Resident Evil Village Goes All the Way with PS5 Feature Support

Oh my! 3D audio in a horror FPS shooter?

PSVR support?

@OneManDroid No word yet.

It seems dualsense haptic feature and 3D audio is the real deal, if it's easy to implement and give the players real immersion I'm sure most devs will love to support it

I’m scared already

Was hoping you were going to announce a release date then 😂

Goodness knows what freaky things they will do with haptic feedback. Almost a good thing if it doesn't have vr support as the 2 combined would be horrifying

@OneManDroid I'm holding out for this too, but we need to remember that if they did implement it, then you'd only be able to use it with the PS4 version. So on the PS5, you'd have to use it via backwards compatibility. Which is a bit of a shame tbh

@wiiware I've seen Sony is providing 3rd party Devs with a software package that lets them take existing in-game sound effects and convert them automatically into equivalent haptic outputs on the Dualsense - they're both just kinds of vibration after all. Hopefully that makes it super easy for Devs to add in high quality haptics and the feature doesn't get abandoned

I am interested to hear how 3D audio for Sony's platform compares to Dolby Atmos/DTS:X (using headphones).

I am very happy that both consoles are putting 3D Audio to the forefront. Though, I am partial to Xbox since it is more versatile in that one can do 3D Audio on both a high-end sound system and headphones.

I'm honestly struggling to get excited about "haptic feedback" and "3d audio" and cant really see how much of a difference they'll make (controllers have had a rumble feature built in for a good long while now) let alone be a "game changer" that some people are hyping them up to be. Hopefully my opinion will change once I've actually used the new controller in a game but it's good at least to see that 3rd party devs are supporting it.

@Only1PJA This is so much more than just the standard rumble feature. Haven't you been reading everyone's impressions?

@NeuralDeclan That's super convenient, I also heard that you can actually feels the haptic using spotify music on pc, so it must be super easy for devs to sync haptic to sound. I'm more hyped for the ssd and haptic (plus integrated hints) compared to others features now.

@LiamCroft he only read a few headlines without any deep dives and I think it is his nature to be pessimistic with everything.

@JapaneseSonic Atmos for Headphones and DTS:X for Headphones work with any headset and have for a while now - no high-end needed.

Sadly you need to be pay $15 for the Atmos for Headphones decoder or $20 for the DTS:X for Headphones decoder.

Windows Sonic is free and has been around for a while, I just don't find it to be as accurate as Atmos or DTS:X on games.

Atmos for Headphones is required if you want to use Atmos for things like Disney+, Netflix, and in Xbox One X case 4K Blu-ray that use Atmos while wearing headphones.

Atmos and DTS:X for surround sound is free on Xbox. It's only the headphones decoder that costs money.

But, yes, you would need a higher end sound system to support Atmos and DTS:X via home theater systems.

Though, that does make me curious is Windows Sonic will be improved on Series X for the headphones crowd.

@LiamCroft well, they did say that VR only works with PS4 versions of games, so unless this game is also coming to PS4, VR support is not happening.

@talocaca
Capcom is on record as saying that they may bring RE VIII to the PS4/Xbox One, but there is no word on whether that will happen yet...and also no word on if the PS4 version would support PSVR.

@Only1PJA
With graphical increases becoming more and more incremental, almost to the point that they aren't noticeable, there are a lot of gaming sites calling the DualSense the actual next generation game changer.

@LiamCroft honestly no - I'm not getting a PS5 at launch (I was rather asleep when the email came through from Game in the middle of the night) so I've not been paying too much attention to the ins and outs of everything at this stage - I know enough to know I'll be getting a PS5 when stocks (& funds) are more readily available.

@lacerz I hope it is a game changer (I just dont see how at this point) and will experience it and decide for myself when I get a PS5 next year

@Dr-M I'm guessing I am the "he" you reference - do I know you? Do you know me? How do you know what I have or have not read or watched?? A little presumptuous of you to make a judgment about my nature from one comment. I did reference the fact that I hope my opinion will change upon actually using one for myself and that I found it good that 3rd party developers are making use of the feature. I may be skeptical at this stage but that doesn't mean I'm pessimistic by nature and even if I were pessimistic about this particular item that certainly doesn't mean I am "pessimistic about everything"

I cant wait for this!! Re7 was easily one of the best horror games ive ever played... EVER (despite the last 3rd of the game going down hill fast)

@LemonHaze What?

@LiamCroft I think they mean 5K support =0p

@LemonHaze It doesn't. The overall sentence is referring to PS5 with an off-hand comment about PS4.

@Rob_230 Im kinda thinking what kind of weird stuff the Japanese will do with it.😆

Most big games have supported Atmos for some.time so.i expect 3D audio to have at least the same level of support. And if the controller API's are simple it's likely they will get good support. Just how many controller features are used beyond triggers we'll still have to see

Gonna gave to gets loads of new pairs of underpants in for this. Soiled my pants so many times playing resi 7.

I'm already pooing my pants 😭

@OneManDroid
PSVR has been confirmed to work only with PS4 games via backwards compatibility. No PS5 games, or PS5 versions of games, will use PSVR. For example, Hitman 3 players will need the PS4 version of the game if they want to play it in VR.

It may be that VR compatibility is added to the PS5 versions once PSVR2 comes out, but don't hold your breath.

@OneManDroid Given that PSVR won't be supported for PS5 games and they aren't even sure if this game can run on PS4 yet, I'd say that it won't be getting any PSVR sadly.

One of the biggest disappointments for PS5 is that this won't have VR support. 7 was incredible on VR and I was hoping this would continue with Village. Maybe whenever PSVR2 comes out, I guess...

@LiamCroft ..... You do know that the game was cancelled for the ps4 and xbox one months ago right?

I’m looking forward to this game big time

Anyone know if their 3d audio will support backwards compatible games? Id replay re2 remake again if they did.

@JRRR92 Except it wasn't, that was a rumor. Capcom stated that they would "try" to see if they could get it supported current gen systems.

@Only1PJA
I personally think 3D audio is something to be very excited about. You need to be wearing headphones I presume. Noise's coming from all directions, scare the life out of you playing a game like RE village. The haptic triggers will hopefully bring it to the next level. The PS5 must be Sony's most innovative console ever.

No PSVR no deal. I can't go back after RE7.

@OneManDroid No ps5 game will have PSVR support. Only PS4 VR titles as of now.

@Jeremiah_Thor ditto... I'll wait and see if they premiere it with PSVR2 in a few years!
