![]() Stay tuned, as always, more updates in the coming days. Fans were upset by the same, causing Capcom to reintroduce the non-enhanced versions and the rest is history. However, this resulted in support only for Windows 10 (64-bit) and DirectX 12, on top of increasing the requirements. The whole mess actually began last year when Capcom updated the PC requirements for all three titles last year to take advantage of current-gen features. However, Resident Evil 7: biohazard isn’t mentioned, and there’s no word on when its ray-tracing options will return. However, it caused the ray-tracing options for all three titles to go missing.Īfter promising an update to fix this, a new patch is available on Steam, re-enabling ray tracing for Resident Evil 2/3 Remake. Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7 are available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.Capcom recently pushed an update to Resident Evil 2 Remake, Resident Evil 3 Remake and Resident Evil 7: biohazard on PC, likely preparing drop support for their DirectX 11 versions in July. As the oldest Resident Evil title receiving a next-generation upgrade, RE7 manages to look better than Resident 2 and 3 in some instances, and showcases how far the RE Engine has come. The light post behind the player now brightens the gun model, which was almost invisible in the original version. ![]() Light scatters across the narrow hallway, even illuminating the corridors of a scene thanks to ray-traced global illumination and bounce lighting. With ray-traced lighting in full effect, the scene composition in Resident Evil 7’s darkest corridors change significantly. Non-RT versions are shrouded in total darkness. Light posts in the Baker House only illuminate in pockets, making more ominous scenes - but also unrealistic ones. However, Resident Evil 7’s lighting techniques seem limited compared to current games, particularly in terms of bounce lighting. RELATED: Resident Evil 3 Unreal Fan Remake Now Available to DownloadĪny fan that has stepped foot inside the Baker House would know that Resident Evil 7 ramps up the scare factor with dark corridors and moody lighting. Screen space reflections in RE3 suffer from the same graphical artifacts as RE2, but these are also removed with next-gen enhancements. ![]() ![]() Reflections are also displayed prominently across Raccoon City through wet surfaces and rain puddles. With the next-gen update, R E3’s metallic surfaces now render Jill in real-time thanks to the implementation of ray-traced reflections. The original version of Resident Evil 3 lacks Jill’s character model reflected on surfaces like subway cars, which some players may not notice but would be difficult to ignore after switching to the enhanced version. Reflections in Resident Evil 3 are much improved and benefit more than in RE2 and 7. However, as the game is filled with subway cars and rain puddles, RE3 becomes a prime candidate to showcase underappreciated benefits of ray-tracing. Ray-traced lighting in RE3 is subtle and doesn’t affect the visual look as much as the other next-gen upgrades. Tried to re-read game archives, uninstalled and reinstalled the mods.

Players should also note how Leon's jacket looks true to its polyester texture instead of a glossy leather appearance resulting from inaccurate screen space reflections. is remarkably cleaner, visually speaking, and illuminated better as a result. ![]() RE2’s next-gen update cleans up this effect through real-time ray tracing, which accurately calculates how these surfaces should reflect and diffuse light on each surface. That strange white halo effect is the product of RE Engine’s screen space reflection, which is imperfect and prevalent throughout Resident Evil 2’s settings. As impressive as the RE Engine is, it has some graphical shortcomings, like graphical artifacting around Leon and the office chairs at the Racoon City Police Department entrance. Taking place mainly within the claustrophobic corridors of the Raccoon City Police Department, RE2’s setting litters each scene with ceramic tile floors, wooden beams, and marble statues that reflect and diffuse light. The older RE remake is Resident Evil 2, which looked exceptional in 2019 and still looks great today. ![]()
