I cant wait to replay the Resident Evil Remastered. I hope they keep the same saving system from the original. It was very cool using the type writer.

JoeMcCallister3538d ago

Added some tension too trying to make it just a little further. Can't wait to see how this one turns out.

solidsnake2223538d ago

I'm sure they will, those ink ribbons were half the difficulty for those of us that like to constantly save

Inception3538d ago

I already played it and yes they keep the original saving (ink ribbon + typewriter).

NukaCola3538d ago

They are more than clear form me to get the controls up to speed for this gen (That turning/piveting motion is really hard to use in this day an age. Just like the original Silent Hill and Croc), but I hope they leave the camera angles, and painted bitmap style that we loved form the original PS One days.

I shouldn't be wanting to play this as much as I do, but roll on Tues!

UglyGeezer3538d ago

Me as well, I hope they haven't tampered with it too much.

csreynolds3538d ago (Edited 3538d ago )

Capcom has already confirmed it won't just be an HD-upscale, given the original was in SD not HD, so there shouldn't be any worry there. It would appear they're rebuilding almost everything - mind you, that could just be PR talk.

Tempted to get this, but I'm kind of fond of the original's awful dialogue!

FullmetalRoyale3538d ago (Edited 3538d ago )

They changed the aspect ratio, though the original aspect ratio option is there, added the choice of movement types(tank controls or modern: move where you point the stick), obviously increased resolution, along with a camera that will say pan down with you slightly if you head towards the bottom of the screen.

Other than that, it's the same game, and to me that's the smartest thing they could have done.

Game Informer has their review of it, if you are interested. I already have it preloaded on ps4.

Very excite.

csreynolds3538d ago (Edited 3538d ago )

Okay, it would appear I've been misunderstood: when I said "rebuilding almost everything", I was talking improved background textures/better lighting etc. - not the game itself. I'm aware it's precisely the same game, with the old controls as an option alongside new ones. Just to be clearer on that...

I may check out that review, thanks. I must admit, I'm interested, but whether it'll preserve the magic of the original I had in the 90s has me second guessing. Looks amazing though!

Darth Gamer3538d ago

I will be using the old tank controls. I don't mind them at all and feel they add to the tension of the game. Plus, I read somewhere that the new modern controls make the game allot easier.

FullmetalRoyale3538d ago

I will use the tank controls as well. Perhaps in subsequent playthroughs I will give it a try. My friend and I are going to shareplay through this game, trading the virtual controller with each other periodically. He is in his thirties and has never played RE1 before.
So not only do I want to play or how I remember it, I feel he should experience the way it was his first time.

And yeah, tank controls totally add to the tenseness of the encounters.

Well, we just found out that Capcom, one of the better retro supporting companies out there, has this package with Humble Bundle full of Playstation 3 and Playstation 4 games. You better hurry and grab this one because time is running out."

If they had more PS4 games I would've taken advantage of this.

triverse2939d ago

I have to agree. I wish companies would do more porting of their previous digital only games such as Final Fight Double Impact over to the PS4. I want to get a Playstation but 3 seems on the way out and 4 is still too new for a lot of what I am interested in.

NapalmSanctuary2939d ago (Edited 2939d ago )

I wish they would port their full classic line brawlers from the 90s. Man, they made some good games back then.

triverse2939d ago

Napalm, check out their PSP Reloaded and Remixed collections. Great value for the money and full of their core retro games. I am not sure what consoles they released those collections on but I am sure PS3 and Xbox 360 were in there.

just-joe2939d ago

Or say if the PS4 was backwards compatible.

triverse2939d ago

Well, we know that is not going to happen anytime soon, at least not till people stop buying PS3 games and such. Sad. I wish it was backwards compatible too- I would buy a PS4 immediately if it worked with at least the digital stuff from the PS3.

DivineAssault 2939d ago

I wish Sony would get the licenses for all the classic arcade games from the 80s and 90s for the PS4.. I dont see why they wouldnt want to make money? I miss those brawlers like xmen, tmnt, etc.. So many great games people are forced to play on mame

triverse2939d ago

The problem with that idea is that a lot of those companies are now defunct and no one really knows who owns the rights to what game. Then in cases like X-Men, it is multiple companies involved (the engine would be Konami's while the actual X-Men license would be Marvel's) and sometimes none of the companies involved are interested in working together again for whatever reason.

I wish it would happen too though.

Resident Evil 20 years later: the many faces of Biohazard

Gamesradar:
Two decades. That’s 20 whole years of hoping this isn’t Chris’ blood. 7240 days of asking whether or not that dude actually just said “Jill sandwich.” 173,760 hours of Albert Wesker insisting on wearing sunglasses at night. You’re almost old enough to buy a bottle of whisky to go with those green herbs, Resident Evil. May you shamble for 20 more.

Resident Evil 1 PS1 =best version hands down ...Remake had some good elements but far from considered the pinnacle, not the same atmosphere/feeling, bad-hollywood copied elements (too dark, less colors, lame filters, Lisa) and Lisa story sheered negatively the plot to a completely new and poor minded direction

RosweeSon3107d ago

Yeah it was a truly great game probably why I feel in love with it on the Saturn played the directors cut on PlayStation 1, remake on GameCube, DS Version and got the ps4 version but not got round to it yet, timeless classic. Resident evil 2 was also pretty tight as well tho looked better and had a great story and setting but yeah 1 was the original and best, 2 was a close second tho. Downhill from there really, my mate came round and did number 3 in a day and I never went back to it Code Veronica on dreamcast was pretty cool and I did really enjoy 4 but it's completely different and things do need to change but how did it go from 4-5-6 to some other tripe. Same with dead space series 1 was great 2 was ok 3 was not played. Haha.
