Question

RE7 Makes You Sick!


However, despite all of that, if you’re sensitive to motion sickness
issues, this game may still bother you. Luckily, you can reload your
save file and switch between VR and non-VR at essentially any time,
making it easy to swap in and out of the headset and take frequent
breaks. But consider yourself warned that it may not feel great if you
don’t have well-established VR legs.

So against all the fanboy denials from the comments following the E3 presentation, the concerns seem to have been proven right about if Capcom could address the issue of instigating sim-sickness with this game.

Now the question will be if that will also be the case for the CV1 port?

The VR exclusive deal is set to one year. I think they maybe adjust and refine for PC port? Also adding Vive and touch controller would be awesome. I don't like playing VR Games with the xbox controller. In the let's play, people used the controller way too much to look around. That's not what HMD made for.

I have seen some comments on some let's play videos. I saw only one person complaining about motion sickness. There are a lot of options about smooth turns and walking speed, what I have seen. I dunno...

But the exclusive deal is awful. Nobody will care about RE7 VR on PC after a year. I won't buy this game anyway.

I think you will find that a number of the early 'Let's Play'ers may be closely associated too Sony for their "early access" copies - and most reviewers will not bite-the-hand-that-feeds-them. We saw Sony PR clamp down hard on the E3 booth, regarding comments about sickness (even though they had medication and ginger drinks on hand, just as if they knew they had an issue ;) ).

Again, timed exclusives seem to hurt the formative VR scene rather than generate maximum revenue for the instigator. I agree that most people in the PC VR community are going to pass on a full price RE game that's 12-months old for whatever the 2018 PC VR sector will be into by them.

I would also not hold my breath for a loving OVR port; CAPCOM has been having issues working with the company (due to their HTC association), so a good port of the PSVR title by CAPCOM onto the OVR platform may be a bit of a reach. However, Valve and CAPCOM have good links, so a ViVE version for 2018 could be a useful "shovel-ware" title.

This is old news. I said this back in September

'Resident Evil 7' in VR is a sweaty, puke-inducing masterpiece.
I never thought I'd get sick in VR. Man, I was wrong.

Hey, wait-a-minutee - I notice that Zenbane tries to claim that he called it on RE7 from his September'16 post, but it had already been discussed in the June'16 post:

Way to get it wrong again Zenbane!

Strange that the PSVR reddit seemed full of nothing but praise for the 2nd RE7 demo.
