This is unprecedented. Never has a Denuvo game been cracked this quickly. Demand, I guess? Not sure what this means for Denuvo. Guessing they'll continue as usual or beef up their protection.

I guess the developers will be getting their money back then.

CPY has basically been Denuvo's worst nightmare, and they are getting even faster at cracking it.

That was fast.
It would be better if you edit out the file information from the OP though.

Could also be that they have streamlined their process after cracking the others. Not sure how all of that works though.
I'm sure that was just a rumor that got debunked. No refunds, no returns!
They should've waited for a patch though, the performance is in the shitter for me with the stuttering.
Capcom deserve all of the money in the world for such an awesome reinvention of the survival horror genre, but whenever I hear these Denuvo crack stories I feel conflicted.
DRM (and derivatives like it) are never pro-consumer and have no place in digital distribution. Hopefully Capcom are compensated for this.
Equally, don't want this to affect sales.

Fortunately, the PS4 with VR version is the main attraction here, so it might not be as bad as it could be.
No sympathy for people pirating still.

Looks like the reign of Denuvo is coming to an end.

Their intention is to delay cracking, not stopping it altogether.
IMO they will stay the same

I will never understand people's huge dislike of Denuvo outside of fear mongering and general dislike of DRM that has nothing to do with Denuvo itself.
Hope it continues to do well in sales. The game does deserve it, and PC gamers do need to work away from the image of being an audience of pirates still.

Yeah I don't really mind Denuvo myself, haven't really had any problems with it (afaik).
However, I think all DRM should be removed after a certain period of time.
EDIT: And no, PC gamers don't need to work away from an image of being "an audience of pirates". Sales clearly show we buy games, DRM or not.

They wanted to delay it out of the initial release window. 5 days is definitely within that window.

Seems to be off to a pretty good start 209,000 copies sold just on steam which is probably not the target platform. Resident evil games have legs too.

It makes nonsupported modding harder. In that, it's quite similar to UWP.

I think they will, they removed GFWL from RE5 which previously supported it, which is much harder (by a large margin) to remove than Denuvo from how I understand it.

People were modding RE7 already and even had modding tools for the thing even before Denuvo was removed and for the demo, this was completely false here.
There's a huge RE modding community that already had made various mods for RE7 and Beginning Hour.
Here was one mod from Beginning Hour (which also had Denuvo), and the RE7 modding community was festering well these last few days as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKZnWs6TZ_Y&t=415s
Here was a RE7 weapon mods (spoiler): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p225yreAsWw

Piracy sucks but this was inevitably going to happen. I wonder if people will keep using their services once the cracking gets closer and closer after release.
Well, I wasn't talking about Capcom and RE7 alone, but I meant all games. IIRC the people who made Limbo did it with their last game after a few months of it being sold. It's a good move IMO.
Is there evidence that this helps single player games? I understand that it'll help multiplayer focused games though.
I have no desire to buy the game after watching a twitch play through. Same happened with dark souls 3

I wonder if this will open the door for modding, it would be great to play this on the Vive or Rift.

Who wants to pirate a game their computer can't even run properly?
They are holding off for more patches. Fruitless endeavor but thats the plan.

Modding was already possible, but it might be right that it's even easier now.
There was already people making mods for RE7 with Denuvo, however.
EDIT: removed link, I guess that counts as linking to other boards which I know is against ToS. Was to modding discussion, nothing illegal though.

Pretty sure a lot of devs have come out with sales spikes after having their games mentioned by famous youtubers.
But we'll see. The game has a got lot of buzz going for it atm, plus the new first person perspective and Evil Dead-esque feel should make it appeal to a wider audience.

But where are the mods
Here's one that was released last night:
RE7 was only released a few days ago, so only early modding stuff in place, but the scene was growing and people were experimenting.
Not plenty a few more like . None of UWP games are cracked though. Dishonored 2, Hitman etc is not cracked

bahahaha
wasn't it just a few months ago people were posting Denuvo is here to stay and that it's the end of pirating?
Not that I like pirating but the Denuvo drama was strong

I assume it's not as simple as that, presumably the VR mode isn't even finished for oculus or vive. It's not as simple to get a PSVR game running on oculus/vive as largely copy pasting the same code, is it? (I know nothing about the technical sides of VR).

I wanna see some skin swaps for the bakers, and a third person mode of some sort.
older games and games with bad performance (dishonored 2 cough). Waste of time in both cases until they can fully understand Denuvo.
they got bypassed
You wanna see T-rex Bakers right?

You are probably either too young or naive to think this is a reinvention of survival horror

Especially during that one part....yes please
