Game of the year contender in the palm of your hands.

Snapdragon was never better than Apple chips until 2022, where Qualcomm at last bested Apple in GPU performance and still beats it to this day. Though CPU performance wise, Apple still a king.

    Anonymous, 01 Jan 2024I don't understand why iPhone game developers are limi... moreIt's completely new game which came out in 2023. Resident evil 4 remake has nothing to do with original RE4 version besides same story and settings, game uses latest RE engine and it is 2023 game not a port of 2005 game.

      Apple single handedly destroyed entire Android gaming ecosystem with single game 😆 truly a awe inspiring achievement, who could have thought, Apple will be the only place to go for mobile gaming :)

        Mobile games.. enough said.
        No matter how powerful the smartphones will become there will always be the greed of the mobile game developers that will push back any console like games on smartphones (and I am not talking only about graphics here).

          Unplayable quality

            See: all the sales of handheld PCs and gaming decks now.

              Looking further for GTA VI And V On Mobile phone...

                "This is the ideal solution and exactly what I had asked for in my Resident Evil Village review. While it limits scalability for future devices, it does ensure players today will get an optimized experience out of the box for their devices and won't have to tinker around endlessly in the menus to get things working properly, which was an issue with Village."

                No its not ideal. Ideal would be giving you these existing simple settings along with detailed settings menu with sufficient warnings before you toggle them. But most dont care anyway, as evidenced by your 'ideal' solution proclamation. And it wont limit scalability unless the developers are extremely lazy, they will just adjust the game resolution and a few other settings to make it run well on future devices, like many games already do.

                  Also try Genshin Impact at highest graphics, 120 FPS, Extreme Motion Blur. This is also incredible graphical performance.

                    you have to suffer, 01 Jan 2024it's more like on par with playstation 3 rather than 4... moreRE4 remake has not release to old ps3 ver. (7th gen console ). Dont be redicu...
                    Most prabably this iphone15 pro version will close to based xb1/ps4 version. its has 2.1 Tflop and comparable to based ps4.
                    The Snapdr8G3 gpu will be far beyond from that and for gpu performance . Snapdragon always better than apple A chip.at least on paper tech spec.

                      Or else who plays these games on mobile with such small screens?
                      If anyone want to enjoy games they need big screens whether it is TV or desktop or VR or anything else.
                      In mobile they can feel it, the pain after sometime of playing.

                        Naaahh this is only for iPhones with SoC A17, last year's iPhones can't play? Lolllll You even need the latest iOS to play this... this is why buying Android is better.

                          Yes, apple is very good in making the most of their 8gb RAMs, but for such a game like this they gotta give at least 12gb to 16gb ram. Otherwise, the 'console-level games' directly on the phone is purely marketing gimmicks.

                            the only thing to do when developing graphic intensive game is to optimize for certain platform. if developers does not do this it would be like trying to play gta v on pentium 4 with radeon x800 gpu.

                              too pushy releasing console games into a tiktok machine. better buy steam deck instead 😃😃👍
                              although it does not have cameras but gaming is the #1 priority when it comes to steam deck, or any other portable pc like ayaneo and rog ally.

                                Also, in no way the heavily censored politically correct re4 remake is better than re8. You're delusional.

                                  Did you not read the article or do you simply like to shill for free? The game runs at 360p30.

                                    I don't understand why iPhone game developers are limited to re-release two decades old PC games if the "bionic" A16 is benchmarking better than a $3,000 PC? What gives? I mean, the resolution is half of a modern PC, surely you'd be able to max out a contemporary PC game?

                                      The hair during that video looked like strands and particles of yellow bits really. 6.5/10 port.

                                      2 points for it running on a phone. Really cool feat
                                      2.5 points for said phone not crashing or being unbelievably laggy.
                                      and 1 point for being optimized at 720p (technically 360p).

                                      The game should have at least 60fps maybe but we can't have everything. The game used MetalFX to upscale it to be honest. 720p internally would've caused the GPU to crap out after 5 minutes of heating up your hands. It could handle 480p and upscale by 1.5 times which brings 720.

                                        no graphic setting mean this ver cant be compare to conole /pc version.
                                        Dev can tweak down to suit mobile capability. The A17pro soc indeed better than the non pro ps4 gpu .

                                        However we have to wait real footage comparison between those 2 version of the game.I think the iphone will be on par with ps4 and close reach the ps4 pro version. Let alone the mighty ps5 or pc version.

                                          3 of 4
