Resident Evil Village releasing May 7th, 2021 (PS4, PS5, X1, XSX, Steam), PS5 demo out now
- Thread starter Sargerus
- Start date
Underwhelming demo. 15 min, kinda linear, I had a clunky encounter with the demo enemy (she bit me twice but I could follow my route without so much issues) and ended right away in a similar manner than the RE7 demo. Visually is alright, mixing some pretty great models and interiores with not so great textures and a cross-gen feeling (in fact, the lamp room has frame drops).
fyi, you can set the movement camera acceleration setting to "none" so you can play without the feeling of input lag.
Should have put the demo on PS4 as well seeing as no one but scalpers can actually find a PS5 anywhere.
Resi 6 and Xbox was another... in addition to numerous other games. This is actually pretty standard practice for Capcom... but people apparently have short memories when they want to I guess.

Lol, Campcom is tooootally making RE4 remake and RE8 back to back reusing assets between them. All the rooms I've seen in the demo were screaming "RE4 castle interiors".
It's fine though, RE4 looking this good will be cool.

Personally, the best looking interiors I've ever seen in a game. Additionally, the sounds are INCREDIBLE
People would talk about it regardless. It's Resident Evil. But anyway, I'm going to stop pouting about this now.
Capcom would never reuse assets.
What? Bolt cutters? I don't know what you're talking about.
The little nods to RE4 are what got me the most, easily. I'm not the biggest fan of these being in first person but the setting and those things got my interest up.
This looks really promising. I dig the return of what seem like traditional zombies. The vampire ladies also look good.
Yep. Definitely for reflections. RT shadows may have been a better fit in the environment in the demo, HOWEVER the awful SSR that RE engine uses being gone is a big win.
Well that was... fleeting. lol
Some gorgeous looking interiors in this demo. There are rooms where the graphics really shine. And I'm getting the feeling that the full game will be properly scary/stressful, just like 7 was.

Holy fuck strolling through that mansion was creepy. It's wild how different the main tall vampire and the other woman looked in terms of their character model. The woman in black looked awful.
yeah as soon as they announced this last year and I knew that would be the case.
also capcom loves bolt cutter now.
Do you need to play RE7 to have a better experience with RE8?
I'm not that into this type of game but somehow the atmosphere of Village caught my attention, maybe it's the whole Bloodborne vibes that I'm getting from it.

The moment I saw that chain I knew that was coming, lol. All looked the same.
It's still super weird to me there is zero body awareness in this. Bolt cutters float, you can walk away while the lock picks, you have some phantom flashlight projecting from your face at the start that goes away. You scoop the lockpick out of a bowl of blood but the entire effect is lost when it just levitates out.
I recorded like 4 minutes of it if anyone cares. The fun and prettier parts you can explore yourself or look it up elsewhere but you know what to expect anyway. HDR is not on for this video but game includes it.
I mean it's obvious that RE8 is a biiiig love letter to RE4 (village, castle, crazy castle owner constantly repeating you name, crazy European locals trying to kill you, Luis Sera in a Bloodborne cosplay outfit trying to hunt you down, crazy monk not!zombies AND A MERCHANT) with a solid chunk of RE7 mixed in.
HOLD ME MOMMMYYYY ::DDDDD wait what are the knifes for oh NO WAI
I had my fun with it but let the community find a finger. There's lots of locked doors so I bet there's something super secret tucked away somewhere.
Is the demo not on the EU (German?) PSN? It's actually the first time I try to find a Demo in PS5, so I am wondering if anyone can help me out?
The conversation was too one-sided... Now it's 4 sided!
EDIT: 7 sided my bad

It's like a Beginning Hour demo. You play with a different character in a section that isn't in the main game.
You play as a separate character in a scenario where you are trying to get out of the castle. Short with no combat but minor RE puzzle solving elements and just incredible atmosphere.
It's not on the Dutch site either but on console it shows up
How's the game play / handle? One of my biggest gripes with 7 is just how slow and weighty the game handles, especially in Molded encounters.
Aw. I was hoping we could experience more combat. Well the enemy designs look better and that was really the only problem with the combat in 7 so I guess I don't have to worry much about that.
They said right in the showcase that there was no combat in the demo.
I'll have to give it a try tonight and see if it looks good enough that I'll forgive no VR.
