Description

 

The game that defined the survival-horror genre is back! Check out the remastered HD version of Resident Evil. 

In 1998 a special forces team is sent to investigate some bizarre murders on the outskirts of Raccoon City. Upon arriving they are attacked by a pack of blood-thirsty dogs and are forced to take cover in a nearby mansion. But the scent of death hangs heavy in the air. Supplies are scarce as they struggle to stay alive. 

 


Graphics 
 

  • More detailed graphics that retain the horror.
  • The environments come alive with detail thanks to resolution upgrades and non-static 3D models.
  • Post-processing effects like Bloom filters, which were not easy to do at the time of the original release, have been added to make the HD graphics even more realistic.
  • High-Resolution Environments - We've increased the resolution of the background environments by recreating them with a mix of high-res static images, plus animated 3D models.


Widescreen Support 
 

  • Widescreen (16:9) is supported, so players can experience a greater sense of immersion.
  • In widescreen mode, the screen will scroll. The parts of the screen that get cut off on the top and bottom will scroll into view automatically depending on the character's position.
  • You can switch the display mode during gameplay in real time.


Sound & New Controls 
 

  • High-Quality Sound - The audio has been remastered to increase the sampling rate, and of course 5.1ch output is also now supported.
  • New Controls
  • You can play using the original control scheme or an alternate control scheme that lets you just push the analog stick to move in the direction you want to go.
  • You can switch the control scheme during gameplay in real time.

The Best Remake!

Arguably the best remake ever. Improved upon the original in every way. Better visuals while retaining the art style, better controls & sound. The safe room theme is the best version of them all. So glad to see it on the GOG Preservation Program! Thank You!

The best video game remake

Almost all remakes of games and movies are utter trash and/or disrespectful to their source material but not this remake. Instead, it enhances the original vision and intentions with better graphics, controls, sound design, gameplay adjustments that objectively achieve a better result than the original; whilst also staying faithful to the roots. The plot is mostly the same, voice acting is MUCH improved and realistic, you still get fixed cameras, some new lore (Lisa) is added... just EVERYTHING is an enhanced version of the original 1996 game. This is the definitive remake that happens once in a blue moon.

A Capcom Classic, RE-imagined!

Capcom did and amazing job with this one. They took all the things that made the original so good and then made something truly great. The HD port is a pretty solid effort all the way around but you can really make it shine with a few carefully selected community mods. Can't wait to see what GOG delivers next!

A near-perfect murder

Since this remake came out, which practically improves on the original game in every way, I've barely felt like playing the first Resident Evil on the PS1. While the quality-of-life improvements in the latter have revived its popularity, the remake will always be superior, especially for those of us who know the original game by heart. For me, the only real flaw in this game is that the Hunters don't command as much respect. Where in the original they would decapitate you regardless of your health, here they only perform the "decapitation" animation if your health is in the red, and I put "decapitation" in quotes because that element is completely censored—a real shame.
