Please actually be optimized for PC unlike the trashfire UE5 Capcom. PC's already a priority for them would love to see that reflect in their engine development efforts

If the past few RE Engine games are anything to go by, ReX should be one of the best engines on the market.

Capcom’s PC titles have always performed well with great visuals. In the early days ie Lost Planet it was bad, but they got it together since.
Shout out to Capcom.

REX you say? Like Tyrannosaurus Rex? Like the dinosaur? Like Dino? As in...
I think RE Engine is a massive step up from MT Framework. That said, there are certain materials that just look weird. People have always looked kind of odd in RE engine. Can't wait to see what they bring to the table.

Pretty good video, though it doesn't include what most would think they'll say (i.e. raytracing).
This part was mighty interesting. They launch a new version of the engine about every two days, and they make sure ALL the past RE Engine games run the same in this latest version. They have QA testers that test these new packages of the older games constantly. Which means ALL those past games will be quickly upgradable to any future consoles (PS5 Pro, next generation, etc).

Will Re + X finally support DLSS now that AMD isn't blocking it anymore?

It wouldn't matter either way. Capcom developer talent usually make sure their games run well regardless of the engine. Developer talent is also the thing you're actually upset about.

I hope the grand finale of this Resident Evil remake series is the iconic Resident Evil 1 remake, on this engine

Oh no.
I loved RE-ENGINE too much.
It saddens me that there will be a successor, because I consider it to be one of the best graphics engines in video games and the savior of Capcom.

I love RE-ENGINE.
But MT FRAMEWORK always seemed to me, in most cases, to be a shitty Graphics Engine.

something juicy about the RE engine.
feels limited but really good at what it does.
hope they can juice it up.

The swan song of RE-Engine

It's the complete opposite for me.
MT framework was - at its time - one of the best, if not the best engines out there in a world filled with Uber glossy, plasticky looking U3 engine games.
Take Monster Hunter world for example, a ONE/PS4 gen game (not even X360/PS3 one) which still looks good to this day.
Shit, even Lost Planet 2 looks sooo good to this day.
That's in stark contrast to the RE engine which has already ran its course/looks already dated in just 1 gen's time.
The uncanny valley is just too strong and everything feels "off" to me, in fact, even the recent RE4 Remake looked...already dated on Day 1 from a tech perspective due to the shimmering/pixel crawling, dubious geometry and texture work on some places etc etc, personally, i felt like it held the game down.
Mind you, RE7, RE2 and RE3 Remakes looked good for being One/PS4 era games but RE8 and RE4 remake I don't know man, they already looked dated on their perspective release dates.
Basically, this new engine can't come soon enough.
Cheers

So, will Monster Hunter World 2 be the first ReX game? We know it has to be in the works.

So is this for PS5/XS titles or the inevitable PS6/NextXbox ?

Imagine a world in which the re engine is more prevalent than unreal.
One can hope.

I have always wanted Capcom to open up RE Engine to other developers, same with Valve and Source 2, Sony with Decima.

Their entire workflow is super impressive, sasuga capcom.
Capcom has been PC first since 2005, they always build a pristine PC version of a game first and then port down to consoles (except the monster hunter team back then, they were slower to catch on to this flow).

...Why?
(NM, I think I get what your point is, that this isn't news you can play. See my second response below.)

A new engine and hopefully the characters look better.
Looking forward to the Code Veronica X, RE5 and Dino Crisis remake.

Capcom R&D is announcing the engine, as part of a tech talk on the status and future of its technology systems. They have a number of technical discussions as part of an industry event called CAPCOM Open Conference Professional. According to the description of the event, "This event is for industry professionals and technical experts who are interested in learning about the professional aspects of RE ENGINE, such as the technologies that underpin it and development know-how." It's for industry professionals, such as technical suppliers for CAPCOM RE Engine components/plugins, contractors, and potential future employees. CAPCOM R&D have about 20 video presentations on technical specifics of its development system scheduled during this event, and as part of the discussion points of the event (and also perhaps to advertise the conference to interested parties,) they included the RE-X announcement in their future outlook statement and disclosed a bit about its planned target purpose.

更に進化するRE ENGINEの「今」を徹底解説 株式会社カプコンは、昨年開催し好評を博した「カプコン オープンカンファレンスRE:2022」に寄せられたご意見・ご感想をもとに、より技術的な内容に特化した「CAPCOM Open Conference Professional RE:2023」をオンラインにて開催する運びとなりました。

...This event is not really for us gamers. It's not "CAPCOM" announcing an engine in the traditional sense as in the publisher making headline news to sell new products, and it would way too early to show as any kind of cool gameplay demo even if they had a project running on it this early. (That isn't really the point of this technical conference anyway, though it's always a bummer when a tech talk doesn't have any live or prototype demo even for those who are there for business.) If you only care about engines when you can play games or see trailers of games running on it, then ignore this news until you get something more hype-worthy to enjoy.
But, for those who like information, this thread is to inform that this info is out there.

Would be cool if they made re1 with the new engine.
Only fitting if you ask me.

I really like the RE Engine, mostly runs really well and seems pretty scalable for a wide range of hardware. Hopefully this continues the trend.
That doesn't make re4 a horror game, seriously, you stand still and they gather from everywhere, this is not RE, there is no fear in doing that, where in the original trilogy, you make the risk on being offensive.

When the engine is finished and ready for both.Capcom will make games for ps6 past 2030.If the ps6 comes out in winter 2028 year is already over till 2030 there will be probably between 6-10 million ps6 how much they can produce and what the world will be like that.All those immigrants around the world which are let in to all countries are not an accident. those are payed soldiers when times comes they will unleash chaos rapes murders genocide like .The plan is getting millions of young men who could be making lots of kids to get killed by citizens police and army of the countries at the same time the countries will lose 100.000s if not millions people themselves. so absolutely win for those satanic evil child facker Elites.To have a population of few which will be enslaved like and worse like China.Thats why the mentally ill trans gender trash is suddenly pushed so hard with extrem measurements in all countries especially the western countries poison small kids to become gay or trans to not reproduce open up pedofilliay big time child trafficking big time like a mad max world everything facked up no normality. So will be interesting how the world the console entertainment looks like because plan is to kill 7 billion people till 2030 in this piece of shit Klaus schwabs book the useless eaters how he describes people in poorer countries he have a date till 2040 but they Themselves say must fasten everything up.
will be interesting the sales charts of consoles beyond 2030 when barley humans left to buy things everything crippled destroyed so on.
