4K60 without ray tracing is fantastic, and the ray tracing mode gets very close, but it would still be better to have the options to run at 1440p with ray tracing locked to 60fps (similar to how Spider-Man Miles Morales does it), or have 4K ray tracing locked to 30fps for those who want that.In the original Resi 2, the giant alligator encounter is over in a flash. To be honest, it still feels pretty daft that there is only a single setting here. We would expect that, as and when Capcom throw some busier scenes into the game with more enemies, the frame rate will drop further to 45fps and maybe even below. By comparison, the 4K60 mode is just a flat line at 60fps.Ī frame rate in the 50s does give a good experience though, so long as you’re not too sensitive to this issue. Now, I’m not going to pretend it’s perfect, and even just wandering through the village area sees frames drop sporadically into the high 50s, and as soon as you engage with just a single enemy in the wheat field, it’s hovering in the low to mid-50s.

Ray tracing mode is very often much closer to a solid 60fps than a wobbly 45fps. The non-ray tracing mode is absolutely locked to 60fps from what we’ve seen, while the 45fps label seems to simply mean that the frame rate is unlocked. Thankfully, I can tell you that, from the Resident Evil Village gameplay demo set in the Village, you don’t need to worry too much. Resident Evil Village PS5 ray tracing is not far off 60fps a lot of the time. It’s with the introduction of ray tracing on the new generation systems that we were left befuddled with the mention of 45fps frame rates. Two Resident Evil Showcases have celebrated the upcoming game and the series’ 25th anniversary, we’re now onto the second FOMO-inducing gameplay demo for Village, but I think it’s safe to say that everyone was left scratching their heads about what the technical specs detailing the game’s resolution and frame rate on a variety of games consoles. What on Earth does 4K at 45fps mean? Is… is that a good or a bad thing?įrom 900p at 30fps on the base Xbox One up to full 4K at 60fps on PS5 and Xbox Series X, Resident Evil Village is catering to a whole host of games consoles, and includes options on many to prioritise performance or visuals. With Resident Evil Village one of the most highly anticipated games of the next few months (for those with a stomach for horror games, anyway), gamers have been pouring over every detail they can possibly get their hands on.
