[Mariano]

Capcom had announced a HD version of the Resident evil 1 remake (The one for the gamecube) for all the consoles and even PC:

Now I will see how "Big" is the fanbase that want a resident evil survival horror, the ball is in your court now...

To be fair, a re-release of a remake (which has already been re-released before) isn't really a fair yardstick.

I will probably get this on PC when it's on sale though.

Yeah. This is second time the game is being remade excluding Director's Cut, and the Gamecube remake was highly respected. Since then, as far as I understand nothing has really embraced the survival horror roots of the classic Resident Evil titles, not even segments of Revelations or RE6 Leon. Capcom refuses to make another game that is "classic survival horror" RE.

It's...a little conservative but I guess it makes sense. major Japanese third party pub/dev are getting even friendlier with PC. Few months ago that RE4 PC port was announced, now Tekken 7's main dev platform is PC which is a pretty consistent base. Resident Evil one of their bigger franchises. What blows my mind is that they're making it for PS3, PS4, 360, and the One. Five platforms. I know there's a lot of work that's done already, like planning and art and music more or less, but that's crazy. I wish that Capcom just stuck to PC, One, and PS4.

I know but this your chance guys to prove Capcom what you want in a resident evil game, they are not going to do more than this specially when there are not in a good time with the money.

If this HD Re-release and even The Evil Within don't sell well, I can guarantee you that all the claims for making a "true survival horror experience" were made by 400+ people or less. And also Capcom will have the benefit of the doubt.

Or maybe it's just that one is a second re-release of a remake that every fan and his dog already owns and has played, and Evil Within looks like dog-shit.

Capcom or any other company will never have the benefit of the doubt, what are you saying? that a company was right and the fans were wrong? that a group of fans will admit their mistake? not in this life my friend  ...

Did we forget about Aliens: Isolation as a survival horror game? Regardless we shall see. I liked the Gamecube remaster but I already played the living shit out of Resident Evil... I dunno if I need to play it again.

The thing about Alien I, is that the name of the game helps a lot, that was one of the reasons in my opnion of why SEGA choose the Alien franchise to work with it in the last couple of years, is a very popular IP, so the name itself can guarantee you a lot of sales.

1. RE series for the GCN can not be redone no matter which way you prove it. It has been shown with the Wii ports and the PC ports as well. REGCN games are GCN specific.

2. Fans are stupid. Back when RE4 was out. All the PS2 cry-babies were doing the same thing. I am waiting for the PS2 game. The PS2 game hit the shelves. Shinji wanted to commit Samurai Suicide. Instead he cut his hair ( which is a common thing among failure in Japan? The person who ported
Strider to PCE; shaved his head after admitting it was a failure of a port ( good but fail to strider people ). Bottom-line Capcom porting this and that is because they need money.

3. I am playing the RE Saturn game as I type this ( or last time at a save ). That is how things are nowadays.

4. The way I see things if Capcom wanted to release an RE game. Their is RE1.5 ( which never had a true release ), and RE4 ( that was cut by Shinji himself to create the beauty that is RE4 ).

5. About that dog in RE4, it was a cameo for another game on the PS2. Available in Japan only???

6. Capcom is dead to most people. Everybody splitting up. Shinji remarks, and all of these things.

7. I am a fan of games but right now it is beyond insanity. If you have been keeping with "RegalSin News" you can find through the web. If they can port an RE game, they could certainly release another megaman game. So far their has been 3-4 MM games ( unofficial but still great games ).

8. Their is a PC version of RE2. I wonder if that will get an HD remake as well. Anyhows in order to truly enjoy HD games, you need a big display that can run big resolutions and make them super sharp and crispy. I play mostly on a 20" display. I can see the crispy detail with HD resolutions but not making a difference.

9. About detail in RE games. They were for the GCN they were beautiful. Everybody said the same thing.

10. About fandom. If the original PS2 condemned the RE4 games, then why not the Gamecube people. I will admit PC is the right choice for all games nowadays. For that low-intelligent/high-impulsive consumers ( what we were ), the consoles are their. All we need to do is sell a computer and call it a console and call it a day. Everybody just upgrade accordingly; but even that is too much for the average consumer we once were. Speaking of which if we released the MarkIII ( Japanese Master System ) in the west; with all the attachments; would you think people would break the FM unit faster nowadays???

Things back then were special unlike nowadays.

The problem with a "survival horror game" is defining a "survival horror game".
When someone trying to explain that "type" of game or categorize any concept, you will soon realize that  it is working in the same way like the "Blast Processing" ads. I can guarantee you that.


Capcom really invented "that genre" whit his first installmente about SWAT teams in a B-moviesque scenario in a mansion with traps and all kind of grotesque stuff and surprises where there is a complot behind the scenes about illegal biological experiments and you soon will find an arsenal to resolve that situation like resolve a problem with a bazooka aimed like a professional.

[George]

Oh I agree with Capcom making the name popular and all that stuff, I just think the game is a little late. I do want to see the way it looks on PC because even in low resolution the GCN version looks gorgeous.

As a huge RE fan I am pumped about this HD Remake. I've played the shit out of this game, but would definitely rebut for Xbox One. I just wish we were getting a legit retail release though

[ROJM]

Another remake huh? Of the same frigging game... Its no wonder Capcom is having financial problems...
