I agree that there's plenty of tapes, but I'm playing on PS4 and though my aim might not be as good as using a mouse (for the all important headshots) I'm finding it pretty tricky.

I was halfway through the game before I realised the Wesker pistol took standard handgun ammo, so that certainly didn't help but those 4 legged spore monsters that were literally not a threat on Medium are really a pain in the arris on Madhouse.

Forgive me, I often forget how much harder these games must be with a controller.

Mouse didn't feel super responsive in this game so hitting their heads was still a pain, but with a controller I'd probably miss every shot! The shotgun is the safest way to neutralise them.

aiming is easy wit mouse.. just turn off auto aim in options!

Loved this game from start to finish. Got a bit scared several times running away from stuff and generally being a big girl's blouse

but it was fun and exhilarating all the way. Excellent PC port too, no worries with performance.

Just reached salt mines, gotta say it's very easy to stack up ammo which is odd for a resi game, playing on normal and don't think I've ever had no ammo

run out of ammo when you open that locked morque cupboard, go out then more appear behind you.

I'm now up to the

mutant jack fight

and that is proving very tricky as well on madhouse

In a way it's easier in PSVR because you aim your reticle by looking.

Another update just came through Steam, 642 MB.

My 970 seems to be struggling with this

. I'm getting constant slowdows.

The game is amazing so far though. Definitely back to its roots and such an improvement over the disaster that was RE6. Only thing missing is the old style amazing soundtrack and that calming saferoom music.

I'm finding it a little tough with the regenerating enemies I like to take my time and explore and that eats up all my ammo.

Likely due to VRAM - the game likes lots of it.

Yeah I think it could be. Would a 1070 handle the game at 1080p? Its been a great card, but think its time i upgraded.

Easily handle. I played it 4K and it did fine for me on my overclocked 1070

Disable shadow cache if you haven't already, that should help.

Easily - with my 1070 the FPS rarely drops below 130 with 1080p max settings.

Thanks i'll give that a try in a minute. Had to stop playing last night as it was unplayable.

Edit, that was already disabled. I'll try dropping the texture quality.

Would not bother most are terrible apart from a sadistic card game most of its just a collection of existing artwork & game assets re-used in different ways...even for Capcom this is a shockingly lazy Season Pass effort!

heartburnron · 21 Feb 2017 at 12:24

So is there no more story to play through in the DLC? Just stupid mini games?

4 banned video tapes then in the spring some Free to everyone story DLC. Vol 1 + 2 DLC is the sort of content which used to be free now its being sold as part of the season pass :rolleyes:

its a new low even for Capcom

Should have all been content included in the main game like it used to be! Even for Capcom's recent low standards this is outrageous as most of the content is the equivalent of what you used to unlock in RE4 for instance after beating it on hard mode!
