Anyone else slightly disappointed after playing the demo?

[V I D A L]

I was very much looking forward to it.. but after playing the demo to it's entirety. (1 hour was enough to finish Village demo once and Castle demo twice)...

I have to say.. I'm not impressed.

Graphics look good, but not half as good as RE7 did. RE7 is already 4 years old and still looks photorealistic (I just played through again this week while waiting for RE8)... I was playing RE7 last night and the moment RE8 demo started it felt like immediate downgrade. Everything maxed out, 4k, Raytracing on etc... It just doesn't look as good. It doesn't have the same light and realism.

Gameplay wise.. it became a lot faster and more fluid, which isn't a good thing. It feels like a regular FPS now... This could very well be the next Far Cry. Ethan is fast and nimble... RE7 was slow and heavy for a reason.. it was a survivor horror..

After RE6, RE7 was a breath of fresh air.. the franchise was again moving into the right direction of pure survivor horror. RE8 moves it back toward the action horror of RE4 and RE5. You again have giant inventory space like RE4.. key items and treasures have it's own separate inventory to not take up space.. feels arcadey and lame. No more limited space, item boxes and traditional Resident Evil goodness.

By no means I'm saying this won't be a great game.. Just a bit sad to see the franchise leaning back into the action shooter again after having just went back to be fully survivor horror.

but anyway i felt on PS4, the RE2 remake was lack luster and RE3 remake was at best a DLC for RE2 as small as i thought it felt. there was so much more to do in the classic in the main maps and story.. and in 3 i really hoped they opened the map to be a true size warzone full of zombies and or far more to do u know?

unfortunately who do notice how RE2remake actually is(dev without passion)
are minority
i will never forgive Capcom
RE3 when release was underwhelming cuz it's rush product
and AFTER 20 YEARS THEY DONE IT AGAIN
what an waste opportunity

surprised i gotten a comment.
but yes i have seen the down side of them also sadly and i would never touch RE7 i hate the idea of PT in RE since i always loved the classic charm of the older games. SURE i dont mind having a FPS in resident evil just do it right while keeping the feel for the normal RE felt from the start. u would haveing the world look very detailed and beautifully done as it was in to zombie horror idea and the heavy details off screen u noticed. thO there was some things i never liked like the zombies combing back to life after u return in a area (with no option to stab there brains in like i would of when i come and go a area irl (safety 1st)

but yes i loved the idea of the classic RE4 but i hated the route it was going tho and from there it made no sence and no longer felt like RE.

at this point it just feels like there milking the name with out the true RE feel sadly
i can easily say adding High detail 4k this and that really has degraded games over all in the story option or the other game options to make a game great.

i rather have a good looking game but having it a great then having a photo real look but being a bad boring game or just lame. or like one post nuked world all it had was killing looting return home option while forgetting the fell of the game was.

True, at least REmake 2 had some love in other areas, but it was VERY safe. REmake 3 was just sad.

I don't understand. I cannot possibly comprehend how you've even been able to come to such a conclusion. Your vision must've seriously deteriorated over the last 4 years is all I can think. Just..... yeah....

No way did I feel like I was nimble enough for the game to be feel like "Far Cry" seriously wtf? At one point I had 40 spare ammo and like 12 in the clip for my pistol. A few enemies later I was completely out and had to use a knife (Hardcore setting). The enemies are strong if you want them to be. The survival is there if you want it to be. The horror is absolutely there.

Considering just how you've misjudged the games visuals (seriously what are you on?) I can safely assume you've also misjudged the gameplay. You've set your expectations way too high, as per usual, now you're in for a bad time. GG.

Install RE7 right now and play it. You are the one who probably forgot how good that game looks.

Re8 looks far superior to re7 visually. That's not even up for debate.

They both look fine, if you don't go close to the walls. However, graphics do not make up for poor controls, poor combat mechanics, poor sound design that makes up the core of RE8 from the demo experience. I ran RE7 on ultra, visually, and it looked decent. Just like REmake2. Difference being, one has fun gameplay and one does not. I'm sure you can guess in what I'm referring.

game looked amazing to me when i played xD

I think that RE 8 demo has the graphics toned down. Demos do that for people to be able to enjoy a smooth gameplay. Wait for the full game try it for 2 hr and refund if you really think it still looks bad.

You really think they're going to do that? Nah, the game looks very average and I can only put this down to their target of 60fps on the last gen consoles.

Hey man its a video game, play it and enjoy it. You want to see the setting were RE 8 takes place ? Get a plane ticket and come to Romania in Hunedoara and you can see the village and the castle since it was photoscanned there.

No, but I've seen you whine before on various RE forums.

I love it and makes the game feels .

That invalidates anything else you have to say about graphics in games. NO ONE likes motion blur in action games unless they are insane or trolling.

Only the people whose their brains can't handle. Any modern action game has motion blur option. It started way back in 2007 with Crysis and everybody was impressed by it. Since then, any and every modern FPS has it... every Call of Duty from this past generation, Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal, Battlefield 3, 4, 1, 5.... If nobody liked it, it wouldn't be in games. If you don't like, turn it of... but not having it at all is just lack of feature and laziness.
Besides, you are the trolling one with this post.

It's not resident evil, so I won't be paying for it because it's false advertisement.

I'm falling for it. The only reason I'm playing this game on release it's because it's called Resident Evil 8. They got me.. I will always play Resident Evil on release. If Capcom had done this game as a brand new IP.. as they should have, so they wouldn't be limited by RE science fiction theme and embrace fantasy elements, I would wait to buy it later down the road... probably on it's first sale or something.

Are you smoking? Textures in RE7 were ass, even when fully maxed.
