Capcom not only brings us the final September release date for Resident Evil 5 on the PC, but a benchmark program to see if we're better off buying a console instead.

There are two different benchmark tests. (Fixed and Variable) The Fixed test is from the early part of the game (one of the demo maps) in the village (?) where the dude is standing on a raised platform with a megaphone. The camera switches between megaphone man and the crowd on the ground.

The Variable benchmark is gameplay footage. I ran both benchmark tests three times and each time I got a slightly better score. Each time I ran the Variable benchmark test, the gameplay footage was slightly different. Also, the gameplay footage was slightly different from the console versions. It'll be interesting to see if the PC version is actually different.

One more thing, I really hope the PC version looks like the footage I saw in the benchmark tests. My first thoughts when the benchmark tests were running was ... WOW !!!

Resident Evil 5 Review


The outbreak of Umbrella's virus has finally hit the PC. Should you get infected?

by Jeff Haynes
September 10, 2009



Six months ago, Capcom returned to its survival horror roots by unleashing Resident Evil 5, the latest installment of its acclaimed franchise, on consoles. Reuniting some of the classic characters while at the same time taking advantage of features from the previous title in the series, RE5 was an evolution of the genre. The addition of co-op further added to the fast paced action, as you had a hand to fend off the infected denizens of Kijuju. However, up till now, only console players could enjoy fighting the hordes; fortunately, that's about to change. Resident Evil 5 has arrived on PCs, and while the release on computers isn't a director's cut, packing tons of additional content, the few new bells and whistles included definitely make it a solid improvement over the console versions, and arguably the best version of the game that's been released.

Yesterday, we learned about the cast swap that would take place in Resident Evil 5 Alternative Edition's second downloadable episode, Desperate Escape.
