Ray tracing, advanced frame rate support, 4K resolution, and other advanced visual effects Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3as well as Resident Evil 7 in PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions. Games will be released later in 2022.
Players who have already purchased any of the three games on PS4 and Xbox One will receive the update (within the same console family) for free, Capcom said. The PlayStation 5 versions will use the DualSense controller’s enhanced haptic feedback. In addition, a patch will be available free of charge to owners of this game, bringing the same updates to PC.
Resident Evil 2remake of the 1998 game of the same name, released on PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and Xbox One in January 2019. Resident Evil 3similar to the 1999 remake of the same name launched on the same platforms in April 2020. Both feature giant, unstoppable bad guys (Mr. X in RE2; Nemesis in RE3), which spawned a cottage industry of humorous replacement mods. Presumably, Thomas the Tank Engine and Isabelle from Animal Crossing will look like. Even more realistic as soon as the patch for PC comes out.
Resident Evil 7 Biohazard, released in 2017, was the first feature-length release to use Capcom’s RE Engine (as did the two subsequent remakes). It is also the first Resident Evil game to use a first-person perspective.
In recent years Resident Evil Village, the eighth game in the main series spanning 25 years, also used the same engine and camera. All four games released since 2017 have been critically and commercially successful for Capcom, earning high ratings in reviews and Achieving internal Capcom Platinum status for selling over 1 million copies.
