May as well post my review here:

Hardcore Gamer - 4.5/5

There's also a comparison piece between PS4 and PC. PS4 seems to be squished vertically for some reason.

Jackpot is kinda right, but so is Sectus. They did some work so it's better than any emulation I've seen through Dolphin before, but also there wasn't much they could do with the original assets and the widescreen is kinda jank imo. But it's a remaster, there's no arguing that. It's not a straight port with a filter.

Either way I still prefer the non-widescreen display and classic controls. Just feels wrong any other way.

Have at it guys! Still my GOAT.

Our review is live, and went down well: http://www.pushsquare.com/reviews/ps4/resident_evil

Resident Evil has small issues here and there, and the silly writing and survival gameplay have never been for everybody, but these negatives don't change the fact that this is a fantastic release. The REmake is as enjoyable as ever, enhanced by small improvements that make it that much more playable, and the whole experience hints at just how great a new "classic" Resident Evil could be with today's technology behind it.

You can still play the game at 4:3 ratio.
This pan technique is the best one can get without having to re render the entire game....better than permanently losing the top and bottom half of the image due to the zoomed POV.

 

[Live Free or Die]

im pumped for this game! It's been years since I played RE. Im gonna have to find a walkthrough. lol

Are we there yet >

I know, I did. Have already gone through the PS3 version quite a few times. Will get the Steam version in a sale.

The pan technique is really good, but still something about the 4:3 display makes it seem much crisper. And the new controls almost break the game.

But however people enjoy it, I'm just glad they enjoy it. Game deserves all the praise it can get. Brilliant balance of survival/adventure/puzzle and the atmosphere is the best.

[x-Lundz-x]

Do we really need a review thread for an almost perfect game .

Also change your Avatar back man, where my Evangeline at?

I've taken a few screenshots of the PC version while playing it over the week.

Those pouches are a real thing.
But besides that this is just his BSAA look ripped straight from RE5.

 

[akilshohen]

How exactly do the new controls break the game?

Your avatar makes me wish there was a dino crisis remaster.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

It's basically god mode because the game play is designed around the old controls. You can basically run circles around zombies. It's EZ Mode for lack of a better term.

Yes, that is superiour model Chris.

Not until march 23 2016

 

[Jimmyfenix]

I am making the review thread at the moment guys

 

[Xpliskin]

To each his opinion, but surprisingly all people giving remake a score <9 are first-timers.

Interesting.

You can turn on a dime and just run around enemies with very little effort. Game was designed with the original controls in mind.

Oh man, the Aqua Ring looks even worse in higher resolution.

 

[Sectus]

You can turn towards any direction instantly. This makes evading attacks drastically easier.

Maybe Capcom should take note.

Nope.

They did, a decade ago.

 

[kewlmyc]

I think I might be interested in this. Is it true that the new movement option makes the game super easy?

Breaks the game tbh.

 

[Sectus]

I wouldn't say it makes it "super easy," but it definitely makes it easier. The new "very easy" difficulty definitely makes it stupidly easy though. Unless you're a person who prefers easy difficulty, the game is best played on normal difficulty with tank controls.

 

[Death Metalist]

I think people are not getting the concept that this game much like the original Tomb Raider games were built around the tank controls so yes, if you don't get the controls then you don't get these games, simple as that.

 

[Arsenic13]

Oh man, the Aqua Ring looks even worse in higher resolution.

It's one of the worse looking areas, but the majority of scenes are pretty good.

 

[Conezays]

Damn, looks like GMG's VIP pricing is now gone for Resident Evil? Is GMG still the cheapest place to grab the game with the 23 % site discount? Cheers.

Think Nuuvem has it for $13 and some change now.

I can't wait to play on very easy and just kill everything like I did in directors cut on PSX.

Unfortunately you are right.

When will this unlock on Steam? Can we VPN it early?

My first time playing and I am loving the game.

9 pm Pacific world wide release is last we heard.

 

[mattp]

Unfortunately you are right.

12 hours from now I believe.

I have those magazine pouches on my flak jacket. What do you want them to look like?

The Aqua Ring... my god :| Maybe it will look better in motion (please, say it will). I remember in GameCube version there were lights reflections moving on walls.

Everything else look good.

There's also a comparison piece between PS4 and PC. PS4 seems to be squished vertically for some reason.

Yeah, the PS4 version looks squished and much softer. Also, in this shot with Wesker in Guard's House there shadows look less detailed in PS4 version:

omonimo had it right.

i dont get this opinion though
if you don't like the controls in these games, you kind of don't like these games at all. the entire design is based around them. so if they were designed around different controls, they'd be designed totally differently

 

[omonimo]

Out of my curiosity : why it's not 60 fps on console? Seriously that's a bullshit.

 

[Nemesis_]

Oh man, the Aqua Ring looks even worse in higher resolution.

It looks nothing like that on Xbox One :/ I've got a video uploading I'll try to get caps up when I get up tomorrow.

But yeah I've done a 2:30 run with Chris. Attempting the same with Jill, but had to save since I was literally falling asleep and it's almost 1am here.

But yeah, some of those Aqua Ring screenshots are not what I experienced.

As for the new camera - while I loved it at first too - I reckon as you all start getting into the smaller areas with the quick cuts (ie. the forest paths towards the cabin, the courtyard basement) that you'll see why I don't prefer it all the time.

But yeah I think they handled it pretty well without completely re-doing and re-rendering every single scene.

The Aqua Ring... my god :| Maybe it will look better in motion (please, say it will). I remember in GameCube version there were lights reflections moving on walls.

I swear the Aqua Ring doesn't look that bad on Xbox One. Just waiting for this clip to upload to Xbox Live so I can show y'all.

 

[mattp]

Out of my curiosity : why it's not 60 fps on console? Seriously that's a bullshit.

most likely because the pre-rendered backgrounds that are looping videos run at 30fps
it'd look really weird(bad) if your character was moving at 60fps over a 30fps video

The PS4 version makes me feel like I'm losing my vision. Why is it so hazy?

 

[brau]

Anyone have any thoughts or comments on the new camera movement on some areas of the game? I'll be picking this up later this week on PC. But just want to make sure its all good.

Yeah I agree, that's what Death was originally saying.

 

[omonimo]

But why it's 60 fps on PC. I don't get this choice at all. Better to have a setting option.
