PlayStation VR2

The virtual reality mode of Resident Evil 4 Remake supports both snap and smooth turning. With snap turning, you will be wrapped into the turn, which can be helpful at preventing motion sickness. With smooth turning, the camera will turn without any interruptions.

To see how you can switch between the two, you can take a look at this tutorial from Seeking Tech.

1. Head to the Options menu in the VR mode of RE4R if you haven’t done so already.

2. In Options, you need to be viewing the VR Controls tab. So, select it if you are viewing another tab.

3. You should find the Camera Turn Type setting on this screen. There will be two options:

Snap Turn:

Camera snaps at set angles in the direction the stick is pointed.

Smooth Turn:

Camera points continuously in the direction the stick is pointed.

4. If you selected Snap Turn, then you will also be able to adjust the following settings to your liking:

• Snap Turn Angle
• Snap Turn Speed
• Repeating Snap Turn Speed

We suggest playing around with these three until the snap turning feels more naturally and less clunky.

If you selected Smooth Turn instead, then you are able to select the Smooth Turn Speed.

When playing the VR Mode in Resident Evil 4 Remake, you may find the graphics to be a little bit too blurry. To see how you can potentially fix this visual issue, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. To start out, make sure that your PlayStation VR2 headset is adjusted to the sweet spot of your eyes. Otherwise, the graphics will look very blurry.

To re-adjust the sweet spot, press the PS button on either of the PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers to open the Control Center quick menu. From there, select the PlayStation VR2 Quick Settings card.

Afterwards, scroll down and then select Adjust Visibility. Finally, follow the on-screen directions to find your sweet spot.

2. From the same PlayStation VR2 Quick Settings menu, you should also make sure that Eye Tracking is enabled. This is because the virtual reality mode on RE4R uses foveated rendering to increase the visual fidelity depending on where your eyes are looking.

Furthermore, you can also try re-adjusting the eye tracking sensor by selecting Eye Tracking and then Adjust Eye Tracking from the PlayStation VR2 Quick Settings menu. Afterwards, follow the on-screen directions.

3. You should make sure that you have the latest patch downloaded and installed for the Resident Evil 4 Remake. A new update may increase the resolution and/or visual fidelity of the game when being played in VR.

4. It is also important to note that the game won’t look as good in virtual reality when compared to playing on a flat screen in non-VR.

This is because VR needs more processing power. Not to mention that the lens of the PlayStation VR2 won’t look nearly as sharp as a 4K television screen.

If you don’t like the movement controls in the virtual reality mode of Resident Evil 4 Remake, then you can check out this tutorial at Seeking Tech to see how you can change it.

1. You first need to open the Options menu from within the VR mode in RE4 Remake.

2. Once you get there, you should automatically be in the VR Controls tab. If you aren’t, then select it from the top of the screen.

3. You should then find the Locomotion setting with the following options:

VR Headset:

Tilting the stick forward moves the character in the direction the VR headset is currently facing.

Controller:

Tilting the stick forward moves the character in the direction the PSVR2 Sense controller is currently pointing.

VR Headset Fixed:

Tilting the stick forward moves the character in the direction the VR headset is facing at the time movement begins.

4. After changing the Locomotion setting, exit the Options menu and resume playing the game. The new movement type should be applied.

If you do not like the default throwing controls in the VR mode of the Resident Evil 4 Remake, then you can take a look at this tutorial from Seeking Tech to see how you can change it.

1. For the first step, open up the Options menu in RE4R VR.

2. From there, you need to go to the VR Controls tab if you aren’t viewing it already.

3. You should find the Throwing Controls setting. There are two options that you can switch to:

Type A:

Throw using a physical throwing motion with your arm. Please ensure your plat area is clear of obstacles when using this control type.

Type B:

Press L2/R2 to display the anticipated trajectory. Release L1/R1 to throw.

4. Exit out of the Options menu.

The new throwing controls should now be applied when you return to playing RE4 Remake in virtual reality.

When playing the virtual reality mode in Resident Evil 4 Remake, you need to use the L1 and R1 buttons on the PlayStation VR2 Sense Controllers to grab objects. To see how you can change the grabbing control method, you can take a look at this tutorial from Seeking Tech.

1. To begin, you need to open the Options menu in RE4 Remake.

2. You should be viewing the VR Controls tab by default. If not, select it from the top of the screen.

3. From the VR Controls tab, you should see the Grab Control Style setting. You should be able to switch between the three following options:

Hybrid:

Press L1/R1 to grab an object and hold it by continuing to touch L1/R1. Stop touching L1/R1 to drop it.

Hold:

Hold L1/R1 to grab and continue to hold an object.

Touch:

Touch L1/R1 to grab and continue to hold an object. Stop touching L1/R1 to drop it.

For the uninformed, the PlayStation VR2 Sense Controllers can sense your fingers when you touch its button. In supported games such as RE4 Remake, the touches can be registered as inputs even if you don’t physically press down on the buttons.

When you first start up the VR mode in the Resident Evil 4 Remake, you will be able to select your play style. If you would like to change this setting again after the initial boot up sequence, then you can check out this guide at Seeking Tech to see how you can properly do so.

1. To start out, head to the main menu if you haven’t done so already. This is because you won’t be able to change the VR play style from the pause menu as the option to do so will be greyed out.

2. Go to Options from the main menu.

3. Next, select the VR Settings tab at the top of the Options menu.

4. You should then see the VR Play Style setting, which has the following description:

Configure VR Mode to match your stance.

5. You will be able to switch between Standing or Sitting.

6. Once you are done choosing, exit the Options menu and load back into your game. The new play style should be applied.

When you first play the VR mode in the Resident Evil 4 Remake, you will be able to pick your dominant hand. This is used for menu navigation as well as the position of your hip equipment and ammo pouch.

If you would like to change the dominant hand setting after the initial boot up sequence, then you can check out this tutorial from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first step, open the Options menu in the RE4R VR.

2. From there, make sure you are viewing the VR Controls tab. If you are in another tab, then you need to select “VR Controls” at the top.

3. You should now be able to see the Dominant Hand setting, which has the following description:

Select your dominant hand for the controls. This affects the position of your hip equipment and ammo pouch.

4. You will be able to switch the dominant to “Left” or “Right.” After you changed to the other hand, the menu pointer will be applied immediately.

5. Exit the menu and then return to playing Resident Evil 4 Remake VR.
