resident evil remaster HD is real

nothing is confirmed yet but if they were going to re-render the backgrounds then u know crapcom would have stated this much in the press release. very unlikely its happening, certainly not for x360/ps3 version, maybe they do it for ps4/x1/pc because that is releasing next year. its probably too much work to re-render everything and they want to make a easy cash grab

If they don't rerender the backgrounds than the game will look like crap on a HD display. Sure, the character models will look solid, but the low res backgrounds will stick out like a sore thumb. I don't care how good their upressing algorithms are, you can't make 480p prerendered backgrounds look as good as native 1080p backgrounds.

I'll just stick with playing the Gamecube version on my Sony CRT if that is the case.

One of my favorite games of all times...easily. I will purchase day 1, but it would be interesting to see Nemesis in full hd glory. That game was intense.

Same here.

Veronica is one of my top 3 REs easily

Iv bought RE1 so many times and this will be no different. I still say Remake is the cream of the crop when it comes to RE games.Though im kinda pissed that the west gets no LE like japan.

I will be buying this for sure. If for nothing else, I will buy it in hopes they redo RE2, which is my favorite in the series. Not that I don't like RE1, because it is my second favorite.

so this is just the gamecube game in 1080p?

well...guess finally everyone gets to play it.

My body is ready

Eh, dunno what to think about this.

If it had been a disc and contained HD versions of REMake, 2, Nemesis and Zero, it would have been a day one buy, but I dunno if i'll be rushing to download this anytime soon, will probably just wait until it ends up on offer.

That said if Capcom would go ahead and do this for Dino Crisis 1 & 2, then I would love them forever, seriously these two need this more than Resident Evil.

What about this?

and

RE2 would take a lot more work and need to be completely redone for new platforms. No guarantee we get one, even if this sells well.

From what I understand, this is still using GC assets an it's not a complete remake.

Also TSHBO.

Awesome, now I just need Code Veronica HD PC port.

Here's some screenshots to compare. Looks nice.

SCREENSHOT COMPARISON INSIDE

It's a shame that it skipped Wii u. I will take fatal frame over RE any day.I guess I'll get this on the quad.

The new version looks worse than the gamecube version.

All the backgrounds are horribly over sharpened with heavily crushed blacks.

I will stick with the emulated version.

I did enjoy RE0 as well. I'm biased though as a long time RE fan since RE1 first released on PS1. I've owned the whole series since it started.

I think the old school RE elements like the controls were starting to bog down critics by the time RE0 released, but I'm going to be doing RE0 again either way. I'm playing with two lady friends and we are doing every main game. It's taken a few months to get everyone together. I'm looking forward to REmake as we've already played the original RE1 so it's going to be neat seeing the deliberate changes Mikami added to Remake and how they react to "familiar territory" lol.

I love this game, but I already played it so many times on the best version (GC). I wish Capcom would move on already.

Yuck, REmake is one of the worst games I've ever played. How people can enjoy playing with such shitty controls is beyond me.

Meh, I've already got the Definitive Wii Edition.

RE4>RE2>REmake. IMO

I still have the original copy on gamecube version. I have some itch to play it after this news.

OH MY SWEET JESUS!

Please be PC!

So they're making a remake of the REmake? :P Okay, sure, it's just an HD upgrade.

Honestly I'd be way more interested in a Resident Evil 2 (or 3!) remake. But it's still really nice to see Capcom giving their older pre-TPS games some attention. Maybe if this sells well they're do a REmake 2 or 3.

I have been playing REmake alot using dolphin emulator on PC. It's a great game, and it looks really good. With this new version I hope they add surround sound with added and improved sound effects, and some new content aswell.

But I am a bit disappointed, because most fans including me want a RE2/3 remake. Those games has soooo much potential.

@resevl4rlz: cool!

Looks to be another rushed hack job like RE4 and Code Veronica on PS3/360. People weren't even sure those were "HD remasters" at all, since practically nothing about the game was HD and it was clearly worse than other HD remasters. Nothing to get excited about here.

Those pics looks like more of the same from Capcom. Very slight bump in sharpness, but it still seems like it can't really be native 1080p. Also since they are re-composing the original 4:3 image for widescreen, you will note that we are actually LOSING part of the picture (looks like they are just cropping it from the top and bottom of the screen?). I realize this has happened with other HD remasters, but considering the lack of visual upgrade I'd almost prefer they just let us play 4:3 if we wanted to. Give us the option at least.

@2Chalupas: I was pretty happy with Resident Evil 4 HD edition on Steam. It looked great to me.

the funny thing about this remaster is that the only thing they can improve is the character models because the rest of the game is pre-rendered. They can't even make the game 60 frames because the background animations were animated at 30 frames. This will be nothing but a repacked 15 years old game with a lot of sharpening (because backgrounds are handmade with a fixed resolution), crushed blacks (to make lighting stand out because is baked) and cropped window (because backgrounds are handmade with a fixed aspect ratio). If they sell this shit for more than $10 they are just fucking with us.

If its a remaster to the state you say above then it can only be an Arcade priced title £6.99-£9.99, if it gets the Halo Anniversary treatment then it could be worth a bit more. I would rather see them remake the game using new assets, add an extra few hours of new story to it and everyone is a winner.
