For those may not know, the RE8 demo was released earlier today on Steam. It’s graphics settings were quite similar to RE2 Remake and I myself have dabbled in it. While there are few optimization issues, there seems to be a consensus that the game is really optimized.
However, there is one glaring issue and that is the lack of a FOV slider. Someone on the Steam forums had pointed out that the game runs at a default 81 FOV and there is no way of changing it so far. This has caused great discomfort, myself included, for those who play with monitors. Considering RE7 had a FOV slider, it seemed strange that RE8 would lack one, especially since both are FPS.
If there is no intention to change this from the developers, given how the game will be released in a few days, it may put off people from purchasing the PC version of the game. There are plenty of people who have decided to refund the game.
Hopefully this is a mishap on the developers part and a FOV slider will be added later …
Two of my friends who love the franchise have not played the game or haven’t finished it because it was too scary, another two of them had to play it with me at home lol.
I think this is a sign of how well crafted that game is and is sad they are taking a route that is aimed to make the game more appealing for more people.
One thing I loved about RE:7 since I saw the first trailers was the context of it. The Massacre from Texas style they gave to the game was excellent, it puts you in the shoes of someone who is trapped in a rotting house in the extremely hot swamps of southern U.S with a psychopathic family who is observing you constantly and trying to kill you and to me that was scary and exciting as fuck. I have finished that game maybe three times already and one moment that I cannot forget was when in my first playthrough I had to go the “basement” of the house, where the boiler room is and how fucking scared I was to go down there because I was low on resources, it was dark af …
I just bought a key for a friend of mine to play the game together but unfortunately the activation is blocked in Germany.
Write a comment and tell me why you want to get the key. I will choose a comment tomorrow.
Good luck!
I have two HDR compatible (full 10 bit 444 each) LG OLED TV connected to my rig but couldn’t activate HDR in the demo even with it on in Windows.
Turns out that you need to unplug the second screen for it to be available (other people on Steam noticed the same). I hope Capcom will fix that before the game releases, RE2 had no such limitation.
EDIT: Doesn’t look like a good PC port at all other than the performance to be honest. The main menu is hard to navigate via mouse wheel (use the keyboard instead) and clearly not made for mouse usage. To change the resolution you need to circle through all available resolutions one by one and the game applies each resolution directly, meaning your screen will flash throughout the process. All the ingame menus are also in the typical Japanese console game style.
I somehow can’t change the system volume while in game (both my sound cards external volume wheel as well as my keyboard buttons don’t do nothing). Alt tabbing …
Looking for a game to play with friends that’s like Takeshi’s castle’s honeycomb maze where you try to escape the rooms while being hunted by friends
