said a GOG spokesperson(as spotted by Eurogamer). “We’re looking into it and will be updating you in the coming weeks.

In case you have purchased Hitman and are not satisfied with the released version, you can use your right to refund the game.

At the same time, while we’re open for meritful discussion and feedback, we will not tolerate review bombing and will be removing posts that do not follow our review guidelines.”

At the time of writing, the Hitman: Game of the Year listing still contains reams of negative user reviews and continues to tout the title as “DRM free.”

Fans have been expectantly waiting on any news about what they can expect from the upcoming Spider-Man content in Marvel’s Avengers. After going silent about the character for a while, Square Enix recently confirmed that the webhead’s addition will bring additional story and cutscenes.

Marvel’s Avengers senior producer Dan Matlack briefly mentioned the content during an exchange on the game’s official Discord.

“Spider-Man is what we call an ‘event’ so he will have cut scenes and a story for sure,” he wrote (via MP1ST).

Marvel’s Avengers Spider-Man character will be released before the end of the year, Crystal Dynamics confirmed earlier this month.

Crystal Dynamics associate art director, Jeff Adams, gave fans a taste of what to expect from the Spider-Man content in a PlayStation Blog post last August.

“When Spider-Man comes to our stable of heroes, we’ll be marking his debut with an in-game event that will introduce him to the wider world of Marvel’s Avengers,” he wrote. “The event is comprised of a series of unique challenges for the hero to take on, testing his abilities, and yielding some exciting results.

“And like the rest of our heroes in Marvel’s Avengers, we will offer multiple cosmetic outfits and gameplay experience options, so you can make your vision of the wall-crawler a reality.”

Marvel’s Avengers first confirmed that Spider-Man would arrive in the game, albeit controversially as a PlayStation-exclusive character, in August last year. At the time, it was thought that the character would arrive during a release window in early 2021.

However, fan concerns increased as the introduction of Spider-Man was delayed and a long silence from the studio fell around, to the character.

Earlier this month, however, a new roadmap for Marvel’s Avengers confirmed that the developer was on track to release Spider-Man before the end of 2021.
