At the EB Expo in Sydney I got to try out Capcom’s exclusive Resident Evil 7 “Lantern Demo” on PlayStation VR. The experience completely allayed my fears regarding the PSVR’s capabilities. Continue reading Resident Evil 7 “Lantern Demo” PlayStation VR hands-on
Whilst at the recent EB Expo in Sydney, I was was treated to an extended hands-on preview of Dishonored 2.
