Are you referring to the performance mode? Because in all honesty the resolution mode looks fine. Little bit of shimmer but I've seen much worse

Well, just goes to show how magic VRR is. Looks great on series x and feels so smooth. Very happy with my purchase now. Can't wait...just gotta fix that dead zone.
Vrr really is a game changer this gen. I feel you have to have it to get the most of these consoles. No idea if it's dropping from 60 fps but I can't notice it. Looks awesome too.
Not tried ps5 yet. I'm sure they will fix it for launch.

You had it right the one x was using two AA solutions. Same with DMC V.

On my PS5 after a while I keep getting flickering lights at the bottom of the screen (different colors). Seems to be hapenning after a few reloads of the village square fight and only resetting the game gets rid of them. It's only occuring in the performance mode, resolution mode works fine (and plays smooth so I'll stick with it).

I wonder if they're using BOTH vrs and checkerboarding? That's a bad combination as demonstrated by Avengers which looked worse on ps5 compared to series x in performance mode

Resolution mode is ok but IMO it looks worse than even performance mode on Xbox (that looks super fine and miles better than performance on PS5). If this is reconstruction problem they need to change it.

doubt. why would the reconstruction problem be only on ps5 if all other re games had checkerboard on both consoles?

Performance.
Quality is only a bit sharper though but drops below vrr treshold.
could be. hope it gets patched

I think you are exactly right here.
I don't think so. I think they might use a different FSR setting with more sharpening on XSX. Because the banned guy actually stated resolution was actually a bit higher on PS5 (and he is a known Xbox fan). Also in all those comparisons brightness is higher on XSX (so we can see more details).

The secret TMP submachinegun is well worth checking out in the demo, especially as it carries over to your next run. Makes Mad Chainsaw mode a bit less daunting.
To unlock the underground area & TMP in the demo, discard everything before you open the gate to the village. Go in empty handed and you'll find the entrance to the well is open.

Just gonna copypaste what i said to my friend on discord about the thoughts on the demo
ok so i beat the whole thing. it was a bit short since it only lasted to the section where the ganados storm you in the village center
but hoooly shit dude
it's funny how it was 30 minutes long yet it was around 10 gigs
doesnt give me a lot of hope for the final product's size, but considering what i'd played i'd wipe my entire drive if it meant i could play it
for one thing the enemy AI is actually supercharged in this version of the game
like that ganado village segment was initially pretty easy on the original version of the game, so long as you kept running you wouldn't die
which is funny, considering how much more limited the controls were in that version
in this version, even with the strafing and movement they're a lot more aggressive
they'll grab you more often if you run past them, they're harder to kill, they're more jerky and unpredictable in their movements so headshotting them is harder, and they team up far more
this is also compounded by the fact that they're a bit more bullet spongey, which isn't that surprising since RE2 remake had pretty spongey enemies, most RE games do as that's kind of a mainstay of the franchise
but that small change to enemy health makes them far more of a bitch to deal with, and also in turn makes the gameplay alot more survival focused as you can't really go in guns blazing. It's likely a holdover from Remake 2 since the gameplay is not too dissimilar to that game
to be fair, this is before you get the shotgun, and the original RE4 did keep the survival horror thing up until you got the more powerful weapons, because at that point the game basically did turn into a third person shooter with horror elements
I actually hope Capcom doesn't take that route again because the changes they've made to the game to make it more fresh i've actually really fucking liked
Not to mention the first area where you enter the guys house and he tries to kill you, that's pretty similar overall
except that there's an additional segment where after you kill the dude, he drops a key
you use it to unlock the door to the basement, where you see a dead officer and an intercom
you're then instructed to leave ASAP, but the guy you just killed now has his corpse reanimated thanks to the parasite inside him which made him violent to begin with.
oh, and killing him is a fool's errand, he's got way more health and can kill you in 2 grabs
So yeah the parasites are introduced right at the start rather than like 1 or 2 hours in
probably for the sake of the demo. It does get rid of a bit of the mystery of "why are these guys such crazy assholes" but it also makes the gameplay a bit more intense in turn and makes enemy encounters a bit more fearful, though that's also because of all of the compounded gameplay changes from the remake overhauling the controls
Thinking about it more though, I wonder if they really increased the health or it's just that the enemies flinch less when you shoot them so you can't just keep shooting them in critical parts to get away. Either way i recall that exact segment feeling a LOT easier in the original game.
I genuinely really like many of the changes made here and I can tell this is going to be more of a 'reimagning' rather than a remake. All the iconic stuff stays faithful like the village scene where you get swarmed by ganados but all of the smaller stuff gets a bit more of a unique, survival horror feel to it. If they keep this tone up throughout the entire game I feel like this could be one of the all time great remakes up there with Metroid Zero Mission, AM2R, CTR Nitro Fueled and OFC the RE remakes (excluding 3)

What's the explanation for all the reports in here of worse performance on PS5?
This source proving to be unreliable or the other way around?
Not really digging the Demo at the moment by the way. Controls, aiming and camera all feel like a significant downgrade to me compared to RE2/3R, plus I'm one of those who not only have no issues with OG RE4 controls and aiming, but actively loves them to this day.
But Remake looks good, it shipped with pre-calibrated gamma and brightness (finally), and while I agree it's not a huge upgrade next to the latest RE Engine entries, just compare the outdoor sections in here to those in RE7 or even RE2R to see a complete generational leap.

the game supports RT? i gave a cursory glance at the graphics settings (everything came preconfigured at settings i was fine with tbh) but never noticed any option for RT- maybe it's because im playing on Linux. I also deleted the game because i thought that the one village segment was all there was to it
not that big of a deal to me though and the controls feel bout as good as they do in RE2. It's a fucking weird change though
I can agree with that, the camera is actually worse for some reason. RE2's camera would swerve depending on what area you were in and the best place to aim, in RE4 Leon's always on the left

oh yes pc gaming. 3080 is not enough for re4 remake.
crashed 2 minutes into the demo.
Of course fully maxed out at 4k.. Fps around 50.
Looks fantastic. Cleaner than ps5
3 times in a row now. I cannot make it to the first home lol pc experience here I go!!! 3080 bitch !
Edit: FSR 2.0 balanced and it still crashes before entering the house. Seriously
My 3080 isn't enough for RE4 remake. My game crashed as soon as I went to the right side of the house. I have two monitors, 4K and 2K. Wanted to try 4k and I get around 40-50 on average. High to max settings on most options. It plays and looks nice. No hitches minus that D3D crash.

I cry about Xbox and hate PlayStation.
anybody getting green/ red /blue flashing dots around bottom of the screen during 2nd playthrough/ switching to mad chainsaw/ switching graphic mode on PS5?
I thought its my PS5 GPU dying initially, however some users on resetera having this exact issue on PS5 playing the same demo.
This graphical issue seems to happen once and I am unable to replicate the scenario again, seems to happen one time only for me.

Brightness and game filters (CA, lens, sharpen filter) seem a bit different. This is probably causing the visible difference of sharpness for most. But PS5 game is clearly higher resolution (and resolving more details) here.Different implementation? IDK

You need to lower textures to 2gb high. That’s all. Can keep everything else on max.
Just do it in main menu. If you do it in game it will crash

Too bad they only opted for raytraced reflections. Would be nice to have some RTAO.
Yup. It just feels less interactive, I hope I am wrong though. Could just be the demo.
But it was a big deal back in the day, being able to shoot thru doors, jump thru windows. It was one of the things back then that made RE4 feel so unique.
It had almost an Ocarina of Time like vibe in regards to context sensitive actions and environment. On top of it it threw the Shenmue like QTE's to keep you on your toes.
And those were just very small things, but it was filled with them. All these unique, odd touches. Being a survival horror action game, the expert pacing, the not so serious tone despite the awful things happening.
It was a beautiful mess.
But this game just from the outset... Seems intent on making it more serious and horrorish. More survival like, but also more scripted. We'll see... The parts from the final trailer with Luis seemed to have the more natural RE4 tone.
I am hoping that when you visit the merchant the upgrades are much more impactful, which would explain why the weapons feel so weak now.

Same settings (rt off, all image options off, hair off).
Aside gamma (?) differences what you should clearly see is much more defined foliage on series x - look at trees in the distance in full resolution image opened in new tab.
I honestly can't tell. I had to set everything anew but I was upgrading my whole OS and reinstalled the latest version from scratch a while ago. Don't know how it works if you update your existing version.
I noticed a subtle difference in RE3, too. The image was softer, with smoother edges on PS5 whereas on PC edges where looked harder, even with CA enabled. I couldn't really replicate the PS5's image on PC and I quite liked the PS5 image more.
In the RE4 demo, the PS5 image and edges (aliasing) are flicker free, on PC only if FSR (both) is disabled. Otherwise especially the foliage will show some flicker.
So there's definitely a difference to how the image is constructed in both versions.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
We all thought it would be the first RE engine game to be made just for the new gen consoles before they announced that it was actually cross-gen.
No one's fault for getting their hopes up, but let's be clear that this is a PS4 game running better on the new consoles, this is not a dedicated current-gen game.

i turned off lens chromatic aberration off and the image quality improved substantially, it looks super sharp and runs at a stable 60fps on resolution mode on ps5. beat the demo 10 times and deleted it so I dont get tired of that section. just 11 more days!

also, i've been on Linux and i've encountered no crashes so uh... yay?
audio likes to cut out though, not sure if that's because of my system or a bug with the game. some other people have been reporting about audio issues so it isnt just me.
i played at 1440p high at first, but it was laggy so i switched to 1440p high + FSR balanced and the 40s and 50s turned into consistent 60s. AI upscaling is awesome

Just finished the demo, that was a rush 
.very familiar, but with a few twists. that part after the long ladder got me
.the visuals are creepier
though i had a bit of trouble adjusting the brightness
Controls are,idk i need to play more because im not fully convinced,they feel a little off but anyways,at least i don't think it will hurt the experience
.they made the Music scarier
This is classic Resident Evil 4 mixed in with some of the experience of making RE7 and RE8, wich is just what i expected it to be ,im going to play it after a sale but its gonna be fun(hmm what about a first person mode DLC?

I dont know whats going on the xsx version, but the PS5 versions issues cant be noticed in screenshots because its just like the issue with HFW. the shimmering happens when you start moving around. This looks like the same exact issue.The fog maybe (and a sharpening filter?).
It's missing leaves/trees on the 2nd pic.
Remember, checkerboarding when it first came out, DF had trouble telling it apart because it looks native 4k when you're not moving. You only start to notice it when you start panning the camera around and it begins to leave ghosting trails. But that was 4kcb. 1800p cb needs some extra work put in, i.e., more data fed to the algorithm to fill in the details. GG explained this to DF back when they patched it.

the OG's village section was much longer though, im pretty sure you got to the village quite a bit after you do in Remake. That's also probably because of the house segment being extended
one thing people aren't talking about more though is just how BIG the demo is for how little content's in there
10gb for 30 minutes of content is crazy and scary no matter which way you slice it, the full game will be 60 gb as well so if we go by that we'd have 3 hours of content. let's hope the full game isn't anywhere close to that length

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
the extra difficulty is playable by simple rng. Every time you quit the game from the menu there’s a chance you’ll get a shot at the new difficulty.BTW anyone tried that "mad chainsaw edition" thing yet? it occurs once you beat the demo once, and it's a supercharged version of the game where there's more enemies. you start off with a TMP, though
The TMP being in the game also just shows how fucking amazing Resident Evil's gunplay is, shit felt fresh and punchy. Plus the ammo management aspect is something that many other games lack. I
Also the TMP isn’t something you start off with in the new difficulty. You obtain the TMP by discarding everything in your inventory before entering the gate to the village, then go down the well (that is now open). The TMP lies in a chest inside the well. The TMP will also be there in your inventory even if you complete the demo and try again.
And yes, the TMP feels incredible - especially since it’s upgraded as heck in this demo!
