Rumor: Resident Evil 8 Village's PS5 Version "A Hurdle" For Development, PS4/XB1 May Still Be On - Rely on Horror

The development of Capcom's Resident Evil 8 is reportedly hitting some development hurdles based on next-gen hardware, with possible implications

www.relyonhorror.com

Veteran insider and “leaker” for the Resident Evil series with a nearly impeccable track record, DuskGolem (aka AestheticGamer), has recently tweeted a series of updates about the development of Resident Evil 8 and it’s not exactly good news.

He states that even after the PS4 and Xbox One versions have been shelved to help optimize and possibly speed up the development of the game by focusing on current-gen hardware, which has led to some strides and progress in many key areas of the development, there’s one version, in particular, that’s proving difficult to get working on-par with the other versions being developed. He reports that the PS5 version of the game is struggling to keep up with several experimental upgrades and improvements they’ve tried to implement recently, even while these features have worked perfectly on the Xbox Series X and PC versions of the game.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

The PS5 version of RE8 could be literally unplayable, turn you into a pedophile and cause cancer

and i still wouldn't believe a word that this dickhead says.

 

[sircaw]

Seriously can we close this fucking thread

Stop with the bullshit fud plz.

This dusk golem guy has already been proven to be a fucking liar, shut it down,

 

[GHG]

How are people still taking this guy seriously.

It's like as he becomes more and more irrelevant he starts making up more and more outlandish claims.

 

[Insane Metal]

Lol here we go again.

 

[Dick Jones]

I was thinking maybe, just maybe give the report a chance. Source is Dusk Golem...

 

[BlueXImpulse]

FUD Golem is wrong even before he says a word.

 

[kretos]

dusk golem lol

 

[ghairat]

Didn’t DuskGolem admit that the BS rumors which he spread about PS5 was a lie? He is on my blacklist

 

[Cyber_hunter026]

Seriously this liar can Sod off.

 

[Nikana]

 

[Rolla]

Me every time I see Dusk Golem as a source for a thread.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

Dusk Golem is a secret weapon of mass destruction.

If you sat him and Pacter on opposite sides of a table and asked them to make a prediction, the resulting wrongness would cause an implosion of world-ending proportions.

 

[Rean no Kiseki]

Again with this BS SMH.

Capcom has had an excellent relationship with PlayStation since 2012, so this sounds like FUD to me.

At least Pacter is just useless not malicious like this fucking reeetard

 

[Wandering Leopard]

How is it news that a game that's still in development has:

• bugs
• frame rate dips
• unoptimised code

Additionally, if it's such a major concern, Capcom could easily have shown 'PC footage emulating PS5' like SE did with Final Fantasy XVI.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Ah yes Dusk Golem. That Silent Hill reveal the other day at the PS5 event was so awesome.

 

[M1chl]

God damn, he has stamina as PS warriors in here.

 

[Codswallop_]

Yikes, doesn't sound good!

 

[TonyK]

I am a PC gamer, and it's funny to me when people speaks about any game working better on PC as if a PC was a closed platform. So game has problem in PS5 but runs fine in PC... what PC? Any PC? Or are we speaking about PCs more powerful that next gen consoles. The PCs that only, what, a 5% of PC players have?

 

[namekuseijin]

guessing that VR mode some delusional folks are waiting for will be a bit blurry

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Seriously this liar can Sod off.

What movie is this from? Is that Dark City?

 

[Entroyp]

I actually think there’s some truth to this, however it’s waaay blown out of proportions (for obvious reasons) and the game will be fine by release.

 

[Cyber_hunter026]

What movie is this from? Is that Dark City?

Yup

 

[Night.Ninja]

Wasn't he right about the recent PS5 recent

 

[Jtibh]

I believe him.

Keep up the good work.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

my dad works at nintendo lemme tell you how the switch 2 prototype looks.

That was my thought too. If PS5 is getting stretched then the minimum specs for PC will have to be pretty high.

Also, it sounds pretty suspect that they don't know where the bottlenecks are, profiling tools are pretty advanced so tracking down where stalls and choke-points are shouldn't be an issue.

 

[Elginer]

So lemme get this shit right, it will work on a series s but not a PS5? I don’t believe it.

 

[OrionNebula]

I can see a percentage of this being right on the dot, still

But the amount of it is really up to you, though

 

[DonF]

Please ban any mention of this dude.

 

[Werewolfgrandma]

Googled and can't find anything saying what you guys are saying. Link?

 

[bender]

Please ban any mention of this dude.

A million times this.

 

[Kev Kev]

Please ban any mention of this dude.

A million times this.

annnnnnnnnd weve gone full resetera

Fuck off fake insiders, silent hill blah blah, he is full of shit.

What next, lets make a thread about what timedog says, or even wise odium.

FUD central.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

Just release the game on PS5 with either 1440p res or 4K Checkboard. What's the issue (assuming that all this bull crap is true)?

 

[Darkmakaimura]

annnnnnnnnd weve gone full resetera

Dusk had sex with my wife's boyfriend's boyfriend's cousin. He's not getting off that easy.

 

[FunkMiller]

Another one for the mods to lock...

 

[Kerlurk]

Dusk Golem, is the same guy who admitted to making bad stuff up about the PS5 cause he wanted to even the narrative when the XSX had some bad news.



Blows my mind, that anyone would post anything he has to say after that.

There is no way to substantiate anything he is saying on these latest claims, never mind that programming has so many variables involved that could account for problems, and does not mean that such problems cannot be resolved.

 

[ne1butu]

Jesus Christ they really don’t give up do they?

 

[MasterCornholio]

Wasn't he right about the recent PS5 recent

Recent price announcement?

No he was wrong about that. Especially the part where he said that Microsoft would undercut the PS5 with the XSX.

 

[bender]

annnnnnnnnd weve gone full resetera

He's a proven attention whore that has made shit up for clicks, but lets create threads every other day to spread his FUD. And speaking of ResetEra, we sure do recycle a lot of their content here as "news".

 

[Alan Silvestro]

I am not interested in RE8, but tell me more about Silent Hill PS5!!!

 

[Journey]

RUMOR:

Call of Duty Ghosts developers having trouble with Xbox One version

RUMOR:


Resident Evil Village developers having trouble with the PS5 version:

 

[Hosam6xavi]

Everything he said about monster hunter was right

I see no reason to doubt him

 

[EverydayBeast]

PS5 is built for games like Resident Evil they’re sounding the alarms too early
