Siliconera says November 27 in Japan.

wow, that's much earlier than i thought.

 

[Korigama]

What a pity. Wonder why It's still coming to PS3 and Xbox 360. They could save that money and put it into a Wii U Version. But in the end it's a business decision.

Because more people own PS3s and 360s.

PS3/PS4/360/XB1

I don't think Famitsu has a platform tag for PC.

Wow, no Wii U? Irony at its finest.

 

[grumpy]

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!

Already own both the GC and Wii versions of it but

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!

Dear lord, please let this be a series reboot!

 

[Smiles and Cries]

nice

 

[ILHASS]

How will this even work? I thought the issue with this sort of thing was that it couldn't just get an HD remake because of how the source material was made. I'm so confused. Excited, but confused.

maybe they have source material in hd from the start..

 

[DidntKnowJack]

Holy friggin hell.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

We have to buy this if there's any hope for a RE2 remake. I shall buy 3 copies.

 

[Meneses]

Might check it out, though it's a shame they never did (and likely never will) RE2.

 

[Amir0x]

nothing scarier than walking through a hallway you've already tread

then hearing some moan


and realizing it's a fuggin' unstoppable crimson zombie! RUN BASTARD RUN!

 

[Somnium986]

Uh, it's real.

Though I doubt it'll have any bearing on an RE2 remake. This is easy money for Capcom because it's practically finished. REmake 2 would have to be done from scratch.

I'm just in disbelief right now. ;_;
One of my favorite games of all time, and finally more than just GCN owners will get to play it.

Yes I know how Capcom is. That's why I said maybe. Let me dream.

 

[Spades]

Wow, pretty stoked about this to be honest. Hopefully if this sells well, we'll finally get a RE2 HD remake also.

The original Resident Evil game is being remastered for release on PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One, Capcom has announced.

1
Due for a digital launch in early 2015, the game updates the original with 1080p visuals (for PC and new-gen consoles) and 5.1 surround support.

You'll be able to choose between playing the game in its classic 4:3 ratio or in 16:9 widescreen, and have a choice of control styles.

The classic Resident Evil control schemes remains for purists, along with a more modern style for moving characters more easily - in the direction of the analogue stick.

From its looks (via a small Famitsu image), it appears that the game will be based on the 2002 GameCube release of the game - the Resident Evil: REmake.

 

[thuway]

Images coming in .

 

[Tizoc]

I don't see PC mentioned AT ALL, can any confirm whether it is coming to PC or not?

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Holy shit, yes! I never got to play REMake so this is awesome!!

 

[-MD-]

Images coming in .

I'm not ready for this.

Spoiler

I'm so ready for this.

 

[UrbanRats]

Hopefully this means that there's a possibility of Resident Evil Zero receiving a similar treatment. It's a very solid entry that ended up not getting nearly as much attention as it would've.

To me, it was boring and uninspired, with a broken "leave objects around" mechanic, that they didn't bother fleshing out.

 

[zeromcd73]

Alrighty, I've never played Resident Evil before, but was always curious to try the series since it's immensely popular in Japan and might try it when it comes to PS4.

How is the story and the characters? Not a fan of the horror genre, but will do it for the story/character.

 

[Westraid]

Great news!

We have to buy this if there's any hope for a RE2 remake. I shall buy 3 copies.

I'll buy one for each of the platforms it releases on. I'd be over the moon with a remake of RE2.

 

[Lulubop]

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...er&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=socialoomph

Oh yes, PC!

 

[Danielsan]

PC version! Totally bought.

We have to buy this if there's any hope for a RE2 remake. I shall buy 3 copies.

People need to buy this period. Maybe this will have Capcom return the franchise to its roots, rather than the shitty action games of the past 7 years or so.

 

[catmincer]

Omg yes! I hope it sells well so we get remakes of 2,3 and cv.

 

[Mpl90]

Digital launch = DD only game. At least here in the West.

 

[Dunkley]

Super2xSaI filter for your pleasure!

Spoiler

j/k.......Don't screw this up Capcom.

Just watch them use Bibcubic and call it a day. (kidding)

What are the odds though of them just redoing the prerendered backgrounds? I know it's pretty unlikely, but at least that would solve the 16:9 woes as well.

 

[-MD-]

Everyone asking if it's good. Yes it's fucking incredible just buy and play the goddamn game when it comes out.

You will not regret it.

 

[ferrasvansen]

Ah great news, so many memories of the original Resident evil on ps1 and the remake on GC. I'm all for these remastering and HD updates keep em coming. I remember taking my ps1 to my friends house and scaring them with the original RE, they enjoyed it so much they bought a ps1 next day.

 

[zeromcd73]

Due for a digital launch in early 2015

Wait, digital only?

 

[cw_sasuke]

I'll get a cheap Steam copy for sure. HYPE.

 

[Data West]

This is probably the best Capcom announcement since... I don't even know.

I hope this does well, and we can finally get a REmake 2

 

[Aquamarine]

Poor Wii U...

Oh well, I guess I'll pick up the PS3 / PC version if this turns out to be a quality remaster. Maybe the PS4 / XB1 if I've invested in those consoles by then.

 

[expel]

PC included

 

[ArchedThunder]

So it's an HD remaster of the Gamecube game... and it isn't on Wii U... wat.
Hopefully this means we might see an RE2 remake.

 

[Hours Left]

PC version! Totally bought.

People need to buy this period. Maybe this will have Capcom return the franchise to its roots, rather than the shitty action games of the past 7 years or so.

I guess if it sells more than 6.7 million copies.

 

[Vashetti]

Digital only is annoying, but I hope that means it will have sensible pricing

PS3 and 360 come out on Nov 27 in Japan. 720p. PS4, XB1, and PC are slated for "early 2015". PS4 and XB1 are 1080p, PC is "undetermined".

 

[catmario]

What?

Thruway was right!!!

But what about nintendo exclusivity?

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Damn straight. Day one ps4 version for me!

 

[metareferential]

DAAAAMN give me those images

The Last of Us, all Halo, and THIS at 1080p in a couple of MONTHS?!

Greatest generation ever right here folks.

Oh lawwddd. Will buy this when it's <10 euros.

 

[Palette Swap]

Did anyone actually predict this in the Famitsu scoop thread? I mean, it's been one of these things that people throw around for fun for years now.

Well, their scoop was a bona fide megaton. Super excited for this.

Edit: there's a "no tank controls" option? Awesome.

 

[Sadist]

Digital only?

Maybe I'll get the PC version.

 

[Amir0x]

 

[Alfredo]

Still no RE2 remake, eh?

I need more info. Are the backgrounds still pre-rendered? Did they re-render them in HD? Did they find a secret vault that had all the original assets in high resolution? Maybe we're at a point that the backgrounds can be rendered in real time? I must know!

Edit:

Also, YES. A classic Resident Evil game finally matches the control options of RE2 on the N64.

 

[L~A]

Vita and Wii U am cry. Again.

 

[JetSetRadio]

Might be my first RE purchase in years.
Still have to grab Code Veronica on PS3 though.
