Resident Evil Village releasing May 7th, 2021 (PS4, PS5, X1, XSX, Steam), PS5 demo out now

Meant deformation, ducking autocorrect.
Guess TLOU2 really raised my standards. The way the cloth bunches up looks bad and it's a cutscene.
Wow that looks amazing!!! However, I don't recognize RE anymore, last one I played was 4 and I didn't play many more before that. The story was already a hard to follow mess back then, how enjoyable do we think this will be as a stand alone? Am I supposed to know who that Ethan Winters guy is or the dude in the end, for example?
You're going to want to play REVII, this is a direct sequel.
Nice looking demo. Performance needs work. I noticed stuttering throughout and very bad in the main hallway. The camera also does this annoying thing when you stop moving where it jumps back or forward a bit. The camera combined with the judder made it feel very bad to play.
But are there giant vampire ladies on that one?
No, but it's a good game that pays homage to many horror films and revitalized the series.
While some parts looked better than others, overall I'm pleased the graphics in the demo. The Roccoco room and hallway are particularly attractive, and the HDR works pretty well for candle-lit environments.
Other than sprinting by clicking L3 and crouching by clicking R3 there aren't many things you can do. The demo is basically a walking simulator.

Yes I was wondering what the hell was going on with the camera. It was giving me motion sickness.
The ending and 17 different codas leaked last month, alongside an ISO dev build. There's no actual magic or supernatural stuff. It's all extreme hallucinations.
Is there anything in the demo that isn't the puzzle elements?
I saw:
Did I miss anything?
I saw:
blood stained tea glass
Letter giving you hints
Letter from a castle employee
Necklace
Note that said livestock drugs or whatever
Clothes in the fire
Letter about wine

There's ray tracing in the demo? The trailers had beautiful player shadows that I expect are RT but they weren't in the demo I just played.
I can't understand why anyone at Capcom thinks blocking a chainsaw with your hands in RE7 or repeatedly doing 180s and firing a handful of bullets is a better alternative than a short distance, non-spammable dodge that would address all of these issues.
RE2/RE3, 3 in particular, proved a game can be both tense and active. Your character doesn't have to be an idiot tethered to the ground.
Technically underwhelming to be honest...
Texture quality downright rough at spots.
Atmosphere is interesting though.

Ah man, seriously? I just beat two games that used the exact same tropes
Watching the gameplay footage it does not look fun to me having to constantly backpedal away from a horse of enemies.
Say what you will about RE6 but the dodge mechanics were awesome.
I'm sad this demo isn't on PS4...
I probably won't be able to get a PS5 till the end of this year. UUUGGHH

Don't why else it would be dropping frames in the chandelier hallway. If it has RT it's not clearly worth it.
Wow I hate this. I'm glad to be spoiled because a lot of what I'm reading about the games story is stupid.
You should see it in the first "What's hot" banner. Otherwise in the RE Village page go to the '...' and select 'demo'

Hmm the demo they showed felt very underwhelming to me, nothing stood out in terms of graphics or gameplay, and highlighting a blocking feature where you cover your face which takes up the entire screen? Nah, man.
The blocking feature looked bad and something I feel going to become an annoying mechanic in the game.
But they showed just a small part, and this is just my impression of that. Could still be good in the end, of course.

Well, technically it's no part. It isn't going to be a part of the main game at all lol. It's just meant to show off the visuals or something.
The demo looks good but there's definitely some frame issues. It's not constant but when I got to the main hall and the room before the courtyard there was some bad hitches.
It did make me want to finally check out RE7 though

I loved the lighting in the demo with HDR on considering I played on a cheap Samsung. Just wonder how it looks on a better tv.
I wouldn't expect anything from a 4 remake until after 8 is released.
There'll be another demo for all platforms closer to release and it'll probably be better than this visual showcase. Hopefully you won't be missing out on anything major if it doesn't release elsewhere.
I'm sure this is answered somewhere but is the demo original content for the demo or is it just a slice from
The actual game?

On PS5, RE Village page, ... button, demo. It should also be in your news items and "what's hot" banners.
