J4MES OX4D 9,979 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 http://uk.ign.com/articles/2014/08/05/resident-evil-1-getting-remastered-for-ps4-xbox-one-ps3-xbox-360-and-pc The original Resident Evil is being remastered for PS4, XB1, PC, 360 and PS3 and will arrive sometime in 2015 as a digital download. Sweet Love them to do 2+3 and Code Veronica also. Not a fan of the new ones as they are more of an action movie now and have lost the tension and atmosphere that made the originals so good. Great news! BO7H B4RRELS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madjonny 386 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 The only ones I remember are RE3: nemesis, loved that game... And the one on ps1 with the light gun, survivor maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerBurge 2,375 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I will definitely pick that up. I really hope they redo 2&3 I remember the first time I played this game it was late at night. All lights were off in my room and those damn crawlers or whatever they were called came crashing through the window. Scared the shit out of me.

BO7H B4RRELS 2,451 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 The only R.E. game that I truly loved was the first one, so I'm really excited about this. I'll definitely be playing it. J4MES OX4D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason 1,245 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 This is pretty sweet. Hopefully they don't try to charge me 50 bucks. 2 was my favorite, I remember my mom actually went through the whole game with me. She loved watching it.

J4MES OX4D 9,979 Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 I had the original for the PS1 along with Resident Evil 2 and 3: Nemesis. Didn't get Resident Evil Survivor which was of the 'Time Crisis and House of the Dead' era. Then went on to Code Veronica on Dreamcast before finishing up with the Remake for the Gamecube plus Resident Evil Zero also on the console. Loved the original and its remake so I'm delighted about this. The second one was the best in the series though for me. The save system with type writers and needing ink ribbons made the game really challenging on how and when you save your progress. I'm sick of all these 'checkpoint' based games these days as all you do is move forwards and repeating sequences until the AI is depleted and you've reached a specific point that the level determines.

This! I enjoyed the game so much because it was difficult. I remember running around with only a bullet or two and trying to figure out how in the hell I was going to survive. That's what I miss about it. I felt like I had to try to survive. Not just reach the next checkpoint. J4MES OX4D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just reach the next checkpoint. Haha same! I remember on the original I stupidly used up a ink ribbon soon after saving prior and then had to play for about an hour and a half whilst battling lots of zombies and solving a couple of puzzles along with collecting lots of items and I kept dying. I must have reloaded my memory card so many times trying to get through that part all for the sake of my careless pacing. Eventually did it about a week later but it really altered the way I played those games after that. Ink ribbons were gold dust in that game!

GazzaGarratt 11,006 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Love this thread! Will definitely get these when they are out...actually loved watching this game being played rather than play it but the challenging factors in this game made it a thoroughly enjoyable experience. 2 was my favourite with separate Leon and Claire disks.

J4MES OX4D 9,979 Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Resident Evil HD Remaster coming out on Jan 20th and will cost £15.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaGarratt 11,006 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Thanks James. Do you think there's any chance of it coming out as a hard cd copy like they've done with infamous son first light? Don't particularly like downloadable versions.

I hope so but at this present time only the PS3 version has a physical copy and that's for Asia only. The current import price for the multi-language version with RE branding as opposed to Biohazard is £129.99 Certainly makes the £16 digital copies look a much more attractive purchase I really hope they do box it like we saw with Minecraft going from digital to physical but I wouldn't expect it anytime soon sadly.

Ah well, keeping fingers crossed over the next month. I really do think they'll sell more copies of RE if they do have hard copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil bottle 9,721 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 The fact that I can remember every single bit of a game I haven't played in 20 years says a lot about said game. And my memory is absolute shit. On my steam wishlist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played the Resident Evil reboot on there which is where the PC HD Remaster stems from and it was mindblowing back then so I'm really looking forward to playing this on Steam. Hopefully they'll remaster Resident Evil 0 (Zero) which was a Gamecube 'exclusive' back then too - few rumours suggesting this might happen also.
