Capcom’s Resident Evil division is reportedly ‘focusing’ on VR

“He also confirms the team is now ‘building a new game development engine able to support VR”.

Headed by Jun Takeuchi, Consumer Games Development Division 1 has established that they are definitely looking at the VR gaming market.

According to its latest Integrated Report (via GamesIndustry), the team is actually dabbling in VR at the moment.

There aren’t many details available on what this new movie will be about, although Kotaku reports that it will feature Leon Kennedy, Chris Redfield and Rebecca Chambers, all of whom appear in the Resident Evil video game franchise.

The project will be directed by Takanori Tsujimoto and written by Psycho Pass script writer Makoto Fukami. joining the animation is famed director Takashi Shimizu of The Grudge, as executive producer, with the working title of the movie as Resident Evil CG 3.

Those anxious that Capcom‘s new focus on VR experiences may interfere with their development of traditional console games should rest easy knowing that the company made it a point to clarify that they are simultaneously working on new console games along with the VR titles. We delivered this very experienced with our ‘KITCHEN’ VR technical demo at E3 2015. The response was excellent.

The current average is $7.20, so pay that to unlock Resident Evil Revelations, DmC: Devil May Cry, Resident Evil 5 and more games are to be announced. It’s not a bad prospect, but you just have to remember not to boost the nausea factor of your raunchy game because a few of us will already be a little sensitive thanks to motion sickness.

On the other hand, CapCom might also choose to use “Resident Evil 2” remake for developing VR tech, aside from the seventh installment, but either way, the idea of being in the same world as zombies are in will surely excite gamers across the globe.
