How to set up Resident Evil 2 remake for the best realistic and immersive experience.

[Il Principe Tulipano]

Start from default settings.


BRIGHTNESS:

The most important thing. Set max brightness to max and min brightness to min. At last set general brightness to the min. You do this to get the Full Dynamic Range of luminosity.
If the game now is too much dark for you, try to increase the general brightness.

GAMEPLAY:

Set HUD and tutorial off, so you don't have anything on screen "out" of the game's world.

Set the Field of View to min. This increase the immersion with the character and the claustrophobic feeling (you can't, for example, see nothing behind the back of him/her).

Set a low Mouse Sensibility, to have a more realistic movement and feel.

Set the Aim Assist and the Reload off.

AUDIO:

Use a large Dynamic Range (to have an uncompressed audio).

If you use a good pair of headphone set the Binaural Effect on. I usually turn it off for other games, but in RE 2 seems to work pretty nice.

GRAPHIC:

Seems that in RE 2 DirectX 11 works better than the 12. Use it.

Max out all the settings, but turn off: Scattering (it blurs out the image), Noise Effect, Motion Blur and Chromatic Aberration.

To have a clear image DON'T use AA. Use instead the upscale option (120% works nice for me). If your PC can't handle the upscaling use SMAA anti-aliasing.

If you want solid FPS and less CPU load consider to lock your framerate.

Two small annotations:

• Dont' trust the GPU memory indicator
  
• If you want to boost your fps consider to not use the normal Rendering Option

Enjoy!

The brightness setting is supposed to be set to match your monitor.

Disable depth of field, film grain, motion blur & the chromatic something settings for immersove gameplay.

Yes, it's supposed to do so, but it limitates the ratio between black and white. If you set it as I said you can get pure black and pure white.
Instead, set a correct brightness value from the settings that your monitor offers (so you can get always an appropiate image on screen).
