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.
Features
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 & Controls
High-Quality Sound - The audio has been remastered to increase the sampling rate, and of course 5.1ch output is also now supported.
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.
Reviews
"Resident Evil remains as odd, unsettling, and unforgettable as its setting, and the HD remaster only emphasises this." 9 / 10 - VideoGamer
"With all its technical upgrades and incredible attention to every little bloody detail, the mansion looks magnificent and the game fulfills its purpose in reminding fans why we fell in love with this series in the first place. Sure, I do miss the campy live-action intro (who could forget the suave, Val Kilmer look-alike Albert Wesker slicking back his hair?) from the original PS1 version." 4.0 / 5.0 - Twinfinite
"Resident Evil HD Remaster is survival horror but surprisingly as good as you remember it. It could have used more work in the porting department though." 7.5 / 10.0 - GamingBolt
“The models look great, especially on a high-end PC with all of the settings jacked up.” 9.5/10 – Destructoid
“One of the greatest horror games of all time becomes even better” 9.5/10 – GameInformer (print)
“This is the perfect opportunity for comers to jump in, and hardcore fans can look forward to the definitive version of a survival horror classic.” 9.3/10 – GameTrailers
