Notably, early players, such as YouTuber \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@BeardoBenjo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Beardo Benjo<\/a>\u2018, liken it to a \u201cfirst pass.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Praydog has developed their mod suite to work with all games running on the RE Engine, so it\u2019s likely the\u00a0Requiem\u00a0mod will see a fair amount of tweaking in the coming days. It\u2019s still probably best to wait if you plan on playing it from start to finish in VR though.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s pretty basic for now, essentially only allowing you to play in first-person VR without much more VR-native considerations made, including menus, motion controls, or immersive affordances for cutscenes. Provided Praydog smooths out those issues, like they did with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roadtovr.com\/resident-evil-7-8-pc-vr-mod\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Resident Evil Village (2021) and <\/a>Resident Evil 7 (2017),\u00a0it stands to become the most immersive RE game to date.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, you can nab the mod for free over on Praydog\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/praydog\/reframework-nightly\/releases\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">RE Framework GitHub<\/a>\u00a0and following along with all of the nightly updates too.
