I hope there are improvements on the PS5 as well it's where i'm playing. I really think this game is outstanding and infinitely replayable i mean it's close to a masterpiece as you can get but... i kinda despise it at the same time and the reason for that is that goddamn awful traversal stuttering ! I feel like i'm the only person on the planet right now that has an issue with this, i've seen no one talk about this or even mention it and i watched a lot of reviews and people talk about this game. It completely ruins the game experience for me and it's the absolute worst in the whole castle section. Ughh what a goddamn shame.

Maybe you got a super dusty PS5 or something and it’s running hot because of that ? as I have had no issues like that at all or ever heard of anyone having issues like that.
I get my ducts cleaned every year or else my house will be dusty as F.
Just randomly guessing but never heard of it .

Babadook7520d ago

Stuttering eh? That sucks. I’m assuming you are using the built in SSD? Not an aftermarket expansion?

Levii_92520d ago

Yes ! You think that’s what causing the stuttering ? Should i upgrade ? Which one should i get ?

Babadook7520d ago (Edited 520d ago )

Not really. The stock drive should work perfectly. But if the stutter is because of a faulty internal drive you should contact Sony for a repair.

In NA their customer service is…

1 (800) 345-7669

If warranty has passed, personally I’d try adding a good expansion. You can get a 1 TB for $100 or so (USD). Something like a Crucial P5 plus 3d NAND is what I’d go for.

KwietStorm_BLM520d ago

What exactly do you mean by traversal stuttering? I didn't have any technical issue that sounds like that.

Levii_92520d ago

They are frame time spikes i think that's another name for it, it happens when you run around the enviroment and the game constantly loads new areas because there is no load times between areas it's all seamless. Think of Nier Automata on the Ps4 if you played it there and how awful traversing the world was with all those frame spikes, ofc in RE4R it's not that extreme and horrible but it can be very frequent and annoying especially the whole castle section.

KwietStorm_BLM520d ago

Like frame pacing inconsistency? Like in Bloodborne? I haven't seen anything like that on my playthroughs. Maybe it's the drive you're using. Have you tried rebuilding your database?

Levii_92520d ago

No it’s not frame pacing that’s a whole different thing but thanks for the tip i’ll try doing that and also i bought the game from the PS Store i will also try deleting it and redownload and reinstall it.

KwietStorm_BLM519d ago

When I asked about the drive I meant SSD, unless you're using the stock drive. I don't know that it makes a difference with this particular issue but I use the Western Digital SN850X.

Resident Evil 4 (PS2) Retro Review – The Evolution Of Survival Horror

Matt Evans said: Resident Evil 4 marked a significant departure from the traditional survival horror gameplay of the previous entries in the series. With a fresh perspective (both story-wise and camera-wise), it revitalised the franchise and became one of the most influential games of its generation, and arguably still the best in the series. The PlayStation 2 version, released in October 2005.

This hints at continued support for the VR versions of Resident Evil.

Nerdmaster82d ago

And Capcom, being Capcom, chooses to keep the VR versions limited to certain headsets in a niche that is already small.

Babadook782d ago (Edited 82d ago )

They wouldn’t work well on Quest. Not the PlayStation versions at least. Also Sony seems to have helped fund these.

StoriedGamer82d ago

... Maybe not quest standalone due to power limitations, but you do know that all of the modern resident evil games including 2 and 3 remake (which dont have even have official VR versions) are available on PC and are arguably better in almost every way...

The porting process to VR with VR capable engines is so incredibly easy that the cost is negligible really. What's worse is having played the games on psvr and psvr2, the developers did a pretty shoddy job whereas the PC versions are better as the community tackled a lot of the issues in a matter of a few weeks...

Babadook782d ago (Edited 82d ago )

@above.

This is simply not true. Compare RE8 praydog vs the native port to psvr2. The native port is an amazing experience. You’d never want to actually play the pc mod. It’s no where near as good. The performance is not good and is nauseating.

StoriedGamer81d ago

... In what ways is it nowhere near as good? On a decent system it runs incredibly well and even better if you have something good, pushing it way beyond what you get on the psvr2. I've literally played both, and on PC it not only looks better, but runs much better overall on pc. Additionally, you get even more games than the 3 official games over both psvr and psvr2 offered by Capcom (4, 7 which is only psvr compatible, and 8).

Babadook781d ago (Edited 81d ago )

@above

It doesn't actually run better on the PC though. I've heard from many PC gamers who will flat out disagree with you. I've seen top end Nvidia cards drop to below 60 fps (no reprojection either). Hopefully you know the effect that Foveated Rendering has on VR performance.

How far did you make it in the story? If you really claim that the PC can compete on performance show me a professional reviewer who claims that who actually tested a large portion of the game. On top of the performance not being in PCs favour you've got a completely inferior level of interactivity.

Pretty sure it's because they were very well paid to do so in the past I'm sure there's a deal going because Sony sure isn't in a rush to produce games for their own headset
Plus the re games are fantastic in VR

talocaca82d ago

RE4 is absolutely stellar on PSVR2.

Hoping their next title supports it too 👏👏👏

Babadook782d ago (Edited 82d ago )

Indeed. One of the guys seemed to be a big fan of VR.

And this bit pretty confirms there're plans for more RE VR projects.

Once they wrapped up the project, they realized VR was well-suited to the franchise. While they didn’t discuss specifics, Kumazawa says they “plan to undertake more challenges in the future.”

Profchaos81d ago

Was amazing I thought re8 was also just as good to.

SmortBoie81d ago

I'd give my left nipple for an official RE2R VR mode. Praydogs was good but the real deal would be incredible.
Shame they don't seem to have any interest going back to these releases. RE7VR even already exists just tweak it and pop it on PSVR2. Nnngggg.

sammichosaurus80d ago

Gotta get some VR experience soon.
