As promised, Capcom has just released the PC demo of Resident Evil 7. According to the team, the PC version features numerous PC exclusive options, as well as extensive graphics settings.
In addition, Capcom revealed – via the game’s Steam DB – that Resident Evil 7 will be powered by the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. Resident Evil 7’s demo uses the Denuvo anti-tamper tech, so it’s safe to say that the final version will also use it.
Resident Evil 7 is powered by the RE Engine and promises to deliver a disturbingly realistic experience that will define the next era in horror entertainment.
Those interested can go ahead and download the demo from Steam.
This demo will give you an idea of how Resident Evil 7 runs on the PC, and here are the graphics settings that Capcom has implemented in it:
- Screen Resolution…self-explanatory here, but the game will list arbitrary resolutions supported by your monitor and Windows desktop environment.
- Refresh Rate…adjustable to frequencies supported by your monitor. Also supports 144Hz high refresh monitors including Nvidia G-Sync.
- Display Mode…Full screen, Windowed, and Borderless Window modes are supported
- Field of View…FOV angle can be adjusted here
- Frame Rate…supports 30, 60, and Variable (uncapped)
- V-Sync…ON/OFF
- Rendering Method…Two options available – Normal and Interlaced
- Resolution Scaling…controls the game’s internal rendering resolution. This is akin to upscaling and downsampling of the final video output. Selectable option ranges from 0.5X to 2.0X. 1.0X is 100% 1:1 native output. The higher the number, the better the image quality and more GPU ‘oomph’ required, while lowering it below 1.0 makes the image softer (but also reduces GPU overhead and increases frame rate).
- Texture Quality…option ranges from Very Low to Very High. Higher quality requires additional local video memory.
- Texture Filtering…option ranges from Very Low to Very High. Internally, this is essentially your Trilinear to Anisotropic filter that goes all the way up to 16X.
- Mesh Quality…option ranges between Low to Very High. This option also affects Level-of-Detail (LOD) quality.
- Anti-Aliasing…Selectable options include FXAA, TAA, FXAA+TAA, and SMAA.
- Motion Blur…ON/OFF toggle
- Effects Rendering…Selectable between Low, Medium and High. This controls the intensity and density of certain visual effects.
- Depth of Field…ON/OFF toggle
- Shadow Quality…option ranges from Very Low to Very High.
- Dynamic Shadows…ON/OFF toggle
- Shadow Cache…ON/OFF toggle. When set to ON, shadows for static objects will be cached in video memory.
- Ambient Occlusion…Selectable options include OFF, SSAO (Variable), SSAO, HDAO, and HBAO+. Note HBAO+[www.geforce.com] is an Nvidia-specific feature.
- Bloom Effect…ON/OFF toggle
- Lens Flare…ON/OFF toggle
- Volumetric Lighting Quality…Selectable between OFF, Low, and High. This option controls intensity and quality of dynamic lighting including light shafts piercing through window panes and vents.
- Reflections…Selectable between ON, OFF, and Variable. Affects fidelity and quality of screen-space reflections.
- Subsurface Scattering…ON/OFF toggle
- Chromatic Aberration…ON/OFF toggle
- Color Space…Selectable between SRGB and BT.709
Have fun!

Nicely done, squash your already tiny customer base on PC.
And now that the game will barely sell on PC, what will be the excuse?
This is seriously the best outcome. They release a demo, and they use an anti temper method that allows only paying customers to play. What more do you want?
i honestly think that these guys who scream that they wont buy the game with denuvo are low key pirates, if you wanted to buy or pirate a game, you would buy it or pirate it regardless of the drm.
Most of the people who hate Denuvo are pirates. I don’t believe the sh*t that comes out of their mouth. “EE IT HAS DENUVO I NOT GONNA BUY IT”.
“Most of the people who hate Denuvo are pirates”
Exactly
And a lot of others aren’t, so…. yeah.
Does denuvo prevents modding ?
In some circumstances, yes. Not entirely, no, but selectively, yes.
Ah well then, in the cases where it blocks mods i find it sad and it shouldn’t be that way. ;( otherwise, i have yet to have problems with denuvo. But it doesn’t change the fact i never liked drms.
the only thing it makes ahrd is total converstions that would require custom exe
No!
look totalwar
FIFA 16
and more..all have mod!
no
you’ll hate it too once you’ll end up on the bay because activation servers will go to bed, and you wont be able to play your single player only game you wasted money on.
Okay. What if you can’t? What if you pirate because the game is geo-locked? What if you pirate because you’re broke? Of course most (not all) people who hate Denuvo are pirates. The important part however, isn’t “if they’re pirates” the question is “why are they pirates in the first place.”
To quote myself;
Some people pirate as a demo, some people pirate & wait to buy it at a discount, some people pirate because they just can’t afford it, some people pirate because the game is geo-locked for them, some people pirate just because they don’t believe the game in question is worth paying the asking price for it, or they just download it out of spite because the developers, the publishers, or whatnot are assh*les, or whatever. Some people pirate because of the DRM, even – some want to circumvent it because it’s an intrusive piece of sh*t nightmare they want to avoid, others want to spite the developers entirely as a result of their choice to use DRM.
None of these downloads equate to lost sales. Then, of course, there’s a minority of a minority of a minority who both download, & are fully capable of paying for the game in the first place, upon which Denuvo may or may not have an effect, but again; that would equate to an overall ridiculously, extremely negligible effect.
Also, games already age poorly with ever-changing OS coding (XP-era games for example have a very high chance of being broken on WIndows 10), & DRM’s only make that situation worse – especially ones with online checks, like Denuvo. How long do you want to be able to play the product you actually paid for, exactly? 2 years? 3? Because that’s how long you’ll likely get with it if such sh*t becomes standard.
DRM is really not a black & white argument, as so many idiots think it is. It’s really far, far more than that, especially with publishers refusing to remove it no matter what, including no matter how much time has actually passed. Hell, the only time Denuvo is being removed is when it gets cracked within the 90-day refund period, & even then, the only reason it gets removed is so that the greedy c*nts can get a refund on it, not because they’re being pro-consumer about it.
TL DR
if you have money for a PC that can run modern games, then you should have money for games as well.
And once again I quote myself;
What if you’re borrowing a neighbour’s internet because he was polite enough to leave the WiFi router unlocked, & your rig is second-hand, courtesy of someone you know?
Alternatively, what if it’s just old, because you got sacked from you job a year & a half ago, & haven’t been able to find gainful employment since, leaving you to choose between spending your money on your phone bill, which you actually need in order to keep scouring for jobs, or entertainment, which you don’t actually need, you just want, in order to pass the time, because you’ve run out of sh*t you’ve actually bought to see &/or play? Jesus, how naive can you get?
I can even come up with a few more, if you really insist……
Nice to see you ignored the bit about DRM’s ageing badly, btw.
that’s a lot of what if’s
if you pirate, you’re a thief, end of discussion.
Nice world view, kid….. Hopefully you never end up in charge of any nukes.
In the meantime, I do hope you enjoy getting locked out Denuvo titles once the publisher decides to stop paying the premiums (read: subscription fees) on it.
Actually no kek about it. Piracy is theft of license, spin it any way you want. I can go into details if you want me to, like I have always done.
If you defend a DRM, you’re a paid shill, end of discussion.
“What if you’re borrowing a neighbour’s internet because he was polite
enough to leave the WiFi router unlocked, & your rig is second-hand,
courtesy of someone you know?”
— You are talking about exceptions, not the norm.
Sure, but together, all these exceptions make up the vast majority of pirated downloads; geo-locks, broke people, people who want to play a demo first, people who wouldn’t buy it anyway, etc. etc. etc.
People who can, actually pay for the game, & will actually pay for the game because of the presence of an “unbreakable” DRM are an exception as well, not the norm.
The fundamental idea behind the allure of piracy is… “why pay when you can get it for free”? It’s not always about having access to content – if that were the case then the US would have zero piracy. People who “try out the game” aren’t a large number, so the turnover rate from pirates to paying customers isn’t always 1:1. And “people who wouldn’t buy it anyway” are the people who shouldn’t have been playing the game to begin with… that’s the entire problem that DRM was meant to address.
“It’s not always about having access to content – if that were the case then the US would have zero piracy.”
I agree here, & I’ve pretty much said this myself, haven’t I? After all, The Land of the “Free” & The “Leaders” of the “Free” World’s Homeland isn’t by any stretch of definitions free of poverty, starvation, under-minimum-wage earners, etc. etc. etc.
People who “try out the game” aren’t a large number, so the turnover rate from pirates to paying customers isn’t always 1:1.
No indeed, the turnover rate from pirates to customers, as displayed by Denuvo not supplying those mythical oh-so-lauded “massive sales boosts” is actually extremely low, which I argue indicates that the majority of pirates are either simply not interested in buying it regardless, or are simply incapable of paying for it in the first place, in which case Denuvo means nothing to them.
(I take it, then, we fully agree that Hollywood’s bullsh*t “every download is a sale lost” propaganda campaign is just that – bullsh*t, at least?)
“And “people who wouldn’t buy it anyway” are the people who shouldn’t have been playing the game to begin with… that’s the entire problem that DRM was meant to address.”
As I said before, all those “some people” reasons I listed are, as you said, various exceptions, but that’s the point; all those exceptions group together to form the majority of pirated downloads, time after time. People who’re actually capable of buying the game, & are also willing to buy the game are a minority, an exception, in turn, & Denuvo may or may not have an effect on them.
Apologies for the late reply, was kinda busy.
“which I argue indicates that the majority of pirates are either simply not interested in buying it regardless, or are simply incapable of paying for it in the first place, in which case Denuvo means nothing to them.”
— Which would imply they should have no access to the game, simple as that. But they do, hence DRM.
“(I take it, then, we fully agree that Hollywood’s bullsh*t “every
download is a sale lost” propaganda campaign is just that – bullsh*t, at least?)”
— It was never true to begin with. A lot of people pirate simply because they never intend to pay regardless of accessibility and affordability as I said.
“Denuvo may or may not have an effect on them.”
— I can’t say exactly what effect Denuvo has on habitual pirates, but I’m focusing on the reason why Denuvo exists in the first place. If these people who don’t pay for stuff didn’t exist, neither would Denuvo or any other DRM.
“— Which would imply they should have no access to the game, simple as that. But they do, hence DRM.”
Even if they’re incapable of buying it in the first place either due to economic hardship, or government dick-tatorships? Damn, that’s harsh mate 😛
“— I can’t say exactly what effect Denuvo has on habitual pirates, but I’m focusing on the reason why Denuvo exists in the first place. If these people who don’t pay for stuff didn’t exist, neither would Denuvo or any other DRM.”
Denuvo exists because Hollywood kickstarted this entire “blame everything on the pirates” debacle, instead of simply accepting that downloading is simply an evolved form of taping, disc burning TV broadcasts, etc. etc. etc, & the software industry picked it because it suited them to.
“Even if they’re incapable of buying it in the first place either due to
economic hardship, or government dick-tatorships? Damn, that’s harsh mate :P”
— Heh, do we need to remind ourselves that video games aren’t a fundamental or constitutional right? That we aren’t entitled to anything that is essentially a luxury item?
“instead of simply accepting that downloading is simply an evolved form of taping”
— “Legal” downloads you mean. Not torrented stuff. The method of acquisition is irrelevant. As long as it is “paid” acquisition. As for me I don’t blame “everything” on pirates, but they are the single most significant reason for the existence of DRM.
Yeah, me too, got caught in some offline stuff for a bloody week there 😛
Ergo sum; it’s funny, really, how piracy has affected us, both positively (increased move to digital downloading over physical bullsh*t), & negatively (Piracy Witch Hunt – everything from 6-strike ISPs to ever-more insufferable DRM tech).
“What if you’re borrowing a neighbour’s internet because he was polite enough to leave the WiFi router unlocked, & your rig is second-hand, courtesy of someone you know?”
I don’t want this to sound like I am supporting DRM. This is more poking holes in the above logic. And I’m going to ignore the implications of that Wi-Fi bit because it makes you look inadvertently cavalier…
Games, by their nature, aren’t necessities. They are luxuries (one’s that most of us can afford). And if you can’t afford games then you should buy food and clothes instead. Because you probably need them a heck of a lot more than the newest AAA release.
And there’s absolutely no reason. None. That someone can’t wait 6-12 months for a sale. At that point almost any game can be had at a third of their launch price.
Granted, some games might not last that long if they are multiplayer heavy but, in that case, abstaining to check the game has a healthy scene is actually a good decision.
And again, it’s not like games are necessities. To say you should be entitled to pay them without paying because you can’t afford them makes no sense. It’s not some incontrovertible human right we’re talking to here — it’s not exactly the equivalent of clean drinking water, is it?
So can we stop the bleeding-heart angle as if it is? Because it’s complete BS. If you can’t afford (or won’t pay) for a game and want to enact some form of protest how about…. and this might blow your mind… NOT BUYING IT?
….. You didn’t read the second part of my post, at all, did you?
Nope. Assumed you were making excuses.
Price and demos are more important than piracy if you ask me.
you’re wrong. there are animals of that kind, just like there are people that fight against p0m, equal pay and rights for women, black people or other thigns
The demo will make cracking easier…LOL.
Good point, assuming they’re dumb enough to use the same version in the final product.
Doesn’t need to be the same version, previous DENUVO demos opened up exploits to make their servers think that you were playing the demo on the full version. Probably patched and reworked now.
demo has denuvo
Thats one heck of a prediction. The feature set of video options in the demo make it seem very PC user friendly. Not to mention it might actually be good!
His point is that they’re not helping themselves by using the controversial denuvo tech. RE is already not so huge on pc so they might lose potential sales just by using denuvo.
from the way i see it people that really want to play it will going to buy it be it denuvo or not. doubt that there is many people out there decided not to buy the game because of denuvo. heck most our regular gamer out there probably never really know what denuvo is. so i don’t think the sales will be affected significantly because of denuvo.
See below.
Excerpt;
Okay. What if you can’t? What if you pirate because the game is geo-locked? What if you pirate because you’re broke? Of course most (not all) people who hate Denuvo are pirates. The important part however, isn’t “if they’re pirates” the question is “why are they pirates in the first place.”
Piracy would really be a non-issue if a lot of the reasons people pirated for/because of in the first place, were actually addressed, you know, but nope, the shortcut method is easier, it lets them stay in denial, & it gives them a standing *point & blame* tactic, so…. yeah.
Besides, to quote myself again;
Good games sell themselves, period. Crysis (OG) sold just fine, regardless of its high piracy numbers. Would it have sold better if SecuROM had not been cracked? Extremely doubtful. It sold what it did because it was a good game, just like bad games sell what they do because they’re bad games, period, with Denuvo having little to no effect on that outcome what-so-ever. PC piracy was just the excuse the industry used to justify their shift to a consoles-first development focus with the PS3/X360 generation, & the subsequent “PC Gaming is Dead” propaganda campaign that followed – nothing more, nothing less. Later on, they also figured out they could use it as an excuse to justify low sales to their idiot shareholders who, courtesy of Hollywood propaganda, were all too willing to buy into the bullsh*t; enter, at this point now, ever-more intrusive DRMs in an attempt to show how they’re “fighting the good fight” against those filthy, Godless, anti-Corporate Bullsh*t Comm- ehm, [High-Seas] Pirates! Aroo!
Excuses for pirates…
“I can’t afford it. So I stole it. “. Yeah that makes being a thief O.K….
You can’t afford a game but you can afford a gaming rig and the internet to download it? I’m not buying that anyway. Priorities people.
“it’s locked out of my region”. Isn’t that illegal tol? Breaking the law because you feel entitled. Yeah…that’s totally ok too huh?
“I want a demo”. Seriously? In a world of twitch streams, infinite reviews and coverage? Not an excuse. You have more than enough information to make an informed purchase.
In the end, pirates are powered by their own selfishness and afford no respect to me. That’s it.
I’m fine with Denuvo because I’m not OK with thieves.
“I can’t afford it. So I stole it. “. Yeah that makes being a thief O.K….

“it’s locked out of my region”. Isn’t that illegal tol? Breaking the law because you feel entitled. Yeah…that’s totally ok too huh?
Who’s law? Your country’s law? What if the only thing you’re violating is some politically-motivated US-ordained sanction against your country, which isn’t even targeted at video games in the first place?
“I want a demo”. Seriously? In a world of twitch streams, infinite reviews and coverage? Not an excuse. You have more than enough information to make an informed purchase.
Yeah, so? “Oh, hey lookie here, this dude plays BF4, it looks so kewl, I bet I play just like that!” Seriously? F*ck off.
In the end, pirates are powered by their own selfishness and afford no respect to me. That’s it.
I’m fine with Denuvo because I’m not OK with thieves.
Are you fine with being locked out of the products you legally paid for because of pirates after a set period of time solely because some jack*ss publisher decided to stop paying Denuvo’s subscription fee, & didn’t remove the f*cking thing at the same time, because “f*ck it, they can just buy the damn thing all over again on GOG in a few years time!”?
Because I’m not. F*ck that sh*t.
“I don’t like how they do business, so I stole it”.
Yeah, still not justified in my mind. I can understand not wanting to pay absurd prices, but you could always just wait for a better price like a decent human being. It’s not about being “politically correct”, it’s morally wrong and theft. You can justify it all you want, but you’re wrong. Stealing is rarely “necessary”, and certainly never when it’s entertainment.
Oh please, been there done that. Theft does not apply only to tangible goods so spare the “removal of original” defense.
Ah, but “every download is a lost sale” means that every “copy” is akin to stealing the original off the back of a truck, even though it really isn’t, because decades of Hollywood propaganda says it is!
;D
It’s 2016 dude. We have digital rights now. Catch up or go back to the 18th century with your incredibly dated way of thinking (understanding?).
“We have digital rights now.”
Oh, that’s so cute, kiddo. You actually think that you, as a private citizen, have digital rights. Go get yourself a couple of billion dollars, then we can talk about what “rights” you have in regards to digital content.
You’re confusing categories; whether or not a particular pirate would ever buy the product that he pirates, he is enjoying the fruits of another’s labor without compensation or consent.
I’m what? No, not really, no.
Yes, you’re technically right, but I’m not sure how I’m “confusing categories” here exactly. Hollywood has literally compared piracy to “stealing a handbag”, “stealing a TV set”, & uh….. I forget the third (anyone else still remember that old anti-piracy advertisement they used to show on DVDs?).
Now you’re talking about Hollywood. My point was the moral rectitude of taking without either compensation or consent that which another created.
Enjoying the fruits of another’s labor without compensation or consent is immoral. You wouldn’t want the same thing done to you.
“In that case, the person who buys a thing and then takes home the purchase is a thief.”
Except, the law indicates that they paid legal tender for it, as proven by the receipt you’re required to receive upon purchase, so….. not illegal.
And that’s a very black & white look at it. Also, “immoral” doesn’t always equate to “illegal.”
not illegal
You’re missing the point; I was showing how another poster’s graphic falsely justifies piracy by misdefining both theft and piracy.
When someone punches you in the nose, is there any gray area? Nothing’s black-and-white until someone does it to you.
“doesn’t always equate” is a non sequitur. Taking something offered for sale by another without either compensation or consent is both illegal and immoral.
“When someone punches you in the nose, is there any gray area? Nothing’s black-and-white until someone does it to you.”
Well, actually, yes. For one thing; did he bait you into punching him? Did he punch you first? That’s like saying “you killed someone, you’re a murderer, go kill yourself.”
“But he had a gun!”
So?
“But he was shooting at me!”
So?
There’s a reason people ask “who punched first.”
Is your moving the goalposts intentional?
The context was whether or not you would like to be treated in the way that you’re advocating treating others. Just as the morality of someone’s punching you in the nose is clear, so is the morality of someone’s taking and enjoying the fruits of your labor without your consent.
I moved the goalpost? What? I took your goalpost, & broke it down into its sub-scenarios, thus detailing how barely anything in this world is black-&-white.
If I f*ck your girl behind your back, & then you find out, & you come punch me in the street, most people in the world would acknowledge that I deserved it, assuming I was aware that she was in a relationship with you, at the time.
The morality there is pretty clear, no? Yet, technically, it’s also not quite a black-&-white situation, since in the end, it’s also some guy walking up to you & punching you in the face, after all, no?
If the developers feel like punching the people who steal their products while being fully capable of paying for them, that’s their business, but inconveniencing legitimate customers just to try & “get one over” on a minority of their overall playerbase, is an absurd strategy.
Changing the context, again.
Developers’ attempts to protect their property — however ill-conceived — and the theft of that property are two different things.
already got paid
That’s a non sequitur.
When you offer something for sale, do you want others enjoying it without compensating you?
“Lost sale” is a red herring.

Let me remind you that the game is not included on the deluxe edition
(CDProjekt cofounder and CEO) Marcin Iwi?ski: We distributed the game (Witcher 3) without protection, on GoG for example, and yet we sold ten millions copies across platforms.
Piracy was irrelevant, we can’t force people to buy our products, but we can convince them.
Almost all games are pirated day one, we are direct and like to say that
we don’t like protection on our game even if we are still against
piracy.
Some people even said to us:
“We couldn’t buy the game sooner so we downloaded it, then we bought it later when it was cheaper. ”
Especially in poor countries, not everyone can buy a fifty dollars game.
To resume, we don’t like that people stole our game but we don’t take
actions against them, we try to convince them positively which lead to
them later convince their friends to buy the game; and it work, someone on Reddit, for example, will say: “Where can I download the game” and then ten person come and say “Listen here fuco, these guys are fair and good for the industry, don’t download this game! You should buy it”.
I’m sure everything above is true, but I they’re only accepting a terrible situation. Having people steal and play your life’s work when they didn’t pay for it is a terrible thing, making big bucks off the title or not. It’s obvious that they’ve accepted a terrible reality. They’re not O.K. with it in the finest, they’re only being social and politically acceptable because they’re nice people. I’d fine every pirate out there if I could. But, that’s my opinion.
“a terrible situation” “a terrible thing” “a terrible reality” – ……
Nuclear War is a “terrible reality”, Religious Warfare is a “terrible thing”, disease, starvation, death, looming natural disasters, bla bla bla bla bla. Media piracy is just that – piracy.
Besides, that’s a lot of assumptions you’re making right there. Sure, it’s possible they’re just being polite about the whole thing, or, alternatively, they’ve accepted that in a DRM-free world, a certain degree of piracy is inevitable. Let’s not forget after all, CDPR is the company that founded GOG – the only DRM-free digital distributor.
“I’m fine with Denuvo because I’m not OK with thieves.”
You’re fine with it because you’re a stupid, gullible, uneducated consumer who is willing to work against his own and his fellow consumer’s interests because thinking that you’re protecting these companies against the filthy pirate thieves makes you feel good inside. You’re further eliminating consumer rights and ownership of digital products. You’re nothing but an instrument of your own demise.
Oh ye of poor assumptions. I mostly only buy console games because I can resale them. If I purchase anything digitally, I realize that I’m only purchasing a license, and I understand that it may one day not work, which is why I only buy them once they’re very cheap. I’m well educated and understand the principles behind the licensing far better than you know. Nice swing, but a miss.
You realise publishers also believe second-hand sales are “theft”, & they waged a serious war trying to have them banned, right?
So how’s that fine with you, then, but piracy isn’t? Because second-hand sales are a consumer’s right? But on the other hand, the publishers & developers hate it, “because it’s akin to theft!”
Buy it now to support 😉 they’ve removed it 🙂
Just because you don’t like their choice of DRM that doesn’t give you the moral right to pirate something a company spent millions on making, it’s hypocritical. If you’re pirating software, fine, just don’t set a moral high ground.
Get of your high horse boy, breaking the law. LOL when you say it sounds so funny, like a stupid child moralist that has no idea about the real world.
my point is more to denuvo effect to the game sales itself not about piracy. but when it comes to piracy to me it is simple. piracy is piracy regardless of the reason.
No justification for pirating that which is for sale in your locality. If you want it, then buy it. If you can’t afford it, then save for it. If you can’t do that, then you’ve got more important things to worry about.
Right, I’ll be sure to tell all those Aussies to stop whining about their 200% markup, bend over, & pay for the f*cking ripoff anyway, because even though it’s a ripoff, & it encourages such absurd practices, “it’s the right thing to do.”
Right?
the right thing to do
More non sequiturs, Zatara.
If someone decides that you charge too much for your work, would you want them to take it?
Well, in my line of work you can just walk away & go to one of the competition, since we all provide basically the same service, albeit, with differing price tags & levels of quality, so…..
Yeah…..
No, that’s not what I asked; you’re talking about an employer’s choosing to employee one of your competitors.
I’ll ask again: Would you want someone to take your labor against your will?
Yea there might be a consumer base that is not aware of denuvo or any anti piracy software but you, i, olek, and many other are aware so it might hurt the sales. Hard to say how many…
But you know the french expression “téléphone arabe” ? Well this pretty much sums how this kind of news spreads.
If the gameplay is as sh*t as RE6, those video options won’t mean sh*t to most people anyway.
The games is quite good though…so there is that.
“The games”? What games? Resident Evil? Hasn’t been good since Resident Evil 4.
Sure, that’s subjective, but it is a popular opinion, too; RE6 is utter dogsh*t.
You played it ? Im @job right now and really looking forward to try the demo. I haven’t watched many videos of the game so im not sure what to rhink of it. What i reaaaaallly like is the FPS horror vibe. That i dig. Ill give it a try, since there’s a demo.
I have, both on the Playstation 4 pro and the PC. It’s very very different from the previous games, more like amnesia I would say. But it’s a lot of fun and pretty creepy, but with a lot of replay value. The demo has at least 3 endings…
Aww yea i got the bad ending :(. I guess there’s an ending with the missing fuse box thingy. Gotta do it again i didn’t know there were different endings.
He actually thinks there’s a large amount of people who don’t buy games all because of Denuvo. In reality it’s just a very small group of people and publishers can afford to use Denuvo without upsetting people.
lol that’s a bold assertion. I bet Bethesda lost a lot of money in Doom on PC because it has Denuvo right?
They definitely lost some. Either way, the effects of piracy on sales are negligible, so DRM’s are ultimately pointless regardless.
lol no.
unlikely or dishonored 2 wouldnt use it
doom sold well, and with aggressive sales, they probably managed to get a lot of semipirates (people who could buy, but are cheap, and got killed by good deal and hype train)
as long as a drm is not hurting performance, i don’t mind it being there
Please elaborate for all of us how Denuvo affects your experience of owning or playing the game?
Downloading, will report results of 4k with 1080 gtx and 6800k.
i hope they take it out after a couple of months.
chances are they will not. this is capcom that we are talking about. in the past they outright admit that they like PS3 more than 360 because it is more secure platform compared to the other.
i did not know that. lol ballsy
there is higher chance that world ends tommorow 21st 12th
let’s pledge to religion lol
CPY already cracked the full release of RE7. Didn’t even take them a week to crack it either, more like 4-5 days.
Happy to report the game works settings maxed @ 4k 60fps with ease. Graphically, it is “somewhat” photo realistic. I have a buttkicker gamer 2 on my seat and I literally am not going to play this alone! Lol, should be fun with my gf in surround and 4k.
From my own testing on 6700k/GTX 1070 (stock) and 16GB RAM.
Note that ‘Adjusted Settings’ is Maximum but with Shadow Quality paired about to High instead of Very High, and Ambient Occlusion with SSAO instead of HBAO+ (as these two settings are framerate killers).
1080p, Max Settings = 120-ish fps
1080p, Adjusted Settings = 120-140fps
4k, Adjusted Settings = 45fps (ideal if paired with 30fps lock)
4k, Adjusted Settings + Interlace rendering = 65-75fps
Not entirely sure what the interlace rendering does, but it’s probably some kind of temporal reconstruction from a lower resolution. Whether you like it or not will depend on how sensitive you are to reconstruction artefacts.
If the answer is ‘not a lot’ then 4k, adjusted settings + interlace rendering might be a great way to play the game.
Anyway, that’s what I’ve found after playing around with the game for a few minutes.
BO… .. . .Who am I kidding! I am still playing this, but I will btch and whine to my max. capacity regardless.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <-this time for Denuvo.
“powered by” 😀 😀
This is starting to be very frightening that our game licences and activation of most AAA games are in hands of a company with a history of creating rootkits :-/
Not sure what to think of it …
You didn’t already know that licensing was changed nearly 2 decades ago?. We don’t even own those games anymore. We merely purchased the right to use said games.
Over the 2 decades i got to be fine when its a case of a store aka i am fine when the licence activations are in hands of the actual store owner … but this is just some random austrian ex-Sony DRM company ….with a history of rootkits in their DRMs …. which pretty much has monopoly now … thats what is frightening
oh I know that, but I’m talking about today. Like any store you go into be it physical or digital, you are purchasing the “right” to use their license. They own the game and can do what they want with it, even revoke your access and what not.
Well it’s not the case with GOG, you download the game, you own it.
I’m talking in general about a game’s license. YOu do not own the license of the game, you are merely purchasing the rights to *use* it. This all changed years ago, because it benefits them than it ever would for us.
Welp, they just lost my sale.
Money-hatted by Sony for VR mode timed exclusivity and now Denuvo. Capcom’s cup of generosity runneth over!
No thanks
At this point, Capcom may as well be in Sony’s bed. Apart from the set of PC options, that are supposed to be the main standard, Capcom still aren’t pushing any more for anyone else but Sony.
I bet lots of Oculus and Vive owners which probably get near 1 million together, would have been interested in the VR version of the game, but Capcom sold it out to Sony for 1 year of exclusivity..
I think that they went for the deal because they think that Sony will sell them +2m with their VR alone, trouble is VR in general isn’t booming as much and even then the deal will hurt the over two VR headsets, as well as sales on that end for Capcom.
money makes the world go around
yes and so does crashing and burning for making horrible decisions =D.
was gonna buy it… too bad for them. ill wait for a scene release now.
capcom was on denuvo train for a while now, should’ve seen this coming
Just played it and the atmosphere is veryy creepy. Plays REALLY well, very fluid
5930k@4.3ghz

ALl in all this looks like a well needed turn for the RE franchise and i like that. They might have my money.
Lets make articles about AAA games that don’t use Denuvo instead.
To be fair, he made an article about the demo being available, & mentioned that it features the “anti-tamper” Denuvo tech, that’s a little bit different.
Sure, he mentioned Denuvo in the title, but even so….. 😛
Your disqus works ? mine is broken, for the past 2 days i didn’t get any notifications at all.
Same, I keep getting old sh*t. Thought it was just me, I guess not.
Sometimes it updates itself, mostly it’s just stuck on “6 Notifications” or whatever, no matter how many times I click it. Haven’t gotten a single reply notification since….. well, this morning, I suppose, since I woke up with a bunch of fresh ones.
Something’s been wrong with image links for days now, too.
Broken here too with the exact same issue
idk if you have noticed it but the articles with Denuvo in title are the ones with most comments and clicks lol
that’s because denuvo triggers people
RATED B AS BS:
conspiracy theory:
media is funding denuvo development so they can keep writing crap about it because it earns clicks
Reminded me a lot of how it performs and the looks while compared to Alien Isolation (minus some low res textures here and there).
It runs great all maxed (Asus Strix GTX970 OC with FX8450 @4.0Ghz and 16GB RAM 1866mhz min 90FPS average 110FPS, and in the “camera shoot black and white sequence” at 150FPS), FOV set at 85.
Simple; they’re called Nvidia & Microsoft. ‘Nuff said, no?
If not, here’s another hint; they got lazy.
Intel is extremely anti-competitive, especially against AMD’s CPUs. Whenever they’d fall behind, historically, they’d resort to various anti-competitive methods to cripple AMD’s CPUs as much as possible. They’ve even been dragged into court as a result of these actions.
As for neglect, well, Intel’s 2017 lineup is basically a copy/paste of what Nvidia did with Pascal & Maxwell, so….. 😛 Honestly, ever since they scored major points with the Core 2 Duo & left AMD behind, they’ve slowly been becoming more & more anti-consumer, especially with all these “tick-tock” socket changes they’re doing, & it’s only going to get worse if AMD’s new stuff under-performs, unfortunately.
Gates is a sociopath who thinks Microsoft is too big to fail, so they can do whatever the f*ck they want & get away with it (see him stealing from Apple, & getting away with it in court, for example) & Ballmer… Ballmer was a combination of narcissism & idiocy. Don’t forget, he is the moron who gave us everything from the Zune to Vista, to Windows 8. Also, since you’re thinking “Xbox” – most of the Xbox was just them copying Sony, which is really what Microsoft does best, in the end, making it more of a fluke than anything that they got it “right”, unlike how the Zune was them trying to be original, & as a result, failing, EPICALLY.
Also, let’s not forget, Gates literally caused the breakup of his company into smaller, independent companies due to the Internet Explorer antitrust lawsuit the DoJ filed against them, until the move was stopped because Microsoft had already grown so big, they were afraid of the global-scale repercussions dissolving Microsoft would have on the tech industry. Ironically, stopping the breakup only made things worse…..
….. Who could have ever seen that coming, I wonder…..
Well, to be fair, Windows 7 was pretty cut-&-dry; patch up Vista’s issues, throw in some new sh*t, & bam! Done. Hell, even Vista was fine, post-Service Pack 1.
Oh right, my bad – SEGA, not Sony. I keep forgetting about the “other” consoles these days…. >.<
"Perhaps Intel might've been more motivated to act if PhysX had really pioneered GPU-side physics?"
Possibly.
"As for Havok and Microsoft, I'm surprised that Microsoft isn't pushing Havok with the same zeal that it is pushing DX12."
DX12 is their excuse to push gamers onto Windows 10, regardless of how broken it may or may not be. Havok is just….. "nothing" by comparison.
I dont get why people act like that, all games use denuvo now. To me price is the most important and demos.
“all games use denuvo now.”
Uh, yeah, no. 2016’s Denuvo titles were overwhelmingly centred around 4 publishers; Electronic Arts, Square Enix, U-Be-Soft, & ZeniMax, with some others lining the sides.
Activision hasn’t used it in a single game yet, ever, for example, so it’s still more a “pick & choose” situation rather than an industry-standard practice.
AV basically has guaranteed sales every year and they need all the good press they need lol. And most of their games are multiplayer only anyway.
True. Besides, I may or may not have downloaded the Call of Duty 4 Remaster (seeing as we’ve got some truly an*l people on here right now), but nevertheless, I was never going to pay $80 for it regardless of Denuvo, so….. yeah.
That’s because the only game worth mentioning that sales somewhat well is COD, and that’s multiplayer game so denuvo is not very relevant there.
Tell that to EA, the nutters even put Denuvo on Battlefront last year, LOL.
And this year, Battlefield 1 got it too, even though next-to nobody buys Battlefield for the single-player. Hell, I’d say Call of Duty has more campaign-oriented sales than Battlefield, even.
I don’t understand that at all, Ubisoft didn’t bother with denuvo on Division. Maybe EA gets special treatment because they were denuvo’s first ? with fifa 15 back in 2014 and also they add denuvo to every game pretty much
Could be, maybe they own a portion of the company, or they funded initial development so now they get it for free &/or heavily discounted, or I don’t know, really. Could be a lot of things.
Welp, another one to scratch off the list. I’ll wait a year for a $5 sale where this thing will surely end up.
AAA games tend to not drop price that fast anymore
No problem. I’m more than patient for a crack.
CPY’s on the case, boys.
Unless DENUVO is wantin’ to step up their game with some new version of the Anti-tamper the game is basically cracked within a month at the very worst.
Good for CAPCOM, I guess, they’ll sell more launch copies. Bad for DENUVO, though, they’ll have to return the money.
Close the shop, boys, it ain’t worth it.
ALL HAIL CPY !!!
JC3 remains uncracked even though it was a very highly requested game.
like battlefield 1, and titanfall 2, fifa 17 and others were cracked within month?
YEAH THAT DIDNT HAPPEN…
stop dreaming
Oh, yeah, those games I have no caring for, literally forgot about both of ’em XDDD
Well, no biggie there at all, in a few days CPY’s gonna release another hint and then the game itself, so I am not really dreaming of anything here, I just don’t care XD Playing me my Mankind Divided, not sure if I am enjoying it at all, but it is okay, I guess.
If only there were games worthy enough of a crack, what I’m trying to say 🙂
They are
Not for me, they are not, no, sorry :3
So what are you saiyng is if the game has denuvo they are forgetable
Nah, I am just saying I have literally no need for neither Battlefield One, nor Titanfall 2. I already have Overwatch, I already have Doom and I care little to none about both. Maaaybe I’d like to take a pick into Titanfall 2’s campaign, but it’s nothing urgent at all ¯_(?)_/¯
Lol this is why I quit PC gaming. Well this and terrible ports. Just look at the comments. Most of you aren’t even gamers or even enjoy it. All you do is cry. No wonder PC gaming is a joke in gaming now. Only respect it gets is in League and WoW
it’s hard not to complain when there’s so much unfinished garbage released
Runs perfectly at 1440p 60 fps max settings on my 2500k gtx 970 12 gbram. Awesome pc version
people gonna scream f’ denuvo wont buy… go denuvo baby. day 1 buy, cause you know, i can afford it cause i have a job, not a lazy fa**ot like half of these fa**ots. GO DENUVO BABY!
Cheering for a corporation that literally takes away basic consumer and ownership rights from you. Lmao.
when denuvo shuts down their activation servers, you will be sucker that will have to end up downloading pirated version anyway because game cant launch without successful activation
Cheering for a company that used to be a group of crackers that sold themselves out… You’re funny, my guy.
I mean if the game remains uncracked for a long time, way past the bulk period of sales, what will be the excuse then?
If something like that occurs we’ll get back to this conversation. As for the reason as to why JC3 is still not cracked… I dunno… And I really have NO caring the world for it. It’s a open-world third-person shooter… People at crackwatch are saying that they bought it for cheap, booted it up and got bored after an hour of play. No care in the world.
Also, it’s still broken.
That may be why, actually, no? I mean, they spent some time cracking Arkham Knight, only to end up having to re-crack it just recently because the original crack was the original, broken launch version of it.
I don’t get the controversy anymore, the requirements for denuvo are identical for steam. Most of the worry’s about denuvo causing games to unplayable in the future or causing performance problems are unfounded or false at this point.
The ”demo” runs pretty good for me. And I say “demo” because it’s more like a prequel chapter for the main game, apparently.
Okay so I just finished the demo on PC (I have also played the demo on my PS4) and I have a verdict… So that you know my main PC is A i74970k@4.8GHz with 16GB of DDR3@2400Mhz and a Pascal Titan X @ 2100Mhz. This game runs at 4K@60fps with every graphic option on max… except one option. When HBAO+ is enabled for AO it absolutely kills the frame-rate. Using SSAO for AO looks very good and it almost doubles the frame-rate… I have never seen this option (HBAO+) kill performance before as much as it does in this game! This may be a bug that will be ironed out on final release but for now dropping down to SSAO is the only way to sustain 60fps in 4K with every other option maxed out (except of course the down-sampling option that allows a 2 times down-sample rate…). I can also tell you that some of the textures are of a “muddy” quality that CAPCOM games, especially Resident Evil games, are known for. But besides the few low quality textures the game looks quite nice. Very “atmospheric” and this game is truly survival horror! I really liked the demo!
Oh wow, a demo, you don’t see that everyday. Props to them.
“The FBI”
Oh, you mean the oh-so-trustworthy US Federal Government, that would never place corporate interests above those of a private citizen’s?
Right.
Now that’s cool.
Pirates are not affected by any sort of copy protection, whether it’s Denuvo, or forced store clients like Steam.
Simple fact is any game that’s pirated has no copy protection.
If a games uncracked, the pirates play another game, until a cracked version appears.
The only ones affected by copy protection, are those who buy the game.
That is always detrimental to the buyer, because software they don’t need, is forced upon them, and arguing you like Steam is irrelevant, if you have not got a choice.
Copy protection restricts the choices of paying customers, but not pirates.
It has no useful purpose, and the rights and wrongs of piracy don’t matter.
Only the rights of those who pay should count, and yet they don’t, when any copy protection is used, pirates are the only ones unaffected by it.
Only GOG respect their customers rights, and give you that choice.
When will you stop with this drm free bs. Some indies will accept drm free, others won’t. For AAA games corp. don’t give a f about drm free crap, they want what want more drm not 0 drm, so accept that or stop complainig…
I never started, with any DRM free bs, Just said pirates don’t have to deal with it, only paying customers do.
The main reason I get games from GOG, is to get the game installer, and remove the online store client requirement.
DRM free is just a bonus on top, it’s the store client I don’t want, and would even take installers with DRM, instead of being forced to run Steam/Origin/Uplay, none of which offer anything I want to use.
Simple fact is only GOG gives me the choice, to use their store client, or not.
So that’s my preferred store, because I get that choice.
Denuvo its not our worst problems, performance
is! I have an i5 2500, R9 290 and Samsung 840 240GB ssd, and man, on
max settings performance is all over the place, problem number one, the
game hits HARD on single core performance, but I hit 70fps avg on 1080p
easy, but with the 60fps lock, the game some times lower the CPU usage
for no reason and my FPS go below 30, with default graphics settings I
got an FPS locked all the time, crazy engine they got here. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/79200bb825bf9dc7bebfcddda9eca62d47ff626a3ce8a77424b32346ac5da1de.png
i bought doom, would i buy it if it had no denuvo? hell no, after seeing how bad online is in closed and open beta i wouldnt pay a cent
i got it on gtwoa but still sale is a sale
really disapointed by the demo, its way too short. should have been at least 2 chapters.
that said it looks freaking amazing and those few minutes playing it i already pissed myselfe 5 times 🙂
who knows, maybe i’ll buy it.
I can’t believe this thread is about the morality of stealing intellectual property? Who cares if pirates are pissed about it. If that was my game my franchise my baby, I’d protect it any way I DEEMED FIT! I payed for the actors, story, audio team, artists, programmers, lawyers, business staff, to bring the game into a legal place to even sell it! Of course I want to recoup EVERY SINGLE PENNY, so my next production has a bank account to draw from for an even better swing at entertainment! Denuvo is a SMART choice! Whatever it does, it doesnt effect the performance of the game to where I can notice it! Forza Horizon has the right idea, its just unfortunate PCs cant handle the game and on the fly encryption/decryption at the same time, to boot! I HATE having to download games, its because of YOU PIRATES! I HATE PIRATES!
You RUIN EVERYTHING anyone is trying to do the RIGHT WAY. I’m sure you guys would love crack dealin mofos gettin your baby sister hooked on crack too! With all of this logic…
“Powered”…interesting choice of words 😛
