It'd be pretty disappointing if it didn't look better than PS3/360 games when the Switch is a more modern and significantly stronger piece of HW. Especially when MH Rise already looks significantly better than RE5

IIRC, there's evidence suggesting that RE Engine does not play well with DRS at all. If that's the case, I'm sure that whatever solution they came up with for the Switch fork to be able to switch profiles on the fly took a lot of time to implement.
I really liked how Revelations 2 was actually episodic and released on a set schedule. It would probably get annoying if every game did that but I thought it worked well here. This game got it right when all these others tried to be episodic and then took years between or never finished their episodes.
It felt good buying the first episode with the schedule on hand for the rest. Was hoping it was the direction the series was headed so sequels could be made faster. but if whatever they were working on for Rev3 became a full scale game, im excited.
All that said, I'm ready for whatever in the moist barrel of fucks Outrage is.

Likewise, the episodic releases made every episode feel like a community event since everyone played and discussed each piece together. In between releases it gave the player incentive to do the speed run trials and other extras. Shame it's not a popular format.
How many of these takes do we have in threads like the FF16 or FFVIIR announcement threads? Cause you can literally say shit like this about any console game (even PS5 timed or full exclusives) with regards to high end PC hardware which will generally play any console game at higher resolutions/framerates. I don't get it.
I've heard that before... So now that they did build a custom fork of the engine, would it be possible for them to port games like RE7 to this new fork that supports Switch, or any future iteration/upgrade of the Switch that retains the same resolution switching feature?
considering revelation 2 was exponetially better than rev 1, rev 3 could be and should be ^3 better, right?
Be real, a PS5 game isn't going to look subpar just because it can't match a $1500 computer build. The Switch is the definition of a compromise by comparison. For people that own all consoles, it isn't exciting news.
Doesn't seem like it.
The engine for the Switch is very different from the build RE7 and REmakes are on.
So any future games they make for Switch have to be developed with this specific engine fork and cannot simply be ported later from the main engine?
I feel like that's a bit shortsighted of them to create an engine that simply cannot work with resolution switching.
also it was $25, which was actually cheap to the point where people were wondering why it was that cheap lol
there's a ton of dlc but the complete thing is sold for nothing these days when it goes on sale, which is every other month. I've got them on like everything I own. Then they put them on sale for $9 on switch recently--sure, that's an absolute steal to have those raid modes portable and easily accessible on another device. They also run and look better than expected which is nice.
From the way I understood it, RE engine was designed for everything but the build that works on everything but just couldn't work on the switch for some reason.
Capcom did however do another build of the engine that was optimized for the switch. This game along with MH Rise are examples of this build.
Be real, how is a new entry that features the return of a favorite character not exciting news?
The Switch will not pump out visuals or performance that a 7 year old machine like the old PS4 could. It isn't exciting on the tech end for a brand new game.
Seems an even statement to me.
It's great news for the game, not much to do with your (correction 'the') hardware comment, though.
What do you mean "suddenly?" It's never been particularly performative hardware. Even impressive for the tech ports like Doom are not great ways to play the game. PS4 and One struggle with frame rates as well due to the Jaguar. RE2 and 3 don't run well on base PS4 or Xbox either. So, I'm thinking about that and what they may be trying to do. Are we talking 720p 30? Will it be stable? There are some games that run well on Switch, like Mario Kart, but those are the exception, not the rule. 1080p 60FPS I wouldn't have an issue. But less than 1080p (sometimes even lower than 720p) with an unstable 30FPS is common on Switch. Even PS4 and One have sub 1080p titles that struggle for 30FPS.
I generally aim for 1440p+ and 60FPS+ when gaming. Sometimes 120FPS, sometimes 4k 60FPS, sometimes 4k 120FPS. Depends on the game, what I perceive as the better performance profile, and what my PC can do.
Also, WTF are you talking about with 30FPS and hypocrisy? I can't not like low frame rates? Why? Because you like Nintendo? I'll deal with 30FPS if it's the only option, but if there are other options you won't see me go that route unless it means something like supporting Epic.
Now?
Annualizing/multiple games in a year is fine by me when it's working this well.
If the list had ports, it might crash the servers. yet...i've bought almost all of them.
Revelations 1 and 2 run well -- a perfect 4k 120fps on switch, it's great
edit: actually not sure what the res is, but the framerate is decidedly "unlocked but not a problem" to me. It's really predictable where the dips will be but performance is pretty acceptable
It would look better as a PS5 game for sure, but the news is still exciting for those of us that care about good games.
No, Dusk was wrong about a lot of the development cycle for these two games, apparently. From previously in the thread:
Right I get that they had to develop the custom fork of the engine, but what I'm wondering is if it's at all possible to port a game developed on the main RE engine (like RE7) to this custom fork so that it can be released on a console such as the Switch 2.
Oh I see.
I doubt it but who knows. If my limited knowledge of coding is anything to go by, it sounds like a lot of work.
I'm also excited and hoping it's good, my tech comment isn't about the quality that I hope Rev 3 delivers, especially since I'll be double dipping.
Well good thing not everyone is solely concerned with the game having the best visuals and for those who are you can wait of play plenty of other games up to your "standards" for visuals
That's fair. If it's really good I'll also double dip on the PS5 version. Hopefully there is a Switch pro by this point, that would help quite a bit.
Revelations runs 30-60FPS variable at 1080p/720p on Switch.
Switch's Resident Evil Revelations is best played in mobile mode
Switch ports of library titles? We're all for them if the game is right and the quality of the port holds up. Capcom's …

I think capping the games to 30FPS on Switch, and REmake 2 and 3 capping to 30FPS on base systems would be overall a better experience. But I think this gives you an idea of what we can expect since history repeats itself.
I think we'll be looking at something more graphically intensive than Rev 2, for sure. More in line with the REmake titles. The new engine is a lot better, so we may see 1080p/720p come back despite a more graphically demanding game, but I would definitely think we'll see a variable frame rate/unlocked.
Vendetta is amazing and I will not stand for this slander!
It's a fun time, to be sure. But even I had to roll my eyes at basically another excuse provided to give Chris (with Leon) a chance to "rescue Rebecca" AGAIN.
I'm very curious about the visuals. I trust Capcom to make something very good looking. RE5 and RE6 still look good and Revelations on 3DS was incredible looking for the hardware.
The silence folks had after the Rise demo came out and showed that, yes, it was always running on Switch, was deafening.
To be entirely fair the Switch Pro might already be announced or released by the time this RE game is announced, so they might be right this time!
I mean after the announcement, for the Switch 2. "this looks too clean to be dlss"
There's probably a couple, just look at how people reacted when they learned that Horizon, Halo or Spider-Man was gonna be cross-gen.
Still, I don't feel like that's a fair comparison you're making. There's a difference between games releasing on ps4/xbox or next gen systems and being ported to pc and games releasing on switch and then being ported to pc. Ones clearly the weaker system. That's just fact. It's not just about resolution and fps but graphics, physics, animations, scope etc.
If they need another version of their engine just to make games on the platform it's definitely a different situation.
Anyway, I love my switch, and will definitely pick this up because I love the series and the return of Rebecca is really exciting but, I can't say I'm not disappointed knowing that they're first and foremost developing it for weaker hardware when we've seen what they're capable of with RE7-8 and the remakes. It'll feel like a step back in my opinion. For visuals that is.

A literal damsel in distress.
We need a Rebecca Redemption like the one Jill got, so fingers crossed that part is true.
No character introduced post-RE2 until Ethan/Mia has returned (and Hunnigan, but only in a supporting role), so...doubtful probably lol, but I guess you never know.
Honestly the weirdest thing about this to me is the idea that the Village title predated the game being RE8. It seems to so clearly be the one word they could fit an VIII into.
Man, please bring Sheva, Parker and Carlos back. Especially Sheva. My girl needs to be in a new game.
