Set a few years after the horrifying events in the critically acclaimed Resident Evil 7 biohazard, the all-new storyline begins with Ethan Winters and his wife Mia living peacefully in a new location, free from their past nightmares. Just as they are building their new life together, tragedy befalls them once again. • First-Person Action – Players will assume the role of Ethan Winters and experience every up-close battle and terrifying pursuit through a first-person perspective. • Familiar Faces and New Foes – Chris Redfield has typically been a hero in the Resident Evil series, but his appearance in Resident Evil Village seemingly shrouds him in sinister motives. A host of new adversaries inhabiting the village will relentlessly hunt Ethan and hinder his every move as he attempts to make sense of the new nightmare he finds himself in.

1st percentile frame rate of 53fps in a short demo? Hopefully CerebralTiger can disable individual RT settings like Lighting, and keep RT reflections for a stable frame rate. :LOL:

Either way, my 3070 is ready 🤷‍♂️

See you soon on PC again hopefully with rtx 4060 ( I hope ) 😕

Based on Capcom's listed specs the 2070 will outperform the PS5/XSX as the RT mode is checkerboarded on both consoles, not native 4K. Infact, according to VG Tech, no mode does native 4K.

PS4 Pro in Prioritize Screen Resolution Mode, PS5 with Ray Tracing On and PS5 with Ray Tracing Off all render at a resolution of 3840x2160 using what appears to be Checkerboard Rendering.

It may be Checkerboard but it's one of the best implementations I've seen.
Pretty sharp and texture detail is maintained as well.

Adaptive triggers are subtle but amazing
It simulates stabbing enemies with knife whenever you use it to attack them
Pistol is very subtle as well but effective
Since shotgun is a heavier weapon, pressing L2 will simulate picking up heavy object and pressing trigger is different than pistol.

One of the best 3D Audio implementations here, period. Must play with good pair of headphones.

Lighting looks bland without RT and you have to go back in the main menu to change settings for RT.

I'll surely be playing it with RT on when it launches, they should Implement dynamic resolution to manage solid 60FPS during heavier scenes I didn't felt any drops but they're present according to VG Tech.

Ethan feels like a much better character now and has emotions, in RE7 they just wanted the player to be Ethan and to be in his shoes and that's a welcome departure for me.

Your initial impressions look extremely promising especially the dual sense implementation. I have only played a couple of games on the ps5 as of yet but astro's playroom really was a godsend and showed what the controller is capable of if the developers put in the right effort.

So apparently the RT for the game covers reflections, shadows and GI going by what people making comparisons are saying.

The demo only has one combat encounter and the PS5 can't hold up performance during that in RT mode.

Massive improvement over the 45 FPS confusion though lol.

Also, this is gonna be a big plus for Xbox with freesync/VRR. Sony really need to get on that update.

The 2 second load times are fantastic and this is the most ambitious console RT game yet, 4K (CB and whatnot) targeting 60 FPS. Even Miles Morales does 1440p/60 (granted its an open world game).

The ol' faithful PS4 Pro also pulling its weight in the 1080p/60 FPS mode. Should have just gone for a hard 30 FPS lock for the 4K mode there. Would have been much more consistent.

The PS4 version is also listed as "45fps" and dips as low as 38fps, so its quite possible there are RT scenarios in the full game where the frame rate on PS5 will drop below what we see here in the demo.

The second PS4/5 exclusive demo is now live. Just finished a run on the Pro.

I am legitimately surprised at how good it looks and performs on the Pro. Both happy and a bit sad, sad because it shows this game was developed with the PS4/XBO gen in mind. The next-gen versions probably gonna have RT as the only improvement over this, the textures etc will all look the same, that isn't to say it looks bad by any means. Like I said at the top, I am very surprised at how good it looked and performed on the Pro.

The GI on the 5th looks amazing in RT mode. I say it's worth the upgrade if you have both the machines presently.
