Resident Evil 1 HD Remake

The controls on the original ones sucked but the survival horror and atmosphere is so more advanced than any of the current or last gen RE games.

I hope this sets them back to the old ways of doing things with the series.
 
No bad pc port...no bad pc port...no bad pc port...



Wait. Has there ever been a "good" pc port of a console game?

"From what we’ve seen so far, the in-game assets seem to be based on the 2002 Gamecube remake".

If you haven't played that one you need to.

Give 'em time, it'll inevitably happen.
This is CAPCOM you're talking about here - come on. :D
They are the kings of remakes/retreads/rehashes/re-re-re-re-rereleases.

Well 2 and 3 were re-released for GC but they weren't remade. I doubt they will remake them like they did for 1 and release it for PC.
 
nice to see this, but I would prefer the playstation originals. Might as well do Code Veronica as well :D I ran the gamecube remake through Dolphin a couple years ago as well, it was excellent, but still prefer the originals. Good times! The GC remake is already perfection in its own right, a remake of it isn't even needed imo.

All of the hard work was done years ago for the Gamecube. They are only upsampling the graphics for modern consoles and probably adding better lighting and AA. It would be a lot more work remaking RE2 and 3 for modern consoles because they would be starting from scratch.

Capcom probably thought that people saying they want RE to go back to what it used to be meant that people wanted them to re-release the old games.

That said I will probably buy this. REmake was excellent and I'm all for playing a better looking version of it with different control schemes.

I don't think thats too far from what actually happened... lol
BUT..... now that I think about it... I've never actually played the first Resident Evil, completely. (I had the DS remake, but it was stolen before I could make any significant progress.)

RE2 was my first PSX game, way back in 98.
I should do myself a favor and pick this up on release.
 
hum, it runs like a boss on dolphin, with aa, af, whatever resolution, and every kind of kb mouse controller etc.. well, heres hoping that it isnt just a shitty GC port, if good = me buys
 
now i saw the video.. damn, HEY YO! CAPCOM! REMAKE THEM ALL YOU GOONS!! :)

I hope they do. Be great to have all the RE games on Steam and to just see 2, 3, CV, and 0 looking better than before. There is only so much an emulator can do with Code: Veronica and nothing can make the two PS1 titles look good these days.

agree on code veronica. you can perform real miracles on re 2 & 3 on the epsxe but nothing can make code veronica look really good, it should be the next one to remake, oh i do hope so, i do!
 
Sweet, I'll definitely be buying it, it's my 2nd fav RE game. 4 still wins the series for me.
 
In addition, players will be able to choose between two different control schemes. You can play through using the original ‘pivot’ controls or you can use an updated, modern control scheme in which players move according to the direction of the analogue stick.

Modern? :rolleyes: Sorry-not-sorry, but forward always being forward to where your character is facing makes more sense and is less confusing when you have to make quick decisions on how to maneuver when your character is slow and when you're working with fixed camera angles. That's my opinion, anyway ;).
 
Good news, or at least I hope the final product will be. Now if only they do the same for RE2, 3 and Code Veronica. I mean, they've done it for RE4, I don't see why these titles shouldn't receive the same treatment.

There's an extremely high chance that Capcom lost the source code and/or assets for these games. Barring that; the other reason companies don't do this is because they don't feel it is the most profitable use of their time.

An HD remake/remaster/new version of Resident Evil 2 would be a bigger deal than HALO coming to PC for many many many many PC gamers.

Capcom damn well knows this, so the latter part of your statement doesn't hold water.

It's more likely, as someone else joked, they have them already made and housed in a case labeled 'in case of emergency - break glass'.
 
You all do realize that the original masterminds behind RE2 and RE3 would need to somehow be involved in remakes, else risk them absolutely sucking? Or maybe all you care about is "High Def" visuals?

Are you the same people funding all the CGI-infested Hollywood remakes when the originals are in fact 10/10 and need to be appreciated for what they are (just like RE2, RE3 being more like an 8/10 IMO)?

The main reason REmake is so good is because Shinji Mikami, creator of the series and director of RE1, was at its helm. Imagine if all they did was just change the visuals like most people want them to, without actually improving the game? There's little reason to spend lots of money remaking visuals for RE2 if you're not going to give old fans a better reason to revisit it (unless, of course, you're one of those people who just loves spending $$$ on the same thing over and over because the new version is "shiny").

Order of RE greatness:

REmake > RE2 = RE 4 > CVX > RE 3 = RE1 Director's Cut > RE 0 > RE Lightgun Games > RE Handhelds > Resident Evil Movies > Silent Hill Games > Silent Hill Movies > Playing Outside > Dying to Zombies > RE 5, 6, and soon to be 7. The quality took a nosedive after 4, mostly due in part to Shinji Mikami ditching Capcom after they announced RE4 for PS2. REmake was supposed to stay a Nintendo exclusive as well, but looky now...

Play the 3DS port of Revelations for the PC (or on console or 3DS if you want). It's not worth the $50 its selling for on Steam ATM - but it's been on sale for $11/$12 a few times. Would be worth $20 IMO. It feels very much like the old school games in terms of atmosphere/suspense/enjoyability. It's tied with RE3 IMO.

And It's the only game I've broken my opinion of 'if it ain't zombies- it ain't Resident Evil' (as fun as a game RE4 was - and the fact it has Leon - it still ain't Resident Evil IMO).
 
Haha, I've always felt the same way about RE4! I thought it was just me, so that makes me feel better :D

For all intents and purposes though, it really is a 10/10 despite its kinda being "Resident Evil: Action Movie Edition". I think the only bad part of the game is that Leon got boring. He was an interesting character in RE2, before he become Mr. Secret Agent Action Star.

I just wish it was a spinoff, because it's about as scary as going to the grocery store -_- (tied with RE 0 for least-scary-but-good-anyway RE)
 
Oh, and just to point out - you put REmake as being greater than Resident Evil 2. That's literally impossible, nothing trumps RE2. :p
 
So they're overhauling the graphics but what about the voice acting? Resident Evil had some of the worst voice acting of all time. Did the GameCube remake fix this?

I've almost shit myself numerous times getting decapitated via chainsaw in RE4. :eek:
And the Regenerator/Iron Maiden enemies give me the creeps.

It's not just an 'HD texture pack' - it's a completely remade game of the original's story/plot. So, yes. It's superior to the original in pretty much every way; except for nostalgia/spawning the franchise. It just didn't get a lot of its due love because of its GameCube exclusivity.

Though, people who complain about the original's voice acting/script writing - are probably the same people who say Big Trouble in Little China is a bad movie.

For what it's worth there was already a PC port of RE2 and I don't think it sold especially well.

Capcom is a public company intent on making money. They have shown that they are quite willing to milk every cent out of their franchises (SF4, SSF4, SSF4AE, USF4). If it was obvious they'd make bags of money by remaking RE2 for PC they would already be working on it.

Haha, it just comes down to preference like anything else. They're both 10/10, but the fact that REmake is so much more than just a "remake" really impressed me. It's on the same level as Metal Gear Solid and Ninja Gaiden in terms of revolutionary remakes that actually surpass the original (both visually and artistically)

Both directors are amazing but different. I see them sort of like Ridley Scott (Mikami) vs Tony Scott (Kamiya):

Shinji Mikami (Director of RE1, Dino Crisis, REmake, RE4, Vanquish, The Evil Within [October 2014])

Hideki Kamiya (Director of RE2, Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, Okami, Bayonetta, Wonderful 101, Bayonetta 2 [October 2014, as Supervisor])

There are plenty of people who weren't PC gamers/primarily PC gamers then, that are now. Whether they played the PS1 back in the day exclusively - or weren't even born yet. And what I said before still stands even with taking into account the PC port, that came out just short of 2 decades ago.

Yeah - I was just having fun with ya :p

The REmake was superior to the first in so many ways; and is such a great, great game.

But to me, 2 is the 'Terminator 2' of the series.

Haha, funny you should say that. I've always thought REmake plays a lot like watching Alien (directed by Ridley Scott), whereas RE2 plays a lot like watching Aliens (directed by James Cameron, director of Terminator 2). But just like those two, even though both are perfect 10/10 movies, Alien > Aliens

Okay, getting too nerdy in here :eek:
 
I fully endorse that opinion - it comes down to if you like ALIEN or ALIENS better. :D

We're both speculating on the demand for an HD/Remake RE2 product. You obviously think it's much higher than I do. I have already made an argument that there is evidence the demand isn't there (capcom's own inaction).

Here is one of Capcom's own people say there isn't enough fan support to do a remake http://www.gamespot.com/articles/resident-evil-2-remake-possible-with-fan-support/1100-6397240/

(from a 2012 interview):
"Just to lay all the cards on the table, that way there's no rumor-mongering or things like that, no, we are not working on a Resident Evil 2 remake as of now," Hirabayashi said. "But if the fans really clamor for it; if there's a groundswell of support for remaking that game, then I think that's something Capcom would take under consideration."
 
Hmm... Another remaster of an old game? :( But, given the game, it's excused. Excellent game, and I'll be buying this for sure. RE was one of my favorite games back in the PS1 says. I'm looking forward to this one. :)
