VR request again, because there's a rumorred PS5 patch

[Aurien Titus]

So there's a rumor from a supposedly reliable source [Link to Article][www.tomsguide.com] that there's a new patch coming down the pipe for RE7 to get a new XBox X/S and PS5 upgrade patch. I'd like to make my plea again that the PC get a VR patch. I own PSVR and an Index, and this game is one of my top games for PSVR. Would really love for this game get the PCVR treatment.

I realize that something like this almost assuredly will take more dev time and resources than a resolution bump patch on the consoles. I'd be fine with this being a DLC or even if they want to safely test the waters. Do a Kickstarter campaign. I'm sure Capcom has a pretty good idea of the cost required to make this happen. If that goal isn't reached, then nothing wasted or lost other than the time required to start the Kickstarter campaign.

Perfect game for VR. Lets go!

I bought it just because the Steam Shop did show me i could play it in VR and now there is no VR. Time for a Refund

BTW - don't use VorpX, it's overpriced rubbish. Not real proper VR.

I expect people will want more from this games VR mode than it will ever have. It wont get tracked controller support, and then people won't accept it on the PC when they realize that you have to play it with a controller.

They won't do the work to support tracked controllers for PC VR the port, in the rare chance that it ever happens, they never did the work to support the tracked controllers on the PS4.

Agreed, I was livid when I realised Subnautica has no hand tracking...

It's not as simple as just port it across. Sony own exclusive rights to the VR components. It was part of the deal, they pay capcom to do it, they own it.
Capcom would have to do the VR dev all over again, they aren't stupid either, they would have done the costings and worked out if it was worth it or not.

You have a source for that claim? Paying for timed exclusivity doesn't equal owning the code.

The Capcom leaks were very telling, besides leaking the deals between Capcom and Sony for exclusiveness, $5million for RE7.

Technically none of those articles say that Sony got the rights to the code that Capcom created, but isn't too far of a stretch I guess. Even if that is the case, Capcom would know know roughly how much it'd cost to code this from scratch for PC. That's why part of my suggestion was for a Kickstarter campaign. They set the goals and if they're not met, then no one loses any money.

That sounds like a bit of a dream Aurien, I really couldn't see Capcom starting a kickstarter.

"Stadia paid Capcom $10 million USD to put RE7 and RE8 on the platform. Sony paid $5 million USD for RE7 VR/timed DLC/demo exclusivity." It is there, in the summary of the leaks.

I agree. It is crazy that the PC version does not have VR.

It because the game was never meant to have it. This is speculation, but chances are what happened is Sony approached them near the end of development and asked them to put VR in the game, so it'll work with their PSVR system. Sony paid up and Capcom put the VR mode in the game last minute. I see no other reason Capcom would've put VR in the game otherwise.

Ah, I dunno. So much of the game feels like VR was in mind for a long time. Sony knew they were making a VR headset for a long time, and they would have been seeking deals for VR exclusivity for a while before we knew about it. I mean, "Kitchen" was shown in 2015, Capcom knew they were making a VR resident evil game back then and they would have had known a decent amount of time before then as well. considering development only started in 2014, it is most likely that it was intended to be a game with VR compatibility since development started.
