RE7 on Mac is GREAT, but..

RE7 is great on the Mac, but we are waiting since WWDC for a Red Dead Redemption 2 test

There might be something lost here, a single purchase that covers iPhone, iPad, MacBook, iMac. Granted it's slightly expensive for an older game however if we take a look at the PC / Console world, there arent that many games you can purchase once and play across all devices. Steam Remote play goes a way to deal with this. Not an apple defender and yes the price for the game is high but offering a sense of perspective

The price makes a whole lot of sense actually. It’s not Apple’s strategy but Capcom’s strategy. They set the price and even decide where to sell it so it’s also Capcom’s choice to not put it on Steam. The reason is of course they want their money back for porting the game. To compare the price with the old PC release is incorrect. This is a new port that cost them money to make. The price also includes iOS port which is something you don't get on Steam. The reason it’s cheap on Steam is because it was released 7 years ago and they have earned back their costs for making the PC port. If they put it on Steam they would be giving away the Mac port for free to all those who have the PC port and earn a lot less so it’s a financial choice. Apple’s software marketing manager Leland Martin have said ”We’re seeing titles come to both Steam and the Mac App Store, and we’re seeing games come to the Mac via Steam exclusively. It’s really up to the developer’s choice, and we help them whichever decision they make.” So it’s the developers’ decision, not Apple’s. This port is for Mac users/gamers. If you already have a PC you wouldn’t buy this anyway.

It’s not Apple pricing it’s capcom price they probably price that way cause they had to port it porting cost money

The Nintendo Switch version of RE7 is 40 euro right now. A cloud game version. You get RE7 for all Apple platforms, on sale at launch for 19.99, and that's bad?

I wouldn't suggest installing Resident Evil 7 on your Macs, as you'll have lifelong battery problems due to the terrible overheating of the Mac. I had to stay in the game for 30 minutes for the Mac's temperature to heat up to 100 degrees, and in addition get the battery health dropped to 97 percent from 100.

My guess they're working on a library of games which will be offered in subscription form at a later stage.

"Your hair is EVERYWHERE, screaming infidelities"

I also noticed metalfx introduces scattered dots on texture/lightning details in this game, not looking great

i'm playing this in m1 air 8gb at max resolution(2560 x 1600), max settings, medium shadow only, METAL FX in performance most stable 60fps. Looks better than 1080p with quality for me

I think the port is really great and well optimised. I think the price is not bad ether. the expansion pack however I do think is to much. A Well done port in my opinion deserves to be payed for.

Yeah I’m not paying $20 for a 7-year old game. On my base M1 Pro I saw checkerboarding on outdoor foliage and Mia’s hair glitching early on. At up to 1330p with MetalFX Quality and very high graphics settings I got a pretty consistent 120fps. Surprisingly I got close to that natively too.

The price is unimportant, I tend to play games for decades. Three Diablos, played from the beginning on the PC to the Mac. Ended when they fell to Microsoft.

I have given up on mac gaming. Besides the prices for the games I feel like the battery drains too fast on my m2 pro 16” mbp when gaming (only tried re4 remake). Recently picked up a steam deck oled and it may not look as good as the screen on the mac but it’s perfectly fine. Downside is I’ve gone a little crazy with the ongoing summer sale and have too many games to play that I can’t choose which one to start. Oh and I have to carry one extra gadget, I really wanted gaming on the mac to work well for this reason.

Hey, can you make a video about lossless scaling? A program on steam that implements things like fsr 3.1 in any game, how does that performs on a Mac?

better get used to the pricing. apple is doing the Nintendo way with pricing and it will not change in the future.

Yo Andrew. The shadows make the game have the big frame dips. When shadows are on very high. It will cause the big frame dips. And when at high, the frame dips are less big by a-lot but still there

Doesn’t run this well on my m1 MBA 😢

40 bucks for a 7 years old port :D

Can you please try to get Once Human running on Mac? It’s supposed to release on ios/iPadOS September 24th. But the global release was today July 9th. All I want is to play it on my M1 pro.
