Managed to get this pre-ordered sometime last year for $33 so it'll be pretty difficult to disappoint me but I hope it's better than the RE3make.

First impressions on PC are positive. Game looks great maxed out, 4K/120FPS/HDR with ray tracing enabled on my 4090 without any upscaling. Disappointed by no DLSS support. Only FSR but there's that mod for other REngine games that converts FSR->DLSS so that'll probably be updated soon, assuming it doesn't work already. Nothing specifically stating Dolby Atmos support but 3D Audio is enabled and speaker orientation is customizable. Some weird mouse acceleration going on which is annoying in the menus but in gameplay it feels fine.

Turns out the FSR->DLSS conversion mod worked in the demo so I'll go ahead and try that in the full game.

Jesus christ that's some faggy shit. Get some taste you wastrel



Pretend to be the ultimate Jill simp when you've not even played the original 1 & 3.

Code Ceronica marked the franchise's move towards hollywood style action films. Yeah it was a clunky transition being the first and all but I feel like you're shitting on it a bit too harshly. For me it still retained the old resi evil feel I loved.

Also fuck you I played the originals when they were new. Code Veronica was the one I played way late because I never owned a dreamcast.

In 2000? Hollywood action films were still pretty good and tasteful at that time, no Resident Evil game captures that particular brand of glory, it is laughable to suggest otherwise. The Matrix had just come out. The Mummy. The Fifth Element. Starship Troopers. Blade. Men in Black. Rush Hour. True Lies. The World is Not Enough.

The cinematic qualities and nuances of Resident Evil fell off a fucking cliff with Code Veronica and still to date has not recovered. It is RE1 2 & 3 originals that are the cinematic masterpieces of the franchise, and they did so in their own unique innovative style as can be seen in the video I posted above.

I still haven't played the original RE1. It's a pretty sizable gap in my gaming catalog. I'll get around to it soon.

Doesn't work in the full game yet, it crashes. The mod author says he's working on an update.

Atmosphere's ruined.
Disastrous and literally gay advertising campaign.
No discernable improvements over the old besides corporate-standard graphical enhancements.
Shits on the legacy of a constantly shit-on franchise.

Yep, it's a Capcom game. Stunning how the RE2 remake had genuinely great scary atmosphere in a lot of its levels, then they said fuck it with 3 and 4's remakes.

Me reading the butthurt. Can't say much about the original atmosphere or the cut content other than the so-called "enhancements" are meager compared to what was cut. The free roaming to get more treasure to sell to the merchant is a side distraction to add more hours to the game. I don't know how much is cut from the game.
