How hard would it be to open a bunch of files in a 3D rendering programming and rerender them at a higher resolution?

Well, at least there's dynamic crotch shadows.Is this a fucking joke Capcpom? :lol :lol
Who buys this shit seriously?
Remaster on left, original on right
Wasn't the same thing true for RE4, or am I thinking of another game? Most people would probably prefer it if they just made everything but the FMVs 60 fps.
In the announcement video they claim they have more or less rebuilt the graphics from scratch, but going off these screenshots, that's not the case at all. It's just an upscaled REmake with some filter applied to it.
Maybe they were talking about the original REmake in terms of building the game up from scratch? Maybe it looks much better on X1/PS4/PC? Maybe they are just bad screen grabs?

It's 1080p.

So this is the third remaster that was released on a Nintendo console which isn't coming to the Wii U I believe, their was SoulCalibur II HD, Tales of Symphonia Chronicles (which the original was the highest selling Tales game outside of Japan) and now this. And people are convinced Capcom is supporting the console, and VC so doesn't count.

They better not just cut the top and bottom off each fucking 4:3 screen!

This doesn't look that good based off the screens shown so far. And 30FPS to boot? WTF Capcom.
Looking at screenshots, it looks like the pre-rendered background hasn't been re-rendered. Looks like they've just added a filter to combat the low resolution.
But anyway, this is pretty great news. It's about time this got ported from GC. And while I prefer the tank controls, I think it's also smart they've adding camera relative controls. They would be bombarded with complaints otherwise.

It seems they use pan-and-scan technique. hahaa

I think remaster is marketing's new term for describing ports. It sounds so much better!How can they say that this is a "Remaster" when everything looks as shitty as it does on the screens?
Thought they would add more than that

I refuse to buy this sad excuse for a remaster. The worst part is though that if this sells poorly because it looks so terrible Capcom will just use it as an excuse to say that nobody wants survival horror games.

Another remaster!!!! Oh no!!
We are officially in the remaster generation! All these remasters and zero new games!
If you want to play RE you should buy the original system. Capcom probably had to cancel 5 new AAA titles to RElease this.

Capcom, what the fuck?? Just applying a bloody photoshop filter to the backgrounds and that's it?
Capcom is like a kindly old grandmother who you ask her for a Transformers toy for Christmas but instead she gets you a Go-Bot

they are, but they let you choose which way you want to cut it.
But they give you 4:3 option anyway

But then again it will go on sale for 20$, as we all know Capcom, on PSN and XBL for a port that is just an upscaled version of the original, no new assets etc. Nothing they remaster in the sense of a true "Remaster".

Now it looks even more like an easy cash grab.
I guess the limited time to release will not help the game in getting the face-lift it should have gotten.
Remaster is replacing HD as a buzzword.
As easy as pressing the 'upres' button on the 2D sprite-maker tool.

Even if it doesn't look that good I'm still excited as shit to play it for the first time. I'm sure this will be around 15 dollars anyways so I'm not mad.

Hmm on second thought this doesn't look so good. Nah, I think I'll just let my PS Vita Accessory go without this one. But hey maybe they have an RE2 remake on the way. Or another re-release of RE4.

We might need to add quotations around Remaster in the topic title.

Why bother updating when fans will do it for you. /capcom
In any case, I am one of the guys who never played the REmake so I will definitely check it out.

so yeah, this technically brings it up to 14, but it would be the 13th rerelease/remake/remaster. at least more effort went into shopping this around than re2 when it was ported to the dreamcast and gamecube.

I've been repeating this for about a minute already. I don't know when I'm going to stop.

I'm thinking the 4:3 option will be the one to pick if you're taking issue with the backgrounds.
Hard if you don't keep the files around.
No thanks on that Remaster though, I'm better off finding a Wii copy of ReMake and letting the WiiU upscale the output as a whole.

It is quite clearly more a port to non-Nintendo systems than a true remaster.
