Someone at Capcom was apparently a big fan of Control's Threshold Kids.

@EternalBlizzard What do you think was the intention here?

So Necrokiller's finally getting the opportunity to play the demo? The thirst is clearly very real

Or Capcom just discovered The Fiend's firefly funhouse lol.

Why not? The switch to first person perspective for the franchise was a great choice as far as I'm concerned.

Found what CerebralTiger was looking for

 

[Necrokiller]

Demo runs silky smooth with everything maxed including RT effects at High (Low/Mid/High settings). Didn't have time to check which settings affect the fps most. Village outdoor sections seem most demanding. Castle demo runs at 100fps+ most of the time.

Native ultrawide support was a nice surprise. Variable Rate Shading is also supported but I had it switched off.

Not as scary or tense as RE7 but the atmosphere is pretty good nonetheless. Feels more action oriented.

Played a few rounds on the SX. Great stuff, but there is some real issue with the analog deadzones, people are pointing it out on Era as well and it can be fixed a bit by disabling all aim acceleration, but its still damn near impossible to turn the analog in a proper circle.

Other than that, great stuff. VRR helping out with any performance dips that my naked eye can't perceive.

The output screens come out way too dark, but the game looks better on the screen when I'm playing it using the in-game brightness calibrations. Not sure why that is.

God dayumm Necro....that ultrawide goodness

Wait, when did I ask for the option to disable specific RT settings? I'll just turn the darn thing off and be done with it

So, the timer can be reset on PC and I tested this area. The difference here is vastly exaggerated. The calibrations seem weird in both of these screenshots.

This is what I got at the exact same calibrations while toggling RT.

 

[Chandoo]

The brightness calibration in the RE engine games is always incredibly finicky. You can see the two screens I've posted also come out very dark, but they seemed pretty normal and clearly visible when I was playing.

NXGamer's video probably had same kind of issues.

I had a hard time aiming with the gun, missed all my bullets!

Game feels like RE 4. Also, I like how Ethan sounds very animated & expressive.

I didn't see any option for third person camera. This would be ideal in 3rd person for me.

Graphics are ok if a little muted/dim on the 5th in RT HDR.

 

[Chandoo]

Good show all around, Series S's RT mode is best avoided looking at those drops.

PS5/SX 2160p
SS 1440p

PS5 has faster loads, Series X has less drops in RT mode.

VGTech Stats

 

[CerebralTiger]

Good guy VG Tech always bringing them detailed stats

A difference of 2fps in 5th percentile frame rate vs a difference of 2TF between the PS5 and Series X's GPUs' peak performance. Not bad, not bad at all.

Also (since Necrokiller likes quoting Reset Era posts lol):

 

[Necrokiller]

All those marketing deals and demo exclusivity deals and it performs better on Series X? Yikes!
