Legit some of the best enemy/encounter design in RE history, they delivered ALL the goods

 

[SolidQ]

This is PC???? Why is it so blurry?

because path tracing mode blurred compare to RT/non RT

 

[Power Pro]

Is there a lore reason why I want to bang Grace's mom?

She was the hottest character in RE Outbreak, so it makes sense.

 

[saintjules]

man if the amazon guy doesnt deliver my shit in the morning I'ma fucking hunt that nigga down and his entire family and slap every single one of them. on god.

Jeff Bezos can get it too. Fix your fucking shit man.

Your mistake was getting this on Amazon. I'll never touch them for gaming related content.

 

[saintjules]

Plus all the console versions are mostly sold out on all major retailers.

This is why it's good to pre-order

This guy needs a hug

What's the general consensus on playing Grace's sections in third person? Does it ruin it?

Not for me it doesn't

Im only at the beginning but this is so good so far. On my 5070ti PC maxed out with PT at 1440p, DLSS4 quality and 2x framegen im getting 110-130 fps. It looks and runs incredible

 

[Rran]

How are the jump scares in this? I love RE but always dread jump scares.

 

[Luipadre]

Ok just did the first Leon section... WTF. This is the best feeling combat in any RE game, it just feels incredible and Leon is so fucking badass my god. Why this game doesnt have a merc or raid mode WHY capcom?!

Anyway... back to the game

Yes it is. Like I said before, its even better than Re4 Remake. The upgrade its insane

 

[Giallo Corsa]

I thought you said it was to expensive.... And was going to wait.

I'm an impatient muhfuggah with zero restraint plus, since joining GAF, my FOMO has skyrocketed.

The struggle is real

Absolutely not, don't fall for the hype/marketing.

Again, this is RE, not Outlast

 

[metareferential]

Finally downloading on pc! It's my first hyped game in a loooooong ass time. Sucks to be old xD

I say this for every new release lol..

 

[Gonzito]

My only complaint so far is the lack of FOV

I am playing with Grace in first person view and I am struggling to see around.

I don't understand Capcom

 

[Giallo Corsa]

The visuals are insane on PS5 Pro with OLED TV. HOLY FUCKING SHIT BALLS

It all looks so crisp. Lighting, shadows, textures. Everything feels so realistic. The gore and atmosphere too it all feels very next gen.

I've barely got a few hours in but dare I say I'm enjoying it more than the RE2 / 4 remakes? Yes.

...wait, i meant to say

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

CAPCOM have struck a perfect balance where Grace sections are filled with tension what with more limited resources, inventory management, not as capable (her hands shaking when aiming such a cool touch) and Leon's sections being invigorating with sublime action (some of those execution animations, good Lord!), huge inventory, a wise-cracking killer who is a veteran of this zombie rodeo. Nearing 7 hours clocked, my expectations were high but damn if they aren't being met (and even exceeded).

I've said many times in the past that people would do well to go on media blackout for games they are really interested in and planning on buying day 1. I don't know how much the trailers spoiled but for me *everything* is a surprise and that's the way it should be, can't wait to see what the game throws at me next!

 

[DavidGzz]

When old people like me say that the best gaming days are behind us a new game comes (usually from Capgods) and reminds me they are still ahead. Now hopefully Crimson Desert gives me another reason to say that next month.

Spoiler: Early game enemy attacks

Anyone else impressed and also surprised af when an enemy uses an object in front of them as a torpedo to knock your ass out? I'm liking the A.I. in this game.

 

[Gonzito]

This is GOTY material

 

[Nankatsu]

Plot Twist: we're getting the game today boys.

 

[Luipadre]

Done with the first 2 hours or so. Impeccable pacing so far and im loving the back and forth between grace and leon. Incredible game. Looks so fucking good, runs well and the combat is the best its ever been. Also who was the guy who said the gore is toned down lol

 

[TexMex]

Ehh. Graphics are ok. Nothing groundbreaking. Feels a little PS4/Xbone

You are either delusional, trolling or both if you think a PS4 is producing this image at this level of fidelity.

 

[Gonzito]

I really encourage everyone to play on classic mode with ink ribbons. There is even a gameplay mechanic involving getting ink ribbons that is really cool and the game has much more tension as a result, not only for the survival consequences but item management too

 

[TheTurboFD]

Anyway... back to the game

Just did this part and holy shit. Great intro for him. I wish RE4Remake felt like this My only gripe I have so far is Leon can't outrun the zombies? Tried running past them but they caught up super quick and always grabbed me from behind.

 

[zeroluck]

Played for about 1.5 hour, going to wait for mod to allow switching between first/third person camera via a hotkey before I continue.

 

[Jesb]

The game is so good that it's also a bit of a disservice to not have some form of online mode. A Mercs or Raid mode or something for this killer combat system would've been crazy.

 

[Revolutionary]

So there's a clear advantage to playing in third person as Grace: its easier to avoid lunging enemies because you can run backwards. But for immersion's sake I'm going to stick to first person for my first playthrough.

 

[Krathoon]

Yeah. Leon needs a hug. lol.

 

[Judge Magister]

I was waiting for the Launch trailer but it's just a short version of the 4th trailer.
I updated Sherry Birkin photo anyway but i was expecting them to reveal her face and add her to the official site.
Reminded me when i did MGS3Δ OT and Granin was the only main character render they didn't upload.

 

[Phobos Base]

Just opened my steelbook but it has 2 codes for Grace's apocalypse costume and nothing else. That can't be right?

 

[Deerock71]

I'm feeling an internet outage coming on for my job. *winkwink* I might have to knock off early...

 

[Von Hugh]

Possibly saw an AI generated texture on these bottles. But this is the only one so far. Or maybe that's a label off a real product, and they just wanted to scramble that.

 

[adamsapple]

Let's goooooo

Crotch bros !

 

[fallingdove]

You are either delusional, trolling or both if you think a PS4 is producing this image at this level of fidelity.

Most of my issues come from the character models. The facial animations are basic. The skin, eyes, and teeth are waxy. Limited cloth physics. Ancient hair tech. Cinematography within cutscenes are straight out Devil May Cry 4.

There is some cool stuff happening in the environment and with particle effects in the well lit hotel and city sections but a lot of that is fleeting when you are thrown back into pitch black environments with very little going on.

A lot of this may also be the result of director choice. Koshi Nakanishi seems much more interested in environment and atmosphere than character models. This is immediately noticeable when comparing RE7,8,9 to the remake games.

 

[adamsapple]

The lenticular slide that comes with the Deluxe box is numbered and limited.

 

[808mate]

Holy. This is a great looking game.

 

[TheTurboFD]

Ngl , Leon's default Sig/glock/1911 crossover gun looks sick af

 

[adamsapple]

Alright papitos I am gone for a few hours now.

The opening alone is incredibly atmospheric, like playing a living breathing version of Se7en.

Have fun everyone!

 

[Jesb]

Please tell me we can do a playthrough with an unlimited requiem gun.

 

[GymWolf]

I need some feedback on the dolly face sections.

Does she always run from enemies and hide or she play like old school re where you have limited bullets but you decide when to run away and when to fight, without the game deciding when it's fight time or hide time.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Don't know what this other fool is smoking but the DualSense haptics are genuinely great. From simulating rainfall, grinding metallic doors, bolt action on a sniper rifle, thundering footsteps of a certain beast etc

Also, can't believe what just happened to one of the characters...lol

Edit: alright, looks like I hit the halfway point, can't stop playing

Already answered by multiple people, after her initial chapter it settles into classic RE.

 

[Auto_aim1]

That basement power area is frustrating. Let me explore in peace damnit

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

how does this look on a base ps5?

I think it looks great, can't directly compare to anything though.

It's classic Resident Evil, low ammo, backtracking, managing inventory and resources etc. Its very well done

Jump in papito, the game is great

Holy shit, carnage lol. Leon is back
