Got the Punisher and sold the Leon pistol, all buffed up and got the shooting range A score silver tokens too so my case is all jazzed up decently. Game just works so well it's unreal. Only played 4 years ago on Gamecube but only for a short blast and nothing more so this is all new now.

The skin textures are just amazing:

Finding it looks better with HDR off for some weird reason the HDR pass is a bit lacking in dynamic range!

Seems to be the case with more HDR releases than not these days :( not sure why - I think a mixture of just fudging an SDR gamma ramp and/or just rendering in higher bit depth without any tone mapping.
 
HDR is definitely done right with this game, no issues to note (unlike Res Evil 2 Remake which was just crap in both HDR and SDR). Are you sure you've got your HDR calibration profile enabled in Windows, and then adjusted the game's HDR brightness to the correct level too?

Here's how I see it, the light sources are very bright but also contain full dynamic range, exactly as I'd expect, the rest of the world textures landscape etc look normal too, only areas light hits is under HDR, and black areas have an extra depth of black.

My PS5 copy has been sitting in wraps since yesterday morning:P The steelbook is sick, I think I'll keep it and sell the game in the standard box when I get a better GPU/screen to replay on the master race setup:D

I might actually wait till Mercenaries drops as I wanted to do the first playthrough
with my friend for nostalgia's sake and we probably won't see each other for like two weeks or so anyways.
 
This game seems to be a lot harder to aim with controller than the original. I played all the other games with a pad and 100%ed them on hardmode etc and had no issues, but I can't seem to get the hang of this remake. Like when they suddenly charge me I have 0 chance of getting a headshot before they get to me and end up just spraying them and wasting ammo.
 
I'm playing on standard just using the normal handgun, but an optional boss side quest used up almost all my ammo. I've been backtracking for treasure and killing everything.

Game almost feels open world at times, a lot more than the original, but turns out that sub boss was just before a certain defend the area section where you really need some ammo.

I had 10 hangun bullets, about 5 rifle bullets and two grenades, just barely made it on standard and thought I might even have to restart for running out of ammo for first time since Code Veronica.

Had a character assure it would be safer upstairs, oh, you mean the upstairs I've been running up and down the past 5 mins that currently has 3 las plagas whipping their heads about. Still a great sequence, but that sub boss damn near cleared me out of all my ammo.

Great game, but definitely harder on the ammo than the original, mostly due to side quests.


Edit instead of double post:

Forgot to mention some points about the handguns, apparently only Leon's normal handgun and the DLC gun have the fully upgraded 5x crit on headshots, Punisher has the hit enemies 2 in a row gimmick from the original game, but crucially the Red 9 has been nerfed as it no longer can be used with the red dot site, making the ones that can use it like normal handgun have some extra benefits they didn't used to in the prior version of the game. About time as the Red 9 was overpowered compared to others except maybe the standard handgun with the full crit upgrade bonus.

I have plenty ammo. But I explored everywhere and on top of that I use crossbo when I can which is free ammo.
 
Are you playing on Assisted? Standard mode I find it gives you just enough, I seem to be running out a lot in some places.

I am on Standard. Never run out once and kill absolutely everything, even the snakes, crows etc. Just headshot and knife them.

Could be you guys playing with a controller missing a lot of your shots? I hardly miss with keyboard and mouse.

Damn merchant done 'em good, strolling around selling faulty weapons.

Oh and pro tip. Cross bow also helps with not scaring other crows away. So you can kill more than one each time you see them. With a gun shot you would be lucky to kill two as it sets them off.
