CONTAINS SPOILERS FROM EARLY PARTS OF THE GAME.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6-rtBC0NG4

Visuals:

- 1080p / 60 FPS on PS4/XB1
- 2240x1260p / 60 FPS on PS4 Pro
- Plenty of Chromatic Aberration, DoF etc.
- XB1 has more shimmering and worse post-AA method.
- Besides odd texture streaming issue, visually mostly identical.
- Pro has increased lighting highlights on trees etc.
- PC has same texture/lighting/shadow quality the as PS4/Pro version.
- Consoles have limited motion blur, PC has camera motion blur. PC also has per-object motion blur.

Performance:

- PS4/Pro are rock solid 60 FPS.
- XB1 dips performance notably, especially in combat. Lowest is 45FPS.

Some Pro shots. Down-scaled to 1080p via PS4's capture app.

What about PSVR performance?

leeh · Jan 27, 2017

Sounds rather solid all round.

mario_O · Jan 27, 2017

Nothing about HDR and how it changes IQ, the differences with SDR etc? huh..

They don't break down the resolution or any specific short comings of the VR version but mention that it's 60 FPS there in a passing comment. We might get a different video on that later.

mario_O said:

Nope. Nothing of the sort mentioned.

Dead Man Typing · Jan 27, 2017

How's the video for location spoilers?

I can't play the game for another week or two dye to travelling but I'd like to watch DF.

vivekTO · Jan 27, 2017

- XB1 dips performance notably, especially in combat. Lowest is 45FPS.

Any Particular reason to keep it at parity with PS4? , Might get slight Boost in performance if kept at 900p Like other Games.

ethomaz · Jan 27, 2017

XB1 could be 900p to better performance or 900-1080p dynamic.

Edited the OP, there are early game spoilers in it. If you're on a media blackout, I'd suggest don't watch it.

Zojirushi said:

Video doesn't go much into setting presets, just mentions that besides the odd texture seeming higher resolution, it's the same between PC/PS4/Pro.

Aceofspades · Jan 27, 2017

Performance:

- PS4/Pro are rock solid 60 FPS.
- XB1 dips performance notably, especially in combat. Lowest is 45FPS

They should have lowered the res on X1 to 900p.

PS4/PRO performance are excellent in comparison.

Durante · Jan 27, 2017

The only remarkable thing there to me is the really modest Pro increase. It's just 36% more pixels on twice the FLOPs.
(Might of course be limited by bandwidth or ROPs or something else)

Backfoggen · Jan 27, 2017

Knew the resolution on Pro wasn't much higher. The game is still plenty blurry on Pro.

ItIsOkBro · Jan 27, 2017

what's up with the vaseline filter on XB1

jon bones · Jan 27, 2017

So this runs well on PC? Can I get 1080/locked 60 on an i7/1070/16 gb ddr4 ram?

Frame dips on XB1¿ Should have dropped the resolution alright.

From everything I've read, yes, absolutely, easily. Most of the time when people report issues it seems related to a more constrained memory (GPU or main) amount. Your setup should run at around 100 FPS at least.

CrayToes · Jan 27, 2017

Yikes at that performance on XB1. They should've gone for 900p.

Maxximo · Jan 27, 2017

Piece of cake. You can get 1080 144 on a gtx1070.

Javin98 · Jan 27, 2017

You guys can express your skepticism if you want, but according to NXGamer's analysis, for the demo, at least, the XB1 version is not even running at native 1080p. It's running some sort of reconstruction method, evident when looking closely at edges. Probably the same set up in the final game.

Also, I'll watch it later, but did the video mention the occasional SSR on consoles? Places it was most evident to me were the first few minutes, outside the mansion on water puddles, the RV after you unlock the door, and towards the end when

heading out of the shipwreck.

Lol. I think you may even get locked 60fps on 1620p

ISee · Jan 27, 2017

I'm running 2816x1584 (1440p+1.1 pixeldenstiy) @ 60 fps on my 1070 (max settings).

Also are they sure there are no differences between the Pro and PC in regards to Ambient Occlusion? I thought hbao+ is pretty much PC exclusive.

Equanimity · Jan 27, 2017

NXGamer said the resolution was somewhere between 1620-1680p. Who's right?

Backfoggen said:

That has more to do with the heavy post processing effect than anything else for Resident Evil 7.

Diprosalic · Jan 27, 2017

Not really that interested in the game but i just might buy it to reward 60fps. 👏

adamsapple · Jan 27, 2017

Could it be a case of the game dynamically increasing Pro resolution based on on-screen load ? Has happened in other games too ..

MattXIII · Jan 27, 2017

Sheesh my 2016 backlog is pretty big but the RE7 hype on gaf is getting to me.
Must Resist.

Gurish · Jan 27, 2017

Great PS4/ Pro versions, maybe XB1 version should have been 900P with better AA and locked frame rate though.

Equanimity · Jan 27, 2017

chandoog said:

Yeah I don't see why that wouldn't be the case. DF might not have got the chance to test most of the areas, it's just an assumption because I haven't seen the video yet.

Let's me see... who got Tomb Raider and Quantum Break resolution incorrect?

Well I will trust DF first until it proved the opposite

Yeah, HBAO+ is exclusive for PC.

Mistakes happen. And they're not exclusive to NX.

KageMaru · Jan 27, 2017

Wish they went into specifics on the PC settings. Guessing they were running at the max preset. Also wish they mentioned any or no differences between the Steam and W10 versions.

It's remarkable to me how obvious that modest increase is when viewed side-by-side. Would expect the difference to be smaller but it looks so much better.

Inuhanyou · Jan 27, 2017

NX gamer on notice. He said 1600p, which is a HUGE difference from what we're seeing here. Its a dark game, but that's clearly off the mark

Movalpolos · Jan 27, 2017

Playing the game on PS4 Pro here. Looks amazing.
That on top of being the PSVR killer app. Good times.

Lister · Jan 27, 2017

Disappointing to see parity with lighting and shadows on PC, when PC can do so much more in those areas in most games.

Great that it runs well though.

great!!

that plus a 9 hr run time makes this sound like a perfect pick up

¡HarlequinPanic! · Jan 27, 2017

Played on Xbox, never noticed an fps dip in combat but it always took a hit when examining certain items

Inuhanyou · Jan 27, 2017

Equanimity said:

Well we have to think about it linearly, PS3 to 360 res increases were extremely small percentage wise compared to the resolutions we have now, but it was pretty obvious at the time that the PS3 versions were noticeably blurrier

Lol this is totally the opposite of PS3/Xbox 360 gen.

I don't think RE7 is a particularly good looking game. Lots of crappy textures everywhere.

Fafalada · Jan 27, 2017

Durante said:

It's entirely possible that was all the risk they were willing to take (or had the time for). Keeping the bump on Pro-SKU minimal ensures no risk of submission QA fail - testing for 6 platforms isn't trivial, and I'm not convinced this was built by the usually large team either.
That said I can't help but wonder - Demo (at least in VR) had clear vases of temporal-reconstruction visible, with resolution being extremely inconsistent, if any of that made it across to retail version, narrowing it down to a single number may not be easy either.

timberger · Jan 27, 2017

Glad I didn't have to play that XB1 version.

TAA (in my experience) seems to profit a lot from running at a higher resolution, even if it's just a slight bump.

I'd say that was also because those games were running at below-native HD resolutions. Thus, I don't think you can compare it so easily.

ISee said:

Hm, that's interesting. So the AA solution factors into it heavily too.

There isn't a could be about it is there ? Running 44% less pixels would guarantee a much better frame rate. I don't know why 900p isn't just standard on XB1. Better PR I guess which is a shame.

This is total nonsense, the game is very crisp.

In his defense, this was in his early analysis video, and he said it was just an initial guess due to the heavy post processing.

hey_it's_that_dog · Jan 27, 2017

So I'm clear, if I'm running at 1080p without Hbao+, I'm not going to see a difference in image quality between PC and regular PS4? The anti aliasing isn't better on PC?

If so, I'm gonna rent the shit out of this game for PS4 and save 40-70 Canada bux.
