Resident Evil HD Remaster confirmed for PS3/PS4/360/XB1/PC

Oh great news! Everyone needs to get this when it comes out. Maybe this will show Capcom what we want out of Resident Evil.
 
This has become my most anticipated game. I have heard so many good things over the years about the quality of the original Resident Evil and the labor of love that was REmake.

Can't wait for this release and I am sincerely hoping that Capcom does an amazing job.

Enjoy it; to me, REmake is on the same level as RE4 - two games with exceptional quality that hasn't been reached since. Well, in my opinion at least.
 
Im convinced that REmake is one of the few timeless videogames. I played it a year ago and was still blown away. Just an amazing game. Great news about the port.
 
They have a new optional control mode for younger, casual gamers.

This type of insinuation is silly. If someone takes issues with a game's controls they're "younger" and "casual" as if those are pejorative? That's just as ignorant as if someone claimed "older" and "hardcore" gamers have implicitly negative traits. Save the thinly veiled insults for the schoolyard?

The fact of the matter is that for me the controls weren't enjoyable when I played and beat the game when I bought it when I was 16 on PS1. The controls weren't any more enjoyable on the GC when I purchased REmake. The controls wouldn't be enjoyable to me now.

I enjoyed the series enough to tolerate the controls but it wasn't something that I remember being a high-point of the experience.

^ What he said.

I hope all of you who haven't played it get a chance to now. It's pure excellence. One of the few games that have legitimately spooked me.

Look at all the artifacts on the left hand side of the screen on the remaster, looks really sloppy.

It was a joke settle down.
 
I really want them to go stupid and make it look gorgeous but have original RE 1 voice acting. Maybe even the live action intro in HD!
 
Oh, I'm well acquainted enough with Capcom to know what goes through their heads when it comes to these decisions. I know enough that they'll probably say something along the lines of "We're monitoring the success of REmaster to determine whether or not there is an audience for RE2make". I also know that if this hypothetically sells well, it still does not guarantee that RE2/3make will ever see fruition.

Capcom loves to hang a carrot on a stick in front of its fans. If I do buy this, it's solely just because I love REmake. I'm not investing in this just for the "chance" for RE2/3make.

Agreed. I may buy this, but I need to make sure the game is also fully functional and not plagued by glitches. And price is a big deal. More than $20 just for this one game, as great of a game as it is and probably my GOAT, would just not be responsible or sensible for me as a consumer.

If Zero gets thrown in there, despite my issues with that, could up that to $30, but again I need to see this in motion.
 
So can someone catch me up to speed here?

The Emulation shot is REmake running on Dolphin and the Remaster pic is media Capcom released for the new unreleased version?

Does this mean original source REmake on GameCube looks even worse than the Emulation version? Any comparisons on that front, or is Cube-capture software unrealistic?

Also, is the Remake shot from 360/PS3 targets? Didn't the YouTube video say the XB1/PS4/PC media is yet to be revealed?

Super-Day-One-Stoked either way.

My Cube has been in storage at a friends for years, so REmake has been out of my hands for a LONG time.

Yeah the ones from the right are from the REmaster, PS360 shots, I think.

A pic from a GC would only give a lame, poor 480p shot, I just can't play the game at this resolution anymore since I first played it on Dolphin years ago.

Consider the emulator shot the closest you'll get to the REmaster. It's just the GC with an upscaled native resolution so it makes the best case for comparisons.


Man, I think I'll buy an extra copy just to melt it and eat it on my toasts, so good!

This is awesome. Can't wait!

Hopefully they bring the HD PC edition of RE4 over at some point as well. I'd love to have my favorite REs on one console.
 
REmake is the absolute best RE game out there. I already own it for both GC and Wii and I'd buy it again in a heartbeat just to support more classic, actual survival horror RE.. but man is it looking rough.
 
It actually looks really good, and I can finally play RE1 IF THEY REMOVE THE DAMN DOOR ANIMATIONS ! (at least have an option to turn it on/off)

The DS version of the original RE1 has a skip doors feature, and yes it's amazing.

I understand some people like the doors, adding to the tension and sense of dread. Me? I'm over it, ain't got time for them doors. Let me in the next room already.
 
Oh this is good news. I was just pricing out online retailers for the Wii version of REmake. I like this better.

Shame no Wii U version, but whatevs. PS3 is good enough for me.

Oh my God! That live action intro was so bad it's good. I remember seeing it plenty of times on the original PlayStation version.

Maybe is common knowledge but in RE3 you can skip the opening the door animation (at least the PC version) by pressing the map button. I just found this a few days ago, and it blew my mind, lol.
 
This has reminded me that the GameCube version still looks smoking hot.

Am so psyched for this. Slightly saddened that it's digital; I would put a box in a display case on a velvet pillow.
 
Some people mentioned a $50 price for the game.

That's pretty steep, but if that's really going to be the case, this game would probably not be listed as a "PSN Game" (I don't know the exact term on XBL) and thus would have a full trophy list, including a platinum trophy. Considering that it was a real bummer that the last remasters had only 12 trophies, this wouldn't be so bad (although I'm not sure I would pay 30 bucks more just for trophies).

Reminds me of that one door animation in RE2 by the power station where the zombies come out of. You just never know man.

I don't see how Capcom could charge that much. I don't see it as being any more then $20, which is what Code Veronica X HD and Resident Evil 4 HD launched at. If they tried to sell it for $50, they would be just asking for it not to sell.

Awesomesauce.

Thanks for the clarification.

Who said this is gonna be 50 bucks? Expect 20 or 30.
 
So glad this is being done. I'd be curious to see how it performs in the context of today's market. REmake is the absolute pinnacle of the pre-RE4 games. Having said that, I'd like a remake of RE2.
 
If you've never played an older RE title before, when you're opening a door it shows it open slowly for 3-4 seconds to build tension. I personally don't have a problem with it.

Yeah, I've always loved the door animations. Such a clever way to cover loading times by doing something that actually adds to the tension and atmosphere of the game.
