It's excellent, but if you never liked old Resident Evil, this game likely isn't going to change your mind.
There's a 4:3 mode.
Worse color than the horrible green pall over the entire game on GC? The blacks look a bit too dark, hope that's a capture or brightness settings issue since PS4 itself shouldn't crush blacks.

Well why didn't I learn of the 4:3 mode until now? that changes things.
"The one thing I don't like about REmake HD is it's almost too clean"
Rose tinted glasses is legit.
I don't remember the GC version looking anywhere near as washed out and dull as it does here.
I know it's a weird thing to say, but it looks almost too clean.
Looking pretty good IMO. I never got REmake on GC (I somehow actually never heard of it at the time) so I'll probably get this depending on price. Looks like 16:9 is zoomed in rather than stretched or just re-rendered?
Why would they do that? Some places have shown last-gen as well, it seems like PS4 would always be the optimal console to show (or PC for basically bullshot quality)
It doesn't when played on a proper CRT setup.
So basically on the PS4:
-Brighter backgrounds
-Less Jaggy models
-Jill consumed a bunch of sandwiches and became fat
I have such nostalgia for the GC Original (and the PS1 original) so I'll definitely be picking this up.
They should have just compared them both in 4:3 mode.
And made a decent quality 1080p video at least.

Who needs to see wallpaper, anyway?
Plus there's a missing rim lighting on the top of Jill's hat and shoulders.
That's what Capcom is banking on.![]()

Shame they couldn't re-render the backgrounds though.
The part where Jill goes down the staircase looks far better to me in the Gamecube version.
I don't really think the backgrouds are upscaled in the REmake; they look significantly better than their low-resolution counterparts.
If they arent upscaled, then why crop the frame to achieve 16:9, makes no sense![]()
This environment shows the most dramatic resolution upgrade.
I'm not sure if it's supposed to look like the wall's charred above and below the fire. Debatable if the lighter, maybe more realistic shadows on PS4 are an improvement over the striking darkness on GC.
There's shadow acne on the ground in that scene that needs to be fixed up too.

That and people who never have played the game who may be interested because of the excellent word of mouth this game has and for some of those millions of new RE fans who may be interested to try the original.
I know it's a weird thing to say, but it looks almost too clean.
Maybe if we're lucky RE7 will have its own team and the Revelations team can handle an RE2 remake. Maybe.Not a complete remake I guess, not the level of remake I expect.
