"Since the older Resident Evil titles are old favorites of mine, I was happy to see the news that Capcom will release a remastered, high definition version of the 2002 remake of the original Resident Evil game for Gamecube. " | Explosion.com

Despite some signs of its age, Resident Evil is still as scary as ever with the remake's recent release on Nintendo Switch.
DSOGaming writes: "These past few weeks have been really interesting as we've seen some truly amazing AI-enhanced texture packs for older games. Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 8, Final Fantasy 9, Half-Life, Max Payne, Morrowind and Doom are just a few of the games that got new high-quality textures that were produced via AI Neural Networks and today, modder ‘Shiryu’ released a new AI-enhanced Texture Pack for Resident Evil HD Remaster."
I'm not really convinced by this AI Neural Networks thing using this as an example. I know you can't ask for much when it comes to pre-rendered stuff, but you can barely see a difference with most of these. At its worst, there's an imperceptible difference. At its best, you can see it cleared up some jaggies and looks a liiiittle less blurry.
I will download it of course, but based on the screenshots, this doesn't improve things a whole lot.
It does make a difference. Mods in general are just awesome. They've helped make so many of my games look better. The HD reworked texture mods and other mods for The Witcher 3, for example, made it look way better.
This may be small improvements now but it could be huge for gaming's future. AI with a ryzen based chip programmed to use the neural network to determine to the metal coding might allow programmers to focus on high level coding. That means games get done really fast and the budget goes into things like story and production. Once you have an ai that understands its given hardware it can decide how to run the code to maximize frames and resolution. AI will revolutionize gaming.
It's a step in the right direction for Capcom and Resident Evil as a series hopefully im still buzzin over the remaster news i've wanted this for a long long time.
Next game, Resident Evil Zero HD
It's just Capcom milking games.
I don't understand why it has been met with such positive reactions.
so happy for this now capcom please do a remake of resi 2 like what u did for re1 GC
The sad part is their classics all the way up to early 2000s are still better than any of the new games they've put out in the past several years except for maybe SF4, RE4 and UMvC3.
Don't get me wrong I'm still getting this and any other remasters they do but it's sad when their new games are so bad their rereleases are what's going to be keeping them afloat.
