    Even with the reduction in graphical fidelity and the controller shortcomings, I still found LoFVR compelling to replay after five years from having played the original. The story is pretty good, but moreover I really liked the ever-changing mansion and Twilight Zone weirdness of it all. That kind of atmosphere and design lend themselves well to VR play, and to that end the game is interesting on PSVR, despite its shortcomings. Plus, at only $20, LoFVR is relatively light on the wallet for a few hours of spooky VR.

    The version for PSVR offers light and shadow: While the immersion is greatly enhanced by VR, visuals and controls had to bite the bullet and make hurtful compromises.

    I just wish it did a better job of fully realising the possibilities of virtual reality. Layers of Fear VR manages to ramp up the terror and intensity thanks to the sensory overload and isolation inherent in the medium, but it’s held back by awkward controls that serve as a constant distraction and detract from the atmosphere that the original game did such a good job of creating. Layers of Fear is a riveting piece of psychological horror, but the VR version falls short.

    The story and treatment of its themes hasn’t aged well, but the shocks land and the sense of being lost in a haunted mansion offers a palpable sense of isolation. [Issue#2, p.77]

Die grafische Limitation ist hier einfach zu hoch. Aufgrund der sehr niedrigen Weitsicht fallen mir einige Szenen deutlich negativ auf. Ich bezweifle, dass es mit der Ps4 VR Power nicht möglich gewesen wäre. Klar muss man deutliche Abstriche machen, aber hier sind es einfach zu viele.… Expand
