Something I've been meaning to point out. I think these are bullshots. In the 'sharpened filter' images people have been quoting, like this one:
Notice how Chris has the exact same effect applied over him like the rest of the screenshot? The image was edited, not the background, and this applies to multiple screens showed here. I think they're bullshots. A pre-render background filter wouldn't effect 3D models, also the game used 3D lighting, so why would the 3D lighting have an image effect of the pre-render backdrops?

HUSTLIN' !
Dude, I'd love them using the OG assets, it's a shame they don't. It's not like I'm defending the fact that they're not using them. I'm just happy to get something that I never expected to get.
What else, then? You can't simply 'ask' Capcom like that and they'll do it. Only thing you can do is take it or leave it.
Pah. 15FPS feels even more scarier.
Capcpom likes money.
And it likes it even more when it just has to fart a bit to get some.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Don't get depressed. If you knew how games actually sell thru on the wii u, then you'd have more ground to be depressed on.
I'm more shocked when games actually get announced for it at this point, sad truth be told.
I don't really blame anyone. There just isn't enough people who want games for it that actually buy nonMario games. Personally that's enough for me, but I also own all the consoles.

Chris is too small in the frame to say if the effect applies to him. But we have enough other screenshots where the filter is applied to the background only.
Again, the evidence is solid. Until Capcom releases more proving otherwise, it's a substandard port.
You know, this pic sometimes makes me laugh, but this time... It makes me mad :'( Dem Reggie.

Thanks for the video. If what they say is true they indeed are putting effort in giving this game a good HD treatment and don't just port it.

Can you imagine if Ubisoft made a horror game and released it on PC? Nothing would ever be able to top it as far as sheer horror.

Because the game looked pretty much 90% like that on GC. There is zero effort in this HD "rehash"
Guess most people itt didnt play the Gamecube version? Fucking crapcom

If they aren't re-doing the backgrounds, then I don't have any real reason upgrade from the Gamecube version.
Where did you quit?
Oh, somewhere around the part where I had to backtrack through a dozen crimson heads and fighting

Never played REmake, so this is a plus for me.
I think even Ubisoft wouldn't be able to beat the scariness of Silent Hill HD collection.
That actually was true horror. You can't get more horrific than this.

Huh? I wasn't expecting anything else than it being a HD port of the GC REmake. What do people want? A remaster of a remaster?
I'm totally fine with an uprezzed port in this case.

I'm not saying it will be a little amount of work, but only upscaling everything and calling it a remaster or HD is being disingenuous.
Ugh..
Looks like they just ran some shitty sharpening filter over the backgrounds. I'll probably stick to Dolphin emulation
Whatever filter they're using is making it even more obvious that the backgrounds and the character models aren't being simultaneously rendered. That's the worst of it for me.
How about you guys be happy that you are getting to play the best RE game ever made?
Sometimes you guys will never be happy..
Dont like it dont buy it, simple!

As it goddamn deserves. Bring it into the new gen with some true 1080p and upgraded charater models, realtime shadowing and all that good shit. Bokeh depth of field too.
Crapcom being cheap assholes again. And digital only so you cant get rid of it.
Hi ShadyJ. I already played it on Gamecube. This deserves better than a shitty upport with a terrible sharpening filter stuck on it.

Oh well, if it sucks I just gotta keep on playing this one:
Tried out the sharpening filter, worked out pretty well.
Buying it on Steam and not just installing it, of course.

Yes, id love that too but do you really think Capcom is going to do that?
This is better than nothing for the people who never played this game at all.
To clarify the only Physical release is a japan box on PS3? rest is Digtial?

Well duh. If you say so. On Steam we had folks who expected the RE4 HD port to be a remaster with upgraded models and effects aswell.
It's an HD port for god's sake.
Are your expectactions for remasters/remakes always this high?

I'd like to have an actual HD remaster too. But without the original assets, that seems kind of impossible. It seems like everything but the finalized code has been lost to time. This has to mean Capcom has plans to return the Biohazard franchise. My body has been ready for its return since 2005.
I've played and completed the GameCube version many years ago but I still think these screenshots look great. I remember many people previously said that this port wasn't possible due to the pre-rendered backgrounds. Well, Capcom managed to pull it off and it looks as good as I remembered. No complaints here.

I knew they wouldn't have held on to the original assets.
That or they're just lazy.
Will buy for cheap on PC when the inevitable mods hit the scene. GameCube version will suit me just fine till then.
It's Capcom, of course they're planning to sell it separately. Then in a bundle six months later.

Woa... is that on PS4?
The game is timeless in its design, the GC version today on a CRT is AMAZING.
Atmospherically its the best IMO

I also am not sure Capcom in its current state has the talent to remaster Resident Evil a third time and have it come out as good as REmake did. Better to put it out the 2002 game as best as possible for people who never played it than to muck it up, IMO. Capcom's PR on this is pretty slimy, trying to pass this off as a "HD remastering" that is somehow more than an upscale, but in the description of the tweaks, it feels like the development team itself seems to have the right idea of what to do and not do with the materials it has.
Funny, by the way, that game fans are so adamant that everything be remade in a remaster, totally replacing the original product. George Lucas "ruined" so many people's childhoods by adding another Vader "Nooooo!", but when it comes to games, there's still this idea that we can futz with a game a decade later just enough that it'll be "perfect".
If Capcom had approached this as an opportunity to do the whole PS1 trilogy again in REmake form, I could see them doing new graphics and a new engine and all that. But that's not what's happening, and they may not even have the talent right now anyway to do it at the level that they did with great masters like Mikami at the helm. Better to do it authentically then to wreck it trying to "improve" it. And if it ends up being no better than Dolphin, nobody's taking your rips away.
We're at least lucky this remastering isn't going straight to iPhone.
Buy a different console if you want to play anything other than Nintendo published games.
I don't think "maybe" is even needed at this point. They'd be total morons if they don't.

Capcom used a similar method for their screenshots of the recent PC port of RE4. People were noticing the same effects were being applied to the UI.
So the precedent is there.
