9 PM Pacific Steam unlock.
how does this run at 4K on your 970?
Top tier for sure, freaked me out when it first came out and I'm sure it'll freak me out again.

It's not even close to the types of PT. REmake is still very much like other classic RE games just with much improved graphics and darker athmosphere. There are a few jump scares but they are earned and not annoying.
A first impression video posted earlier in the thread seemed to suggest that it doesn't offer 4K support, or anything past 1080p. Of course perhaps they just had a janky config.
I haven't pushed it over 1080p, but I'd imagine this will run like a charm at any resolution. Fanto did report he was unable to go above 1080p even with DSR enabled, I haven't done any testing myself.
Very little jump scares, all atmosphere so far. You are just alone with the quiet of the mansion.
There are a couple of jump scares in the whole game, maybe 5-6 or something off the top of my head. Its not littered with them, but they are there. Its mostly atmosphere.

There is nothing about the HD version that is deal breaking right? I heard about blurry pre-rendered backgrounds but they don't look super horrible right?

You shouldnt have any issues.
Do it.
Im not telling you that you should buy it.
but you should buy it.
Thanks for the replies. I guess watching the gameplay footage didn't do it justice (didn't seem too scary from watching them). Gonna preload tonight and start it tomorrow.

Preloading.
Resident Evil was one of my favorite video games of all time. This is what I've been waiting for since the late 90's.

It's really not that bad in terms of scares.
With that said, it's extremely tense in my mansion right now as I have crimson heads and hordes of zombies running around all over the place. The difficulty really ramped up.

Oh I was going to buy it regardless. If nothing else I hope sales are strong and convinces Capcom to go back and make real resident evil games again. Not that mindless action bullshit they slap the RE name on.

Remember when I had my original Playstation one of the games that got repeated play alongside Castlevania Symphony of the Night and Metal Gear Solid was Resident Evil. Although I am pretty sure I put more hours into Resident Evil 2 once it came out. lol
Anyway I remember hearing about the talk of Remake for Gamecube and being excited since I enjoyed the first game so much being a fan of zombie horror movies. Even more so once I saw the first screenshots along with hearing about how they were expanding upon the game. The fact that disposing of the bodies mattered unless you got a lucky headshot made things fresh and tense even for someone used to the series.
Looking forward to playing this again and happy this classic is being released for people that either missed out on it or like me who have missed it.
I also echo the sentiments of other people in this thread and Jim Sterling in his review who entertained the idea of Resident Evil 2 getting a remake like this. Not sure if it would ever happen but seeing what was accomplished in Remake makes me think if the same effort was applied it would turn out pretty darn good.

Can you play this remaster using the right or left trigger or the second analog stick for walking/running? Cause that is the only way I could ever enjoy tank controls (and tank controls are essential to games designed around them). A single analog stick the worst possible way to implement tank controls, dpads are only slightly better, arrow keys on a keyboard are a bit better still, but an analog stick for turning and an analog throttle for moving forward actually works pretty well.

I just don't believe for a second that the Capcom who brought us REmake would give us nearly anything we would want from a REmake 2, and you all know it.
Isn't revelations basically modern Capcom's attempt at older RE?

Prelocked and preloaded, this is going to be my first time going through this game (though I watched a friend beat it back in the day and I got about an hour or two into the Japanese Saturn version a few yeas ago). Really looking forward to it. I've been replaying Revelations recently, I'm curious to see how this compares.

Tomorrow work is going to be long. But I'll probably be streaming this. Never played it before.
solution:
hire platinum to do the remake, with kamiya at the helm
after that, hire tango and have mikami direct resident evil 7

Yes, but they did a Japanese dub for this version for the first time. I think anyway.

Revelations just uses characters from the RE franchise and narrow corridors and calls it a Resident Evil game. It's nothing like the classics.
They created a brand new Japanese dub for this re-release, as it has become standard for the last several Resident Evil games to now have a Japanese dub as well. He's probably just wondering if the NA release has it, I'm gonna say that's a big "NO."

The first Revelations did carry over some aspects and parts of it felt way closer to "classic" RE, but then it shits the bed with a ton of shooting range bullshit. Still, I wish they would take the better parts of Revelations that felt horror driven and claustrophobic and run with that.
edit: on the Xbox One store page it says it won't unlock until 3am EST
