I'm actually pretty excited to see this on PC. Could be modded and fixed even further.

First comparison that truly stands out
How do companies lose original assets for games in that era? It just boggles my mind. Surely after you make a game you would store away what youve done in some sort of vault.
Such a shame.This game would look absolutely gorgeous if they went and re-rendered the backgrounds at 1080p.

I love Pokken!
It is the best Horror game of all time alongside Silent Hill 2

It's definitely the most survival-y-est. Least amount of supplies, less action, fewer but more dangerous enemies, and even more item management thanks to

I don't care about some stupid widescreen thing, this looks much better and it will run at 1080p. They will likely clean up other effects as well. Definitely on board.

Is it me or does Chris' face look a little more... chiseled?

Oh man, I can't wait to play this again. It's been so long.
Retconning so RE5 makes plausible sense.

This was a actual technical issue? I could have sworn I read somewhere that it was a creative choice but I can't remember where.
I've had a second chance to look at this and the $40 price is really mindboggling, considering what they're doing.
ffx/x-2 remaster retailed at $40 and had new character models, new music (although this is a mixed bag, the effort is more of what i'm talking about here), completely new UI, and they went back and touched up the prerendered backgrounds and CG cutscenes (here's looking at you, GoW 1/2 HD)

No amount of retconning in the world can get RE5 to make plausible sense
I hope the pricing on this isn't stupid.
Wow, reflections in the water. That seems to be missing lately.

You would think so, but it happened a lot more often than you'd expect.
Sega in particular have lost the source code for a ton of their stuff, like House of the Dead 1, Golden Axe: Revenge of Death Adder, Panzer Dragoon Saga, and even (allegedly) Sonic 1. A more relevant example would be Square somehow losing the source code for Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix and having to reverse engineer the source code from a PS2 disc in order to make the HD port happen.
OP says 3990 yen, which is nearly $40 US

Oh cool! So it's like 2D controls on Silent Hill 2?
Reflections anywhere is missing in most games today. I never understand. I can go back and play games from 96' and there is more mirror / water reflections than today. Love, love those type of details.

I consider that fair given that game has never seen the light outside of GC. Now we're getting it on 5 more platforms. Perfect.

Nice! We can choose between 4:3 or wide-screen? Why would anyone not choose wide-screen?

At that point, why even bother with an HD remaster?
They want to play the game as it originally looked and without pan-n-scan.
Because fans really wanted it and it turned out great anyways? Who the hell wouldn't want KH: Final Mix to finally come out in the west?

Pan-n-Scan.

pan-n-scan is the devil
WOW.
Is this the reason why it never showed up on the Wii? I always thought it was really strange that HOTD 2&3 were bundled but not 1.

Just googled Pan-n-Scan, and everything I read said that it means cropping widescreen images to fit a 4:3 ratio - so wouldn't you want to play it in widescreen then? Otherwise you're losing parts of the image.
Will it sell anywhere else?

This is cropping a 4:3 image to fit a widescreen one. You are losing the top and bottom of the image, and it pans over when you walk around.
First comparison that truly stands out
Maybe its just me but right there the remaster looks a bit better.
which is funny because there is the possibility of enemies being offscreen if you play in widescreen mode that you would see if you were playing in 4:3
I can't see how or why in any thinkable mind it would be an actual intentional choice. It does not help or improve anything in anyway and it's not in RE: Zero.

Exactly. And it fucks with the perfectly framed 'camera' angles.

Well, that game at least had the potential sales hook of that version of the game never being released in the west before, so I can see why they went above and beyond the call of duty for that. IIRC, Bluepoint does the same process for their remasters, not because of lost source code, but because it's the only way for them to be sure that they're working with absolute final shipped game code.
Yeah, they lost source codes and assets for a pretty sizable chunk of their 32-Bit era work. In Golden Axe's case, they apparently lost graphic and audio assets and in HoD1's and PDS' case, they just straight up lost the entire source code.

Oh god....fuck. Tough decisions then. I really hate viewing anything at 4:3 on my TV, but I don't want to lose any of the image.
I'm sure many people will mock me for this - but whenever given the option I always "stretch to fit" 4:3 shows/movies on my TV. I get used to the slightly fatter looking people eventually.....heh. Wish this game had an option for that. AFAIK the PS3 had a stretch option for emulated software

Why this isnt on wiiu is hikarious considering that the original remake run on gamecube which its cpu is literally inside wiiu....
They don't look compressed but they are filtered hard as fuck, dat hqx3 filter
The filtered shot looks waaaay better, IMO.

Because of the lighting engine changes, I have a feeling that this version of REmake is being run on that one engine Capcom used for Resident Evil 5, Revelations, 6, the HD versions of RE4 and Code Veronica, and the HD versions of Umbrella Chronicles and Darkside Chronicles.
The engine has specific lighting which causes some lighting changes most noticeable in RE4 and Code Veronica especially. Capcom seems to be in a process of moving all of its RE games it can to this engine, and as lighting is different in the screens for REmasters, I bet this game is being ported to the engine.
The bright news is if this is true is that on PC the game will definitely be modable, and the game should have very good performance and optimization for PC and modern consoles.

REmastered on the left, original on the right take with Dolphin (thanks to Sectus).

REmake's pre-rendered backgrounds were amazing works of art. That cropping does not feel right at all, especially considering the game had such a cinematic feel. It'll be like watching classic movies in fullscreen VHS during in the nineties.

Never doubted 'ya. But it begs the question: The perfect remake is...getting a remake?
That's a massive loss. Good thing I've still got my Saturn (even tho the game's like 5x the price of a system lol).
I don't see it. It's lighter but doesn't look any more real. It just looks like lightning flashed in the window. Now Chris look more like a hollywood action star rather than a real person.
Michael Biehn was indeed a real person. As is Bruce Willis.

RE4 is the only game to NOT be ported to MT Frameworks in the RE catalog, right? Besides 0 but that hasn't made it anywhere else yet either.
If REmake is making it to MT Frameworks I'd take a guess that CVX HD will appear on PC at some point as well.
edit: oh and those shots are from the PS3 version. Need 360 more Ps to see how good it'll look.

It seems that reaction of this remastered title is really bad in my region.
They think capcom is just milking their franchise, not new game.
I didn't expect on that reaction, but in terms of capcom's recent schedule, indeed they're just milking their title.
But I'll consider to buy PC version when korean translation patch has come.
