Oh, so the framerate is actually doing better on PS5 than what Capcom said themselves… Interesting! Sounds like some last minute optimization took place. Good on you, Capcom, good on you
it has raytracing on nvidia too, it’s just optimized for AMD, by which they mean it doesn’t really do much.

Can’t get over the main character and his wife bragging about their maturing taste in music as you stare at their album collection: a dozen of cheap looking smooth jazz compilations carelessly tossed into a single drawer

I have played two hours and this game seems good, also can’t wait for RE9 where Ethan is transported to a strange and alien world whose advanced technological device interfaces can (only?) be properly interacted with the gristly wet red wrist nub that remains of his hand.

His name is Ethan Winters and he feels suffocated by the horrors of bourgeois domesticity. He spends most of his life at home and he’s always unreasonably irritated with the way his wife has decorated it. It feels like she set out to make it look exactly like a stock photo – and he has to admit, framing the same generic picture of flowers she’s found on Pinterest in three different rooms was a particularly inspired touch. When Mia serves him dinner and says “Ciorba de legume… It’s a local recipe”, for a split second, he has to fight the impulse to stand up and scream that she’s full of shit as usual, that her precious ciorba de legume is just Romanian for ordinary vegetable soup, that this is why hates her guts. Instead, he retreats into his imagination. Although he’s not particularly proud of it – he wants to be seen as a model family man, he’s avoiding the midlife crisis by making his entire personality A Dad – he visualizes her getting executed Peter Weller in RoboCop style, he envisages the famous queer icon Chris Redfield walking into his house and saving him from the chains of entrenched heteronormative traditions, he thinks of going on an Adventure. He realizes that if she ever disappeared, the first (and possibly the last) memory of her that would pop up in his head would probably be some hopelessly inane relationship spat they had. It is what it is, but there’s no rescue team coming. He proceeds to eat his ciorba de legume as his wife continues to explain how Netflix has a new original Tommy Clooney/Carrie Gish romcom that they absolutely have to watch.

this game wants to be first person resident evil 4 in so many ways but won’t commit to letting me do suplexes when i kneecap a werewolf!
it’s about as fufu goofy as the series has ever been but i’m also finding it a lot more Fun to play than 7 so i’ve had a hard time putting it down all day. laughed out loud when (post first boss spoilers) your world map is populated with bosses and treasure chests
edit: oh and of course Rose 1/4

among other stuff I already posted in the games you played today thread I really like how much tonally clashing, broadly-defined “horror” they’re obliged to put in these games lately – for a medium-length campaign, your experience of it and its various callbacks are dramatically different from one chapter to the next, and because this series’ thematic history is loosely just “pastiche” and specifically “supernatural phenomena explained by scientific reveals which are nevertheless hilariously contrived,” it gets away with anything. it’s like the equivalent of ice world and fire world.

about 70% of the way through and i have to say that village is the dark souls 2 of re and i mean that as a compliment

I was so incredibly relieved when it turned out that tone in the demo/the opening hour, culminating in that godawful section in Luiza’s house, is completely NOT indicative of what comes later. It was all so dour, and then that one Lady D chase was the funniest thing in the world to me, just what I was hoping Resident Evil would be in 2021
The game’s mechanical base, still unable to translate some key third person RE concepts to first person perspective, reaches “experimental PS2 FPS” level of weirdness at times – shoot BAGS OF FLOUR which immediately disappear with a poof to stun your enemies, use your BLOCK mechanic to perform a shove attack which is so unintuitive only one in four players has a trophy for it – and then surrounds that base with every interesting idea and environment they could come up with, realized in absurdly high fidelity which lets them omit the need for believability. I love it but I’m also a bit surprised at how well it did with the press (but then again, no writing on this game I’ve seen addresses its fundamental shortcomings or key strengths well).

They released another puppet video, it is still very cute.
Excited to play this game someday but I can’t justify full price at this time.

I was reminded alternately of 2 and 3 a few times in the opening hours – the weird ruined dream-jank of the former on the one hand and the vaguely tired enemy types and enthusiastically tired structure of the latter on the other.
to the end this is easily my favourite dark souls inspired project in a while because it’s not just a “souls-like” in any other respect

That one thing in House Beneviento will scar some people for life and that’s the last thing I expected to say about a Resident Evil game
Made me think about one of Udo Kier’s finest roles

Yeah me neither. I installed it (it’s surprisingly small, around 30 gigs or so? Where are they getting all these grafx from!?) and am just waiting for the right time to fire it up
