Previously didn’t know how to dload files

I previously reviewed this poorly due to a UX issue (didn’t know there wasn’t touch controls to begin downloading files) - I’ve since been able to download the files and it’s an amazing achievement. Only giving 4 stars now as it seems to crash after about ten mins of gameplay consistently.

Incredible PC level port

When I heard games such as RE Villiage, RE4 remake and Death STranding were coming to mobile devices like the iPad and IPhone 15 pro I was incredulous. But since downloading it on my M2 IPad Pro I have been blown away. This is RE8, the full feature release with no compromises.

In addition, the graphical settings to tailor the experience to what you want are amazing and up to par with anything you’d find in a PC release.

The only thing is I would recommend a controller, as playing a game like this with touch screen is atrocious.

iPad M1 review

This works great on an iPad with the M1 chip. PS4 controller works and had no heat issues.

Graphics are not jaw-dropping stunning. They are pretty good and for the small screen size it's hardly an issue unless you highly value visuals. There are lots of graphic settings, I believe most people can find a decent set up.

No stuttering and super low latency with the controller.

You can try the game for free before buying it. I highly suggest giving it a chance and see if it's something that works for you. This could be a start of something big if Apple follows through.

Huge download keeps failing

When you 1st launch the game it notifies you that a > 7 gb transfer is necessary to play. Its states not to quit the game or power off your phone. Problem is your iPhone by default auto-locks after 30 seconds as the game is not programmed to prevent this. Then we you unlock your screen and return to the app its has a network error. Restarting the download is not possible. I have tried this 3 different times now and increased auto lock time to 5 minutes. I wanted to support this game given its one of the 1st of its kind. However it really shows that Capcom is new to iPhone app development. Not ready for prime time.

Console level Graphics on the go

Downloaded this the day I purchased the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The graphics are insane it’s like I have the PlayStation 4 in the palm of my hand.

needs update

Phone gets hot after play a little while

RE Village Review

I got to say, back in the old days when iPhone 4 and iPod Touch were a thing, Resident Evil 4 moblie is a lite version of the console we know in love. More of a decade later, here we are: a complete full game of Resident Evil Village, playing on a M1 iPad Pro. What was the result of it? They really pull it off with this quality. I’m really impressed.

However, playing on a touch screen, even on the iPad, is just doesn’t work for me. I should definitely need a controller in need to have a huge experience for it.

What’s good also is the price of the base game. CAD$21. I was worried that they would charge the same price as the console because this was released a while back, but they didn’t.

I recommend playing this game. It runs well, no issue so far.

Phone is getting overheated

The game is good with good graphics and good gameplay. But a playstation level game is not good for an iphone. The phone can’t handle the high graphics. My phone was over 150 degrees F after playing the game for 20 minutes. Not recommending for any one.

Fix Controller Aiming Please

The game runs great on my iPhone, and I’m very impressed by how well it runs on an M2 iPad. However, I’ve found looking around with a controller to be quite delayed. I’ve tried multiple wired and wireless controllers, with all having the same issue. Even using the touch control stick has the same result. Oddly, when you use the touch aiming without the virtual stick it feels fine. Once this is fixed my review will be five stars.

My god!

Was a bit sceptical at first on how well it would run (iPhone 15 Pro). But from the get go, it’s astonishing. Graphics, animations and frame rate is top notch for a mobile game! I haven’t tried the screen controls since I have a controller (8Bitdo SN30 Pro, which is compatible with iOS) and would advise you to get one or similar.
It does consume batteries so keep it plugged preferably. Also, if like me you have a USB C portable screen (or TV), you’ll enjoy it even more (magsafe fan is not a bad idea, if plugged to a screen).
The game itself is engrossing from the start and will purchase it for sure.
This is hopefully the beginning of more AAA games to come: great job!!
