Played the short demo that is available now for RE8 on PS5 and it was nice, I thought spending a half hour might be too much, but before I knew it, it was over and I didn't really explore a whole ton of the village section or do a lot. Games looks gorgeous on PS5 of course, the detail this game has is insane. It's mostly the same thing as RE7, just with a little more involvement to the inventory and they added some new gameplay elements, such as bags of flour left around that stun enemies for a short bit of time, barricades for defending a location, and the enemies are gonna be a good challenge. I didn't get too much story stuff, I stopped playing before they introduced more story as I didn't want to spoil that for myself.
I tried turning off ray tracing to see if that changed anything, because that usually drops performance, but I didn't see a notable difference between them either way.
I'll probably check out the castle section demo next week and then skip the longer demo available for all systems later on as I'll have had my fill.
