Official description of the game
Professional soldier Chris Redfield, well known to players from the previous parts of Resident Evil, does not leave hope to wipe out all traces of the activities of an organization that has been developing biological weapons for several decades. So far, all research on creating an army of invulnerable monsters has ended in failure, but mad scientists do not lose optimism and continue to conduct cruel experiments on living people. In search of the truth, the protagonist goes to a small African settlement and discovers hundreds of people affected by another experimental virus. The poor creatures have changed not only externally, but also internally: pursued by severe hunger, they attack everything that moves. At the same time, the virus turned the sick into ideal killers, making their bodies much stronger and more resilient.
Game features: • Mind and feelings. Extremely dangerous and aggressive opponents: their intelligence and reaction speed have increased significantly, in addition, they have learned to find a common language with their own kind and are able to unite in groups. • Power and precision. An impressive combat arsenal of heroes: knives, pistols, machine guns, sniper rifles and much more. • Dream and reality. State-of-the-art graphic effects, an unprecedented level of detail, a few know-hows in handling lighting and shadows. • Co-op for two participants with support for voice chat.
Overview: Playability
The game has a pretty nice interface and good gameplay videos. It's been a long time since the games of the Resident Evil series have visited personal computers, for a very long time. It can be seen so long ago that the authors forgot what it is to play games on a PC. The sensitivity of the mouse is too high and you need to set it to the minimum level before starting the game. The view is very uncomfortable - it is located almost above the level of the character's shoulder, which is why the view is very limited and it is very difficult to aim. The levels seem to be slightly compressed due to which the game world is associated with some stiffness.
Smarter ghouls are surprising. They most likely look like delitant butchers who draw circles around you with cold weapons thrown over their heads, it seems that they want to cut off the tidbit and languish in conjectures - what would they open up?
Although the game has all the above disadvantages, the game will find its fans. But to get the full pleasure of the game, you need a console manipulator.
Review: Game Graphics
Take a quick look at the gaming industry and we won't see a trend towards better gaming graphics. Everything pisishnik gets from the consoles, whose resource has long been exhausted. The game implemented support for DX10. but there is no difference in graphics between DX10 and DX9, so don't flatter yourself about it. Detailing of the main characters came out at a decent level, minor ones at a satisfactory level. The environment looks somehow grayish and cartoony - a little naive.
Game video made with the game engine looks more attractive, probably due to the application of some visual improvements. Resident Evil 5 for PC supports 3D Vision, however, the prevalence of special 3D glasses is negligible, and the use of ordinary red-green stereo glasses as an alternative to them will only lead to a catastrophic deterioration in vision.
Review: Game resource intensive
As for performance, it is at an acceptable level. The developers did not disappoint, which in principle is not surprising, there is nothing special to slow down.
Testing was carried out by the built-in benchmark at high quality settings in DirectX10 mode. Anti-aliasing is set at 8X, since Radeon cards do not have support for large anti-aliasing settings. The built-in benchmark in Resident Evil 5 captures the average number of frames in dynamic mode when passing four different tests
All video cards were tested at maximum graphics quality. We tested video cards of the lower price segment at a resolution of 1024x768, we tested video cards of the middle price range at a resolution of 1280x1024, and video cards of the upper price range were tested at a resolution of 1680x1050.
Testing at maximum Low End quality settings at a resolution of 1024x768
Only with video cards of the GeForce 9500 level and higher will it be possible to play comfortably at maximum settings at this resolution. Testing at maximum quality settings Midle End at a resolution of 1280x1024
The midrange demonstrates excellent performance
Testing at maximum High End quality settings at a resolution of 1680x1050
The game, as we emphasized, is quite friendly to gaming hardware, so quite legitimate very high results are visible here. Since the game is sharpened for Nvidia video cards. only ATI's new flagship manages to take the lead. Conclusion : PC gamers did not get what they expected for so long, the game has a pronounced console focus. Hardware requirements are very democratic. We can only recommend it to fans of the genre. 28% of the tested video cards remained outsiders, while the rest showed themselves on the good side.
