CAPCOM has released a final Resident Evil Requiem media blast ahead of the game's planned launch in late February. Speaking in an interview with the Japanese PlayStation Blog, CAPCOM Director Koshi Nakanishi outlined the PlayStation 5 Pro modes that users equipped with the more powerful console will be able to choose from: ray tracing at 60 frames per second or up to 120 frames per second (with an average of 90 FPS) without ray tracing.
When playing on PS5 Pro, you can take advantage of the ray tracing on/off feature. When it's on, you can play at 4K output, 60fps, and full ray tracing. When it's off, those with a monitor that supports high frame rates can play at a maximum of 120fps, with an average of 90fps. We've spent a lot of time optimizing it.
What personally impressed me about the PS5 Pro was its high frame rate. You might be wondering if you can really tell the difference, but when you go back to 60fps, it still feels a bit lacking. The difference in the amount of information makes the world seem more persuasive.
In the interview, Nakanishi also mentioned how the developers of Resident Evil Requiem have utilized the unique DualSense controller features (haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and controller speaker) to augment the player's immersion.
We utilize these features to create a sense of horror. For example, if you get killed by a zombie, you'll end up getting bitten, and we made sure that you can feel the texture of your arm being grabbed and the sensation of being bitten in your hands holding the controller through haptic feedback.
Of course, the trigger weight when firing a gun also changes for each gun, thanks to the adaptive trigger. Reloading a gun also causes vibrations and a sound to be emitted from the controller's microphone. When solving puzzles by spinning a box containing jewels, the feeling of the jewels rattling inside is recreated through vibrations and sounds from the controller, making the game world feel even more realistic and immersive.
These should hopefully be available on PC as well when using the DualSense to play the game.
Lastly, YouTuber Punish has uploaded a new gameplay video of nearly eighteen minutes featuring Leon Kennedy, one of the game's two protagonists, who was kept secret (at least officially) until last month. You can find it embedded below.
