Sorry for not posting in a while, there’s two reasons: First lemmur app isn’t working and hasn’t been updated (which would fix it) and i was a bit burnt out from writing content.

So Anyway; I was at college last week for enrichment week where we got to play with several different consoles ranging in age from Ps5 to N64, and a VR Headset (Quest i think) which i played on.

I got to play Resident Evil 4 (VR) for around 45 minutes which was long enough to get to the first large combat encounter.

    **"mOtIOn SicKnEss for 5 seconds"**

So when i first started moving around using the new interface it was very forgein to me and took me 9 minutes for my brain to learn that i’m not moving it’s just the game. The tutorial was hyper intuitive and i learnt it instantly. (W game deisgn)
(By the first large encounter i was learning on the desk in the picture so i didn’t get distracted by the MotIon sIcknEss i.e losing balance.)

             **The 3 Noticables**

  • So i was into the game and the first thing that stood out to me was how unfocused the headsets’ screen was (it was another students headset) which made it hard to focus on anything that wasn’t in one very specific part of the screen. - And the second thing that i noticed was how well the enviromental sound was done as it kept me on the edge expecting a jumpscare at when ever i entered the first building. This was surprsing as the sound was using the inbuilt speakers on the headset.

  • The third and final thing is that the shotgun was unaturally hard to reload, you had to exaderate the pumping movement making it hard to use; and it was a pain to use in the large encounter as when it ran out of slugs you had to kyte the enemies and reload at the same time, but you just get overwhelmed and die.

            **Bonus Paragraph**

The Teachers Had So Much Fun.
Like they were having more fun than some of the students were, it was like i played with the headset for 30-40 minutes, and then the teachers took it and were like losing balance, lauging, and recording each other using it, it was a blast tbh and i think the teachers would put on another enrichment week just for themselves (students included : ) )
Yes those are gas taps never used them tho, maybe for the final practical i have i’ll use them.
