Resident Evil Team Is Working With VR At The Moment
The future of Resident Evil seems unclear at the moment, in terms of mainline games. No one knows what Capcom's Development Division 1 are working on at the moment, but we've now been given a little insight.
According to its latest Integrated Report (via GamesIndustry), the team is actually dabbling in VR at the moment. Resident Evil producer Jun Takeuchi said:
At present, we are focusing our energy on challenging the virtual reality (VR) game market," the company's Development Division 1 summary states. "In this terrifying world, you can twist and turn as you like, but there's no escaping the creatures closing in on you…until you remove your VR headset and return to reality, that is. We delivered this very experienced [sic] with our 'Kitchen' VR technical demo at E3 2015. The response was excellent. Currently, we are building a new game development engine able to support VR, which is the hottest market right now, while simultaneously developing titles for current game consoles. We have just set sail on our latest voyage.
This sounds interesting. It seems the team really does have a serious intention to get back into the horror realm after the last few action orientated Resident Evils, and that is the most interesting of all.
