Capcom Bringing Resident Evil Village to Apple Silicon Mac Next Week

Completely agree. I assume Apple helped to finance or entered some kind of agreement with Capcom to bring this over to the Mac? If Apple have a horse in this race they obviously want their cut (via App Store). Then again, Psychonauts 2 is available on both the App Store and Steam. Maybe it's something to do with being M1 only? Does Steam even distribute games compiled for ARM? I have no idea. The Steam app for MacOS is ARM native, though.
As a gaming enthusiast, I won't be buying this because it's on the App Store. It's like buying a game from Stadia to me, personally. However, I have lots of gaming hardware to play this on. If your only machine is a Mac and you want to play this, hopefully the port is good!
Apple already has a form of RT via Metal, but does not the power to compete with PC codes. Metal 3 is supposed to amplify it higher.
The M2 Max/M3-series is rumored to have dedicated embedded RT on the GPUs

Yes Steam does Arm games for max. TW:Warhammer 3 was M1 only when it release for Mac. Feral has since worked out some issues and it works in Intel and Arm and just got updated to the 2.0 version.
A game? On a Mac? Dogs and Cats living together, mass hysteria.
RE Village is 80% on steam. if you have an Intel Mac, your more than welcome to buy it while on sale
None of those game are Apple Silicon optimized
WOW is the only Apple Silicon optimized game that performs over 100 FPS
Warhammer 3 is.
Even World of Warcraft and EVE Online and they're still getting better performance on gaming PCs.
And here's the thing: These were just at 1080p. Can't even imagine how bad the Macs are gonna fare in 1440p or 4K benchmarks.

yes at WWDC it was demoed, I think they said "coming later this fall" but no specific release date was given.
Steam DOES support Apple Silicon games. I have a few that say they are optimized for Apple Silicon...
Honestly what I think has happened is that due to the M1, even the MacBook Air can run a game like this decently. Every Mac user is a potential customer now.
Inaccurate. Steam itself is still intel-native, but it can support Apple Silicon games now. I can play native Disco Elysium on Steam for example. Just a matter of developers updating their software. Capcom could definitely offer it through steam.
Totally. But why wouldn't they release this on Steam too? Do we have any confirmation that this won't ship through Steam too?
Love the Ghostbusters reference. Now if only we could have GB and RE crossover game!
Not sure. I was looking on Steam, and they don't say anything about it, although they are releasing stuff on Oct. 28 on Steam, too.
really not trying to make excuses but for most games, isn't 60fps "good enough"? plus core-i9 is with a dedicated GPU is it not? so is it really comparable? honest question.
Yeah I can't find anything about it on Capcom's website either. I know that there is the Gold edition (base+dlc) releasing on the 28th on PC, Xbox, PS. Not sure if the Mac version is the 'Gold' version too.
When this guy says the Mac version of RE Village and the M Series chips are gonna roll over gaming PCs with RTX 30 series cards, I gotta lay down the law.
And 60 can be good enough, but if you go higher it performs even better, as the higher the framerate, the lower the input latency is giving you better response time with your inputs. It's why the next generation consoles have 120 FPS modes for multiplayer games like Call of Duty and Fortnite so they can compete with eSports and streamer spec gaming PCs.

The law that was laid down was flawed, however. Oranges to Apples, since those haven't been optimized. Personally, my Apple silicon computer runs Eve Online better than my PC, and I got the GPU last year.
Oh I get better performance of Factorio on my base spec M1 Pro than my PC, but that's mainly because Factorio is a CPU focused game not a GPU one. Minecraft on my Mac though loads slower than my PC, and Minecraft's native on Apple Silicon too.
There are some people that have a strong bias in favor of PC gaming and against the idea of Mac gaming. No matter what facts are presented to them, they will never waver. It is reminiscent of the console wars. It'll never change, no matter how good Mac gaming becomes.
