Resident evil 2 remake pc denuvo: Denuvo Gets Brains Eaten, Patched Out Of Resident Evil 2

Resident Evil 4 Remake Will Use Controversial Denuvo DRM

The remake of Resident Evil 4 will come bundled with the anti-piracy software Denuvo, which is considered contentious by many gamers.

It looks as though the upcoming Resident Evil 4 Remake will be using Denuvo DRM software to prevent piracy, which could be a concern for a number of players. As one of the most anticipated horror games of this generation, up there with the remake of Dead Space, fans have been looking forward to a modern take on this classic RE installment. With a release date set for March 24, 2023, there are only a few months to wait until it finally hits digital storefronts, and it’s already built up quite a lot of hype.

As for the DRM software, Denuvo is generally considered to be quite controversial. Although its purpose is to protect the intellectual property of the publisher, the anti-cheat / anti-piracy tool has often been the point of contention for players. Much of the issue stems from the fact that Denuvo has been known to cause performance issues in games. There was even an incident in which a fan managed to fix stuttering in the PC version of Resident Evil Village by circumventing DRM. Such is the controversy that some publishers have removed the offending software from their games post-release.

But now it looks as though Denuvo is not going anywhere. The Steam page for Resident Evil 4 does indeed show that this particular anti-piracy tool will come packaged with the remake. Despite how unpopular it is in the community, huge titles have utilized it in the past, including Dying Light 2, Back 4 Blood, and Deathloop. There’s also been recent news that the Nintendo Switch will start using it soon. However, the fact that it’s widely used in the gaming industry doesn’t change the fact that many fans are not happy about their favorite titles coming with a piece of software that has been blamed for performance issues.

As for the game itself, more footage from the Resident Evil 4 remake was shown off recently, and it’s only serving to whet appetites even more. Similar to both the RE2 and RE3 remakes, this one rebuilds the classic game from scratch using a more modern engine. It also looks a lot darker than the original, which suggests that it’s likely to lean a bit more towards horror as well as action.

Considered by many to be the greatest Resident Evil game of all time, the fourth entry from 2005 helped change the formula that had been established in the previous games. It switched up the camera angles, going for a now iconic over-the-shoulder look, and put more emphasis on action rather than survival. Despite the new direction, it turned out to be one of the best decisions the studio could have made for the franchise at the time.

Resident Evil 4 launches March 24, 2023, for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.

Resident Evil 4 Remake Will ‘Feature’ Denuvo (Despite RE: Village Issues!)

Mike Sanders / 2 months ago

The Resident Evil 4 Remake is set for release on March 24th 2023 and I daresay that it’s already pretty high on a lot of people’s ‘hype’ list. – Based on the trailer, it does look pretty amazing and certainly seems to be giving one of the franchise’s most beloved titles a solid coat of fresh graphical gloss. – It seems, however, that PC gamers are potentially going to face a bit of a challenging proposition as Capcom has confirmed that the Resident Evil 4 Remake will be utilising the more than a little controversial ‘Denuvo‘ anti-piracy software.

Resident Evil 4 Will Feature Denuvo!

For those of you unaware, Denuvo is one of the most prevalent pieces of gaming anti-piracy software around. I’d say popular, but from most perspectives, such a term could only be applied from the developer’s viewpoint. – While piracy is, of course, a crime, and a fairly big problem for developers, the well-documented issue Denuvo has faced over the years is that it can significantly affect the performance of a title.

A factor which was seen quite notably in Resident Evil Village PC’s port. Namely, the game would randomly produce stutters which were subsequently, and categorically, found to be due to the inclusion of Denuvo (since the pirated/cracked version never suffered from it).

We’ll Use it Again Because it Worked SO Well The Last Time!

Given how controversial Denuvo was in Village, it clearly seems more than a little bizarre why Capcom would choose to use it in the Resident Evil 4 Remake. The problem, however, is that in terms of anti-piracy protection, there isn’t really much else around to offer any kind of competition. Well, not beyond exceptionally terse always online DRM systems.

All we can hope is that Capcom, now being aware of the problems it had in Village, will look to make sure that the issue is not repeated in Resident Evil 4. I daresay though that this news isn’t going to be well received by a number of people. Particularly those who, when playing Village, found their powerhouse PC offering performance on par with a potato!
