We went hands-on with Resident Evil Requiem - the high-end experience running with path-tracing on RTX 5090.

[Black_Stride]

Finally fixing most of the visual issues with engine.

 

[blastprocessor]

Wow really looks stunning. Probably the best demo of Path tracing seen.

 

[Flabagast]

Looks fucking gorgeous

 

[Matt_Fox]

The way the red light in the hallway and the white light from the cigarette lighter blend and illuminate her hair and skin. Wow!

 

[ecosse_011172]

That's the kind of thing that could tempt me into being a PCMR clown again....

How to fix a shitty engine:

 

[GrayChild]

I can't believe how dated RE2 remake looks compared to Requiem on PC. Just 6 years ago, it was one of the biggest lookers on any platform.

6 years and 8 months. That's an entire console generation.

 

[Roman Empire]

Oh, so they finally finished path tracing implementation. I tried with Dragon's Dogma 2 but it has some weird glitches especially at night if you don't have any light source on you. Now, this does look gorgeous.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Clown?

He's coping

 

[acm2000]

lighting incredible with path tracing, now if only they would fix the textures and material shaders to make it look less gamey

 

[Bojji]

??? The RE Engine isn't shit.

I replayed RE2 and 3 on PS5 Pro and games look excellent with RT lightning and reflections. 10/10 HDR in RE3 as well (RE2 is washed out). I also replayed RE4 on PC and it still looks very good but lighting isn't so great without RT solution...

Turd like Monster Hunter is why people think that engine is shit but it just sucks for open world games.

 

[ecosse_011172]

Clown?

Yep, me preparing to feel superior to consoles because I have an expensive RIG:

Yeah, it works wonderfully for the games it was made for, not fucking open/semi open world games with huge areas, tons of wildlife, and CPU-driven interactions.

True, Donkey Kong was only 44 years ago, I can't believe how dated it looks compared to Donkey Kong Bananza.

It's no From Software engine, but the performance of Monster Hunter Wilds and Dragons Dogma 2 is awful given the visuals on display.

 

[Bojji]

It's not that, some console fanboys are just retarded and think that their 700$ consoles are better than 1000$+ PCs. You can see every PC thread with someone like that.

PC is objectivity superior in most aspects (not all of them).

All fanboys are retarded.
Also, FTFY.
PCMR types need not get their panties in a twist, my point is that visual advances like that could make me join them (for shame).

 

[GrayChild]

6 years and 8 months. That's an entire console generation.

Not that much, considering:

- RE2 got a beefy next-gen upgrade with RT (plus DX12 rendering only on PC).
- Most of the games this gen generally don't look THAT much better than the previous gen.
- Open-world or not, some of the recent current-gen RE engine games like Wilds and DD2 looked... underwhelming.

Yea, you can't just start throwing giant open worlds at an engine tailor-made for Resident Evil. This isn't the first time we've seen such a thing happen and it won't be the last.

The engine is great for what it was designed for.

 

[thief183]

So again to accommodate a 3rd person view we have 6 metres tall corridors... it is something that ones you noticed it is hounting you forever.

Well it's true that if you have a top of the line pc you beat a console that's the whole point

 

[The Cockatrice]

You dont even need a top of the line PC to beat consoles.

I did not want him to feel inferior hahahah

[BennyBlanco]

Really good illustration here of the outdated and retarded ideas console fanboys have about PC gaming. Countless hours lmao. Modern PCs snap together like Legos.

 

[ecosse_011172]

no they don't.
Don't go pretending that windows , drivers etc never cause problems either

 

[rodrigolfp]

All fanboys are retarded.

True, but some are more than others.

 

[BennyBlanco]

no they don't.

You literally only need a screwdriver to mount the motherboard and CPU nowadays if you have a good case. If you are spending COUNTLESS HOURS to turn 10 screws and run a handful of wires, yea you should stick to consoles and probably rode the little bus to school.

 

[rodrigolfp]

no they don't.

Much less problems than crap resolutions/IQs, framerates, controls, etc etc consoles cause.

 

[ecosse_011172]

Sure.

Anyway, consoles and PCs are great in different ways and have different pros and cons, pretending otherwise is just claptrap so we shouldn't do this.

The only thing "great" in console for me is some exclusive game. I just got a Switch 2 for Mario Kart World and some future exclusives to play handheld.

 

[Bojji]

Yeah, they can but consoles aren't really hassle free like they were back in the day. Depending on the internet speeds you can wait hours for game installs and OS, game updates when setting new consoles up.

Even controllers have patches now!

 

[viveks86]

PURRRDY!

I will never get to experience it this gen as a console peasant, but hopefully they release an update for next gen!

They're still less hassle than PCs.
Consoles - less hassle, easier, less powerful, cheaper to buy.
PCs - more hassle, more powerful, more expensive to buy but games are cheaper.

That's it, there's nothing to fight over.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Consoles - less hassle

For you maybe, if you don't consider stuff like this a hassle:

Is that a clip from an unreleased game?

Keep fighting the Master Race wars my friend, you'll "win".

Released, Wuchang.

Wuchang, mate.

There are Master Race wars in your head only. These hassles are just facts.

 

[PurePlatinum]

I swear every few years when new GPUs come out, the definition of what constitutes "real ray-tracing" changes, in order to sell people more GPUs. Meanwhile DS2 is probably the best looking game ever made and it has no ray-tracing at all.

Looks nice though.

 

[ecosse_011172]

Ah, you cherry-picked one mediocre game that is a technical mess.

It's not, far from it.

Mate, there are gazillions of console games stuck with low resolutions frame rates, crap upscalling, etc.That was just a example.

 

[ecosse_011172]

And there are plenty of shitty PC ports that are an unoptimised mess.

You would think that, with gaming PCs being so perfect, the master race would just sit smugly, enjoying it rather than posting endlessly about how shit consoles are.

Properly cringeworthy.
The clip in this thread makes me feel like overhauling my PC, people like you lot make me want never to go near it again.

Don't get me wrong, DS2 is a great-looking game, but this entire comment is comical.

Yes, but almost all shitty ports are still better than the best console version.

No one said PC gaming is perfect. Far from it. It's just in your head.
