resident evil 7 biohazard

[The Yancey]

So this dropped today. I'll give it a go later.

Resident Evil 7 takes some big risks with the long-running horror series. But even as some succeed and others fall flat, this new first-person take on the formula wisely remembers that it’s survival-horror adventure — composed of tense exploration and careful item-hunting — and not solely its action that made its early predecessors memorable.

With one of the creepiest single settings since the Spencer Mansion and an enticingly bizarre mystery to unravel, this is the most fun I’ve had with a Resident Evil game in years.

Gotcha, didn't know if you were exclusive to PC, or just preferred it. It is coming out in a year for the Vive and Oculus possibly, hopefully it'll just be an update and you're good to go. Kind of interested to play a game like this in VR.

I've only done the intro while I finish up a game of Civ. This does seem like it would be well cast in VR though. I like that they did this in first person, a dark and creepy first person at that.

Dead already.

Bought yesterday played about 40 mins in one setting, at night haha and that was all I could handle. Will play it again, but man they did a good job on the jumpscares and horror in this game. Nice to see them actually caring about RE again. This is what the new Silent Hill could have been, and yes I am still pissed they canceled it 2 years ago. Del Toro and Norman Reedus uhhh YES lol

I think that was a blessing in disguise, Death Stranding is coming out now, and looks to be a good alternative to Silent Hills.

You are probably right but damn , Silent Hills was the GTA5 of Horror games and now they are just gone.

Konami is being ran with an idiot with a crowbar up their arse. Even with the falling out with Kojima, they could of leased out the IP for Kojima to make Silent Hills still. Do gaming companies even do this? Leasing out would be the best route if you don't want to risk losing money on an IP. There are so many IP's sitting around collecting dust, just do something like a 5-10% royalty fee on all sells, and no harm to you, but you get cash for every sale, this also lets you know that hey this game could make money again, take on the Dev team, and publish the next title.

I'm just watching HarshlyCritical play the game on YouTube. My PC probably isn't good enough, it would probably struggle to even run RE7 on low (when I say struggle I mean 30 FPS and lower). Still rocking a 750ti. I have a 150 game Steam library of relatively new stuff and also play Overwatch on Ultra. Works great for what I play but new AAA stuff coming out I can't really touch..

My friend is upgrading to a 1050ti from a 750ti.

750ti is still holding the top spot on cost per frame. Have you thought of overclocking it some with EVGA precision, or MSI Afterburner? It will probably net you 1-10+ FPS depending on the overclock. I told my friend the RX 470 might of been the better deal with the similar cost, and how much better the RX 470 performs.

I've thought about upgrading to a 1050ti but am worried my CPU would just bottleneck it anyway. Have an AMD FX-4300 quad core @ 3.8ghz. Honestly this was my first gaming PC that I got back in April 2014. It was a pretty good deal on a prebuilt on Amazon and I simply bought the 750ti and put it in to replace the crap GPU they gave.

I've also since bought a really nice Corsair 650 watt Bronze certified PSU to replace the no name crap they put in it which SOMEHOW lasted this whole time. But that's the extent to my PC building knowledge right now. I can put in a GPU and PSU...

Honestly not in the market to drop a grand or more on a better PC right now.

Reread your post, yeah I would still upgrade, there are games that hardly use the CPU that would benefit greatly from a new GPU. The rest is in case you learn to replace the CPU, and Mobo. Watch some videos on Youtube, I was kind of overwhelmed on my first build, but with quality brands like Asus, G Skill, and Gigabyte. I got everything working when I put it together.

Cheapest route would be to upgrade the CPU to an 8 core. Newegg has it for 115, and you get a free Ashes of Singularity Game, valued at 30 dollars.

AMD FX 8300:https://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...D=3938566&SID=

Then you can upgrade with a RX 470 from XFX, and get the new Hitman game for free, valued at 60 bucks, for 175. It comes with a 15 dollar rebate card, which is easy to do if you follow the instructions. Most are like prepaid credit cards. They may take 4/8 weeks to get, though.

XFX RX 470:https://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...D=3938566&SID=


Both are on Newegg.com, and after all the rebates and free games your total cost is 185 compared to if you got the Nvidia GPU 1050 ti for 150+115, and only get Ashes of the Singularity. 265-30= 235 dollars.

Zotac GTX 1050 TI OC:https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ...050_ti_oc.html


The best route imo is to keep the CPU, and upgrade the GPU, RX 470 is still a better card than the GTX 1050 TI in performance, and it comes with a free game where as the GTX 1050 TI doesn't. So after the cost of the game, if you were to buy it, it's 150 vs 115. Now if you already have the new Hitman game, then the point is mute, unless you can sell it to a friend for 50/60 bucks. As I said though the RX 470 performance is better than the 1050 ti.

Continuing on, Ryzen is coming out in March, so see how those CPU's are priced and performs vs the Intels. Upgrade either to Kaby Lake, or Ryzen, depending on the pricing, and performance. That is around when you should get taxes back. If not, just save. You can do a Kaby lake build with Mobo/Ram for around 300-400 dollars now with the recommended I5 for all video games. Hopefully with Ryzen coming out, that build will cost 200-300 dollars.

The second option is if you can build a PC, as it requires you to replace the Mobo as well.
