Resident Evil VII was also pretty damned good, and a return to form that made me optimistic about the series moving forward.

I really loved the REmake that was released on PSN a couple years ago, and I've been looking forward to an " RE2make" ever since. Players on Steam and XBox One do not seem to have any issues streaming.

Apparently, only the PS4 version of the game suffers from this problem. This realization sent me into a rabbit-hole of digging through the internet to find out if there was a work-around.

Even the built-in "capture" functionality (of the last 15 minutes of gameplay) of the PS4 console is disabled! I didn't even know games on the console could disable the built-in capture.

I was really looking forward to this remake of RE2.Īfter having to wait all of Saturday night for Resident Evil 2 remake to download and install on my PS4 (and playing Red Dead Redemption 2 to pass the time), I tried booting up the game on Sunday and played 15 minutes, only to find that the entire game is blocked from streaming. I have also adapted that review into a video critique on YouTube:

I have a full review up for the game now. Some of the points about fair use and blocking functionality of the console are still valid for situations like Persona 5, so maybe this blog will serve as a cautionary tale for any publishers or developers who do try to pull something like this deliberately. I'm leaving the rest of this post intact for posterity. So pending any other setbacks, I do expect to play Resident Evil 2 this week, and will hopefully have a review out in a couple weeks. I can't imagine that they had deliberately blocked HDR or 4k streaming, but left non-HDR and regular HD enabled.

I guess I'll have to chalk this one up to a bug for now? Maybe Capcom will fix it with a patch. You'll be playing at lower resolution, and with less color range, but it'll be playable and streamable. So, long story short: If you disable HDR on the PS4's video settings, you should be able to stream Resident Evil 2. Atlus had patched Persona 5 to remove the streaming block for after about a week. I was assuming that Capcom was doing the same thing. But Atlus had also recently blocked streaming of Persona 5 in order to prevent spoilers from leaking onto the internet. Games in the past have done this for screens in which players enter email accounts, passwords, credit card numbers, or other sensitive information (which is the only acceptable use of blocking share functionality!). I have been streaming Red Dead Redemption II for two months with HDR enabled without any problem, so it didn't even occur to me to test that setting.īesides, the message was telling me that the scene was "blocked", so I had assumed that Capcom had blocked it as a "spoiler" section. I had actually come across this post last night, but had dismissed it because it was specifically about "Share Play" and not about streaming. Commentor Jon had also posted the same work-around just as I was loading up RE2 to test it. That post claims that disabling HDR (High Dynamic Range) in the PS4's video settings will allow you to stream and capture Resident Evil 2 footage. Twitter user referred me to a gamefaqs post at /boards/179835-resident-evil-2/77419853 that has a work-around for this issue.
