Console games lately have been great looking, but this looks so much better on my 3080 it's not even funny. What the heck is going on with the console version?
It also helps that I just got myself a beautiful new Alienware Ultrawide, but it's not as if my LGC9 which the PS5 is hooked to is a slouch either.
I've been complaining about PC ports for a while now, but the PC version here is vastly superior from what admittedly little I've seen.
(Edit) I had left lense distortion and chromatic aberration on PS5 by mistake. Disabling helps... a little.

The image quality is terrible on ps5 in performance mode! I'm seriously disappointed here. Wtf happened Capcom? Re8 has MUCH HIGHER resolution at 60 fps and a similar level of fidelity!
I swear it's one gut punch after another as a next gen console owner as more and more games come out with disappointing resolution and image quality, despite us being 2.5 years into the generation and with these games not even being THAT impressive in terms of what they're trying to achieve! Just today DF did an analysis of Wu Long Fallen Dynasty- 1260p/60 fps lol! Last month we had Forsaken as a "next gen" only title and Dead Space Remake, both topping out at what? 1440p?
At least they were a little sharper than RE4 which looks to be 1080p! Then in October of last year we had the Gotham Knights debacle of 30fps as well as Evil West (1080p/60). I'm fully convinced things are not going to get much better this generation with these consoles as I've played everything worth playing and everything has shown limitations in one form or another. These consoles are not that powerful and developers today are not putting in the same kind of effort they used to.
Thats a bad combination in terms of what to expect graphically going forward, and as games become more demanding its only going to get worse. People are saying RE4 Remake is not impressive graphically but that's probably NOT the case. There probably are some real improvements to the graphics and that's the reason we're getting a lower resolution than re8.

worst fps I saw on xbox was ~51fps with RT
I think the reason it looks like it does (shimmering etc) is that they once again use checkerboarding, and their checkerboarding isn't the best when it comes to image sharpness and smoothness.
on PC if you use it, your edge treatment instantly goes down the shitter and you get shimmering.

Just finished it on an i3 4170 and GTX 960. Run like shit, but oh boy is it fun! Was watching some PS5 streams and it looks like the performance mode dynamic res is really kicking in. Eagerly awaiting for the DF analysis.
Can't wait for the reviews, looks like they fucking nailed it. Again!

It helps but not enough. The iq is still bad and the resolution is not good. Fuck me.

what settings did you use? did you try using interlacing? because on lower end cards this could help a ton.
it cuts VRAM usage down by a lot and it reduces your rendering load by about 30% to 40%

I've played the demo multiple times on PS5 and liked it a lot. As with all RE Engine Resident Evil games, I had to change some settings. I don't know why I never like the default settings Capcom ships these games with.
In case anyone else finds it useful on PS5:
Display
Visuals: Frame Rate.
Ray Tracing: Off.
Lens Distortion: Off.
Depth of Field: Off.
Camera
Camera Acceleration Normal Gameplay: Max.
Camera Acceleration When Aiming: Max.
Field of View: Max.
Camera Wobble: Off.
Motion Blur: Off.
Controls
Control Type: B-1.

I had stutters at the beginning but then none until the end. maybe a small hitch here and there, but that could be my VRAM filling up to much with RT on lol

I made a more detailed post further down btw.
I'll add to that that you should turn your aim acceleration and aim speed to the absolute max to counter the really slow moving inner curve.

Don't lower the camera acceleration. Unlike most other games with the setting, here if you turn the camera acceleration low, it greatly slows down the camera turning entirely.
It's terrible if you lower it.

yeah you have to turn everything to the max, including sensitivity, in general imo for the game to feel somewhat good to play

The underlying graphics, geometry, texture quality and all that stuff is really impressive ....it's the image quality that is just bad on ps5. You probably care more about graphics than image quality which is fine but for people that care about both this is quite disappointing.
PS- I'm talking about Performance mode

So far I've seen a few scripted sequences that didn't happen first time through or the second time through. Not sure if they're in the original (only played on GC on release).
Anyone find a key for that box?
Also, I can't get the hard mode to activate. Beat the demo like 5x and restarted 5x or so.

It will probably get fixed and may work with a different proton version. Lots of games that work in the deck work because valve themselves come in and patch things up. I am sure the full version will likely ship with the proper proton settings.I just ordered a Deck cause I won't have access to my PC/PS5 for a little while.
Lets hope the full game patched up remedies some of these errors.

The ground stab move is definitely a nice improvement.

how exactly? it adds literally nothing and just takes you out of the moment for an animation that does the same thing as knifing someone in the original... which you also still can do...
I don't see this as an improvement

I just turned on the original. First thing I did was headshot, kick them to the ground, then run over and slash their legs to kill them and save ammo. This accomplished the same thing faster and with a more realistic animation.

They fixed the one thing that I hated about RE4 back in the day, the controls.
Game loooks great on PS5 frame rate mode on a CX. No complaints from me.

it doesn't tho, you can still slash them on the ground in the remake, all they added is an animation that you can sometimes do when their health is low

Eh, its exactly what I expected in terms of visuals/gameplay
As I was expecting, besides visuals, gameplay isnt "improved", its just different. Enemies are way more agressive (expected, since now you can move and aim).
Glad that they kept the melee attacks and actually added new ones. Using the knife by spaming R2 feels great.
Gameplay is like RE2/3 (obviously), so it means that its very floaty. Dont know if it works in such a fast paced game compared to the other ones, but we will see.
And I'm glad that they kept so many details from the original.
The ganado waiting to ambush you inside the second shack? Its there.
The bingo line? It's there (thank god)
I wasnt hyped at all, and that havent changed, but its better than I was expecting. It will be very well received.

So I waited a few hours to boot up the demo. I generally enjoyed the demo, but it still looks too bleached out in terms of the graphics. The bowl of fruit I noticed for example didn't look too bright. Grapes are a darker shade of purple.
By far the biggest issue though, is the janky aiming. My goodness. When Dr. Voorhees Wannabe came at me with his chainsaw, I pressed L1. Maybe I wasn't quick enough. But yeah. I died.
The aiming is so sluggish. Yet granted, the original wasn't that easy to play either. They should have improved these mechanics, but it feels worse. Also, when you get stunned by an enemy, Leon runs away way too slow.

PS5 version feels like absolute shit to play but I thought it looked and sounded great, with strong DualSense/3D audio implementation. But my experience with the PC version showed me just how revolutionary Steam Input is.
PC version looks god-tier and after dialing gyro + flick stick that is the version I will play with, easy choice. There is no simply no overstating how revolutionary of a control method that is, it just takes some time to learn how to set it up. It is the perfect middle ground between precision and immersion. Doubt I will ever play a shooter on console again until that is standardized, the gyro aim on PS5 had my hype completely deflated and playing on PC just feels amazing. It's a complete night-and-day difference or me.

That was rather underwhelming.
Visually it looks pretty terrible on Ps5 IMO. Even in "resolution mode" its easily the blurriest game I've played on Ps5 and visually I'm seeing nothing to justify that. Also it looks quite washed out, I actually think it looks better with HDR disabled, at least on my LG C1 that way the dark areas look dark instead of grey.

What time is it?
The two story house still triggers the chainsaw enemy to appear early. I put two grenades on him and the bell rang really quick to end the encounter. Random thoughts:
-Leon's hair is weird...not sure how to explain it.
-I really don't like the change to the initial Ganado encounter.
-The lead up to the initial village sandbox is really truncated and somehow even more linear.
-Overall tone is much darker and has a moodier atmosphere.
-Not really a fan of the gunpowder mechanic making its' way into this remake.
-The pistol seems to have a nice punch. Would really love to try out the riffle and red9.

Are you basing that off the preview in the menu? In game I think it's a giant improvement

I also am not a fan of the changed beginning. I have no idea why they made it so claustrophobic and why they changed the first encounter to be a damn cutscene...
modern game devs out here thinking they need to turn everything into a cutscene for that "CinEmATIc" feel
even the jump out the window is a damn cutscene in this... like wtf?

Honestly. Liked the game and the graphics. But the IQ is messed up.
There's a white line similar to oversharpening visible on some places. Especially that cabin to the left where there's a guy waiting for you. it's really visible on the trees.
Similar to Horizon FW's IQ problem that was fixed. That is present on both modes, PS5. I'll grab a pic later maybe

Yeah, I cranked everything up and it was a very smooth experience. Played with an Xbox controller and had no issue. I'd love to play the demo more, but once is enough for me. I'm already so damn hyped and release is right around the corner. I love the RE Engine so much.

The aiming isn't that impressive. I missed a villager several times as they sway about awkwardly. That's just with you facing one villager.
When there's a mob of them, your biggest enemy is really not them, but the control system.

The window jump is also a point of no return. I kind of get what they were going for with the Ganado as you encounter him again after you think he is dead, but it just doesn't work for me. Also, the trapped dog being missing (or maybe just dead leaving you with no agency) is a weird change.

Even in game, the 'better' hair seems to have weird light reflecting on it, i-e it can look completely white under some tree shadows.

well it is in motion where it falls flat. the checkerboarding in combination with their TAA implementation means shimmering everywhere.
on PC with native res + TAA it looks way smoother and less shimmery. as soon as you turn it on on PC tho it has the same aliasing issues as console
