Hi.

I wanna buy a new game but not sure which out of these?

Horizon Dawn
Control
Doom Eternal
Resident Evil 2

Any recommendations?

I'm leaning toward Horizon Dawn. Would my now aging 480 8GB run it?
 
Resi 2, for the nostalgia! It's very good without it, but with it the game is 10/10 kind of territory.

480 will smash Resi 2. 480 is still a reasonably good card today. Will be fine on those games with obvious tweaking if wanting high fps.
 
I'm just finishing Horizon Dawn and it's a great game. The world is very large quite varied and especially well done in the cold biome. Quests are nothing new but the characters do look good during the cuts scenes (especially Aloy).

Yes it will run at a decent rate with what they call original graphics settings I think but you will be limited to 1920 x 1080 most likely. My 1050 Ti was able to do 40 fps and still looked great while waiting for an RX 5600Xt to turn up.

Doom Eternal is just an adrenalin rush and better in shorter sessions but still a classic.

I've only played Control for 20 mins or so while testing a couple of PCs but also another good looking game that should run well even on more limited hardware as it seems well coded. I will get back to play it as it was a good opening but as usual too many good games to play.

I don't think you'll be disappointed by Control or Horizon but definitely try Horizon if you like a big open area to explore while doing missions when you want.

Ok thanks for the info.

I loved the original re2 and bought a couple of the remakes but didn't really get into them which puts me off a little.

Probs going to get HD I think.

Just seen Steam Halloween sale is Thursday I think. Figure if both games appear I will give resi a go (it's odd as I feel I have to get it rather than want it so much lol) and also grab HD.

Cheers :)
 
Resi 2 remake isn't like the Resi 1 remake. It plays like a modern game but with keeps the original style, story and features. You'd be silly to pass it up if it's on sale. I bought it on sale too, i always wait for price reductions, but would have happily paid rrp. I don't often say that about games.
 
I was thinking similar and just bought HZD - haven't actually started it yet but have heard a lot of good things about it from a lot of people. Can't wait to get in to it.
