• Resident Evil 4 VR Release Date Announced

    Resident Evil 4 VR will be released exclusively for Oculus Quest 2 on October 21, 2021.

    Along with a new gameplay trailer, Oculus has announced its full VR remake of Capcom’s beloved survival-horror masterpiece will make the jump to virtual reality this October. IGN has a full hands-on preview of Resident Evil 4 VR you can read right now.

    Without spoiling too much of the preview, Resident Evil 4 VR is a refreshing new take on the 2005 classic and makes the horror shooter feel practically new.

    Resident Evil 4 VR supports both full-motion movement and teleportation travel. One of the biggest changes to RE4 in VR is how items are managed. You’ll now be able to draw your weapons and items directly from your virtual body, whether that’s reaching to your belt for a gun, or pulling a health item from your left shoulder.

    Entire puzzles and other objects, like the typewriter you use to save, have been recreated in VR to be fully interactive as well.

    When Resident Evil 4 was first released in 2005 it became an instant classic. Not only did it modernize the Resident Evil series, but many of the franchise’s newest games are directly inspired by Resident Evil 4 today.

    Be sure to check out our hands-on preview of Resident Evil 4 VR or read our original Resident Evil 4 review.

    Bethesda Buys Deathloop Voice Actor a PS5 so He Can Play His Own Game

    Bethesda has bought a PlayStation 5 for Deathloop's Jason Kelley after the voice actor told fans he didn't have a copy of the game or a console to experience it on.

    Just as Deathloop was about to launch, a short promo clip on the game's official Twitter account featured Jason Kelley, the voice actor for protagonist Colt, saying: "I cannot wait for you guys to get your hands on this video game. If anyone can get me a copy and a PlayStation 5, I would appreciate it." This made it clear that Kelley didn't own a copy of Deathloop or a PlayStation 5 to play it on

    While a number of fans congratulated Kelley on his performance in the game, Pete Hines – Senior Vice President of Communications at Deathloop publisher Bethesda – appeared to offer a solution to the voice actor's console related issues. "I can probably help find you a PS5 so you can play it," Hines said in response to the tweet. "You deserve a chance to play as Colt and enjoy your own amazing performance."

    An interview with JumpCut PLAY has since revealed that Hines stayed true to his word. Kelley said, "I made an announcement, I was doing a bit and said that I didn't have one and it turns out, I was just notified by Bethesda that a PS5 was made available and is going to be shipped to me, with the game as well. So, I'll be playing the game… I'm super excited."

    Some fans might find Bethesda's decision to give Kelley a PlayStation 5 slightly amusing, since this year's Microsoft acquisition of Bethesda means that an Xbox-exclusive studio has just bought someone a PS5.

    While currently only available for PlayStation 5, Deathloop will likely make its way to Xbox sometime in the future. In July, a Deathloop trailer revealed that the exclusivity period for the game would end on September 14 2022. When it does release, many fans may be hoping that Deathloop comes to straight to Game Pass, which earlier this year saw a number of Bethesda-published games added to its collection.

    Naughty Dog on The Last of Us Multiplayer Project: ‘In Short, We’re Working On It’

    While Naughty Dog may not have revealed any new details on the upcoming The Last of Us multiplayer project, it took the time on The Last of Us Day 2021 to ensure fans that it is actively working on it and that it will "reveal more when it's ready!"

    Naughty Dog's Rochelle Snyder shared the news in a community update after thanking the fans and the team who have all collectively made The Last of Us into the success it has become. Jokingly, Naughty Dog then included this question as a fan would write;

    "Yeah, that's lovely and great Naughty Dog, but what are you doing with The Last of Us right now?"

    "In short, we’re working on it," Naughty Dog answered. "We see the community comments as many of you clamor for multiplayer and want updates. For now, we’ll say that we love what the team is developing and want to give them time to build out their ambitious project, we’ll reveal more when it’s ready!

    "To that end, we’ve been busy growing our team inside the kennel since The Last of Us Part II launched and are currently in full swing of hiring for MP-related positions (hint hint), so if you or somebody you know qualifies for anything you see on our jobs page, apply!"

    For those who are unaware or may not remember, Naughty Dog announced that it had made the "difficult choice" to not include an online multiplayer mode in The Last of Us Part 2 after the scope and ambition of the game's single-player campaign reached a level even the team had not anticipated.

    However, considering the love many have for The Last of Us' Faction mode, Naughty Dog reassured fans that it would be returning in some form in the future.

    While we still don't know if this will be a standalone game, part of a future collection of The Last of Us games, and or part of a new game, we do know that Naughty Dog is hard at work at making it a reality. In our opinion, a standalone The Last of Us multiplayer game is actually a great idea.

    Even though that wasn't the most substantial update, Naughty Dog and HBO did share the first look the upcoming The Last of Us series, which gave us our first look at Pedro Pascal's Joel and Bella Ramsey's Ellie.
