The Resident Evil Village demo became available on PS4 and PS5 earlier today at 7pm CEST, so here is a full walkthrough with ray tracing activated - which unsurprisingly causes some framerate issues. This trial version is way too short to be sure that this new episode will be as great as the previous one, but at least it allowed us to see what to expect on terms of exploration and narrative sequences. Gunplay makes a brief appearance, but since handguns have never truly been excellent in terms of feedback in the series, there is nothing to write home about. Those who thought Ethan was to slow when it came to running or aiming will most likely feel the same while those who enjoyed RE7 will feel right at home. The next part of the demo will come out on April 25 on PS4 and PS5 and it will take us inside the castle this time.
Update: HDR video added, this time without ray tracing for a smoother experience.
Update 2: FPS analysis video added.

feel like that crazy old lady will have a bigger role later in the story, a twist reveal maybe
