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."

Dusk Golem vindicated!

It's as if Dusk Golem was right about the development of this game.

 

[Guymelef]

Should be 480p 15 fps on PS4 then, right?

 

[Transistor]

Makes sense. It uses RE Engine which already runs on current gen consoles.

What a strange way to announce current gen versions, that was hilarious.

 

[Fiery Phoenix]

So is CDPR with CP77 apparently.

[Yippiekai]

I don't see how they could if the game doesn't even run on PS5.

[--R]

"No promises".

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

But i thought they were having a hard time with the PS5 from that one tweeter source? How will it play on a PS4?

/s

 

[Toumari]

If it's struggling on PS5 I dread to think what its like on current gen.

 

[RailWays]

It's as if Dusk Golem was right about the development of this game.

Click to shrink...

Nah, couldn't be

Spoiler

[Indy in the Fridge]

it wasn't cross gen? the trailer looked good but not next-gen only good

 

[CharlesAznable]

So this somewhat lines up with what Dusk Golemn has said about Capcom going back and forth about whether they wanted this to be next gen only or not.

 

[Kordelle]

It's as if Dusk Golem was right about the development of this game.

Click to shrink...

Yeah...

 

[Neoxon]

Lines up with what Dusk Golem said. The PS4/XB1 versions initially ran into issues that led them to being scrapped in the first place, so it's no guarantee that they'll happen. But at least Capcom is trying.

 

[ShinobiBk]

Dusk Golem redeemed

Not that he needed redeeming. Just more proof his info is good

 

[Alienhated]

I really hope they don't drop the exclusive next gen gameplay features they were planning.

 

[xem]

It's as if Dusk Golem was right about the development of this game.

Click to shrink...

yup. just more confirmation imo

 

[Hero of Legend]

The wording sounds like it's a next-gen game first, which is a bit odd as wasn't it supposed to have been a current gen game but then got buffed too much and was then made next-gen only?

 

[yoonshik]

It's as if Dusk Golem was right about the development of this game.

Click to shrink...

Yep.

 

[GooberDooberCBC]

Yeah, I want more people to enjoy the game but is it worth it if the game runs terribly? I don't know just posing the question. I am sure people would still buy it but it would impact reviews likely.

 

[Neoxon]

it wasn't cross gen? the trailer looked good but not next-gen only good

Click to shrink...

It started off as cross-gen, but the current-gen versions were scrapped due to performance issues.

 

[digitalrelic]

Dusk Golem redeemed

Click to shrink...

yea but angry Era members told me he was a damn liar????

 

[Executive Taxi]

I can't believe they literally said that they'll try but can't make any promises

 

[vestan]

So Dusk was right again

Btw, the playtests were being done on the PS4 Pro even prior to the game's announcement so this doesn't surprise me. Kinda sad they had to scale the game back to cross-gen because of the PS5 struggling. Would have been cool to see the reality-altering effects they wanted to go for.

 

[shadowsdarknes]

I thought this was being originally designed to be cross gen but then it was scrapped. And now its going back to cross gen?

 

[NekoNeko]

Well good luck if it's struggling on PS5.

 

[Radamammuth]

If it's struggling on PS5 I dread to think what its like on current gen.

Click to shrink...

That was Golem's point, is that they going to scale down the whole game on next gen.

 

[Deleted member 1238]

It's as if Dusk Golem was right about the development of this game.

But he said bad things about the PlayStation version so he's obviously a clout chasing liar /s

 

[NotLiquid]

Click to shrink...

As far as I understand it, the initial rumor was that it started off current gen, got moved to next gen, got held back because of PS5 development issues, and now they're considering scaling it back to the point that cross-gen versions are back on the table.

 

[Oregano]

But i thought they were having a hard time with the PS5 from that one tweeter source? How will it play on a PS4?

/s

Click to shrink...

You mean the exact person who said it was cross gen?

 

[Delaney]

Wondering what could have pushed a company to comment on this when they are not even sure if they can release said PS4/X1 versions.

 

[Damn Silly]

"We now go live to Dusk Golem"

 

[Ushojax]

Huh, I already assumed this was a PS4 game.

 

[PRrambo_]

Make it run on the Ouya

 

[Mars People]

I don't see how they could if the game doesn't even run on PS5.

I find this strange, the RE engine seemed very well optimised.

 

[Raigor]

So Dusk was right again

Sony event ✓
MH Rise ✓
MH Rise running on RE Engine ✓
RE8 being a cross-gen game ✓

But people still latch into the whole PS5 decable

 

[RedHeat]

Still doesn't confirm PS5 issues, especially considering they're trying to make last-gen ports.

 

[Neoxon]

The wording sounds like it's a next-gen game first, which is a bit odd as wasn't it supposed to have been a current gen game but then got buffed too much and was then made next-gen only?

Click to shrink...

Going by what Dusk said, it went like this...

• Started as cross-gen
• Current-gen versions weren't performing well
• Capcom later doubled down on next-gen performance when they focused on PS5/XSX hardware
• Capcom is now looking into bringing back the PS4/XB1 versions

The issue now is all of the stuff they made for RE8 with next-gen in mind.

 

[ShinobiBk]

Edit - wrong thread :(

 

[bing]

Damn I guess Dusk Golem was right

 

[Deleted member 16876]

I really hope they don't drop the exclusive next gen gameplay features they were planning.

Click to shrink...

Same here.

If I have to be forced into weird routes instead of the routes they designed originally then I will be disappointed.

Hoping for the best.

Dusk right now

It's utterly bizarre, especially for a game at this stage of development. It sorta makes me think that this game's development is a mess.
