Resident Evil Village: The Digital Foundry Tech Review + PS5, Xbox Series X|S Analysis!
- Thread starter chandoog
- Start date
I'm watching, and be warned there are might be some content here you could consider spoilers. Seeing envirnoments I've never seen before, I think Capcom was pretty careful with only showing a small slice of where you'll explore in the game.
At what point with a low frame rate does VRR no longer become useful? Just commenting on their Series S commentary about VRR and its uncapped frame rate.
60 to about 48 imo, anything lower than that and you'll notice it more even with vrr
The RT in this game is subtle but I really like it compared to the non-RT look. Helps that the performance hit is pretty minimal.

XSX with RT on in my case. VRR will iron out any frame rate issues. I can handle 8 second load times, but the PS5 having near-instant loads is awesome
Seems there's only one spot In the game where RT mode really affects frame rate. Looks like I'll stick with that
Summary

TL;DR
- Near field scene variety can rear its ugly low quality head when you're pressing right up against some surfaces.
- Most assets hold up very well.
- Volumetric and lighting is praised both indoor and outdoor.
- There is little interactivity with the greater environment outside of some marked breakable objects.
- The game includes a model viewer like the past few games which let you get up close with character details.
- RT support's cost seems 'reasonable'.
- RT includes reflections but resolution is on the low side, approx 1/8th resolution.
- RT occlusion shadows and lighting are praised as benefits.
- RT also improves interiors with local bounce lighting.
- The solution is cheap, but it is a nice touch with numerous benefits.
- Non RT mode targets 2160p using an excellent CB rendering solution.
- In Non RT mode. Both PS5 and SX consoles deliver 99.9% locked 60 FPS experience. DF did not encounter a single frame rate drop in their testing.
- Series S offers 1440p using the same reconstruction with great IQ and performance.
- Prone to some drops with some dips in the mid 50s.
- RT mode on SX and PS5 retains the same visual quality.
- Both consoles do a good job retaining 60 FPS in most areas. However some sequences can push both consoles hard to the high 40's or low 50's.
- Series X generally has a couple of frames advantage in stress areas. 7 to 10%.
- With a VRR display, these drops are negligible to the human eye.
- Series S with RT takes a huge tumble in performance, prone to drops even below 30 FPS.
- Xbox SX|SS have an approx 8 second load when loading a save, PS5 has 1.5~ second load in same scenarios.
- DF comments on the controller feature usage on both the DS and Xbox Pad. Rumble triggers etc are used.
- 3D audio is supported as well.
- DF also covers some basic HDR support tweaking.

Locked 60fps on One X is great news and makes the ongoing next gen hardware scarcity a lot easier to swallow for me.
Yeah, in my experience, despite the 45 fps promise, game felt closer to 60 with RT most of the time. It's really only one section, the Moreau lake area, that I noticed any dips.
The internal resolution is more than likely lower than the non-RT mode, but their checkboard implementation is good so it doesn't make a difference.
Yeah, I'm gonna go for RT on (on Series X) and then just knock it off if it starts to become noticable. Seems like it should be largely fine.

Yeah, Series X with RT On, if you have a VRR/Freesync display, seems like the optimal way.
The load times on PS5 are absolutely fire, but its a single seamless load only so it shouldn't be an issue.
Damn that 6 second load time... not sure what console I'll get it for .
/s
It seems both consoles run it great. I'll definitely get this day 1.

I'm not watching the video yet because of spoilers but no loading after the initial one?
I'm cool with that. As long as games don't turn into 2 minute waits, I can sip a drink or scratch something.

Yep. Seamless experience after the initial load as per the video.
More stable frame rates on Series X. Faster load times on PS5. Differences are minimal, plays great on both consoles!
Gonna avoid the video but if anyone else is worried about visual spoilers then check the article out, it's quite comprehensive!

Not that I would be buying this on console, but if I was, PS5..... easily. Load times + DualSense + same performance/visuals as the more powerful console = no brainer!
Well, there will be a loading period every time you load a save file but then again, with Quick Resume you probably won't be doing that as much. Saying that, I used Quick Resume a lot during my RE7 play though the other week and that game was terrible for time keeping when sessions were resumed, it thinks I spent close to 100 hours playing it, wonder if they fixed that for Village..
The Series X load times are still extremely minimal; you still wouldn't have time to really do anything before the game finished loading. Crazy for the PS5, though.
Series X with a bit of a performance advantage and PS5 with a bit of a loading advantage. Cool to see that Capcom leaned into the main focus of each console's design for this. Both seem like excellent versions and it holds up really well with RT on. If only there was dynamic res to keep it locked
Damn i can't play until Monday! RT seems the way to go it looks slightly brighter according to this video
Insane loading on PS5, but it seems longer than it should be on Xbox imo. Still well done version on all consoles, bar Series S RT mode. What were Capcom thinking? Cap it at 30.
Slight edge on Series X, which is where I'l m getting it, but wow I'm now more convinced than ever that these consoles have got to be the closest in performance ever.
Can't wait to see what the first party studios (Coalition and ND in particular) will come up later in the gen to push the consoles to the max
