Summary from the video description:
- In PS5 and Series X the Ray-Tracing mode is activated by default. In S Series it must be activated.
- Resolution is identical on PS5 and SeriesX. Both run at 2160p and, although it uses a checkerboard-like technique unique to RE Engine, the game seems to never drop below 2160p. S series runs at 1440p.
- In the Xbox versions the lighting seems somewhat warmer in the town area. Personally I find it more successful since the PS5 version sometimes gives a too blue tone. In any case, it is a setting that we can easily change on our TVs.
- Series X performs better than PS5 with Ray-Tracing activated, suffering fewer drops. Higher stress areas will have to be tested in the final version to better see the differences.
- In Series S, we have an average of 40FPS with the RT activated. I recommend playing without RT in this version, since we will get a practically stable 60FPS.
- The quality of the Ray-Tracing in global illumination as in reflections is identical.
- Loading times are slightly faster on PS5, about 3 seconds. Excellent loading times in all 3 versions.
- Same quality of shadows, textures and anisotropic filtering in the 3 versions.

Nice nice.
Just played the demo on my Series X and with rt. It wasn't buttery, and there was alot of pop in. Hopefully the retail is silky.

Same thing with the PS4 Pro. The "4K" mode runs un-capped, when it REALLY oughta have been a 30 FPS cap.
It's either somehow baked into the engine in such a way that Capcom isn't able to ... or it's just a massive oversight ... that there isn't a 30 FPS cap for Pro/SS and likely Xbox One X.
Capcom wasn't really lying when they said 45 fps for Series S RT mode huh. It seems to hover around there most of the time, or a little lower. Still prob better to cap at 30 for smoothness. I doubt changing to 1080p would be enough. Doesn't even seem like RT is worth it? I can't even see a difference, really. I mean, the other consoles it's almost 60 always so I guess if you want, go for it.
They said 1440p30 for the RT mode and 1440p45 for the performance mode. In other words they undersold the games performance on all platforms.
Oh, gotcha. Definitely surprised then. It's doing great on non RT for a game running at 1440p and not lower at performance mode! Great little machine. Even tho I have an XSX, I think the S gets a bad rap, but Capcom showing some work.
Why are developers doing this? Cap it at 30 if a mode is running ~40FPS average. Thanks for the summary Chandoog

Yes, RT On/Off is a toggle in the options, you can only do it from the main menu, not once the game starts.
Yep. And the framerate is solid as a rock on both consoles if you do.

Yes, it doesn't start on the main menu.
But once you start and are in the game, it will continue everywhere, including cut-scenes.

In some areas it does feel like it yes, in one section near the end of the village part, RT on adds volumetric fog and light reflects on it where none of that's there with RT off.
There are also these comparisons from NXGamer from last week.
Doesn't need to go that low. I was just messing around with this on PC and benching it myself. Like, if this was just below 4k it'd be locked on series X and PS5 with RT on. 1800p would be more than enough. Could probably be higher than that.
Sure! Forgot about that potential possibility. Hope Capcom adds 1800p RT ON/OFF support for PS5/X.

Quick Resume isn't as easily addable imo. After all it relies on VM and PS games don't run in VM. If PS ever gets the feature it'll be a while imo.
Resi looks to be the perfect example why VRR is so damn important. Looks like Series X is the way to go

A shame then, for me Quick Resume is the most next gen feature out there. I no longer want to play on PC due to it.

Aiming controls are incredibly fucked up on Series X. VRR ain't worth that (coming from a C9 owner).
Hopefully there will be a patch to adress that issue. But there are not many people complaining about that, so here's hoping it's not too bad.
VRR on the other hand is just incredible, probably one of the best next gen features. Playing Resi on my CX without any hitches? I'm game.
Can't wait for Unreal 5 games to arrive. Their non-triangle RT GI looks just as good as RT GI, and that should allow these consoles to focus their RT hardware on reflections. Not to mention unlimited detail with Nanite. Imagine how incredible games are going to look.
Quoting myself from the demo thread:
tl;dr right stick diagonals on Xbox seems to be at a lower sensitivity which makes camera movement feel randomly heavy and inconsistent.
Standard Ray Traced techniques probably wouldnt work well with Unreal Engine 5's Nanite (the more polygons, the complex the BVH, and Nanite pushes in a lot of polygons), this is why they made Lumen that does not rely on triangle based RT and rather on a combination of multiple techniques to get very close to real time Ray Traced global illumination, well, I am saying that, but there are 2 possibilities for the RT hardware usage.
The first is to take the same approach that Housemarque did for Returnal, use the Ray Traced acceleration to speed up the rasterized GI solution in areas where it could be done faster with that unit's capabilities, given that it is trying to imitate the effects of Ray Tracing, it is not crazy to imagine that the hardware could still serve some use in that even on a technique that does not directly try to trace light particles (it is possible that Lumen is already doing that to be fair, but I dont think Epic said you need an RT supporting card for it). That way Lumen could be done quicker and have developers push other graphical aspects beside Ray Tracing.
The second approach would be to create a simplified version of the world and keep it stored in memory and have the RT hardware creates a BVH tree of it and run its RT calculations based on that, the advantage is that you obviously can get more Ray Traced effects, but the disadvantages are that depending on how Nanite works, it could invalidate a major advantage of the technology (still gotta create manual LoDs for RT), and Lumen costs more performance. If Nanite can have the capacity to self generate simpler LoDs for the use case of RT then that would at least make the problem easier.
Personally, I rather the first appraoch, it could make Lumen that much more performant and help developers push other effects beside RT while still looking very convincing as... well, UE5's Lumen is just really impressive, and it doesnt make the developer's jobs potentially harder by forcing them to manually make LoDs regardless of Nanite.
Yeah, I noticed this straight away as well. Definitely going to go with the PS5 version as the lack of VRR isn't as big a deal-breaker to me compared to wonky controls. Sucks, because I feel like my Series X is being neglected a bit when it comes to new games :(
Damn that's a bigger difference than I expected.In some areas it does feel like it yes, in one section near the end of the village part, RT on adds volumetric fog and light reflects on it where none of that's there with RT off.
