It's resident evil thought. It's still not the strangest stuff that has happened in the games.

When you clear the game, you unlock a bunch of bonuses including the 'making of' videos which are really cool. From the main menu, go to Bonuses and they are in there. Also uploaded to Youtube.

As for Ethan...end game spoilers

Reddit picking up on a few things that foreshadowed the ending. Lady D drinking Ethan's blood said it tasted stale and one of the daughters said it tasted great. Seeing as the daughters are made of flies, it's only fitting that they would like dirty shyte blood. It's great how everyone was liking Ethan for being a regular Joe and he turns out to be the weirdest playable character yet.

Also the baby symbol depicted around the village was actually in the Resi 7 posters.

On PS5, XSX and XSS, the performance mode is when you turn raytracing off. The ray tracing mode is close enough to 60 FPS most of the time that you don’t need to bother turning it off, but it is essential on Series S.

You will get a smoother 60FPS if you turn Ray-tracing off. There’s definitely stuttering down to the 50s in a fair few areas if you have it on. Nothing major or game breaking, but enough to notice for sure.

The only place where I felt the performance dipped badly enough was the flooded town area and the subsequent boss. I think next time I play I am just gonna turn it off in that area.

Turn it off in the lake area, it causes huge dips, then turn it back on when you kill the boss.

DF complaining it's a bad port. It's running great for me on AMD hardware though. I had one strange stutter but it's been 60 FPS+ at 3440x1440p. Well I had the weird shadow issue which I managed to fix. Also annoying that AA just isn't working at all.

Cordell

They said it's a mixed bag, not completely bad.
There are a few things that are not properly ported on PC: the RT resolution cannot go any higher on PC, AA not working properly, VRS not working properly.
And of course any PC port that doesn't implement DLSS is not a good PC port

Azza

Yeah I have the stutter when attacking enemies but I didn't actually notice it too much until digital foundry pointed out. I also had the issue with tanking frame rates when the the vampire daughters get too close but that was pretty rare and for the most part performance was fine. I didn't notice the other issues like with AA and I didn't have VRS on.

But it is somewhat crashey. Not bad enough to ruin the game but it seems more prone to crashing when in mercenaries mode to the point its putting me off playing it. Seems to crashes on the GPU side, so I think the game does need a few patches to be in a good state on PC.

That only works because Ethan's a bloody walking piece of fungus that needs to be watered!

Played that bit last night and it only dipped twice and only to the low 50's. PS5 version really held up.

I really enjoyed that bit. As I said before it's a straight up homage to Clock Tower which I really appreciate. However I didn't think the scares worked as well as Clock Tower, it was a bit rote. Still I really liked how

it changed into a point and Click/horror hybrid for a section

. Seems to be nice variety in each of the 4 sections.

Just coming up to the stronghold, will finish this over the weekend, maybe even tonight.

Those people posting YouTube videos with spoilers in the thumbnails are the f**king worst.

Not referring to the poster here, I mean in general when browsing YouTube, very easy to come across spoiler thumbnails.

Okay I was joking when I said this but *my friend* legit saw her on an ad on a porn site since I made the post! :pac:

They don’t take long for sure in the porn industry!

TBH it's fairly obvious they were counting on it
Free hype.

As soon as Lady Dimitrescu became a meme I instantly started to hate her. Why does everything have to be a ****ing meme these days.

SMC92Ian

Well I finished it. Only took 7 and a half hour and I got lost a lot and took my time. That sucks. As for the game I liked the castle and doll house but then it got all Rambo at the end. Very few scary parts and the story was pure gibberish haha but it's Resi so. But yeah good decent game. Solid 6 or 7/10. It's fun but not wow. Regret paying full price but glad I played it. 7 was much better but still get this if you like that.

Retr0gamer

I'm actually really glad of the brisk game time. No action game needs to be more than 8 hours long.

Every section in this felt nice and brisk, whisking from one location to another. I read one review said it had pacing issues but i found it just right. Saying that, i wish the castle and Beneviento House was longer.

Edit: actually that's a lie, i wanted out of Beneviento's gaf ASAP.

Picked this up on Stadia, I'm falling in love with Stadia. Helped with the PRemier Edition offer they have which means the game was pretty much free.

Started playing it on my chrome browser at lunch, jumped to the TV after work and then went to bed and kept playing on my phone. Runs perfectly on all.

Got through about two hours of it. Just got into the castle, when you first meet the 4 ladies. Enjoying it, and thankfully it's not scary. I couldn't finish RE7 but i was playing that in VR
