You have to be on Windows 10 1607 for HDR support on PC. I also don't think the HDMI version on the GTX 980 supports the metadata stream for HDR.from what ive found so far, it doesnt look like hdr is actually supported or enabled in the demo. i spent forever looking through and playing with settings, both on my tv and the game. no combination got hdr to properly kick in.
nothing RE about it to me.
Which color space should be used - sRGB or BT.709? Is there any way to tell if it's working or not?
bt.709. and i havnt gotten it working yet, but if its like the ps4 version, youll know when its working. a big hdr calibration screen pops up when you first start the demo, before you even get to the options menu.
^Oh I agree, RE hasn't been RE for a looong time. I'd say even 4 wasn't that great tbh. RE 4 starts off great and then just turns into a very bad, generic action game by the end of it. Revelations was was a turn in the right direction for me (although still to actiony, at times) but got tired of all the swimming crap near the end of it. Revelations 2 is also somewhat good but again get tired of having to deal with 2 characters all the time.
I just picked up a copy of Code: Veronica X for PS2 over the weekend at 8-bit Hall of Fame to fill out my collection of the main series games and also because I actually have never played it before.Well to be fair you could play with essentially 4 characters in Revelations 2 and they all had interesting abilities that varied the tension and action. And I agree with you about RE4. Always confused me how so many people can say it's the best when personally my favorite RE of all time is Code Veronica and to me was the last true RE.
I'm actually playing 5 on the bone right now. While the story isn't as rich or cohesive, I am actually enjoying it a lot more than originally. It has some nice set pieces and good boss fights, and the controls are a lot tighter than 4. 4 is still the better game, but I don't see it as much of a dumbing down anymore. More of a refinement that is better in some ways and worse in others.I didn't mind 5, but it was essentially a lesser version of #4 with a MP option. With 6, I'm not even 100% sure what went wrong. The multiple stories, annoying forced multiplayer, weird mechanics, etc. just kept it from being fun. It seemed okay on the surface, but I just didn't enjoy it at all.
Based upon the demo of 7, it feels like a complete reboot much in the way 4 was. I'll just have to hope that the rest of the game outside the demo doesn't fall flat. I bet this one is super divisive, though.

Still looking forward to another gameplay reboot with 7. Excited to see how the whole game plays out.
Game is out on the 23rd of Jan.. I haven't played a RE game in years I was playing The Evil Within though I'm on ch. 9 or so with that game.
I prefer the tank controls, too. I tried the "modern" controls in RE HD for a few minutes and it didn't make any sense to me, especially with the fixed camera angles. With the tank controls I know that pressing up will always make my character run forward. As far as I know all the top speed runners use tank controls, too, even though "modern" allows you to turn faster.Resident Evil is one of my favorite franchises of all time and I am one of those weirdos that prefers the tank controls and didn't really like Resident Evil 4 (Code Veronica is my favorite RE game of all time). I didn't like 5 either, but surprisingly I enjoyed 6. I think it was just mindless fun and was different and I enjoyed it on it's own merits and didn't even really think of it much as "I'm playing a Resident Evil game," which to me really died after Code Veronica. The closest revivals to the original formulas with new gameplay are the Revelations games which I thought were the best RE games since Code Veronica. Also, a lesser known title in the series which was in-fact the first Resident Evil title to do the over-the-shoulder gameplay was Resident Evil Dead Aim. It was a light-gun compatible game so movement is in the 3rd person view, and then when you aim your gun it switches to first person with a moving cross-hair across the screen (hence the light-gun). I never played it with the light gun, but I did play it with the controller and it was perfectly fine and still felt very Resident Evil-like and takes place on a cruise ship.
Anyway, I too am excited for 7 and have it pre-ordered. The pre-reviews I have read are very intriguing, but I can only hope that there are tie-ins to the RE universe and doesn't feel completely foreign. In the demo, one of the endings has you go up into the attic to answer a phone call and you talk to a woman on the phone (who some people speculate is Ada Wong) and then you find a photo on the table that has a picture of a side of a helicopter with the Umbrella logo on it. So, I am hoping there is some of that where I get the sense and feel that the Umbrella Corporation is behind what's going on here and that there are perhaps mentions and/or cameos of previous people in the franchise.

CD Keys price is nice at 31.00 but I think I rather pick up For Honor.
