Ok
I thought Soma was scary. I have NEVER had a horror experience like this in my entire life. In VR I'm the guest star in this freaky ass shit Texas chainsaw massacre remake and I am constantly shitting my pants. And what's worse is when you expect something. It doesn't happen. You turn around and FUCK

Retarded that they restricted this to PSVR for 12 months before PC users can experience it. I'd snap it up in a second if I could play it on the Vive. Now I'll just hold off for a year and it'll be cheaper most likely.

Yeah definitely wait until you can play it on the Vive.
It is absolutely terrifying.
It causes a problem now. I doubt I will ever be able to be even somewhat afraid in a non VR horror game after this experience. I mean, I am literally peeking over corners, above boxes, hoping to Christ I am not spotted. It's amazing.

For one thing, don't they run at radically different resolutions and hertz? With VR I can only imagine it's a bit more difficult to tweak things to prevent nausea/disorientation on programming side per VR hardware.
They very well might need the extra development time for PC VR having many permutations (remember, video card matters with PC VR for all types I'm familiar with thusfar) versus the relative simplicity of only having 2 variants to program for (Pro/Norm)

Ok so a trip report - this will cover the first 2 hours or so of the game - spoilers, some minor... some not.
Anyway, more happened. I got to the point early on where
and was caught hiding. That's when I said ok. Time to hug my Dog and watch hockey.
To say I am fired up to play more when I get home is a double edged sword at this point. Yes. I cannot wait for more. No. I can wait for more though.
So I start out in a car and work my way through the area to the house. Some of the outside is too blurry in VR. But once inside the house, it clears up. Headphones in, jacked, ready to go. VR on. It's time to go inside and it's basically the demo so I knew what to expect. Throw in a tape, see where I can flip the secret door, down I go after watching the video tape. Now, everything is new.
As I go through the sewer system the water is up to my neck, and I am thinking to myself, holy shit this is a cool experience. I actually feel like I am moving through neck high water... And then.... Bubbles. Uh? What's causing those bubbles? And while I am wondering what the hell is causing the bubbles and what is going to jump up at me, THE DEAD BODY FROM THE VIDEO TAPE FLIES OUT OF THE WATER LIKE A COFFIN OUT OF THE POOL IN POLTERGEIST AND I HAVE MY FIRST HEART ATTACK.
10 minutes later after I reattach the PSVR to my console...
I am heading through this under the house sewer area and oh sure... while exploring every nook and cranny I come up to none other than... A girl sleeping in a jail cell. Wait... I played Kitchen. That outfit looks REALLY familiar.... Great. Here we go.
So I open up the jail door and then I just sit there and watched.... because I KNEW something was going to pop at me. It had to. I spent 5 minutes debating if I should move closer... because I think I already know what is about to happen.... Wait... Wait... Ok here we go screw it. I'm dead.
Move closer and it just turns into a normal scene where I am waking up my girlfriend and she is normal. Wait... Wait just a minute... Now, I KNOW something is going to happen to her... Because I played through kitchen and they look an AWFUL LOT A LIKE. But we talk. She asks why I am there. I said you sent me an email asking to come. She said she doesn't remem,ber doing that, and "OH BY THE WAY WE NEED TO GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE".
No shit really?
So all of a sudden she gets tired and needs to take a break then she vanishes into a secret doorway and screams for help and then I go into the secret doorway and out comes SATAN WOMAN WHO I KNEW WOULD COME OUT EVENTUALLY.
Right now I am freaked out - getting stabbed. She then turns back to normal. Says shes sorry. That wasn't her. And I feel like I am on a bad episode of My Crazy Ex. There are some other things that happen for the next 30 minutes as I get continually attacked by Satan woman soon to be ex girlfriend because she just tried to kill me 50 times, Oh, and cut off my hand.... Yay. Blood everywhere...
Oh great now she is coming after me with a chainsaw after I killed her twice already AND SHE KEEPS COMING BACK TO LIFE. And WHAM.
"Welcome to the family".
Wake up. At the dinner table. Complete with GRANDMA SITTING IN WHEEL CHAIR STARING AT ME while I am being forcefed what looks like brain tissue. Oh fun. Now, this grandma looks EXACTLY like grandPA from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. And in VR? Well, you get an upclose version real life look. And it's freaky. You know what is also freaky? When I break away from the chair and start figuring out how to get out of there and WHEREEVER I MOVE TO IN THE VICINITY OF GRANDMA SHE CONTINUES TO LOOK AT ME!
Holy Hannah!

I found the second video tape and am about to play my girlfriend so I can see what the heck happened to her

None of this actually matters since it's been confirmed that Sony paid for a 12 month exclusivity for the VR version. I would have been fine with Capcom coming out saying the PC VR version had been delayed because of technical hurdles but that's not what happened. Paying for exclusives is, always has been and always will be, retarded from a consumer stand point.

This girl must have some supernatural pussy for a man to remember that feeling from 3 years and muster up the courage to come and look for her in that god damn house :/

Definitely one of the best RE's up there with RE2/3. Few minor gripes with certain mobs being bullet sponges, but hope they do more like this. The ending was interesting:
Appears Chris now works for Umbrella, not sure if they are still bad since I don't remember seeing any direct link to Eveline in the documents. Wonder what part Lucas will play in the future since he's still out there.

Thing about these games is over the past few days I watched a full play through. Looked awesome and it's not quite the same, but literally no point in buying it now. Same thing happened with uhh... that one exclusive that was mostly a story game from a few months ago... forget what it was called. I did the same thing.

It's been a long time since a game has freaked me out like this. Maybe since playing silent hill when I was like 13 with all the lights off.

Unless you play it in VR. Because it's a whole new experience being IN the game.
