Resident Evil Village PS5 Details Reveal Dynamic 4K & Ray Tracing
Details about the PlayStation 5 version of Resident Evil Village confirm that the game will feature dynamic 4K and HDR with ray tracing. The eighth major installment in Capcom's long-running horror series, Resident Evil Village will retain the first-person perspective that was introduced back in 2017's Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. The series first began in 1996, and it has grown into a huge franchise with numerous films and comic books in addition to games.
While Resident Evil 7: Biohazard was considered a worthy new installment in the franchise by many long-time fans, Resident Evil Village looks to be adhering even more closely to the series' roots. Early impressions of the game suggest that gameplay will be similar to Resident Evil 4, with a heavier emphasis on combat and action rather than strictly survival. Resident Evil 4 is beloved by fans of the series, which makes it an excellent source of inspiration for the new installment. The game is also said to bring back a heavy emphasis on exploration, which was prevalent in older games of the series but has become less apparent in more modern entries.
Resident Evil fans, and horror game fans in general, are anticipating what they will encounter in the series' eighth numbered entry. The game is set to feature long-time franchise protagonist Chris Redfield, but this time Chris will be in a surprisingly antagonistic role. This twist sets up an unpredictable adventure for fans, with a narrative that puts a spin on the series' established formula. However, gamers are also hoping that the next installment will take cues from successes of the past, such as the effective artificial intelligence employed by the Resident Evil 2 remake's unrelenting foe Mr. X.
The Resident Evil series is constantly evolving to keep players on their toes, but the games have always taken full advantage of available hardware. From cinematic camera angles to effective artificial intelligence, these games use technology to amplify their terrifying atmosphere. With Resident Evil Village carrying the series into the next generation with 4K resolution and ray tracing, players are sure to become fully immersed into their worst nightmares.
Resident Evil Village will release in 2021 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and PC.
