Wait what? WHAT? An HD remake of RE1? OMG! How the hell did this news slip pass me? I literally LOVE the first two RE games. When does this come out? Oh please do it fast CAPCOM. No wait, don't do it fast. You have already disappointed me a LOT this gen. Just get this right and lets say, it'll be a beginning of rebuilding our relationship again :)

I am so hyped already!!

EDIT: Oh crap... it isn't for 360 and PS3 right?

Vgameman4574d ago

Dude.. this was released in like, '01 or '02 for the Nintendo Gamecube.

So, unfortunately it's not HD.

Still very pretty, though.

MadMax4574d ago

This was released awhile back. Its available on the Gamecube and also the Wii version too. The Wii remake is supposed to be identical to the Gamecube version, which has very nice graphics.

It supports 480p and still manages to look very nice! I still have the 2 disc Gamecube version and can be played backwards compatible on the Wii.

zeeshan4574d ago

@Vgameman: Ah.. that explains that. I wonder how GREAT the game would look if they were to remake this for current gen consoles!

Pozzle4574d ago

OMG I hope hop hope Capcom release this game on PSN with a HD upgrade. I don't even care if they make it into a lazy upscaled port. I just want PS3/360 fans to be able to play this amazing game. It's easily my favorite RE game in the entire series.

The inclusion of the red zombies was scary as hell.

Pozzle4574d ago

I kept forgetting about the one that was upstairs from the save point. It got me every time. Scared the crpa out of me. x_x

FalconR2894574d ago

I haven't played this game in 3 years and have no idea what I was in the middle of doing. Point is this game is awesome but can't remember what to do.

ignorantsonsof_4574d ago

I do that all the time, and then I just end up restarting it.

Venoxn4g4574d ago

Say what you want, but old REs and REmake + RE:0 + Code veronica ..are the best ones! :)

REmake vs. Resident Evil 2: Which Remake Template is Better?

REmake kept the original style adding new flavour and graphics, Resident Evil 2 is a complete modernisation. Which remake style is superior?

TheBrainZ59d ago

The GameCube remake was stunning for its time but the new modernisation efforts are breathing some much-needed life into the older games.

kevco3359d ago

I loved the GC remake back in 2000-whatever. But I tried replaying it recently and just couldn't deal with the door loading sequences.

Have I been spoilt by modern games? Probably.

Neonridr59d ago

tank controls just don't work in this day and age.

Babadook758d ago

I think Tomb Raider still works but RE I'm not sure.

Neonridr58d ago

@Babadook7 - imagine an updated Resident Evil or Tomb Raider with tank controls? you can't walk and turn at the same time. It would be ridiculous to play.

__y2jb59d ago

Both are fantastic but the old style controls and the half way house attempt to modernize them in remake both feel extremely dated now. Taking away your preference for the various settings and characters, the recent remakes are objectively better games.

rippermcrip59d ago

I think anyone voting for REmake is simply doing it out of nostalgia. No way a new young gamer is going to pick that over the new ones. I couldn't even get my son to play the game for more than an hour.

KyRo59d ago

Nope. REmake has a totally different vibe, feel and tension that the newer remakes can't replicate due to the camera angle. Yes the original fixed camera was used for technical reason but at the same time, they created a feeling of dread not knowing what was around the corner. You simply don't get that with a third person camera as great as the third person RE games are.

FYouDad58d ago

Depends what sort of experience you're looking for. If you enjoy the old fixed camera OG style then REmake is to me the pinnacle of the form. Incredible atmosphere, visual style and a fantastic revision of Resident Evil 1 with additions that feel completely seamless. Resident Evil 2 Remake in an excellent update (especially running with the IMO vastly superior original RE2 soundtrack) with the benefits of modern design but I still prefer the original game.. it didn't "overwrite" that experience in my mind the way REmake felt like it became the definitive RE1 experience.
