Digital Foundry vs Resident Evil on PS4

Capcom's classic Resident Evil franchise returns, manifesting on current-gen consoles in the form of two releases in the first three months of 2015. First up, we're in remaster territory, with a full HD rendition of 2002's Resident Evil remake - enough to tide over fans until the March launch of the next major entry, Resident Evil Revelations 2. But to what extent is the more powerful Xbox One and PlayStation 4 hardware actually utilised in this brace of titles?

So again why is this game not locked 30fps? It's dropping below 26 fps wth is that crap? Inexcusable

Sayburr4145d ago

My guess is the game is running on an old engine that doesn't use multiple threads... but, that is only a guess.

zeee4145d ago

Inexcusable indeed. No way an I buying that, no way.

hay4144d ago (Edited 4144d ago )

It seems that asset loading isn't threaded, therefore it takes few frames time at once when a zone or enemy is put into the scene.

Very straightforward "remaster".

BattleTorn4145d ago

"While it hardly pushes the PS4 hardware" ... it dips into the 20s....... WTF

Lord_Sloth4145d ago

Un-Optimized doesn't mean it's pushing the system, just that it's not properly optimized for said system.

Dipping to 20 fps is shoddy programming.

ive said it before and ill say it again, this is a bs piece of crap remake cash grab by a starving company desperately trying to relive its glory days. I mean, all they're doing is slapping 1080p resolution on an ancient game, with some minor texture improvements to the main characters. Given the fact that this game is still utilizing the pre-rendered backgrounds from the original, there's no reason why this piece of crap shouldn't run at 60FPS.

Assassingamer1364145d ago

Exactly and it's not like a game like this needs 60fps but it still couldn't run 30fps solid.

Dario_DC4145d ago

Camera change = frame drops.. Strange optimization there...

Maxor4145d ago

Capcom is a shadow of what it used to be.

MehmetAlperTR4145d ago (Edited 4145d ago )

It's not surprise. Because it's cRaPCom..

spacedelete4145d ago (Edited 4145d ago )

not even a locked 30fps ? are they serious ? i was almost about to buy this game when it releases but definitely not now.

At first I was like, No Code Veronica on the list!? But then I seen Mainline. The list checks out, but I would personally put 2 over 4.

KwietStorm_BLM80d ago

I'll take 2 over 4 also. And even without a number, I don't see how Code Veronica, my other favorite in the franchise, isn't mainline when it's the actual sequel to RE2.

Rebel_Scum80d ago

The original RE was the best. Its not on the list which makes no sense.

The remake of it was alright but should be higher on this list.

-Foxtrot80d ago

The original RE smokes VII and Village, come on.

ivoryrolland9560d ago

i’m fine with people calling it “mainline,” but leaving out the original re1 entirely is wild, since it basically defines the whole series. i’d still put re2 over re4 for pure pacing and atmosphere, even though re4 is the more replayable game. also, the “mainline” label gets messy with code veronica since it feels more essential than some numbered entries. i swear half the time i’m reading these rankings i get derailed by random gambling tabs i opened earlier, including https://monopolybigballerli... and https://football-studio-dic... and https://red-baron.org/ which is a weird contrast to talking about survival horror.
