You have to go through several hand movements in order to reload in the virtual reality mode in Resident Evil 4 Remake. The motion varies depending on which weapon you are holding.

If you find that the manual reloads to be too difficult, then you can check out this guide at Seeking Tech to see how you can simplify it.

1. For the first step, you need to make your way to the Options menu in the game. Make sure you are playing in the VR mode.

2. Next, you need to select the VR Settings tab at the top of the screen.

3. You should now be able to find the Simple Reload setting, which has the following description:

Turn simplified reloading and cocking your weapons on/off.

4. Make sure that the Simple Reload setting is set to On.

5. Exit the Options menu and return to playing the game. Reloading your weapon should now be a lot easier.

In order to crouch in the virtual reality mode of the Resident Evil 4 Remake, you need to use the R3 button. To see how you can switch between using this button as a toggle to crouch position on/off or having to hold it down continuously, you can take a look at this tutorial from Seeking Tech.

1. Open the Options menu in the RE4R VR if you haven’t done so already.

2. From there, select the VR Settings tab from the top.

3. You should find the Crouch Type setting. There are two options available:

Toggle:

Toggle between standing and crouching by pressing R3.

Hold:

Crouch while holding.

4. After changing the crouch setting, you can exit the Options menu.

The new change should be applied to the R3 button on the right PlayStation VR2 Sense controller when you resume playing the game.

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.
