Resident Evil 5 PC Gets Official Release Date, Downloadable Benchmark Demo
by Chris Faylor, Jul 16, 2009 8:12am PDTThe PC edition of zombastic action game Resident Evil 5 will arrive in North America on September 14 and Europe on September 18, developer Capcom announced today.
Enhancements over the previous Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 editions include support for Nvidia's GeForce 3D Vision hardware, higher resolutions, new costumes and a "new and improved mercenaries mode with three times as many enemies."
If you're wondering about system performance, you can find a "Benchmark Version" of Resident Evil 5 on FileShack. The demo runs through several non-interactive cinematics, complete with stereoscopic visuals if you have the hardware.
According to Capcom, RE5's use of Nvidia's stereoscopic 3D technology marks "an industry first" as the effects are utilized "in all of [RE5's] cut scenes," not just gameplay.

Looks great, runs extremely well. Had the framerate capped at 60 with vsync on for the gameplay benchmark. At full details, 4xAA, 1680x1050 it dropped down to 55 maybe once or twice when there were explosions.
Compared to the PS3 version which ran at 30 FPS and dropped often to less at 720p ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8nzv31uHLY ) this is ridiculous.
Looks to be another good port directly from Capcom. Hope it's 35$ on Steam like Street Fighter 4 was!

However for RE5, don't make an internet connection necessary for single player. I thought it was ridiculous that you couldn't save your single player game progress for SF4 unless you were connected to the internet. The game took several gigabytes of my HD but couldn't allocate 1mb for save files.
