You'll likely get your wish, considering HUNK is a fairly popular RE character and that he's been in three MT Framework games (Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil Revelations, Lost Planet 2), so it should be a bit easier to port him, just needs rigging and replacing.
Wait, does RE4 UHD really run on MT Framework? Its folder structure doesn't look like the one used in RE5, 6 and Revelations and unlike REC:V HD and REmake HD, it's lighting and special effects weren't improvement - they look exactly the same as in GameCube version (moreover, some effects - like depth of field - were removed in the HD version).

So do we have any idea when the ps4 version will be out?
If this indeed runs on MTFramework (based on what sectus discovered) then modding will be trivial.
Can already see Leon & co modded in.
RE4 UHD doesn't run on MTF. It's a port of the X360 version, which was a port of the Wii version, which was a port of the GC version.

I really do hope that happens. It's my favourite one.

I really hope they don't waste resources on remastering 0. What a terribly boring game. Can't even bring myself to finish it. Dreadful inventory system as well.
Don't worry, it's probably going to be much worse with current gen versions.
Try to play it in 4:3, it will look much better.
Are you sure? Maybe it's just CVX HD then. I distinctly remember at least one of the 360 HD ports having the MT Framework logo on game boot.

1080p versions are going to look like a filtered mess, I just know it.
It was CVX HD.
Memory's failing me at my old age then, dang.

Did anyone in Japan get the collector's edition? How's the art book that comes with it? Surprisingly there are no videos on youtube for it.
because japanese people don't use youtube.

There are lots of people in Japan who upload videos of various games to youtube, be they native or expats. Although it's always targeted to people outside Japan from what I've seen. Doesn't really matter of course, mine will be here soon enough.
Boo this awful opinion. BOOOOO I say!

I loved RE0. At the time I had never fully played an RE game and I was mostly a Nintendo kid so REMake was my first complete RE experience. Maybe it was just my lower expectations, but everything about RE0 besides the story was top notch to me even after playing the greatest survival horror game of all time. Hell, I even preferred RE0's two partner system to RE5 and RE6's forced coop for the most part. RE5 was fun as an arcade style coop experience, though.
Too bad we never got more of Billy or Rebecca. I'd definitely pay for an RE0 PC port.

Don't get cocky.
fixed.
Also there should be a wetsuit costume from Revelations in this game, if not they should make it unlockable from re.net
Basically all of them are filtered and touched up in some way.
None are in true widescreen, everything is cropped and panned as the player moves in 16:9 mode, and normal in the 4:3 mode.

Looks stretched out.
Maybe I'll stick with my Wii version. Lower resolution doesn't bother me and neither does 4:3. Horizontally stretching stuff reaaaaally bothers me.
Those are textures, not screenshots. The aspect ratio is correct ingame.

Edit: nevermind, I'll have to look at some screenshots then.
Oh cool. I still can't understand why anyone would want to throw away their work.
We don't really know that the work was lost. There areso many possibilities for why the port came out the way it did, we can't conclude on one particular thing without confirmation from Capcom.

Watching Sectus videos alone has quelled any fears I could have had about the game.
The 360 version looks good, sure the PC, X1, and PS4 will be great as well.

This is a really minor gripe, but what's with the horrible font being used? Normally I wouldn't even mention this, but set the text language to japanese and notice how suddenly they use a different, much better font for all the english text (In the options menu, the main menu, "Enter the Survival Horror", etc...) why couldn't they keep that for the full english option?

My CE turned up yesterday, took some pics and thought they should probably go in this thread. The big box was a surprise!

The comparison pic of the 360 and PS4 made me decide to wait for PS4.

Does Capcom really hates money?
Why the hell they wouldn't release the same CE for the PS4 version US release?
I feel so upset now -.-"
Can you make a video of the art book?
that is Code: Veronica or just CV but not Code CV.
I grabbed the 360 version and I've played up to right before the labs, and this whole remaster is a really mixed bag. I'll try and lay out my feelings, but this will mostly be technical stuff as the core game is largely untouched from what I've seen so far.
Firstly, the backgrounds. I don't pretend to know what process was used to upscale/upres these, but it's very inconsistent. The majority of the areas look like they've been upscaled with a filter with some slight touch ups here and there. This really works for some rooms such as the mansion dining room and main hall. Others look like the source may have been of a lower quality for whatever reason, for example, the entire basement of the guardhouse looks really bad, especially the aqua ring control room which looks honestly horrendous. I wish I had capture gear to post screens, but it's by far the worst area I've seen so far, and it really stands out against the high quality models of the character and the shark in the background. The touch ups I mentioned mainly seem to try and help hide blemishes in the upscale, so added bloom or shadows and such.
Some areas seem to have had a lot more work than others, seemingly backgrounds with more dynamic lighting or effects. An example of this is the birdcage hallway beside Kenneth which seems to have been either entirely remade or almost entirely retextured. While it certainly looks sharper than other rooms, it seems like half of the shadows and little details of the room have been lost, leaving it feeling almost sterile in comparison to the Gamecube version. Where the added or reworked stuff works the best is in outdoor areas, where a lot of foliage has been added around the scenes. Again, I have a feeling this is to hide some of the worse looking areas in the upres but it really fits with these areas. The path from the mansion to Lisa's cabin in particular looks incredible now, with the weird depth of field effect beyond the path looking much nicer and giving a much clearer image of that background.
The other big thing with the backgrounds is their choice to pan up and down the backgrounds so they can make them widescreen. For the first few areas, this seemed like a nice choice, but the more I've played, the less I like it. Let me just say that I think it's a nice idea and with some more work, it could have been really great, but it's how they've implemented it that really bothers me. Essentially, as you move through a screen, the camera will pan up or down depending on what it needs to show. However, this seems to be tied to both player movement and animations, so you will have moments where the camera keeps panning up and down as you're jumping up and down from boxes or picking up items, or running back and forth in a scene to solve a puzzle. That might not sound like a big deal, but it looks needlessly silly at several points. At other times, they will needlessly pan in a room where it isn't needed, which causes the framing of the scene to look terrible, with an item flashing off screen or showing more of the character's body than their head and such. I think the better option would have been for them to look at each scene individually and decide which needed to pan and if it was unnecessary, lock it to a frame that conveys the background best. As for the pan itself, it would have been much better to have it trigger in a required background of the player hit an area in the environment so it would pan automatically (which I believe Zero did in several scenes) so that the scene wouldn't keep slightly moving up and down constantly.
The character and enemy skins are another weirdly inconsistent area, with Chris, Jill and Rebecca (of the characters I've seen so far) having a nice upgrade while Richard doesn't look great. Richard's injured arm in particular looks really bad now, just a muddy texture that, when the game decides to zoom in on it, you wonder why they didn't put any effort into upgrading this. The same goes for several zombie skins; I noticed one looked really bad when it jumps out of the bath in the mansion, the skin just looks low res now, which is strange when some of the zombie skins (such as the first zombie) have been updated. I know this one is a more unrealistic wish for the upgrade, but it does noticeably stand out at times.
The only other issue I've noticed is that, on two occasions, the wrong instrument was used for background music. The two occasions have been when Chris and Rebecca take Richard to the sick room and "Sigh of Relief" plays, and the other is the main guardhouse music "Ivies' Domain", both of the main tracks are using the wrong instrument which, I guess, is just an odd bug but really stands out. I've noticed in other places that the mixing of the music's instruments are really odd, so when Neptune attacks, for example, the frantic part of that track is mixed more evenly with the other tracks and doesn't sound as good as the original. This has happened with a couple of tracks, but that was the most noticeable one for me so far.
The only other thing I haven't talked about are the controls. One really great addition is that they've introduced tactical reloading, where you can reload while aiming by pressing the run button. I loved this in Resident Evil Deadly Silence and I love that they brought it across for this. As for the new style controls, I hate them but I understand that I'm biased, being an old style Resident Evil fan and I've hated this control type since Devil May Cry. Tank controls always worked for prerendered games because they did away with the need for situational awareness so to speak; if you push forward, you will walk forward, if you push left, you will turn left, if you push back, you will back up. The new controls work for one screen, but then in the next screen if you take your thumb off and that direction and hit it again, you could be going in the opposite direction, meaning you always have to be concious of the angle and the character. It just feels like a needless hassle when tank controls work perfectly for this type of game and it makes the animations look terrible. But again, I understand that that's probably just me.
But yeah, that's my impressions so far. At the end of the day, it's REmake on more systems, and in my eyes it's probably the greatest pure survival horror game that was ever released. But it's such a mixed bag technically that I just don't know what to think of it overall.

Thanks for this.
It feels like a bare minimum port but at least more people get to play this.
It's a game I call "posting on the internet forums while being high on pain meds."Code CV = Code Code Veronica
Also sometimes called "posting on the internet forums while being very very tired."
I noticed what I wrote afterwards but since cvxfreak had already quoted one of the posts, I didn't bother to edit them. Until now.

YO theres a wesker report with this?
We need that translated or will it be part of the American additions as well?
Even being wrong the CVX wesker report was fun.

It's far from a bare minimum port but there are obvious limits, and like randomwab says, some particularly notable compromises. The original game's impeccably effective atmosphere suffers as a result at times. Overall I prefer the GC/Wii version's FMV backgrounds significantly more, lower res and all, but some areas in the HD do look really damn good now.
Still plays as great as ever, too.

Zero was done after REmake and was done by mostly the same team. One of the best things about Zero honestly is how it looks. I think it'd be harder overall than REmake though, as a lot of the backgrounds in Zero are animated, more-so than REmake.
I'm trying to imagine how they'd handle areas such as the train (which has a lot of details such as objects rattling and lights going by), the waterfall passage, the underground sacrifice room, etc.

Hmmm, personaly I find REmake better looking than 0.
The original report is actually correct, it's the video that's wrong (because it was rushed).
