People get scared very easily. Usually it just takes a sudden noise or movement that wasn’t expected. For years gamers have hidden behind their controllers as nasty creatures stalked them in virtual worlds, all the time having the real world visible all around them. There’s only so scared you can get when you can glance away from the TV screen to see your pet poodle ‘grooming’ itself at the foot of your bed. VR is the next step in immersive horror experiences.

Luckily for Resident Evil fans, Resident Evil 7 is one of the first big budget releases to take full advantage of Sony’s PlayStation VR headset. Strap on the sci-fi goggles (pay the £350 to a retailer first if you don’t already own PlayStation VR), then sit back and prepare some new underwear. If you thought games were scary when played on your TV, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

On second thought, prepare the new underwear before you put the PlayStation VR headset on. It’s awfully tricky to do anything with that strapped to your face.
