A video showing Resident Evil Village running on different consoles demonstrates which system runs the game best. The latest entry in the long-running Resident Evil survival horror franchise uses a first-person perspective as players face off against a host of deadly monsters. The game is a direct sequel to 2017's Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, but the developers have taken an abundance of inspiration from Resident Evil 4.
Resident Evil Village's May 7 release date is nearly here, and early reactions to Resident Evil Village have been quite positive. Critics are praising the survival horror title's innovations, with brand-new mechanics breathing new life into the franchise while series staples are updated for modern sensibilities. The game's first-person perspective is said to fit particularly well with the more action-oriented gameplay inspired by Resident Evil 4. Many early reactions suggest that the game takes the best parts of the series' prior releases, while also implementing a unique setting and tone to keep things interesting. Developer Capcom recently released a launch trailer for Resident Evil Village, giving players one last glimpse at the game before its May 7 release.
YouTube channel ElAnalistaDeBits has posted a video comparing the performance of Resident Evil Village on various different consoles. Sony's PlayStation 5 and Microsoft's Xbox Series X and S are all featured in the comparison. The video focuses on the frame rates achieved by each version of the game, revealing which console offers the smoothest performance. ElAnalistaDeBits concludes that the Xbox Series X achieves slightly higher frames per second than the PlayStation 5, while the Xbox Series S underperforms both of its peers. It is suggested that Series S players disable the game's ray tracing features in order to achieve maximum performance.
While those who play Resident Evil Village on PlayStation 5 may be disappointed by the lower frame rate achieved by their console, ElAnalistaDeBits previously compared Resident Evil Village's ray tracing across consoles to reveal that the technology runs better on Xbox Series X. The prior video shows findings similar to the channel's newest report, with the Xbox Series X achieving slightly higher and more stable frames per second than the PlayStation 5 and both consoles outperforming the Xbox Series S.
Resident Evil Village appears to take full advantage of current-generation hardware, with early players gushing over the horror title's graphics and performance. However, it appears that those who want the best performance possible out of the latest Resident Evil installment will want to play the game on Xbox Series X.
Resident Evil Village will release on May 7 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
