RE 2: Remake vs RE 7 Requirements Comparison

[TaeKwonDodo]

Hey everybody. Sorry for the (maybe) confusing title.
I didn't really know what title I have to chose. :D

The thing is: The upcoming remake was developed with the same engine like Resident Evil 7.
I have not the best PC to run the modern games well. After some testing and change settings and stuff, RE 7 worked barely on my system. Maybe the specs aren't so important, but if you want I will add them.

I mean: RE 7 was developed a little different to the new RE 2. In RE 2 many places are very detailed and stuffed with objects. The effects are awesome, insane lighting and much more. But before I talk too much crap, I'll come to the point what I really want to know.

When I can play Resident Evil 7 on my PC, will the performance be better in the Resident Evil 2: Remake, kind of the same, or could I have problems to run it? What do you think?

And sorry for bad grammar. ^^

I think the performance will be pretty similar, depending on how optimized the game is.

I think resident 2 remake looks better than re7 so maybe will be a little more heavy to run... and re2 remake will use Denuvo system (anti piracy sistem) that use alot of cpu and ram, this anti piracy system have alot of polemic bc the games that use this anti piracy system used to run pretty bad... i hope this is not the case...

It doesn't use CPU and RAM at all, that's just a wild rumor spread around that was debunked several times years ago, please, stop spreading misinformation.

Oh, and by the way, RE7 also uses denuvo. Inform yourself better next time.

Denuvo calls are, in fact, quite CPU intensive. Ideally they're placed in places where the CPU is mostly idle (loading screens, menus, etc) so it doesn't matter in the context of the game's overall performance.

The primary issue with denuvo is where the calls are placed, and how frequently they're made. If a game only makes a handful and just makes them in menus, it's not going to have a tangible impact on performance. If a game makes them all the time and during gameplay, it will cause issues (see also Rime's 100k/minute denuvo calls).

alright dad..

Denuvo uses resources, this was said by themselves, they are actually making a new software they claim doesnt consume resources.

Just compare how a game runs with Denuvo, and how it runs without Denuvo.

So you should inform yourself better next time.

I actually did, as did numerous other people.

[Coleco_84]

Anyway, RE7 also had Denuvo, and both games run on the same engine, this should run as RE7 run on your rig.

If you didnt notice a difference, you are pretty much lying.

The diference in Marvel vs Capcom Infinite was night and day after they removed Denuvo.

And again, they themselves said the current software consumes resources.

I wouldn't think that any specs that ran RE7 more than well would be weak for RE2. But on a side note, DMC5 would probably be more demanding since there's a lot of special effects, on-screen enemies and larger environments.

[TaeKwonDodo]

We aren't in the 70's but peace to all! :D
Do not fight. Save the energy for the survival on 25th. ^^
And I need much more energy and patience for the download.
I don't know how big the game is (maybe about 30 GB?!),
but it will take long with my 350 kb/s download "speed". T_T

Thank you so far for the information.

Should be very similar. They're hitting 60fps on the Ps4 Pro, so you shouldn't need a super fast machine to run this game.

That said, they're still using post-processing to hide horrendously low res. textures like they did in RE7.

[Wolfie]

hello all good luck

DMCV also runs on the same engine than RE7 and REmake 2...the difference is that while these two can be enjoyed at 30fps, DMCV has the to played at 60fps, so if you have a low rig, it might be a problem.

It does, also reduces performance by quite a lot in some games. The fact you are ignorant about it and believe the BS the press say or some random moron at the Steam forums does not make it any less true.

I recommend you a Youtube channel called Overlord Gaming, he talks about all of this and shows how it can affect some games. Or not and keep believing anything you want.
