Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

[Zimmy]

I'm waiting on a deal on the Microsoft Store version so I can cross play with the Xbone.

[mynakedrat2]

I get that, but how am I supposed to guess I can't get a crucial item I the middle of a boss fight or how many spaces it takes to get it!

The point I think is to not keep a whole Bunch of healing stuff and ammo, and get gûd while boss battling.
Plus you can go back to a save point and dump out a lot of what you don't need before said battle, to your suitcase ��

Also you gotta keep in mind, this is classic style Resident Evil, where you pick your battles and run your ass away from most enemies. You don't need to carry 60 shotgun shells and 80 rounds of hand gun ammo.

Yeah, I got that. I wish I had that many shells...

I'm stuck scared in the garage. Gotta focus my nerves to get past his guy. Damn. Maybe playing everything in the dark with surround isn't the best lol

I got passed him first time.... most of my shots were headshots though lol.

I was trying to take him out by getting in the car, but he kept grabbing me out, and this last time, he just jumped in the car, and i followed him by the passenger door and kept shooting him in the head.
and he died

[azalea]

Got through the first 'arena' boss fight, shame you have to beat them in a predesignated way only, and 'not enough slots' for device was rather annoying for a part of it...

Not true, I only found something after the end of the fight.

[mynakedrat2]

Am I able to kill the black gross guys? I just run like he'll, but in some corridors they multiply and corner me I'm having a tough times with the jump scares when they show up lol

headshots my friend...always go for the head. I usually end up missing way too many times. but I killed them all....for the immediate time....

I just finished it on normal, I should have played it on a harder difficulty, I ended up with huge amounts of ammo and chemicals and like 20 green herbs. I thought it was decent over all 7.5/10.. I just don't like the fact that you have limited inventory and you have 10 different weapons to choose from and you don't know whats coming around the corner.

I found myself gathering items and then running back to stash boxes frequently just in case I ever needed them. I killed mostly everything that I came across except in a couple spots where I didn't have a weapon.

I didn't find it that scary either, I was expecting it to be a bit more tense.
But it was a good game all in all.

So far a wonderful game. Reminds me of Texas Chainsaw (first 70's movie, my favorite horror film), House of 1000 Corpses (which is kinda Texas Chainsaw reboot) with some classic RE gameplay. I find it scary as hell.

Fluid & crisp game play with very nice graphics and performance.

Ah, not cut and run, got it lol. I am literally running around with a knife and hoping for the best. Gotta get that shotgun
Do they respawn? That would almost make me quit playing. Scary stuff, and that music!

I thought I was clever and kept outrunning him even if he came back out of a different wall in front of me again. Then I realized there was more than one. I got gang banged in the engine room by about 5 of them and had to start killing and running like a scared little girl (with a handgun).

More of them later? Why, that would be spoiling it for you.

You can combine items to make stronger ammo for the handgun and many other things.

[mynakedrat2]

ok, i may be able to breath and release a little tension next time i play.

[logical]

I want to play but I dont want to play with black bars on 21:9. I will purchase if they ever support ultrawide.

Which settings to reduce the blur in this game? I am currently using FXAA + TXA and it is very blurry.

[Mangler]

Use SMAA or just TAA, SMAA will be the sharpest, but it will have more aliasing than TAA.

[Kain]

I use just TAA with a "resolution scaling" of 1.2 at 1080p.

Those both add blur. Get reshade sweet fx, there's a sharpen tool that works great. Looks amazing. Mafia 3 was the same way, and reshade did wonders.

Completed this today, took about 11 hours overall. Great game and a return to form for the RE franchise. Visuals, level design, atmosphere were all exceptional. The gameplay, while simplistic in nature, is exactly what was needed to bring the old school feel of the RE games into a modern era.

The actual world design, especially the indoor areas (95% of the game) are probably the game's highlight. Every single room felt handcrafted top to bottom, you could stop in any room of the game and marvel at the attention to detail of "everything", the models; the lighting; the atmosphere; the layout; the 'story' of the room being told - it's one of the those games where the amount of time the devs spent on the design of one room, is the same as another game's devs might spend on an entire level. For any gamers who like to stop and admire the little bits and pieces of the world he's playing in, this game would be a treat.

I could see a valid complaint being the length of the title, many players will finish this in about 8 hours - however the game is designed with multiple optional hidden areas/items, a plot choice midway, and different item locations depending on difficulty to encourage multiple playthroughs. One is enough for me though, PC gamers got this for 35 bucks so no complaints there. It would have been nice if there was another world area in the game (like a hospital or police station to bring back some of the RE nostalgia), but that may cause the game to drag on too much. Congrats capcom on bringing this franchise back on track.

For all the people waiting for official 21:9 support its not coming.

But some people on WSGF got a fix working with a hex edit on the exe.

Thanks.

The first hour was pretty good! Much better than my time with the demo. It seemed more cohesive and linear. Couple of good scares and tense moments.

The outdoor area at the start was really ugly though, thankfully the indoor areas look great.

yeah, even the indoor areas look pretty blurry and washed out, is this fixable or the intent...

I think some of it is atmosphere/setting (washed out colors) but I don't find it blurry in the house. It does use a few techniques that could be doing that, did you try switching them off?

I have chromatic aberration off and also increased render resolution. Depth of field makes a few situations blurry but I like the effect and it isn't abused so far (mainly scripted sequences)

Has anyone tried this sli trick

Yes, a week ago. Light sources get some flickering like a strobe light.
Too distracting.

My main thing was I had to lower my Texture Quality to Medium. Not high or very high. I have only 3GB video cards. Any higher quality and the game pauses to load the textures sometimes for almost what seems a minute.

you can fix it with a reshade preset. looks amazing afterward, i have linked it several times up there ^^^

[Lurk]

I'm at the part where I see Mia and Zoe on a monitor after ending Lucas' 'test session'.

Do I still have a bit to play? Enjoying this a lot and hate to see it finish so soon

I think you'll be surprised by how much is left.

3/4ths of the way in.

That's what she said.

cool, thanks
taking this as slow as possible. I've just passed the 10hrs mark.

That's what she said.

p.s. on a side note, has anyone here played The Evil Within?
I'm wondering if it can quench the thirst I have for rotten horror games now that I got into RE7...

[nutcrackr]

still liking it 4.5 hrs in

Just killed Marguerite Baker, that was a fun fight and she was creepy as hell when she transformed. Jack Baker was a good fight too, closer and funny as hell when his legs went for a walk Not really sure what to make of Zoe yet

I have a lot of resources but I'm always short of Chem fluid.

I wish you could drop items, seems silly that you can't just place an item on the ground while you pick up and combine something else. I guess it usually isn't far to the nearest storage container and compared to other RE games (RE5) it's nowhere near as rigid.

[Exposed]

Just started this game last night, gotta say atmosphere wise it is a very compelling game so far. I like how it's like "Resident Evil" but without the limitations of previous resident evil games as far as gameplay mechanics.

On a side note, I noticed there is some nasty "ghosting like" effect when you turn. It's not quite stuttering (though that also exists), the scene "ghosts" often when looking around, regardless of turn speed and regardless of framerate.

What effect is responsible for this so I can turn it off? Annoying as hell.

For reference I'm running the game at 4k resolution with all details max (FXAA + TXAA) and scaling set to 1.2, shadow cache off.

[mynakedrat2]

ill check that out, do a turn and take a screenshot. is it like a motion blur? Are you running reshade?

[kboye]

I thought that was the txaa?
