I read in twitter that is fixed and looks much better than before

without images noone should believe that tho.

I want to remind everyone that on REEEEE there was a guy who had a review copy of the Xbox version and claimed the day 1 patch improved the deadzone... and that was purely made-up as well.

never trust anyone online unless you either know them and they are highly reliable, or you have evidence.

so I wouldn't go out and buy the version just yet if it's not confirmed

very true my man, i just said what i read, i have the pc version so i cannot assure anything. hopefully other people can prove it soon

what i know for certain is that the deadzone on xbox is fixed, my friend just told me

I'm on holidays, traveling, and I can't try the patch in XSX, but people say patch improved deadzones (great!) but downgraded IQ in XSX (WTF?!!). Is that real??

With the patch they have degraded the IQ of XSX to the point where, for me, the slight improvement in control does not compensate... And that has been without appreciating any improvement in performance...

Someone explain to me what sense it makes to do that.... 🤔🤔

Wait, what ? They improved the aiming input lag on the XSX but made the IQ worse ? What the f*ckkkkkkk, why ?
Any links my man ?

Yes, the IQ on XSX is clearly worse and there doesn't seem to be any noticeable performance improvement. The control response is better but still far from perfect.... Totally inexplicable decision. It's as if Capcom has set out not to make XBOX users happy by fixing problems but by creating new ones.
 
Just got to the Regenerators . I think they take a little more ammo than the original even . Not really worth all the ammo for just a ruby without the thermal scope.


I went with a full power Red9 (minus the exclusive so far) and a fully powered up Broken Butterfly with the exclusive as my main money burners for this run. Also rocking the tmp ,Striker , bolt action rifle , and Bolt gun. Playing on hard-core.

I see people knocking the bolt gun because of the low damage , and I agree for big fights it's useless . But I like using it for the 1 to 3 person encounters where you have some space to pot shot. Saves some good ammo over time. Plus the mines are effective vs everything.

what if Sony has a graphics parity deal with Capcom?
 
I'd like to get S+ on Pro on what would be my fourth playthrough, but I'm getting discouraged.

First playthrough was on Hardcore, but had saved 100 times exactly, no joke lol

Second playthrough was on assisted to get cross off some challenges

Third was with Infinite Rocket Launcher on Pro to get the Chicago Sweeper for the S+ Pro run

Fourth: I'm following an S+ Pro guide that has your first save after getting your gear back at the abandoned factory. Next save would be after Del Lago. The quarry town/minor encounters/fish farm/dogs at the quarry/Del Lago run is getting the better of me. Haven't even made it to the Del Lago fight yet mainly due to grabber enemies. I'll try to sprint around them but they'll grab me and I'll get chainsawed/whacked/axed.

How tf do people do this?! I'm assuming this isn't even the hardest part of the playthrough

You mean Jim Ryan stating that he is very concerned about the results of the DF and VGTech articles and that less polished or inferior versions on PS5 can damage and degrade the image of Playstation irreparably?? 😗

Anyway, (outside of cospiranoic theories?🤭) the only thing I know is that making XSX's IQ worse for no reason (because the performance does not seem to have improved unless it is appreciated) deserves an explanation.... We'll see DF

honestly the deadzone problem on xbox wouldn't be as much of an issue if Xbox supported gyroscope, you could use that and then not worry

does the PS5 version enable gyro when aiming?

the game has gyro aiming, but the gyro aiming is fucking dreadful.

it has a shitload of smoothing, a noticeable deadzone, and it has aim acceleration.

gyro aiming can be completely shit just like stick aiming, even mouse aiming can be awful as we saw with the PC port of Wo-Long.

so no, it would still be a problem

the same can be said about stick aiming, and you see that that's also an issue for developers apparently.

the best stick aiming is when it functions like an emulated mouse, same for Gyro.
and developers fuck both up regularly.

it took Fortnite 2 years or so to fix their god awful gyro aiming for example

Still have to finish it, on chapter 15 now but this remake is bloody amazing. I loved the game on the Cube, one of my most favourite game of all time but this one is even better I think. Also didn’t play it since the Cube so it feels new a lot of times.

seems useful
i want to get the matilda though because i remember having it in the original game and it made using the regular pistol actually fun with the burst fire... it requires 10 spinels to trade though. how do i get that stuff fast?

Yeeeahhh, i'm still stuck in the first village on Hardcore. The thing thats pissing me off is that everytime I die you have to start the whole cycle again and hope you dont get cheesed..

I think i'm too old, might dump it on normal. I wouldnt mind if it was a bit more fluid but once the mobs on you it's clunky town with you being stuck in a doorway getting the shit kicked out of you, with two bullets.
Play it on normal. I basically ran for my life until it was bingo time.

Yo seriously they need to nerf that fucking wheezing, panting and groaning :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Last night I'm just standing there in front of the merchant with both Leon and Ashley, I shift a step over to get the X prompt with him and BOTH of them just audially die right there. UUUNNGGG AAAARRRRRRGG *ORGASM NOISES* HUUH.................HUUUHHH ARGGHGHH. Who in the hell was trolling everyone with that frequency of noises!?

My mother was asking me the other day what kind of new hentai I was watching as the sounds from my basement can easily be heard inside the house. I also believe it was done intentionally by the director, but I'm still not moving.

lol now comes the hard part. do you use the exclusive perk on the chicago sweeper or the magnum for the Professional S+ rank? Or can you even use bonus weapons for S+ cat ears?
I don't care about ranks in this or any other Capcom game. To me it's just pointless waste of time. I've no plans to unlock everything in the game either cuz that's not why I play RE. I also don't use / buy stupid clothes / accessoreis (same goes for mods) for characters to make them look like clowns.

So a question about the exclusive upgrade for weapons - is the only way to unlock it with a ticket?

I read that it also unlocks of you upgrade every stat available too. But I fully leveled the starter handgun and I don't see any option to unlock the 5x crit chance and it isn't listed in the perks.

What am I missing?

You get it after you reach the castle or the island. i dont remember.

And yes, if you have everything fully leveled up to level 5, you will be able to buy it for another 100k. The exclusive ticket just makes it so that you dont have to pay that 100k and you dont need to level up everything to level 5.

Hmm. Well I just hit the castle last night. Just met nuSalazar. Hopefully i don't have to wait until the island. It would be silly if I had to play two thirds of the game before I was allowed to upgrade.

Thanks for clarifying.

On chapter 9 I missed using the decorated keyhole keys with Ashley in the library for some chests (knight area in the dark)

Can I ever get these back later??

If you want good gyro aim you need to use Steam. I am still waiting to see a console game with good gyro aim implementation.

Also is the exclusive upgrade ticket worth the 30x spinata or should I just grind each weapon out?
100% worth it.

Get it for weapons that give you 2x damage like the starting sniper and starting shotgun. you dont have to upgrade their ammo clips or reload speeds so you will save a few hundred thousand pesos on that.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Noice, I cleaned my PC today, it was long overdue and my CPU must have been throttling hard because I was getting stutters in games like this but now it's smooth sailing (same for Everspace 2 though that still gets semi frequent hitches here and there, this game's basically flawless so far instead).

Within reason of course, this is an aging setup with a dozen year old CPU and no SSD. Still, I can probably stretch to 60fps with lowering some settings further but I prefer higher settings and a lock to 30 here. Hair strands excluded, if I max it it hovers to 30 so it's probably not enough headroom left for busier scenes but just lowering one or two things from Max to High like the Shadows makes a big difference and it hovers at like 50 in the village area so hopefully that's enough for a solid lock to 30 without issues (or maybe lock to 40 or 45 with an external fps limiter instead of the game's).

The 4k cut scenes work flawlessly too now, previously they chugged like crazy and I blamed Capcom for being too incompetent to make a lightweight video player within the game lol, I didn't think it was that bad but it was (or maybe some patches since launch helped too).

Got the handcannon. That was easy. Thrilling too. Man they throw so many enemies at you but the incredibly fast fire rate is so damn satisfying it makes quick work of enemies even with a shitty handgun.

Got an S in the village because the damn chainsaw guy gored me even though i had ran past him. The other two I got S+s on. I really wish they unlock mayhem mode in the campaign. I love how powerful the guns feel.

Mercenaries is fun as hell, I don't remember if I ever played that mode in the original. Also, I swear my performance is even better post-patch. I'd see a lot of areas/cutscenes get down in the low 80FPS range previously and now they seem like they're closer to 100FPS or higher.

Just finished it and I'm finding it hard to see how anything is going to top it this year for me personally. Basically the perfect game in my opinion.
Indeed. My tastes have changed so much since I have far less free gaming time and this being what it is, nice length and relatively linear on top if just being generally fucking good topped it off.

If I'm honest, this is probably going to be my favourite game of the gen. As good as Elden Ring is, I had zero desire to play a second run after finishing it.

With this I'm on my 3rd run with plans to do 4 more for the plat trophy.

I just got to the island - and kinda dreading it a bit....just not very appealing visually so far (very early).

How much longer do I have? I fear this may be the latter half curse of RE games not living up to the first half.

Any guns I should prioritize on this part? Already maxed out my Riot shotgun, almost maxed my red9

The Island is the shortest act in the game. They did trim a lot of the fat out of the Island from the Island in the OG. I personally like the Island a lot. It has one of the scariest enemies in the game, and the best boss fight too.
