After seeing this in Watch Dogs Legion on Series X I am now a believer. Good news!

Finaika · Nov 3, 2020

No wonder the framerate from the trailer was low.

ANNeFRANKxGOKU · Nov 3, 2020

nice catch, looking forward to playing this on pc

Niklel · Nov 3, 2020

60 fps + ray tracing? Separate 30 fps ray tracing mode?
What is it?

Ahti · Nov 3, 2020

We`ll see. They said Demon`s Souls Remake will feature RT, too.

Rosebud · Nov 3, 2020

DualSense too, great.

PLASTICA-MAN · Nov 3, 2020

Ok please make it more optimised this time (why not solid hybrid RT) and don't do DMC5SE rushed mistake.

Deleted member 16876 · Nov 3, 2020

Cool.

Now show the damn thing! And no I don't mean filming someone playing it and looking at them instead of the TV itself. That was such a tease.

dlauv · Nov 3, 2020

I wonder if it will make the game 30fps. If so, I'll skip. Cool tho.

Vashetti · Nov 3, 2020

Doesn't seem like VR is happening.

Raigor · Nov 3, 2020

If they don't have a 4K60 mode because of RT is dumb.

If they are using RT it's going to be 4k30 and 1080p60?

Tarnpanzer · Nov 3, 2020

Didn´t playstation.com stated the same thing about Demons Souls? (The part about RT)

I don´t know if the source is very reliable in this case.

Kaguya · Nov 3, 2020

It better also have performance mode.

I was going to say same thing then may say the Demon Soul was stated on PS Blog but here for RE8 it's on the game page. Well things could chnage meanwhile anyway and if they couldn't make it work at the end they will remove it and say itw as a mistake.

What do you mean? You want 120 FPS in that performance mode?
Because the game will be 60 FPS. Unless something very bad will happen, God forbids.

pre-orders soon then? Might be in for an update soon on a release timeframe.

PC version will not feature Ray Tracing but will be a port of the PS4/One version.

/joking but after what happened with DMCV you never know...

Think something like DMCV SE.

Ray tracing could be only present in a separate 30fps mode or something.

We don't know how they will implement in Village.

I don´t see this game releasing on PS4/XO tbh.

It's not. It's next-gen only.

Dang PS5 features are gonna make it hard to choose between that or PC

Wise · Nov 3, 2020

60FPS > Raytracing

if raytracing means no 60fps then I'll be mad

They've said they're looking into bringing it to current gen too.

"While Resident Evil Village is being developed specifically for next-generation consoles and PC, we're looking into delivering the experience on Xbox One and PS4 as well," Kanda said.

"We're looking into it, but we can't make any promises. However, we will do our best in creating a top-tier survival horror experience on current generation consoles."

Izanagi89 · Nov 3, 2020

I hope the next time we see it it will look rock solid just so we can finally put those old Dusk Golem comments to rest.

Chaystic · Nov 3, 2020

I can't go back to 30fps Resident Evil, so there better be modes.

Beer Monkey · Nov 3, 2020

Compatible headphones, including like headphones that are over half a century old.

I just call them headphones.

leng jai · Nov 3, 2020

Imagine if they patched in ray tracing for RE2R and RE3R.

RedHeat · Nov 3, 2020

I hope Capcom's efforts of offering lots of performance modes in DMC5 translates to this game as well

ItIsOkBro · Nov 3, 2020

Imagine seeing a monster behind you in a ray traced reflection.

How many 60fps games we know of so far have ray tracing on PS5?
I doubt this will be 4K, 60fps + raytracing.

Jiggy · Nov 3, 2020

RE7, RE2, and RE3 all ran at 60 even on base consoles. They're not gonna suddenly drop the frame rate for their next gen title.

Niklel · Nov 3, 2020

There will probably be a 60 fps option.
If there isn't one, I will be waiting for a considerable discount before purchasing the game.

Necron · Nov 3, 2020

Not in VR it won't, lol.

... will there still be a VR mode (?)

RE3 targeted 60fps on base console, it ran nowhere near it. RE2 didn't exactly get there too.

Necron said:

No PS5 VR headset or even support for any currently available headset have been announced. This has about as much chance of supporting VR on console as Capcom announcing their own VR headset releasing alongside the game.

We don't know how they will implement in Village.

Tbh DMC5SE is the first attempt to inject path tracing in RE engine and it seems very rushed and not well thought at all especially with their brute forcing ways thus the unacceptable outcome. So RE8 will come later and they have much time to optimise and maybe use proper hybrid RT methods instead of brute forced epr pixel path tracing. The specification of dynamic 4K coudl mean they managed to have RT and dynamic 4K (while keeping the target 60 FPS ofc) somehow. We will see.

Kaguya said:

I don't preditct the future but they will be quite some. right now iirc COD Black Ops, Maneater, Dead by Daylight, War Thunder, Observer Reux and probably few others I forgot but again like I kept saying it's very foolish to get a general prejudice about next-gen just from cross-gen ttiles that have RT just as an extra belated addition and mostly brute forced and not optimised so ihose games don't count, until the real deals come.

leng jai · Nov 3, 2020

Aren't the levels in Village going to be much bigger too? RE2 and 3 are basically corridor shooters, wouldn't be surprised at all if Village dropped back to 30.

Nooblet · Nov 3, 2020

RT shadows and RTGI would be the only worthwhile RT additions to a game of this type, RT reflections will kind of be wasted in a dark game.

Wil348 · Nov 3, 2020

Maybe this explains the Dusk rumour, I wouldn't be surprised if they are having performance troubles with RT in the mix. Hopefully there's a 4K 60 mode without RT.

EDIT: Unless the Dusk rumours were fake after all, in which case nevermind.

Diogo Arez · Nov 3, 2020

Really hope there's a 60 option, all recent REs have unlocked framerates and RE Engine is one of the best engines at 60 in the market.

Dualsense support is incredible tho, hopefully it's amazing in horror games, just wonder if it's exclusive to gunplay or we can have some interesting segments in gameplay like feeling someone breathing behind us or something

Niklel · Nov 3, 2020

I think it was running in 40+ fps, reaching ~60 fps in some quiet places.
Whatever the average framerate was, RE2R and RE3R felt much better than typical 30 fps games.

Strikerrr · Nov 3, 2020

What kind of Ray Tracing?
If it's just shadows like Call of Duty Modern Warfare, it won't really add much to the overall visual fidelity.

Damnnnnn. Yeah that would be rad. Those games already look amazing too.

Nice advice, yea, I should probably slow down. -__-

Given how reliant shadows are in Resident Evil usually they probably add a lot. If it's GI like Metro Exodus that would be fantastic.
