Just a heads up that unless they seriously optimized the alpha effects/cutscenes or reduced the settings a lot that it won't be running at native 4K@60hz without dropping heavily during cutscenes and just during some areas in general. So "native 4K60" is very optimistic at best imo, don't get your hopes up.
I say this because I spent a million years trying to get it working at 4K@60hz on my GTX 1080 at optimized settings, if you completely turn off SSR and DoF you can get 4K60 in gameplay a lot of the time but cutscenes will crash down to the late 30s during the most epic cutscene moments. Need to go down to 1440p@60hz to get it 99% locked and even then it drops during the best scenes which sucks.
I ended up locking to 30hz for my native 4K playthrough because thats the only way to stop it dropping even with every trick in the book to avoid it. I predict 1800p60hz at best and it will still have big sudden drops during the alpha-heavy close-ups in cutscenes unless they have seriously reworked it and lets be honest they almost definitely won't have done that sort of work, because they don't care much about framerate drops during gameplay, let alone in cutscenes.
Unless its just some PC version bullshit and the console version doesn't have those bottlenecks.

Best thing is that you can't really tell if it's meant to be serious or not.

Time to finally platinum RE7, 2 and 3 will get another replay as well. Thanks Capcom, I never lost faith that you guys were the true goats!

Terrific news! I recently did a couple of playthroughs of RE2 on the Series X, and already thought it was pretty terrific. Can't wait to see some footage of these improvements.
Also, I love that this is a free upgrade, instead of the US$10.00 upgrade Sony charges to bump up the resolution and framerate.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
RT reflections should fix that right up.

I have completed them all multiple times and I was looking for an excuse to complete them multiple times once again.

That would be fantastic but I don't think the adoption of it will be that fast, but hopefully it's in a solid amount of AAA games in the coming years.

I guess I'll finally get round to playing these games when the RTX patch hits.

Do the PS+ versions count? I hope the PS+ version count.

Yeah, that would go a long way, I just turned it off on PC because it doesn't really affect that many scenes too much, the wet floors where it really makes a difference are few and far between. The metal reflections are better too but its kind of a stylistic difference and I was happy with the cubemaps for how many fps I saved.

The graphics are already really good.
Only problems on ps4 being the screen space reflections
and reduced rate animations at a distance. If that’s fixed as well, fuckin’ A!A chromatic aberration toggle would be appreciated.
Seriously RE2 looks damn damn good most of the time… Capcom was absolutely unmatched in 60fps graphics last gen with the RE engine.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
Capcom should charge upgrade money on the platform where these people are playing

This is cool. I loved all three of these titles.

Wish they would change the color grading of the HDR in RE2 as well. The police station has those raised blacks. The game looks good in spite of it but imagine how good it'd look with it not being so washed out ..The graphics are already really good.

Now it's time for Rockstar to finally get off their greedy, lazy asses and update RDR2 for next gen!
That game deserves to be played at 60 fps man.

If you mean the greater franchise as a whole ? then no, there's quite a bit like the Outbreak games, the two Chronicles games, Dead Aim, in fact all the Survivor's that are not available on modern platforms.
However, RE 1 through Village, Zero, Code: Veronica (emulated PS2 version) , Rev 1 and 2 are available on the PS4. There may be more but I can't recall at this moment.

Thanks, yeah I meant more the numbered iterations. I forgot about the Rev and Code Veronica games though.
I got RE8 for PS5 for my bday last year, finished it and loved it. May as well try and get the rest for PS4/PS5 for completion sake

Oh yeah in that case you will have all the mainline games you need to be up to date on the franchise lore available on PS4/5.
Games like the Outbreaks and the Survivor games add some side-ish story but are not necessary to have been played.

Sadly the original RE1, 2 and 3 are not, but all the other mainline games are.

I have the original 3 RE games on PS3. Probably the only way we'll be able to play them officially moving forward.

I liked 8 more, but 7 is fantastic and absolutely worth playing if you like the series.

If it's a new ps5 disc I will surely get it if there are upgrades over pc version like 3d audio and dualsense.
By the way - I only played village demo on ps5 and got the full version on pc... I kinda wish I went with ps5 version since the above features were cool in the demo and it was not stuttering. But that was fixed on pc.
Anyway - If you are using headphones on ps5, with 3d enabled in system settings, do You still need to enable 3d audio IN GAME settings in village ?

1- it was a remaster for 3 games
2- they were callled trash for it
In Sony’s case. It’s the same friggin game lol. Just enabling the texture pack toggle lol
To be fair they are not the only one. But Sony is a publisher of a platform . Not a third party studio. Their games in theory, should be less expensive than third party games since they don’t pay loyalty fees to them selves . Not lead the world with a price jump unjustified.
I know I am in the minority but I vote with my wallet. Not a single game I bought from them was at full price . I can wait till the game is dirt cheap . Plenty of other games in the market . Their loss and Hope it bites them in the ass and get hit really bad in profit to never ever think of doing shit moves like this.
