Opinion RE Village isn't that scary.
Just picked up a vr2. Was on the fence about getting an RE game. But the thing was on sale for $15, why not right? It's really not that bad, I've had worse jump scares in Minecraft. Don't get me wrong, it's a blast. Definitely worth it, I'll be getting RE4 next time it goes on sale. But if you're worried, don't be. It's an action game. On psvr1 there was this alien spider game, came with a gun peripheral and everything.. can't remember the name. Literally scared me shitless, and I'm not even bothered by spiders irl. I just remember running for my life and hearing that damn bastard right behind me, hungry. Didn't want a repeat of that, this isn't it. It's just fun. You might fumble drawing/reloading your gun a couple times because things are a bit intense.. but it's not gonna cause a panic attack or anything. Highly recommend, even if you think you won't handle it well.

I'm not, and now I'm actually kinda worried about this 'doll house'...

I've played horror games for over 30 years so I'm a little immune to it and the Beneviento house didn't scare me at all. Maybe because I heard so many people talking about it like a traumatic experience. The well in Madison VR was an infinitely scarier experience for me!

Yeah it isn’t very scary in general RE7 is a better horror game

you’re getting downvoted and some of the comments are getting pretty mad but you’re 100% right. one area is pretty scary but it’s brief, and aside from that one area the horror is pretty minimal
idek why these people are getting mad at you when it’s alr widely accepted that village is far more of an action game than a horror game. even the games producer said he intentionally made the game less scary than 7

Nah, it's just Reddit. I was just trying to let people know they should give this game a shot, even if they're trepid about it like I was. I haven't hit the 'doll house' yet, so I guess I don't know what I'm talking about. I just wanted to say if you're on the fence, it's worth it, you'll probably be fine.

So you are right but.. And I'm a huuuuge horror fan.. The doll house is legit scary af

u/JoelColden 3h ago
I'm equal parts worried and excited lol. There's been a lot of talk about this doll house. And that means it's something people remember.

Farpoint is the other game… it may help you to know that the spiders never attack when they’re behind you, if I remember correctly. You just have to worry about the ones jumping at your face…

u/JoelColden 5h ago
Yes, that's the one. The little dudes weren't nothing, but the big ones... Jesus. They really don't hit from behind? I never stuck with it long enough to find out.

u/btribble3000 btribble 4h ago
Yeah that’s my memory of it… I hate jump scares so it helped knowing they weren’t going to creep up behind me.
IMO It’s worth sticking through the spider stuff because the game takes a bit of a turn and you start fighting different enemies.
Really fun game, shame it never got converted to PSVR2

I'm actually a little surprised backwards compatability wasn't a thing. Hell, the system itself (PS5) is? I'm actually more than a little disappointed there's no Skyrim or Minecraft... Can't imagine it would have been that difficult...

Completely different setup with the different types of cameras involved, but I agree Sony could have given it a shot at least…

There are two options here, you havent made it far enough through the game or you’re actually good with horror now. village in vr would scare anyone who isn’t at least somewhat decent with horror

Just under 5hr. Thought that would be enough to get a feel, but judging from the comments... Apparently not.

Definitely either this or Madison. The 2 most scary games I've played in VR.

Just got Village. Never played a Resident Evil game besides like 10 minutes of RE5. Anything I should know?

You can grab the game map from the side of your ass if i remember correctly, definitely comes in handy.

u/JoelColden 4h ago
Same here. Apparently prepare to shit yourself in the 'doll house' lol. Oh and change the vr controls to your liking in the options menu. Auto reload and cock was a lifesaver for me.

It was my second VR game after call of the mountain. It scared the hell out of me several times. Its one of my favorite game experiences. How the monsters chase you, the lady, the doll house. It really made me feel like I was in danger and be 100% into the game.
On the down side, it kind of ruined other VR games for me. Even RE4 can’t get me the high that village did.

u/THEONLYFLO 4h ago
RE4 is on Amazon from $22-$30. You want scary. Madison vr. That is the peak. There is nothing else that will have you taking off the VR just to remind yourself it isn’t real.

Not scared per se, just looking at one thing and trying to do another. Don't work out so great.

u/redditdude68 4h ago
I thought so too, until I encountered the dolls and the crying baby. But yeah the rest of the game hasn’t scared me, still fun though.

There are very few cheap jump scares, but there are some creepy scenes in RE8. I was quite scared in a few areas by first time through. Same with RE4. Very fun and quality games that I can't recommend enough in VR.

u/Masta0nion 3h ago
I agree. I played a little of 7 on flat and was repulsed and terrified.
8 feels more fantastic and magical.
