You can get a bone necklace but no one seems to know what it does...yet.

There's apparently an all platform demo coming later. Whereas this one seems to be referred to a 'visual showcase'... But my money would be on the necklace unlocking... Something

What ye guys prefer RE7 or RE2/3 Remakes?

IMO 7 is the best, if played in VR. If played in standard crappy reality its about as good as the other 2.

Really good demo. Sound was unreal using the pulse 3d headset and virtual surround setting in audio options. Creepy as hell in the dungeon

25-01-2021 12:18pm

I thought the graphics in the initial dungeon were not great, the stone walls etc were very blocky. Didn't really look any better than RE7. As you push on it starts to look way better - there's one candle-lit stairway where the lighting looks amazing. Then you get into the house proper with all the gilding everywhere - it looks very impressive.

None of the streams or youtube videos will do it justice, they all look pretty washed out, nothing like how it actually looks (on a HDR TV).

One of the voice actors for the game has sadly passed away following a battle with colon cancer. Jeanette Maus was only 39 - IGN

Ah ****, I wonder if she voiced the witch you meet in the demo, can't find the credits for it.

**** cancer

Rob2D · 28-01-2021 5:19pm

She's the blondie witch with the necklace.

johnny_ultimate · 02-02-2021 2:38am

The contrast between this delightful, kind message from the developer and the fact that it’s all about an evil giant vampire lady is deeply amusing and charming.

I had to unfollow the RE subreddit due to everyone pulling the plums off themselves over drawings and cosplay of her. Christ I don't even want to play the game now.

Mr Crispy · 29-03-2021 11:47am

And of course, a life-sized Lady D is being used for instore promotion.

Replace 'RE' with just about any game featuring female characters and that's reddit gaming in a nutshell. Always found reddit game subs to be some of the most nauseatingly immature forums online.

Mr Crispy · 02-04-2021 10:41pm

I couldn't remember whether or not Capcom had confirmed that the game would be coming to last gen, but they must have.... IGN have footage of it running on the PS4 Pro;

They'd talked about a demo for all platforms coming out, anyone seen anything about when this would be, given we're just over a month to go before launch?

Haven't heard anything since January, when the original demo came out.

Mr Crispy · 08-04-2021 12:45pm

There's another Resi showcase scheduled for the 15th of this month. It'll include a new trailer for Village, although I think I'll now avoid watching anything new personally.

I'd say there's a decent chance of the 2nd demo released after this, going by previous form

MP1st (never heard of them before now) are claiming it's ready to rock'n'roll, alright.

Mr Crispy · 13-04-2021 4:07pm

Another titbit from Dust Golem. Not a story spoiler, but I'll hide it just in case some of you want everything to be a surprise.

There's allegedly going to be an unlockable ultra hard mode with randomised weapons/enemies etc.

Jordan 199 · 13-04-2021 8:33pm

Game is €59.99 including postage for Xbox, PS4 and PS5 at Smyths at the moment.

I'm fairly sure i just checked that yesterday and it was 70. 60 is a great price.

Yeah, 60 is a great price. Pre-ordered a copy for my Xbox this morning.

Markitron · 14-04-2021 8:56am

I have it pre-ordered for €70 on PS5, Smyths as well. Is it cheaper anywhere?

Edit: Just cancelled my €70 order and re-ordered it for €60. Nice.

I'm not big on hunting mechanics in games. Usually get boring quickly, hopefully won't distract too much from resi goodness and at least the upgrades can be permanent.

B.A._Baracus · 15-04-2021 7:15pm

Demo should be up on ps4 / Xbox one tonight.

Zero-Cool · 15-04-2021 11:09pm

New Demo out 2nd May in europe where you get 1 hour and can choose village or castle to play. PlayStation gets it early.

It's actually very ****ing confusing, not sure if there's an exact payable time or you can download it and play when you want.

Predownload the demo tonight.

Mr Crispy · 15-04-2021 11:11pm

Mercenaries coming back!

Zero-Cool · 16-04-2021 12:19am

Downloading the demo but not sure if I'll play it, might just wait for the full release. Still confused about demo schedule. It says 8 hours for PlayStation but i thought you get 1 hour playtime. Capcom certainly like to complicate things.

I'm probably way off, but the impression I got was that you'll be able to play for one hour, but that hour has to happen during an eight hour window. And you can get an extra 30 mins in each location if you're on PS? As you say, complicated!

Markitron · 16-04-2021 9:36am

I'm not playing the demo, seen enough to know that I'm buying it day 1. Glad that Capcom still bother to make demos though.

panevthe3rd · 16-04-2021 10:27am

It seems obvious in the trailer but is never outright said but is

Chris a werewolf?

Yeah, that's what it's looking like alright. Wouldn't mind a quick tear through Resi 7 for a reminder on Ethan and Mia. I was hoping a next gen update would be released by now as was rumoured.

Yea I'm the same, think I might just play it anyway. On the plus side it already runs at 60 FPS at higher than 1080p res, so it is not like it was crying out for one.

Mr Crispy · 16-04-2021 4:35pm

johnny_ultimate · 16-04-2021 4:38pm

45 FPS is a very odd frame rate to advertise - kudos on the honesty, I guess! Although another good case for VRR support please Sony!

super_furry · 16-04-2021 4:51pm

1080p 60FPS for One X - still not seeing any reason to upgrade to either of the new consoles this year.

I'm not sure if PSVR is on their crosshairs.

Resident Evil Biohazard remains a PSVR exclusive to this day, so it may stay as a Quest 2 Exclusive unless they've changed their strategy!

Would be nice to see it on more VR platforms though.

I'm gonna pass on the demo and wait for the full release. Pity the demo didn't include mercenaries, wouldn't mind giving that a lash.

mando212 · 19-04-2021 12:13am

Gave the demo a spin on PS5, disabled ray tracing as I never cared for it. Looks fantastic, RE engine never fails to impress. Managed to finish it with a few minutes to spare.

Will skip the castle demo next weekend and wait for release.

JimBurnley · 19-04-2021 1:02am

Demo looks great but for some reason the gameplay didn't grab me. Can't put my finger on it. Think I preferred the castle atmosphere seen in the Maiden demo. Was on the fence on getting this day one so likely to leave till later in the year now and a price drop

El Gato De Negocios · 20-04-2021 9:18am

Won't bother with the demo but I preordered from Smyths for €60. Wouldn't usually be a day 1 buyer but there are slim pickings at the moment that show of the 5's capabilities.

It is weird. Unless they are performing some kind of technical voodoo it effectively means 30 FPS stable or 45 FPS unstable with tearing.

Retr0gamer · 20-04-2021 4:36pm

Digital Foundry has explained what it means.

No technical wizardry.

The game runs an unlocked frame rate so with RT on it runs at 60 with drops to around 50. So you'll get lovely screen tearing.

For those on Xbox VRR should handle that. The worse case scenario for VRR ranges on TVs is 48-60 for 4K and I have seen some newer TVs go from 30 - 120 on 4K.

My TV can do 48-60, so VRR should sort out the RT mode for me.

Xbox can handle 1440p as well, I know my TV in that mode can do VRR up to 30-120 VRR.

So getting this on Xbox.

BeerWolf · 21-04-2021 6:50am

Do these demos provide a completion bonus that'd carry forth into the full game like back in RE7 with the rusty coin?

I didn't see any screen tearing, did you mean judder?

They haven't said anything, and there is nothing in the demo to suggest it, but there is still another demo to go so I wouldn't rule it out.
