Resident Evil 9 is incredible, it's like if Resident Evil 1 and 6 loved each other very much and had a lot of passionate sex and RE1 ended up accidentally pregnant, but RE6 didn't wanted to have kids so he left and RE1 divorced and now Resident Evil 9 lives with RE1 but occasionally spends time with RE6 on the weekends.
Also, it continues to be incredibly embarassing for the rest of the videogame industry just how obscenely well the Resi games always perform while looking like they do. Fluid, Stable 60FPS on high details exclusing RayTracing, not a single drop all throughout.

But but but... Steam users don't buy "cinematic™" 3rd person games!
The pixel art here looks amazing, like this would fit perfectly with Capcom at their pinnacle of CPS2. As great as the pixel art on modern games can sometimes be, they rarely get remotely up to the tier of all the true legends.
What the actual fuck

Hahaha I just tested it myself and I can confirm that it's true: - Latest NVIDIA Game Ready Driver (595.59): 79 FPS - GRD 576.88 from July 2025: 133 FPS Exact same scene, 1440p path tracing with DLSS SR Quality + FG 2X + RR. What. A. Mess!

You guys shouldn't be celebrating a singleplayer horror game doing 320k concurrent on Steam.
This is unacceptable and quite dangerous.
Gaming executives need to immediately greenlight 10 new GaaS games to counter this news before things get out of hand.

I have the same issue with this as I do the casting of He Man in Masters of the Universe. No one is going To be good enough to fill the role.
On the one hand, I'm happy that RE is doing well for Capcom since it's apparently a good game, and runs pretty well on PC.
On the other hand, the PC gaming wiki tells me that they still haven't put a FoV slider into their 3D game, and that's a bit sad. Especially since this is not "just" a matter of preference for some people -- though that should be enough -- but also a matter of accessibility for those prone to motion sickness with mismatched FoVs.
That said, I feel like many of the other points are not new, specific to our current situation, or surprising. Political nationalism is actually a thin veneer over elite state-capital coordination? Capital is happy to align with authoritarianism? I think a brief look at history shows that AI is not needed for these to be true. I still don't see how weakening government oversight of corporations, or its ability to limit their influence, helps anyone, but obviously if a government is fundamentally corrupt then having more of the same isn't going to improve things. However, the only viable long-term strategy in that case, if you want to build a healthy society, is to improve the government, not to give up on the idea of governing and let corporations/capital do whatever they want.

Thanks, an interesting read and I agree with many of the points it makes. One thing I hadn't actively thought about before is how much more geographically bounded the operations of big tech become when they are dependent on gigawatt-scale AI datacenters.

You get examples like this where having out of date drivers will cause massive issues. Other examples include almost every UE5 game using lumen GI where it straight up does not load on Z1 Extreme.
So...
Resident Evil Requiem is....good I guess but it not a game that dares move beyond what's expected of it. The formula is getting rather stale and while I love the mood and general atmosphere (and the tech, my 5080 is very happy) I can't shake the feeling that I will forget this game once I'm done with it.
Modern big budget gaming is not as memorable as it once was.

I wish I could be hanging out with the cool RE9 kids, but I'm actually going through RE4R and still have to play RE7 and 8 (and the less liked RE6 and Rev2) so I don't feel I can skip straight to 9. Which is not bad because Capcom are actually good at putting their games on sale. So perhaps I'll grab RE9 once it's 50% off.
Resi seems to run ok in 30fps on my ancient PC, surprisingly. But not feeling in the mood for a Resi atm so putting it off. Probably after new PC build. Performance might still go to shit in the later/Leon bits anyway, though I imagine the initial intro scene with the pedestrians is a decent benchmark.
This game is cool as hell. According to some people, it's a really meaty demo. I've only put 20 min into it and I'm sold.
Question, I sold a phone about a year ago, I logged out and reset it, but on my Steam account it says it was active yesterday, what on Earth?
Man, this has been by far the best RE game from the latest trilogy (7,8,9). Leon's gameplay is pure perfection, too bad his sections have been so short so far
This is what happens when you pitch Single-Player games to Sony.
But nooooooooo, all the other studios just want to make GaaS games themselves, that is their passion, they love to make them, even if they have no experience in it!
Spoiler alert: they pitched what Sony wanted to hear.
We are the NPC's in some idiot's simulation where they are the protagonist.
I can't fathom how some of the events of the last 20 years make any sense or are based on reality otherwise.
If you make a novel out of it and base it on one of the super billionaires and/or dictators, the comment section would be flooded with people lambasting the author for unrealistic events and a Mary/Marty Sue type of protagonist.
Alright Crimson Desert preordered! Hoping it turns out good! Looks incredible and after spending ungodly amount of time on Pathfinder I am ready for more open worlded RPG
Many characters in GFL are named after the guns they use. Groza is wielding the Russian OTs-14 "Groza" rifle, thus "Groza". It's my first time learning that Groza means Dread in Polish, and it kinda describes an unresolved story thread in the main story - Her system crashed multiple times in the story so she believes that she might get hacked by an unknown party and pose a risk to the commander, so she has been trying to get rid of herself.
On the other hand, Krolik is... self-explanatory. Bnnuuuuuyyyy
The Crew Motorfest is 90% off which is a historical low for the game.
I'm confused. Wasn't the demon's souls remake well received by gamers and press?

Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit.
Re9 fov mod and more by the best dog is out: https://www.nexusmods.com/residentevilrequiem/mods/13?tab=files
Having a blast with RE9 fully in third person because of the low fov, will switch to first person for the next playthrough with sane fov.

I'd change my steam password just in case. And log out all devices.
To add to this, isnt it that you can only have one phone activated at the time and assume you have one now?

As far as I know, there are many design changes in the remake. I'm not too informed about the changes but many people talked about them when it launched. Just found this video and it highlighted many of them
It makes some questionable visual to certain NPCs and enemies, but in general its just a vocal minority that dislikes it.
I'm surprised that I Green Man Gaming already had keys for Marathon when I preodered it an hour ago. I would have expected it closer to the preload date.
It seems full RE9 playthroughs are starting to appear on youtube. My time has come.
As far as I remember there where rumblings that From Software did not like the remake?
I think I heard it on a podcast (maybe Digital Foundry?).
That in turn would explain why the remake was never ported to PC and why there is no Bloodborne remake/remaster.
From Software does not have the time for these projects and other game studios are not allowed to work on such projects...

I bought awhile back and played it about 4 hours. All it made me want to do it play Forza Horizon instead. It just didn't click with me compared to FH.

it's good, but locked to 60fps, and online-only (they might add an offline mode eventually, i think they're planning on doing that like they did with 2)
We're living in a dystopia with none of the cool shit
