If you have to add an option to remove mouse smoothing AFTER RELEASE you’ve made a bad release.
Tried the game, when i saw that it didn’t have that i refunded instantly.
There doesn’t need to be an option for it either. It just has to be OFF! Correct mouse input is raw.
And if you want to offer the user to mess with the input you can take the Windows mouse input as opposed to raw from the driver. Then the user can enable the dreaded “enhanced precision”, and I’m pretty sure other ways to mess up the input are also applied to that mode of mouse input, so users could do all sorts of things with their input, including making it snap to angles, acceleration with and without a ceiling, anything at all.
Using some kind of falsified mouse input as the default already says all you need to know about a port.
It’s a Japanese console game ported to PC. Expectations for having even basic PC options should be in the dirt.
Excellent!
Haha, ??? I laughed so hard. After all these years, I don’t think anyone ever asked him that.
ahhahahah
Deficient!
I hoped they would improve the framepacing. Well, at least we have enough other games.
They should add a precompile-thing for the shaders to resolve that stutters…
Improved stutter a bit for me
So is this the game from the director of Silent Hill 1? Anyone tried it?
Silent Hill? AHAHAHA
Maybe did you mean Resident Evil?
What’s so funny? He is the director of the first Silent Hill and Siren franchises.
Wtf are you saying?
The one you speak of is Keiichiro Toyama!
My mistake, but the game have another SH veteran working on it, called Suguru Murakoshi, who worked on SH4, and no Resident Evil director AFAIK.
Here we are again…???????????????
The creator of this game is Shinji Mikami aka the father of Resident Evil…
Director: Kenji Kimura
Designer: Suguru Murakoshi (from SH4)
Writers: Syoji Ishimine, Seiji Ebihara, Kenji Kimura
Maybe Shinji is the producer?
Mikami is the founder of Tango GameWorks
Sure, but on the creativity side he only got involved in the first the Evil Within game
Too late, already finished it.
And? Is it any good?
I pre-ordered it after the first trailer, but only because I’ve always loved Mikami-san’s games (I really, REALLY loved TEW 1 and 2) and now this pile of crap is installed on my PC…but I really can’t seem to like it.
I played the first 2 hours and my interest in this game is already dead!
What do all of you like about this game? Am I abnormal or what?
People might give me crap for this but it’s like me and the Deus EX games. I’m trying to get into them but I just can’t. I feel as if both games play themselves. The original games were so different. But these last 2, I feel as if I’m just along for the ride. I installed mankind divided and I’m trying again this past week. We will see. Too much Automation in these games.
Love this game
best game this year so far. anyone who disagrees, please cope
This is the worst AAA game I have seen in years!
I really wanted to play The Evil Within 3 instead of this disgrace…but instead Tango Gameworks and Mikami-san have decided to kill their own company by bringing out this gaming abortion!
nah walking through haunted Tokyo was kino. I liked the narrative too. combat was 7/10 but quite enjoyable.
