Capcom: Create a new game for Biochemistry 7 VR

The listing of Resident Evil 7 and its VR version is undoubtedly a success for Capcom. It is reported that so far, "Resident Evil 7" has sold more than 3 million copies, and players and the media continue to praise. Many players feel that "Resident Evil 7" VR is the most horrible VR experience.

However, you may not know the story behind R&D, because according to Kazuhiro Takahara, chief engineer of the Kapoo VR project team, during an interview with Gamasutra, Kapoo encountered a series of VR versions of "Resident Evil 7". The unique challenge. Although in the end they successfully solved these problems, it felt like it was actually developing two completely different games.

Kazuhiro Takahara mentioned in the interview: “We have encountered a series of challenges in the R&D process: we cannot use the experience of the previous “Resident Evil 7” development as the cornerstone of the VR version; we cannot rely on static cinematic motions; neither can we. Relying on old control programs. For all of the above reasons, the entire R&D team feels like they are developing two very different games."

As a result, Capcom established a dedicated VR development team. Its members are composed of experienced R&D personnel who have previously dealt with VR. "We have to make a lot of adjustments to the system program so that the game can adapt to VR and non-VR versions at the same time," Takahara continued.

Overall, however, Capcom is quite satisfied with the current results, and also feel that the VR version of "Biochemistry 7" is very attractive. According to Takahara, the most attractive is to use VR to make players have a real sense of immersion, to experience this super-terrorist experience from the perspective of the male owner Ethan Winters.
