Resident Evil Village actually looks pretty good on the iPhone 15 Pro

In a recent interview with IGNAn Apple executive claimed that the iPhone 15 Pro “will be the best gaming console” I doubted. Apple has boasted about the capabilities of its new A17 Pro GPU-on-chip and said it likes high-resolution gaming. Residents bad villageO Resident Evil 4 New Edition, and Stuck Death They will all come on the iPhone 15 Pro, I don’t think they will work well in practice.

But after seeing the actual image Residents bad village While working on the iPhone 15 Pro, I realized that Apple’s vision is not as far-fetched as I thought.

You can watch the game starting at 1:48 p.m. in YouTuber Vincent Chung’s video. First, Chang plays well village On the 15 Pro on a handheld game console, photos look great. But here comes the good part: Zhang pairs the phone with an external display and a DualSense controller, and at least in his video, Residents bad village It looks pretty close to what I expected from the graphical quality of the game on the console.

I don’t think it will be a 1:1 game. According to Zhang’s video captions, the game’s resolution is locked at 1560 x 720 and its frame rate is “currently” locked at 30fps. And Zhang says the experience has its downsides: “The screen mirroring effect is definitely not as good as a phone,” says Zhang. “It’s definitely not as good as the original effect on game consoles.”

However, I can see how it could be attractive to connect your phone to a monitor to transfer console-quality games from your iPhone to the big screen. This can be especially helpful when traveling or away from home. We’ll have to wait and see how good the final iOS ports are village, RE4And Stuck Death Actually – what if Apple could convince more developers to bring their console-quality games to the iPhone – but I’m more interested in this than last week.

The gaming push for the iPhone 15 Pro is part of Apple’s recent increased focus on high-end gaming. For example, for Mac, a tool like Proton was introduced which can run Windows games. This means I can play more games on my MacBook Air, but while I wait, at least I can offer Baldur’s Gate 3 outlet.
