Finally sat down with RE 8 demo. First of all the games far from final, so things can and will change. Overall, pretty good though this is just a taste. It’s not how the actual game will play, so remember that when playing.
Bits:
- Smooth a lot of the time, not all the time. In fact the frame pacing in spots is rough.
- Resolution goes from sharp, to fuzzy and blurry. I would say for sure it’s not 4k and is checkerboard/dynamic.

- Some models are extremely low poly. Some surfaces are very low resolution. Others are spot on. For the most part it looks like RE7 really.
- Some blood surfaces look awful, like the bodies. When it’s using your flash light it’s terrible.

- A LOT of models are not casting shadows. It just looks bad in this regard.
- Some textures in particular are VERY bad. Not low resolution, just really bad.
- Rocks have zero parallax, and look dreadful.
- Glass surfaces are very poor too, very old gen.

- Even with HDR, surfaces get overly blown out.
- Flashlight needs to be offset otherwise the shadows appear directly behind the models
- Reusing models from RE7/2/3 but no changes...? Ugh...
- Some gore surfaces are just black with normals?!

- But then other surfaces and walls are fantastic, and very well done.
- It’s ok down underground but once you’re up in the fancy home the view goes more laggy and it’s jittery.
- pop in is just... ugh. In some spots it’s fine but others it’s like it goes from 0-60!

- That said the overall picture is brilliant, and the mansion, when you view it as a whole, is beautiful. But this is running poor, stuttering, heavy lag in view, and makes me worry about the outdoor.
- Did this have RT Reflection? Because the glass was all cube mapped?

- Lovely particle effects!
- AI is... what? I ran right into the back of some woman in black and she didn’t do anything?
- Tall lady is pretty sexy not gonna lie!

These are my thoughts, you know, my own. You don’t have to agree, it’s fine :) It’s pretty good, very short, but it’s a demo. It needs work, and I’m confident it will be sorted for release. But I’m intrigued by what the last gen games will look/play like!
But it’s very, very obvious a lot of this is designed around thinking about last gen. In fact most of these assets are straight ip last gen looking and I hope will be changed.
I give it 3 wobbly eggs.
