During the Capcom Next digital show, Capcom confirmed what we knew all along, and that's a new Resident Evil game is in development!
Digital Foundry writes: "It's delivering sharp, stable and convincing 4K imagery from around one quarter the native pixel count, it's competitive with PC equivalents and represents a big, big improvement over the PSSR of the past. And the notion that this upgrade may apply to all prior titles that support the older version of the technology is mouthwatering - potentially it's a system-wide improvement to the console's library."
Very cool. Such an upgrade. I am wishing I would have pulled the trigger on a Pro during the holidays when it was discounted. Can't wait to see how it upgrades other games as well.
People were wondering what took so look given that Sony co developed FSR4... but the system wide update helps fill in the blanks here. They actually made it quasi drop in with the toggle so like with DLSS you will be able to force the newest model as opposed to cutting off the old software. Somehow we got the best possible timeline for PSSR. This changes the value prop for the Pro and gives us insight into what Next Gen can offer in terms of ML support.
" Somehow we got the best possible timeline for PSSR."
I'm happy they fixed it for us PS5 Pro owners and a patch is coming to hopefully fix other titles, but I guess I'm not following you here. A better timeline would no doubt be a much better PSSR out-the-gate that didn't leave some games looking like ass (e.g., every UE5 game I think...).
Kotaku writes: "A Resident Evil Requiem review published by long-standing UK gaming news site Videogamer has been removed from Metacritic after readers pointed out it was written by a fake AI journalist who doesn’t actually exist. Videogamer‘s human masthead was gutted last week, sources tell Kotaku, and the site has been publishing apparent genAI slop ever since."
Genuinely well done on metacritic for taking such an immediate hard stance. Not often, if at all, you see that these days. Credit where it’s due.
This is really sad on so many levels. Not least of all the fact that all the human lost their jobs to a language model. Can we block all content coming from Videogamer site. Can we make a rule that content sumitted to N4G must be greated by a human being.
I'm gonna report every Videogamer article I see on N4G from now on so just putting it out there.
Isnt videogamer one of the N4G owner run sites?
Seems to fit their MO to cut corners and push cheap dribble.
Check my comments, over a year ago I was calling out videogamer and N4G on their AI articles pushing slop 24/7
It is amazing but I'm starting to slightly miss the moron gaming press we had in the 2010s because at least they were human.
The Outerhaven previewed Resident Evil 9: Requiem at Summer Game Fest 2025 during a hands-off demo. New gameplay, perspective swap, and the series' next protagonist were all shown. Here’s what we saw.
“This was confirmed by game director Koshi Nakanishi during the show’s ending segment:”
So Resident Evil 7s director returns for 9. Sounds good to me. Make it VR please!
I liked 8, but man was it a mess in terms of RE lore and having really any connection to anything. Like, it could be a whole new IP and I’d have never thought for once it was an RE game. I’m hoping with 9 they bring it back to labs and B.O.W.’s and not go so crazy into supernatural mold and R/C Cola magneto man.
RE7 and RE:Village are some of the best experiences in VR i've had. VR redefines how to play horror games and Capcom know it. Regardless of PSVR2 sales, i think the team know its the definitive way to play Resident Evil.
Anyone that disagrees with this simply hasn't played RE on the PSVR2.
god i hope its not open world
Now, who would be the next protagonist? I mean Ethan Winters is dead, I don't know if her daighter might, Chris looks old AF. Will Capcom satisfy once again to thir thirst audience? All this and more on the next episode of RE9
