Capcom's new patches for Resident Evil 2 Remake, its sequel and Resident Evil 7 received generally favourable reviews from the DF staff in their console iterations. However, Capcom's approach to PC is lacklustre and disappointing. Alex takes a look at the most demanding of the three games - Resident Evil 2 Remake - and comes away shocked and disappointed by an upgrade that, for the most part, is anything but. Why is Capcom treating PC gamers like second-class citizens? If you're not using RT or your GPU doesn't support RT - ie the situation for most users - this is actually a substantial downgrade.

I played through some of RE3 on this system: RX 6700XT, Ryzen 7 5700X, 32 GB DDR4-3200, Samsung 980 Pro SSD. Long story short, I put everything on maximum at 1080p within the 12 GB VRAM and with FreeSync it was perfectly fine. Still need to try RE2 on this system. So I think "it depends(tm)"
