Resident Evil 4 for Quest 2 gets The Mercenaries, for free

Announced today at the Meta Quest gaming showcase, beloved minigame 'The Mercenaries' is finally playable in the Quest 2 port of Resident Evil 4. Better yet, not only is the wave-based mode available free of charge to existing owners of the game as of today, but it comes with a host of brand new challenges and features too.

Armature Studio has rebuilt The Mercenaries for the Quest 2, with what appears to be the same care and attention it gave its VR port of the base game. The developer has also improved on the base experience by introducing things like online leaderboards, allowing you to compare your scores with other players around the world.

20 new challenges include the likes of 'Wild West', which sees you face off swarms of Ganados while dual wielding two appropriately themed six shooters. However, if you're after something with a bit more of a scare factor then 'The Cover of Night' should pique your interest, complete with appearances from the game's terrifying Regenerador enemies.

Capcom 'resolves' lawsuit over images used in Resident Evil 4

What's less common is a copyright dispute where your jaw drops at the resemblance between dozens of textures in a major game look and the photographs in an art photography book...

Resident Evil 4 remake needs to improve the story, says Mikami, mainly because we only had a fortnight to write it

Resident Evil 4, developed by Capcom's production studio and directed by Shinji Mikami, is almost more than a classic gaming title: It's the game so good that the industry can't stop remaking it. Whether that's fan mods that re-trace the developer's real-world steps to improve the wall textures, Meta investing in a VR version as one of its flagship titles, or the persistent rumour of Capcom's own impending remake, special agent Leon S. Kennedy's adventure somehow continues to stay vital and present 17 years after its release...

Armature Studios enhances Resident Evil 4 VR on Oculus Quest 2

Virtual reality boasts many virtues, and Resident Evil 4's VR resurrection gives one of the best horror games a second wind. Since its release, fans of the series have been embracing Capcom and Armature Studios' bananas approach to survival gameplay, and the game's first post-launch update comes with a bunch of comfortable tweaks.

Rather than adding new content to Resident Evil 4 on the Oculus Quest 2, Armature Studios' first overhaul focuses on mobility, comfort, and enhanced gameplay. For starters, you can now steer protagonist Leon Kennedy using hand movements, and players can reassign movement to either the left or right controller.

The Quest 4 version of Resident Evil 4 is now also more accessible, as you can now adjust waist and chest height parameters to suit your personal needs. The update also reintroduces the ability to change your laser sight colour, something that is possible in other PC versions of the game via modding.
