Resident Evil HD REMASTER
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.

9.5/10
One of the greatest horror games of all time becomes even better

9/10
It was something both nostalgic and fresh, instantly familiar but teeming with macabre surprises and twists, keeping veterans guessing while giving newcomers a terrific reason to dive into the Spencer Mansion for the very first time. Everything that made the original Resident Evil a success was kept in, while almost all of the dated elements were overhauled and improved. It's good enough that Capcom can actually get away with remastering it and only earn sideways glances from yours truly – and that's saying something.

8/10
Resident Evil does a good job of updating the look and feel of a classic survival horror game for a new audience.

Great Game. Great Survival Horror.
Firstly, I am heavily biased since I love this game, but I'll do my best to keep things neutral and objective. TLDR: Great game, some jank, I'd reccomend you try it. The puzzles are rewarding and the atmosphere is also great. Tbh, the most offputting thing to many may be the fixed camera angles. There will be a few times where this may be pesky, but it's worth it if you like everything else. Full Review: This first of all, for a first time playthrough, can actually be spooky. Not jumpscare spooky, but actaully fearing what's around the corner, what's next, budgeting your saves. All in all, giving you the "survival" in survival horror. The game effectively pulls this off without sacrificing other QoL features or breaking your immersion. This is absolutely cheesy in the best of ways too. The characters are likeable and, to an extent outside the cheese, believable. I like them, both protagonists are great, and this version of Jill IMO is one of the best. The gameplay itself is a mix between some combat, puzzle solving, and logical backtracking to solve said puzzles. Mapping out the environments, and figuring out how to progress. The game rewards cautious explorers the most. The music and sound design is also great, and only helps further deepen your immersion and amplify the moment you are in. This also abso-LUTELY has replayability potential. There are a good amount of achievemnts to hunt for, and some fun extra side modes. The only achievement that's gonna be a pain in the bum honestly is the knife only one. For the love of Jill-sandwiches please play as chris for that, he has extra knife damage. Don't make the same mistake I did. I don't want to spoil too much, but if your in for satisfying puzzles, well functioning tank controls, great atmosphere, great spooks, and replayability. This is a must have! So glad it's here now. Thanks GOG dudes!

Best Remake In Video Game History.
I first played Resident Evil Remake on my brother's ye ol' GameCube and enjoyed it, despite prefering RE2 & RE3 over the original 1996 release. Of all the remakes of the original Resident Evil trilogy, Resident Evil Remake is the best of the bunch. Same creepy B-movie atmosphere, same familiar story, same two playable protagonists, but now with a few new interesting plot twists, vastly improved* graphics, some challenging and clever new enemy types, some cool new change ups to the environmental puzzles, and support for modern gamepads. With Resident Evil "HD" Remake you also get widescreen support at 720p and higher! *The art style of RE1 Remake has aged like a fine wine. A great example of a clever art direction.
