    Yo dog, we heard you like Resident Evil, so we are doing a remake of a remake.

    The 2002 GameCube version of Resident Evil is getting an HD remake. Announcement vid is in the link. Boom.
    http://www.polygon.com/2014/8/5/5970...remake-changes
    Capcom announced that it's reviving the original Resident Evil on a new generation of consoles, but don't look for it to be a far cry from the game's last revamp in 2002.

    Speaking in a video recently released the publisher, producers Tatsuya Kitabayashi and Yoshiaki Hirabyashi said that they were trying to avoid messing up a good thing as they rebuilt Resident Evil.

    "We have been very careful to preserve the original atmosphere of the game," Hirabyashi said, "and are ensuring that no unnecessary changes will be made. The tempo and flow of the original game are an inherent part of its scary atmosphere so we have made the decision not to disrupt this tempo."

    The bulk of the changes will, of course, be graphical.

    "When it comes to graphics, we didn't just want them to look better," Kitabayashi said. "We have taken the game apart, polished up all the different elements and carefully reassembled them in such a way that its original atmosphere shines through."

    Resident Evil will launch (again) in 2015 on Windows PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

    Ooh awesome, I hated how it was only on the Wii/gamecube. This is even better with an HD edition.

    Missed out on the Gamecube version, and neglected to pick up the Wii port of it, so I'll be nabbing a copy this time.
    Spoiler: show
    Will get for PC, since Capcom has a hate-boner for games that'd work perfectly on the Vita


    Only ever completed the PS1/DS versions of the original.

    Spoiler: show
    Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced Resident Evil for PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system, PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft and PC. Resident Evil will be available to purchase digitally across North America and Europe in Early 2015.

    The hugely popular Resident Evil series, having sold over 61 million units to date, returns to its roots with a remastered version of the critically acclaimed masterpiece, Resident Evil. Originally released in 1996, Resident Evil was then “remade” in 2002 from the ground up with new visuals, gameplay elements, environments and story details while retaining the survival horror atmosphere the series had become synonymous for. Both fans of the franchise who want a trip down memory lane and those who have yet to experience the game that coined the term survival horror for the gaming world will appreciate this definitive re-visit of that iconic 2002 Resident Evil title.

    Using the latest resolution enhancement and 3D model technology, game resolutions and textures have been significantly upgraded, including 1080p support on next-gen consoles, resulting in characters and backgrounds coming to life in greater detail than ever seen before in Resident Evil. Not only will the graphics impress but the tense sound effects have been fully remastered with 5.1 surround support for a greater gaming atmosphere. Players are now able to choose not only between experiencing the terror at the classic 4:3 ratio or a stunning 16:9 widescreen mode but also the type of control scheme they play with. The classic control scheme remains for fans of the original play style or there’s an alternative scheme where the character moves directly in the direction of the analogue stick, utilizing the standards of the current generation of gaming. Both the control scheme and the display options can be toggled between at any time during gameplay.

    The intense horror fans first experienced with the release of the original Resident Evil is back. Taking place in the now notorious Raccoon City, players will choose to take on the role of either S.T.A.R.S. (Special Tactics and Rescue Service) team member Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine, who have been sent into the city to find the missing Bravo team. When the team is suddenly attacked by a ferocious group of mutated dogs, desperate for an escape they take shelter in the Mansion, but will they ever get out alive again? Players will need to be brave as they adventure through the dark, enclosed spaces searching out the horrors that await them. With limited ammo and survival items available gamers will need to keep their wits about them to survive the various traps and puzzles that greet them at every stage.

    An actual remake from the ground up would have been better than an upscaled REmake. Yet I can't get over OG Jill and that chest.

    Wish they'd remake 2 and 3 instead. Which now that I think about it, I don't think I ever actually beat 2..

    Seriously, why do they keep remaking the same damn game when 2 and 3 are just as good (fuck it, 2 is better) but hardly ever get attention? I would give my money on a remake of anything other than 1.

    Capcom dumb.

    I'd pick up the game if they added some extra content aside from a remake of a game I've played too many times. Obligatory "wheres the WiiU version?". I wish they made a WiiU version and gave it some of the nifty stuff Code: Veronika had on dreamcast.

    If they remade 2 or 3 I would literally throw dollar bills in the face of the Gamestop employee as I preordered the fuck out of it and danced back out of the store.

    This isn't a (new) remake, it's an upscaled port of gamecube RE1 with some filters slapped on. Basically free money with no risk. Completely different ballgame from investing a bunch of money to do an actual remake.

    I would love a remake of 2 so much. I don't mind this at all though, I loved this game and never got a chance to play the remake.
