    Devil May Cry 4 was very well ported and people have faith that RE5 will be just like that aswell.

    Downloading.

    I wonder if the tool is an actual normal game benchmark, or will it need to be used with the 3D glasses...

    They didn't do so well with RE4, but I hear they have been good as of late.

    Tested it on the variable benchmark for performance.

    I scored B, with average of 56.8 fps all high at 1360x768.

    With vsync enabled, I scored B with 54 fps average.

    The game looks beautiful but damm I wish it didn't have such mechanic controls. It needs more fluid movement.

    Great game, will probably get it.

    Edit: Insanechinaman, yeah it shows actual game footage on various parts of the game with several enemies on screen.

    That's because another company did the porting job. They did a horrible job, the PC version didn't even have basic lighting!

    Thankfully, there's tons of mods now to make RE4 much much better on the PC, with some mods like high-resolution textures that blow away the original console versions.

    This will be a great port as well. Like recent Capcom games like Lost Planet, Devil May Cry 4, etc. it uses their MT Framework engine which is designed for PC and the games are then ported to consoles, even though the PC gets the games last, we will get very good, optimized ports.

    Thanks Capcom and I hope more engines are like this, so the PC can easily get multiplatform games and well optimized ones too! :D

    The controls, so many issues with getting my arcade setup to play 2 players.

    Also online they need to force fixed frame rate, people set Variable as its default and it induces lag.

    Game is good, and it was ported well but definitely has some issues that need resolved.

    ViciousXUSMC, does the PC version of SF4 support two players? I fear that the PC port only supports one-player offline. :(

    Worst Case Scenario for RE5 on my laptop (Asus W90)

    1920x1080
    Motion Blur ON
    All Settings Highest
    8x AA
    DX10

    Fixed Test:
    [​IMG]
    From W90 Benchmarks
    Variable Test:
    [​IMG]
    From W90 Benchmarks
    Not fast enough for me at those settings (area 3 variable test) but I would never use 8x AA with max resolution and I think motion blur hit the fps hard too.

    @Rahul yes it supports 2 players in versus mode, but not on keyboard you need a controller. Online its 1 player vs the world. I really like how they implemented a challenge system.

    Instead of just going "online mode" and looking for a battle, you can play standard 1 player offline arcade mode and somebody can join in and challenge you at any time just like in the arcade. Its actually faster for me to do this than go online as somebody usually joins in to fight me before I can get 2 hits on the cpu in the first round.

    ATi cards are having real issues with this game. You can start at post #49 of this Neogaf topic, if you read other people's problems and solutions.

    EDIT: it seems that some ATi cards are having a problem with DX10 only.

    EXACTLY, and if im not mistaken capcom's own updates to RE4 on PC made it really solid. I have RE4 on gamecube and Wii, i should probably pick it up for PC too.

    IMO this is not RE anymore, its just another run & gun game. Its a far cry away from the RE I remember back in the Playstation days.

    Since they are now on #5 I think its time to just stop and if they want to continue with this type of game call it something else. Call it RE again when its like the originals.

    You don't happen to know of a mod to get rid of the button mashing scene's do you?

    I did look age's ago and found the texture mod,but nothing on getting rid of the woody woodpecker act.

    I ran a single 8800m gtx and sli (or tried to). I ran both tests at my native screen resolution (1920x1200) on DX9 and DX10 with v.sync turned on (to decrease screen tearing).

    Single Card:
    DX9 - Avg fps 40.7 - Grade B
    DX10 - Avg fps 40.5 - Grade B

    I tried sli, but it didn't show as 8800m gtx sli on the benchmark test (so im guessing it doesn't work??). I even set up a profile on the nvidia control panel and forced afr2. The visual indicators didn't pop up, so im assuming the benchmarking tool doesn't utilize sli?? I know I have sli turned on cause the visual indicators were on when i opened up L4D.

    Just for fun I ran the game at a lower resolution (1280x720)
    DX10 - Avg fps 70.4 - Grade A - v.sync turned off

    Other thoughts: The graphics look great, but gameplay isn't fluid at times. Especially when doing quick turns the screen makes your eyeballs want to throw up. This game is def suited for 120Hz screen, just too much tearing, but v.sync helps a little. Does anyone know if this game is CPU or GPU intensive? Check my sig for complete laptop specs.

    You need to rename the executable to FEAR.EXE to get it working with SLI.

    That is very true. Im thinking Silent Hill will continue the true heritage of Resident Evil. The Silent Hill coming to the wii looks really sick.

    P8600 at 20% OC (2.88)
    Mobility Radeon 4850 @550/900

    All High, No AA, No VSync, No blur, 1680x1050, DX10

    58.6

    From the sound of it, ATI cards have an issue with AA in DX10 and possibly Crossfire, so this test did not have the crippled scene 3 that some have experienced

    To start off, I really like this benchmark. It's a good successor to the DMC4 benchmark, more taxing but still very GPU dependent. CPU temps verify that. It's also overclocking stable, I was able to bring core to 650/1625, and memory over 1k, but I didn't get any better benches than these so I didn't save them.

    These are both variable, 640/1600/1010, DX10, motion blur on. 1080p. Second one with 8x AA.

    Only 8 FPS behind Vic :D

    This looks to be pretty taxing on mid-range cards

    Got the following result @ native res, w/ no AA
    Stock clocks on my GPU
    [​IMG]

    I noticed a slow down, only once, but the game looks GREAT, and I won't mind changing a setting or two to medium because at least they ported it :D :D

    I'll overclock and post the results later today ;)

    PS - Respect Vicious and 'NotherGeek, some sick results

    Hey there

    I ran this benchmark on my N50Vn

    Everything high, 1280x720, no blur, no AA

    I was getting fluent 20 fps all the time and it jumped from time to time to 30,40 fps. Overall the game looks really nice and smooth. I don't notice slowdowns even if it shows "only" 20 fps :)

    I gona get this game since I know now I can play it with high graphics in native resolution :)

    Nope, I believe it could run in either mode. Of course you will required to have some other stuff in order to play in 3D.

    I hope this is nothing like the Resident Evil 4 port. I mean that one didn't even have mouse support... It was either keyboard or controller. How can you do that on a PC FPS?

    True, but his critique is still valid, RE4 was set to be played completely from the keyboard. I am not sure if there was a mod to help with that or not.

    There is a mod that enable mouse aim... but believe me, its not any better.
