With the new generation consoles starting to take their place on the shelves, we were waiting for the next generation patch for big productions. Games like GTA 5, Cyberpunk 2077 and Elden Ring to date new generation patch presented. Capcom, which we know with the Resident Evil series, also gave the good news for updates, but the update for Resident Evil 7 did not give the expected.
Resident Evil 7 did not give what was expected with the next generation console patch
Fans of the series were delighted when Capcom announced that it would release a new generation patch for Resident Evil games. Studios, which have released a new generation patch to date, have made significant graphic changes in their games. Some of them were not limited to this, but also contributed to the gameplay. However, when we look at the PS5 and Xbox Series update released for Resident Evil 7 today, it is possible to say ‘it would have been if it hadn’t come’.
With the published update, the problem of some items not being displayed in users connecting to RE.NET has been resolved. This is the only content of the update for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles. Since Capcom announced this update as a graphics improvement months ago, we see that an almost empty patch has arrived.
Other Resident Evil games are also expected to receive a new generation patch. Since this is the case for Resident Evil 7, we cannot expect more in the other games of the series. It seems that fans will lower their expectations and hope only that the bugs in the next generation are fixed.
Resident Evil 7 was one of the most successful games in the series and reached high sales figures. The next Resident Evil 2 Remake was one of the things that increased the quality of the series. Although the graphic quality of these games is sufficient, there are players who want to see more. Although this expectation does not seem to come true at the moment, it should be added that even the current state of the games is of good quality.
