Resident Evil 4 Remake - DF Tech Review - The Definitive Version?

[@demontheory]

You can get the laser sight a little bit further on in the game. Just gotta do a couple of alternate missions to get 10 spinels and get it from the merchant

[@thegreatpoo2electricboogal318]

Yeah but it's only for the pistol 😢

[@StarRain6]

its still wrong because OG does not lock the reticule to center screen.

Right like how much of the game did he play if he didn’t even see this in the shop

[@Ninetaled]

​​@@jacoblterry well considering DF pretty much focuses on reviewing graphics, he doesn't have to beat the game to mention all the enhancements, just get to areas that show it off. But defiantly could of done a bit of googling to see the laser attachment is received later in the game.

[@DeepStone-6]

the laser isn't as cool as the OG I only see the red dot, the red line ain't there or maybe it's cuz i have Volumetric Fog turned off.

[@maathatter]

The laser sight is an upgradable feature for the pistol which can be obtained via spinels (the Merchant's side missions) Edit: it is an attachment, not an upgrade

[@orangegamer001]

That's exactly what I was thinking when he started "wishing/hoping" for capcom to add it in, and from what I seen, it gives the feel of the original aiming. Kind of silly for them to complain/mention something like that

[@princessoscar3089]

@@orangegamer001 Yeah they should actually try playing the game before making false statements like that lol. It would've been easy to go into the Merchant and see it there.

[@xsct878]

Unfortunately it's an attachment you can only use on two pistols that are admittedly weaker than the rest, but the dead on accuracy of the laser, paired with the remake's ability for you to now move while aiming and firing, makes for a potent mix.

As for the control lag issue on Xbox Series, wouldn't a larger VRR window with the rubberbanding refresh rate be the culprit of the perceived control issue? If they raised the actual frame rate by lowering the resolution window a bit, it should make less VRR rubberbanding which should help with the control issue some.

I’m glad you said something about the laggy controls on Xbox. I hope Capcom will take note and do something to fix it.

[@adamsteinbacher2629]

So glad I chose to get this on PC rather than PS5. Somehow I usually have bad luck choosing between the two and end up with the poorly optimized version of games at launch, but thanks to the demo I was able to confirm my PC preorder was the right move. The game looks gorgeous being driven by an RTX 3080 12gb. Looking forward to Alex's video!

[@duffybrute]

I also have the 3080 12GB version. How's the FPS on 1440p? Can you run it on max setting with RT? Thanks!

[@adamsteinbacher2629]

@@duffybrute Avg around 140 fps, and I've been running everything at Max except for shadows (set to High), but RT off due to the known crashing issues and my dislike for the impact FSR has on visual quality. I hate the shimmer it adds. About 11/12 gb vram utilization. Some random loading stutters here and there but otherwise a very smooth experience.

[@NeedleDeedle69]

@@adamsteinbacher2629 just fyi the game doesn’t actually use anywhere close to 12gb of vram, even at 1440p max settings with Rt on. Monitoring tools tend to report vram allocation, which is very different from vram utilization

[@crisnmaryfam7344]

@@duffybrute Im pretty much locked at 144@1440p with my set up. R7 3800x, 32g ram, x570 mobo, m.2 nvme ssd's, and the Evga rtx3080 xc3. I disabled motion blur and the other "motion sickness" causing things, everything else is max. RT is not able to be switched on for me, not sure why that is, if its been disabled due to the known crashing or what. Ive only noticed a few times the game dipped below 140, The clock tower explosion scene shown in this video is one such case.

[@adamsteinbacher2629]

@@NeedleDeedle69 I saw that while running the game, nowhere near full allocation. There's definitely some optimization to be done, and I hope Capcom can figure out whatever is going on with ray tracing and crashing. I'd like to use it but I'd rather have a crash-free experience.

[@sean8102]

Glad to see John give the fantastic RE 4 HD Project mod a shout out. 1.0 came out a few months back and replaces every single texture in the game with a higher quality version. While staying amazingly faithful to the original. The author of the mod even made some trips to get source photos at some of the same locations the developers visited when making the original.

[@Particle_Ghost]

Took a week's vacation to play this and so far I'm about 5 hours in, and it has exceeded all expectations. I'm shocked so far how true the environments even are to the original, they didn't take any shortcut. If I had to say anything bad, I would say the game is so good, it's very hard to go back to the 2 and 3 remakes. While I like them both for different reasons, the thing is that they are both so short and linear, that the RE4 remake makes them feel like a tech demo because it's literally 5 times the game. They said Mercenaries Mode will also be coming as a free update. This game is going to stay in my system for about 6 months just like when the original came out, because I didn't remove it until I finished it about 20 times. This time it could be more.

[@CheckmateStallioN]

I love how CPU bottlenecks are a thing of the past if you are on any GPUs from 3080 upwards. Almost all games now are mainly GPU bound and hope it continues this way. You can literally have a 10 year old CPU and still be good to go with any card from 3080 and above. The only bottleneck now is pretty much the GPU. Also with a 4090 say goodbye to shader compilation frame drops. 4090 is the only card that eliminates any shader compilation or traversal stutter. Consoles are notorios for shader compilation issues since it has nothing to do with the engine it's all tied to amount of VRAM and with 24 GB of VRAM it pretty much compiles all shaders instantly

13:58 isn't there an upgrade for the gun that does this?

[@user-np5es9hc8p]

Playing the opening hours my only visual dissapointment is the distant terrain. It is muddy and quite low fidelity. Could have used a matte painting pass or higher res bakes to simulate distant scattering of vegetation like forests or shrubbery. It continues to be a lacking area in a few games as game dev artists seem to rely too heavily on terrain erosion heightfields and using them raw in game with only a colour map and normals to define it's detail. I would suggest taking a more VFX Film pipeline where assets such as these are treated as a 'matte paintings' which would tie into the high quality foreground levels a lot better.

[@shankp2302]

My only issue is the occasional traversal stutter. It's like a slowdown of less than a second when running through areas

I'm getting some bad texture pop-in on series X, anyone else? I just had it where I grabbed an item and all textures popped out and then back in or they do it after being in map every single time. Worst is when I'm already staring at a texture and it pops in for like 2 whole seconds in front of me. Noticed it a lot in the caves.

[@dangroesbeck7615]

Okay so I have found that you can replicate this to happen each time by going in and out of the map screen. After the map screen all environment textures go a low-res and then don't fully pop back high res until I start moving. The issue also happens on PS5 demo, but they snapback is much quicker, so it appears to be a texture streaming issue on Xbox? I really hope they fix, because the game looks overall better. Not sure why DF did not find this, because it's really bad...

He's speaking to the fact that this remake can't be as bold a reimagining of the original as Remake 2 and 3. The original RE4 was an over-the-shoulder shooter, and this is an over-the-shoulder shooter, ergo the differences are more nuanced.

"El Gigante" since it is a spanish name the pronunciation should be in the original language and not in a “english” way, the pronunciation of “GI” in spanish is similar to “HE” in english so you can pronounce it as “Hegante”. Aside from that, excellent video as always.
