Original Resident Evil Getting Re-Remastered for Xbox One and PlayStation 4
I haven’t been awake for 15 minutes, and I’m already cleaning coffee off of my computer screen. All because I did a major spit take, spewing java and joy, when this news came over the wire. The original Resident Evil is getting remastered again, and it’s coming to consoles and PC.
The game will be based on the 2002 GameCube remake but will update the graphical output and display the visceral viscera in full 1080P on current-gen consoles. Last-gen owners will still see a quality visual experience at 720P.
Add on the 5.1 surround sound support, and this new look at a classic is veering into must play territory.
Graphical updates aside, developers have added new aspect ratio options to reflect modern gaming advances. Players can choose to play the game in its original 4:7 aspect ratio or select full 16:9 widescreen.
The static camera, a source of much frustration, has been axed in favor of a dynamic, moving camera; and the game’s very clunky controls have received an upgrade.
The game is releasing as a digital download sometime in 2015 for PS4, Xbox One, PC, PS7, and Xbox 760. Wii U users will be left out of this update on one of the greatest horror games ever made.
2015 seems like the perfect release window for this game. Series creator Shinji Mikami is releasing his new game, The Evil Within, on October 14 and is said to be returning survival horror to its roots, focusing on survival rather than action and gunplay. After playing The Evil Within, gamers who missed out on Resident Evil the first two times around will get a chance to see exactly what he means. You don’t beat Resident Evil… you survive it.
