UPDATE 3.15pm UK: Oculus has now provided the following statement on changes to its Resident Evil 4 VR version:
“Oculus Studios, Armature, and Capcom partnered closely to remaster Resident Evil 4 from the ground up for VR,” a Facebook spokesperson told Eurogamer today. “This includes immersive environments and high-resolution graphics. It also includes select changes to in-game dialogue and animations that we believe will update Resident Evil 4 for a modern audience.”
Eurogamer also understands that the animation which played when players attempted to look up Ashley’s skirt in the original game has also been removed.
ORIGINAL STORY 2.30pm UK: The new Oculus Quest 2 version of Resident Evil 4 includes a number of dialogue edits to Capcom’s survival horror classic.
Several lines of speech have been trimmed to remove flirting by hero Leon S. Kennedy directed at US government agent Hannigan. Some are fairly innocuous edits, though it’s easy to see where they happen as they’re disguised by static on Leon’s video communications device.
