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.

Really enjoyable experience and nothing really to complain about. The problems I had in Resident Evil 0 were non-existent in this game. Only really got annoyed at the movement and the camera angles but it was very few

Resident Evil HD remaster is a visual upgrade to a 2002 remake of a game that originally released in 1996, so from something that old I expected to come across issues that I'd have to ignore with an excuse of it being

Resident Evil is a strong survival horror game that does a great job of building tension and atmosphere. It takes the core ideas of the original and enhances them in a way that still feels intense and memorable today.

Pretty good game. The mansion just oozes atmosphere and the camera angles definitely add to that. I just wish the other remakes at least had an option for fixed camera angles. Only real downsides are the story and voice

one of the few horror games to actually scare me. (others being silent hill 3 and re9) Play it if you haven't. Stop looking at reviews and just play it. It's amazing.

Great game. Did not enjoy much at first because I kept dying, but that made me want to prove myself and keep exploring the mansion. This game is incredible and fun, remember, every bullet counts
