Capcom's new patches for Resident Evil 2 Remake, its sequel and Resident Evil 7 received generally favourable reviews from the DF staff in their console iterations. However, Capcom's approach to PC is lacklustre and disappointing. Alex takes a look at the most demanding of the three games - Resident Evil 2 Remake - and comes away shocked and disappointed by an upgrade that, for the most part, is anything but. Why is Capcom treating PC gamers like second-class citizens? If you're not using RT or your GPU doesn't support RT - ie the situation for most users - this is actually a substantial downgrade.

UPDATE: The video incorrectly states at 00:05:07 that you are stuck with SSAO only. To unlock the other AO options you need to ensure the RT switch is set to off, after which the other options will show up.
