Resident Evil upgrades can't be reversed and fans aren't happy

As revealed at the Capcom Showcase, current-gen Resident Evil upgrade patches for three of the best horror games on PC - Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7 Biohazard - have rolled out on Steam. However, a number of fans are upset, as these next-gen Resident Evil updates force players into the new versions - and more, seem to break mods and lighting.
Capcom has released PC graphical upgrades for three of its most recent Resident Evil games, apart from Resident Evil Village, which will get its upgrade alongside a new DLC expansion in October. The first annoyance about the updates is that Capcom has raised the minimum specifications for all three games - Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 7.
However, there are a number of details that fans are less than thrilled about. DirectX 12 is now enforced, so if you were barely running these games before, you'll especially struggle now - which also removes pre-Windows 10 PCs from support. In a number of cases, the new ray-traced lighting system is more accurate but may remove the spooky ambience of the previous pre-baked lighting.
