Resident Evil 7 biohazard Exclusive to PlayStation VR for 12 Months

Capcom has only ever shown Resident Evil 7 biohazard on the PlayStation VR, as an exclusive, but as shown in the image below – which appeared on Reddit from a reported Facebook ad – that image has some interesting info in the bottom left hand side, stating: “Resident Evil 7 biohazard coming in 2017 and exclusive to PlayStation VR for 12 months.”

[S2Killinit]

This will move some hardware. Its on the top of my personal list. I really wanted a good VR horror to play before Christmas and RE in VR would get the job done.

Dont care if its exclusive or not i just wanna play VR games (:

Edit: my bad. Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, and Here they lie, it is. I keep forgetting RE is next year because there is so many games coming before Christmas that i just assumed RE is also coming soon.

[Kurisu]

Resident Evil 7 doesn't come out until January so you won't be able to play it before Christmas. Unless you mean Christmas 2017 xD

@TheColbertinator

Yes, Until Dawn: Rush of Blood is a PSVR launch title. I would have loved a proper Until Dawn VR game. Not saying that Rush of Blood won't be good, but it's an on rails shooter with the Until Dawn name tacked on.

[TheColbertinator]

Is Until Dawn VR releasing this year?

[babadivad]

Horror games are probably the only thing that would make me pick up a PSVR. I feel like this is a market VR should be hitting harder than they currently are.

[TeamLeaptrade]

I don't think I could handle horror games on a VR headset myself. I can barely handle most horror games as it is.

[ifistbrowni]

Agreed, I'm a huge fan of getting spooked. But, I'm kinda worried that even I wont be able to handle too much horror in VR. I haven't tried VR at all, but if it's as "game-changing" as the media portrays it to be, then I don't know how much of a game like Outlast I could take.

Granted, Outlast wasn't THAT scary, but as a trophy-whore completing both the base game and DLC without dying was definitely some of the most scary shit I've ever played.

Nm

[bouzebbal]

right now adon't think it would.. PS4 is on its own league atm and nothing can stop it.
This is a race to VR supremacy.. This is definitely a good move from Sony.
January 24th release date

[sammarshall102]

VR might do good at launch but by the end of next year it wont be talked about anymore

[S2Killinit]

Trust me. VR is going to blow minds. It will only get better.

[ifistbrowni]

Would like to buy a PSVR before RE7 but I will definitely buy a PSVR for RE7.

[BossBattle]

So regular PS4 not getting it either for 1 year

[Kurisu]

I'm confused by this. Do they mean exclusive to PS4 AND PSVR for a year? Because it's a VR compatible game, not a VR required game. Also, it would really hurt sales if it wasn't available to the full 40+ million PS4 install base.

[DJStotty]

exclusive to PSVR for 12 months. Simultaneous launch for xbox one/ps4, otherwise it would say exclusive to ps4/vr.

In other words will be launched on rift etc 12 months later

[ziggurcat]

no. it means that the VR version is exclusive to PSVR for one year, not the game altogether. stop spreading FUD.

[daynnight365]

Everything was cool but the last sentence of yours. He asked a question, I don't believe his motive was to spread fear uncertainty and doubt.

[Sevir]

The game is fully playable in VR, but VR is not necessary! All they are saying is PSVR will be the only VR platform RE7 is available for an entire year.

The game will be available on PS4 and XBO day and date and will support PS4 Pro as well

[NXSwitch]

Well said

[trooper_]

When was this said? VR is a service, not a console.

[_-EDMIX-_]

Really? I thought by default it was already going to work on the Oculus Rift? I assumed anyway.

[cfc83]

Now you know why Resident Evil is 'free' with psn this month.

[ArchangelMike]

Well spotted.

[mogwaii]

I love the thought of this but in all seriousness i couldnt play it in vr and im sure it'll Be too much for plenty of other people too.
I cant WAIT for the youtube uploads of people freaking the F**k out while playing.

[DillyDilly]

Now Sony fans can NOT whine when Microsoft does this

[Eonjay]

Microsoft doesn't have a VR capable console on the market so it doest make a difference because you were never going to play this in VR on Xbox One anyway.

[G20WLY]

^Lol Scorpio is over a year away and you know nothing about it other than target specs. Do you mind if the rest of us enjoy games while you wait?

We can all talk silly: Xbox Scorpio is redundant, cos PS5. PS5 is redundant, cos Xbox Cancer. Xbox Cancer is redundant, cos PS6...Do you see? smh

[Kryptix]

When you're marked as Spam on N4G, it's because you have multiple accounts... I made a KryptixV2 once to reply to someone months ago. I wasn't hiding who I was.

So Birdfu, which one of these other trolling Xbox fanboys are you? lol Stop hiding, kid.

Quoting what's on the picture, "Resident Evil 7 biohazard coming in 2017 and exclusive to PlayStation VR for 12 months.” Only the VR part is. It doesn't say, coming in 2017 exclusively for PS VR. It's coming in 2017 (for all platforms) aand it's exclusive to PlayStation VR for 12 months. Wouldn't make any sense to have it on PS4, but locking out the non-VR way of playing it. Trust me, Capcom would get some much **** for it, especially when a long time ago, they did on disc locked DLC & that started their downfall.

If you can also currently play it without VR with the demo, then I don't see it as a PS4 VR only title. It's starting to make sense, isn't it...

[Saranya]

@Eonjay: He mean an exclusive deal.

[emad-E-three]

As if MS has a VR headset in the market!

[rainslacker]

Sure they can. Both sides whine back and forth whenever things like this come up. It's nothing new, and it's likely not going away anytime soon.

In any case, it won't affect Xbox fans, because they don't have a VR headset for at least another year anyhow. PC OR/Vive gamers might be annoyed. They can take it up with Capcom.

I mean, outside PC, this is like whining about all those early 360 games were timed exclusive back when PS3 wasn't scheduled to release for another year.

[Liqu1d]

Sure they can, as long as they hate it when both companies do it.

[Psychotica]

I will have lost interest in it on the Vive by the time that happens..

[StormLegend]

This just for VR so it's no big deal.I have a PS4 anyway so it's all good!

[GrimmyReaper]

Do they mean the VR function?
Or the actual game?

Either way, fuck you Sony. Why not spend that money in ACTUAL exclusives? >_>
Nobody is gonna buy a PS4 AND a PS Morpheus AND spend 60 bucks on Resident Evil

Just stop with these timed exclusives in general. They are annoying and extremely consumer unfriendly.

[akurtz]

Actual Exclusives? i wonder where you've been..

[GrimmyReaper]

Oh? Please explain?

This game is for PS4, XBO and PC. People have already shown they don't like timed exclusives. PS4 users didn't like it with the Tomb Raider game. And yes. ACTUAL exclusives. Games that are exclusive to PS consoles. Why bother with forking out money for timed exclusives when you can invest that in better service? Better online? Better PS+ offering? New IP exclusives? Improving exclusives being worked on right now?

[ziggurcat]

"Do they mean the VR function?
Or the actual game?"

it's pretty clear that the timed component is just the VR function. if you have no interest in VR, then you'll still be able to play the regular version on whatever system you prefer.

[Kaneki-Ken]

Dude, PlayStation have released more exclusives games overall this year than Xbox. They spend out money to attract player so the fan could chose the PS4 as their first choice Console just like Xbox did last generation with Xbox360 spending money on timed exclusive. This timed exclusive helped PlayStation with Destiny, Cod DLC timed exclusive since it brought youtuber gamers like Vanoss, H20 Delirious, more to buy the PS4 so they could play the DLC earlier . I can't speak of PC since PC is PC. PlayStation already show a lot Ip been work on GodOfWar, Spider-Man PS4, Horizon, Last Guardian, The Last Of Us 2, Days Gone, Dreams, more than haven't show yet so I don't know what you talking about that they not spending their money on new, sequel Ip. Online is improving slowly, 2 months straight with great Ps+ games, they delaying their games to improve it so stop talking as their aren't doing it. PS VR pre order is sold out so I believe people are interested in Ps VR.

[trooper_]

....You can still play the game without VR.

[PizzaSteve]

I hate these timed exclusive deals. No matter what platform it's on it just sucks. I blame MS for starting this trend.

[Chaos_Order]

Agreed. If a dev decides to make an exclusive off their own back or collaborate with another company for help on the game, that's fine. It can actually benefit the game itself. But timed exclusives are prepped and ready for multiplat release, and only stopped by a big fat paycheck. It's a disheartening business tactic.

[ziggurcat]

... it's just the VR component that's timed exclusive, so you don't need to be upset, especially if you're not actually interested in VR.

[PlayableGamez-]

Timed exclusives have been going long before xbox

[Kryptix]

Intrigue us by giving us examples. Games, I sure can't think of any and you can't just say because X game came out before X console, it had to be an obvious time exclusivity deal, said by the developers or the console handlers.

While we're at it, DLC timed exclusivity deals was started by Microsoft and made popular by them throughout last generation.

Regardless, not a fan of time exclusive deals by any side as it's nothing special & does nothing to benefit the gamer. Yay, I get to play this before those people! I don't care, I'm not a kid anymore. How about spend that money to make a real exclusive better and have extra content. 10mil is enough to add an extra chapter, another setting, secret areas... I'll even go for permanent exclusive content for a 3rd party game than just being able to play all the DLC 30 days earlier, which doesn't mean anything, really.

EDIT: Getting those disagrees without examples. Exactly. ^_^ Prove me wrong is what I asked and I'll acknowledge it & even say so. Don't just disagree with me because you want to. Reason why I came back is to see the list with proper quotes. Stay mute my homies. lol

[DillyDilly]

Sony started it not Microsoft look it up before blaming Microsoft

[Chaos_Order]

Well that f***ing sucks.

I want the game but have no interest in VR. Guess I won't be buying it for a long, long time.

[ziggurcat]

it's just the VR part that's timed exclusive, not the regular version of the game. if you wanted to play this on oculus or vive, you'll have to wait a year.

[Sevir]

You really need to learn how to read.... And comprehend... RE7 launches in January for PS4 XBO and PC.... the game supports VR but the only VR platform it will be available when it launches is PSVR

[S-Word]

This is yet another reason why VR is just another failed fad.

[G20WLY]

Wow. How exactly did this news bring you to that conclusion?

[ocelot07]

As much as I love the PSVR and will be getting one. I hate this exclusive crap. We want VR to be successful keeping games exclusive to one headset is noting going to help that.

[alfcrippinjr]

VR games is just a gimmick like everything else sony does

will fail with in two years.

[DafunkyRebel]

your mum is a gimmick, her greatest trick was giving birth to a clown

[Mr_Luke]

Leave him alone, he's just sad that his beloved Xbone hasn't VR. For those fanboys, as you can see from the comments, it's a hard hit. Poor them...

[alfcrippinjr]

you should go away troll and get ready for bed for school

[cyber_daemonx]

Nothing like kinect then.

Oh wait...

[Mr_Luke]

Wait, i thought they meant that the VR will be exclusive and then after 12 months it's going to be on Oculus and HTC Vive. Not that the game is exclusive to PSVR. Did i misunderstand something? Because if it's like that, i don't know why people are getting so upset

[Goldby]

its the VR part like you said.

and its more likely FUD happening right now to downplay that Sony has the VR exclusive for 1 year. funny thing is, if Sony pushes the VR hard this next year, MS should be thanking them as HTC and Rift haven't been as successful as some people have hoped.

[Saranya]

Buy for timed exclusive?

[boodi]

wtf

EDIT : ah ok got it , the vr version is exclusive to psvr
felt dumb to the VR world for a moment

[NXSwitch]

Lmao

[sho0ok]

Couple of missions as exclusive doesn't mean anything. Let them keep it.

[Roronoa0411]

…its the whole game.

[sho0ok]

Don't think so.... I think just some side missions.

[Goldby]

Well Sho0ok (rookie more likely)

The whole game is playable in VR, not just a few missions, you're confusing Tomb Raider with Resident Evil. its understandbale as they both have "R's" in them...

stop with the lies. you get to play the whole game come January on you're TV, we will get to play it in VR

[Roronoa0411]

@ sho0ok It's already been stated since the very beginning the whole game is playable in VR. Do some research.

[sho0ok]

Sorry guys my bad... Never thought the RE will have a full campian in VR. Thought it will be similar to previous games(3ps game).

[kevnb]

I think at this point they should have just let it go multiplatform,the xbox doesn't have any vr yet anyway.

[Cartman55125]

This game was notorious at E3 for making people sick. And not the good kind of "this is so scary I'm gonna be sick!" sick.

[Goldby]

ya 4 Months ago, and doesnt release until January.

Nohin to wory about

[Segata]

Then I will wait a year. Not getting any VR myself.

[King_Lothric]

Nice. Can't wait to play this game fully on VR. In the meantime? There They Lie is another horror launch title for PSVR. So getting it day 1.

PSVR is going to be my NerveGear.
