How to change the turning motion setting in Resident Evil 4 Remake VR

by

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.

How to fix blurry graphics in Resident Evil 4 Remake VR

by

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.

What to do if you can’t hear the dialogue in PS5 version of RE4 Remake

by

In some scenes, you may not be able to hear the voiced dialogue when playing Resident Evil 4 Remake on your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console. This commonly occurs when you reach the end of the first chapter as you may not be able to hear the conversation from that point in the story.

To see how you can fix this sound issue, you can take a look at this troubleshooting article from Seeking Tech.

1. For the first potential fix, you can try disabling the controller speaker. In order to do so, you need to take the following steps:

  • To begin, you need to head over to the Options menu. You can do so from either the main menu or the pause screen.
  • From the Options menu, you need to use the L1 and R1 buttons until you switch over to the Audio tab.
  • In the Audio tab, scroll down and then move the cursor over to Controller Speaker.
  • You can use the left directional button, right directional button or the left analog stick to change the Controller Speaker setting from “On” to “Off.”

  • Once you are done disabling the controller speaker, you can press the circle button to exit out of the Options menu and then return to the game.
  • The dialogue should now be played back in the same source as the rest of the audio. For instance, if you are using your TV speakers, then the voice audio should come from there as well.

2. If you are able to hear the dialogue but it is getting easily drowned out, then you can try adjusting the volume levels.

In order to do so, you need to return to the Audio tab in the Options menu. From there, make sure that the Voice Volume slider is set to the maximum. Afterwards, make sure that the BGM Volume and Sound Effects Volume sliders are lowered.

Afterwards, you should have an easier time hearing the voices in the game.

3. If you want to keep the Controller Speaker setting enabled, then you should wait until Capcom releases a patch that will fix this particular sound issue.

To manually check if there is a new patch available for the Resident Evil 4 Remake, you need to go to the home menu of your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition and then move the cursor over to the game’s icon. Afterwards, you need to press the Options button and then select Check for Update.

To see how you can get the graphics to load properly in the Series X and Series S versions of this survivor horror game, you can take a look at this troubleshooting guide.

1. For the first step, you can try quitting the game and then restarting your console by taking the following steps:

  • Once the game has closed down, press and hold the Xbox button on the controller to bring up the power menu.
  • From there, select the Restart console option.

  • Once your Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S has restarted, open Resident Evil 4 Remake and then continue from where you left off to see if the textures are loading properly this time.

2. If you still can’t get the floor, ground or other textures to load, then you can try deleting and then re-installing the game.

To delete, you need to do the following:

  • Go to the home menu of your console.
  • From there, move the cursor to Resident Evil 4 and then press the Menu button on the controller.
  • Select “Manage game and add-ons” from the pop-up menu.
