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.

Masterpiece!

Even years later, this game still looks amazing and blows modern titles out of of the water! Playing this reminds me of how good the Resident Evil Series actually is!

One of the BEST games ever made.

I owned this when it originally came out on Gamecube. I was in Jr. High, it was the beginining of summer, I knew nothing about the game... I had birthday money and the game looked cool sitting on the shelf in the store. Zombies sounded like a nice change after all the Mario I had to put up with as a kid. One of my best random game purchases. I proceeded to own this game on Wii. It is the first game I've play a game over, and over, and over, and over, and over... I own it on Steam. It is the first game I've properly 100% achievement hunted. I have it wishlisted here on GoG. There is nothing I can say about this game without being biased. This game is freaking awesome!!! And if you can't handle tank controls... skill issue bruh.
