Resident Evil 4 Remake Gameplay - 4K HDR (150% Render Resolution) looks insane

CG writes: Having played through Capcom’s just released Resident Evil 4 Remake demo several times in regular SDR, we decided to crank things up a notch and go the whole-hog. Not only did we activate HDR, but pushed the game’s render resolution to 150%. We’re not sure on the math, but it’s way above the native 4K base we were using. Either way, the HDR itself offers a far darker tone to the game. Where we can’t imagine going back to SDR. The darkness felt much more oppressive, brooding unseen horrors, where Leon’s flashlight (in the cabin section) illuminated the grotesque imagery that inhabits that area of the demo. Either way, we’ve recorded the game in 4K HDR, and strongly suggest you take a look at our complete playthrough of the demo at its best (Youtube compression aside).

Finally a current PC game that's fully optimized and taking advantage of the hardware. I actually like the RE engine!

I'm playing on PC but find that Leon's hair almost looks like it has scan lines at times.

Has anyone else noticed this?

I'm playing on a LG OLED and have the game set to 4K with hair works on I believe high.

camel_toad431d ago

I've seen other engines do that but I haven't played the demo yet so I can't confirm it with this. Also using an LG oled so I'll report back.

It happens when you use the hair strands settings. I noticed it immediately and I hope they fix it at launch

IcedOmega13431d ago

I turned off the hair strand setting to fix that.

autoglope431d ago

My pc can run it like this as well but the game keeps crashing.

Snookies12431d ago (Edited 431d ago )

Man, this game is shaping up nicely! RE4 is my favorite of the franchise, followed by (original) RE3. Played the demo on console, and it was fantastic! Gotta check this out on PC to see how it runs... Either way, definitely supporting this. Only issue I have with it, so far. Is the fact that you can't turn off the crosshair/reticle on the HUD without turning everything off... I dig the no HUD option, but it's kind of dumb that it even turns off prompts to check things, pick up items, etc.

If you're wanting more PSVR 2 support, you should probably buy all of these games.

Speak with your wallet!

Profchaos58d ago

Bit rich to have to buy games you don't want because you want Sony to support the expensive headset they sold us which cost as much as the console it runs on beyond paying third partys to support it.
Seriously in terms of first party we have horizon on day 1 and a gt 7 vr mode.

They seemingly have made little effort to support it beyond paying Capcom to make re games in VR or a second party studio to make firewall which was mismanaged.

I'm a day 1 psvr2 user and the only thing I'm excited for right now is PC support.

I commented recently this bespoke VR game development model we have right now clearly doesn't work

crazyCoconuts58d ago

On the one hand I feel like there's been plenty of smaller non-AAA games to play and occupy me as a supplement to my flat screen gaming.
But I agree that Sony has done nothing to elevate this beyond the niche it's in and into the mainstream where it would be economical to create AAA games for it.

Babadook758d ago (Edited 58d ago )

Most of these games are worth owning for most people; I own all but 2 of them in fact. So I agree with kevco33. I think you're crazy if you downplay this list quite frankly. Sony can't keep funding software if people don't buy any of it, the ball is squarely in OUR court.

Sony has spent a lot on 3rd party stuff this gen like RE.

phoenixwing58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

Saving up for the headset is my first hurdle. Let alone buying games I don't want lol

mudakoshaka58d ago

People downvoting you for not having enough finances...what a world we live in, haha

phoenixwing58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

@mudako
They feel affronted at the very thought that I don't plunk down 500 immediately lol I have a little over 900 games in my backlog I've been buying games instead of hardware ever since I got my PC and ps5. I just don't know if vr is really for me honestly. Every time I have a couple hundred allocated to video games it makes more sense to buy a bunch of flat games instead of vr ones

mudakoshaka58d ago

I have 9 out of these 10 games. I try to buy all the VR games I like to support the advancement of VR!

TheEroica57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

I spoke with my wallet after watching the first headset get weak support. Easy pass until Sony earns my money. Feel bad for those who parted with 500 bucks, falling for the hype that Sony was actually gonna support this thing.

I own 7 of these titles off the list, lol.

NotoriousWhiz58d ago

I'm trying to decide if it's worth holding onto my psvr 2. I enjoy what it has currently, but it seems unlikely to get anything else. Might be better off just waiting for something with more support if that ever comes.

Profchaos58d ago

As a fellow psvr2 owner the question seemingly comes down to do you own a PC.

I think I'm all in I have a habit to hold onto my systems anyhow I still have my psvr1 to hell I still have my NES.

But while it's still worth something yeah you could sell it and if Sony turns the ship around you should be able to buy another one for less than you soldmit for I feel like we won't see any fix for the headset for the next 2 years rumours show that Sony has no current first party VR games in active development after they closed London studios

The whole psvr2 situation has left me feeling a little burnt on PlayStation as a whole to be honest. The first psvr felt experimental but it was supported far more than this superior headset

MIDGETonSTILTS1758d ago

GT7 surprised me, because I hate racing games, but i poured 100 hours into it way too quickly.

I’m looking forward to the Metro VR game this year, and I hope that WW2 dogfighter game releases eventually.

talocaca58d ago

I have most of them 😅

Waiting for a sale on Synapse and Arizona Sunshine 2.....also Metro coming this year looks great.
