About This Game

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.

One of the best RE games ever made, and it's an example of a quality remake. The game retains the original's eerie atmosphere, in addition to the upgraded graphics, new enemies, altered/new puzzles and controls. The new controls don't bode well with the frequent camera changes, but thankfully the tank controls are there, and you can alternate between them on the go, if you're using a controller. A must have for fans of the survival horror genre.

This is, in my opinion, the definitive Resident Evil experience, as far as the classic games go.

There's not much I can say that everyone else hasn't already. It takes everything positive about the original game and polishes it. It takes everything bad about the original game and rebuilds it from the ground up, making it good. On top of that, it adds dozens of new features and details. There's quite a bit of replay value here.

This is THE Resident Evil game to play for newcomers. It offers classic gameplay without feeling dated or obsolete. It will probably remain my favorite game of the series until Capcom releases the Resident Evil 2 remake. That's assuming they use the same formula for remaking that game as they used for this one.

Score, as a Resident Evil game: 10/10
Score, as a remake: 11/10
Score, as a game in general: 9/10

This is one of those games that's so good that you own it on more than one platform. I have fond memories of the Resident Evil franchise that go back to 1996 and with this one, 2002. Maybe it's because of nostalgia for the origina; Resident Evil games, but I seriously think this game is one of the best ever made.

In 2002 this game was seriously unreal. The graphics were insanely better and the game felt more fleshed out. I still play the original PS1 Resident Evil at least once a year, but this is definitely the better version of the two games.

For the (most likely) few people that have never played this game, it's throwback survival horror. This isn't like most modern Resident Evil games that consist of more action than horror. In this game, there are many factors that contribute to the overall sense of horror. Besides being trapped in a huge mansion with numerous monstrosities, there's also a limited number of items that can be used throughout the game. For the most part, those items are ammo and health.

Despite having played through this game and the original PS1 version more times than I can count, there are still instances where I have to carefully plan out what items I use and when. If you play as Jill, this isn't quite as bad. She gets more weapons and with the two extra item spaces, there's not so much backtracking involved. If you play as Chris, you get 1 less main weapon and two less item spaces. As a result of this, you have to carefully plan what to carry or else you'll find yourself running back and forth to item boxes.

Besides this somewhat general description of the gameplay, there are many things that make this a truly amazing game. As I previously stated, when this game was first released in 2002, I considered it groundbreaking. With this remastering, it's even better. The graphics are more crisp and there are a few more modes added to change things up.

To cut this review short, I definitely recommend it and I give it a 5/5.

Played poker tonight with Scott and Alias from Security, and Steve from Research. Steve was the big winner, but I think he was cheating. Scumbag.


May 10, 1998

One of the higher—ups assigned me to take care of a new creature. It looks like a skinned gorilla. Feeding instructions were to give it live animals.

When I threw in a pig, the creature seemed to play with it...tearing off the pig's legs and pulling out the guts before it actually started eating.


May 11, 1998

At around 5 A.M., Scott woke me up. Scared the ♥♥♥♥ out of me, too. He was wearing a protective suit. He handed me another one and told me to put it on. Said there'd been an accident in the basement lab.

I just knew something like this would happen. Those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥s in Research never sleep, even on holiday.


May 12, 1998

I've been wearing the damn space suit since yesterday. My skin's getting grimy and feels itchy all over. The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dogs have been looking at me funny, so I decided not to feed them today. Screw 'em.


May 13, 1998

Went to the Infirmary because my back is all swollen and feels itchy. They put a big bandage on it and told me I didn't need to wear the suit anymore. All I wanna do is sleep.


May 14, 1998

Found another big blister on my foot this morning. I ended up dragging my foot all the way to the dog's pen. They were quiet all day, which is weird.

Then I realized some of them had escaped. Maybe this is their way of getting back at me for not feeding them the last three days. If anybody finds out, I'll have my head handed to me.


May 16, 1998

Rumors going around that a researcher who tried to escape the estate last night was shot. My entire body feels hot and itchy and I'm sweating all the time now.

I scratched the swelling on my arm and a piece of rotten flesh dropped off. What the hell's happening to me?


May 19, 1998

Fever gone but itchy. Today hungry and eat doggy food.

Itchy itchy Scott came ugly face so killed him. Tasty.

Resident Evil HD Remake, chonologically, takes places after the events of Resident Evil ZERO.

You play as JIll Valentine or Chris Redfield, both members of a spec ops team of Raccoon city: the S.T.A.R.S. After the emergency landing of their comrades in RE:0 they went to investigate what happened to them but sadly had an emergency landing of their own. Attacked by rabid dogs they find safe haven in a mansion nearby, or so they think, ...

There is a 16/9 ratio option and you have the choice between old and new controls.

You explore the mansion for clues, trying to survive, killing what is attacking you, solving puzzles and managing your inventory since you can't put items on the ground but only into chests that"are magically connected together" (videogame logic) (after beating the game you can unlock a mode where they don't conncet and where you got less healing items and ammo, up for the challenge?)

Graphics 5/5
Story 5/5
Gameplay 5/5

Faithful Port of the Gamecube Remake - a remake of the good AND the bad that is

I really don't need to say anything about this you don't already know but here's my Two cents...

The Good - The artwork, sound, feeling and the story are just as we remember it way back then. It will still impress you visually after all these years, scare you witless and delight you with it's classy construction. In fact I would say that it has slightly crisper visuals than its Gamecube Parent and evidently a great deal of time has been spent on it.

The Bad - Unfortunately the controles, be it keyboard or joystick, are even more clunky and unresponsive than the Gamecube version was, and that was an absolute nightmare to use!! The clipping here is truly HORRIBLE meaning that by the half way mark (just when things start to get interesting) when you need precice and quick actions, such as the caves, this offering becomes quite literally unplayable.

Sorry guys but this should have ben taken care of before release.

I am very happy with this game. For me, this is a classic. Is the reimagining of a game I am fond of and I grew up with.
It keeps and enhances the original atmosphere.

If you are a classic horror savvy person, you will have already played this game. If you are new and want to try this out, it is an awesome experience for your buck.

Remakes are weird. With movies, remakes tend to be looked at with contempt and generally are as a whole considered bad films. Video games are a completely different story. This game was so freaking ahead of it's time it's not even funny. Originally released a long time ago, early 2000s I remember that much, this game came out, a remake of a game that wasn't even 10 years old at the time. This was at the time, the best graphics I had ever seen in any game. Re-released in 2015, I can say that it still is just as good as it was then. Resident Evil the game pretty much speaks for itself. It's a survival horror game filled with zombies, zombie dogs and campy giant snakes. It's awesome. From Playstation to Gamecube to PC, I've lost count on how many times I've played through the story of Resident Evil 1, but this is the definitive version of the game that I'll play for years to come.

A really good remake.

If you like survival horrors, not very forgiving games with loads of puzzles you will easily find a good 15 ~ 30 hours of gameplay. Not to mention that the game itself looks gorgeous. Love the textures. (Except Jill's eyes, they are so weird for some reason?)

FYI: I had a bit of trouble with black screens when adjusting the resolution. The solution was to turn VSYNC off.

All I can say from this remaster of a remaster of a 1996 game is that it is executed pretty damn well. The game follows the story dead on from start to finish, but the puzzles are more advanced than the PS1 Resident Evil so don't expect the complete same from the puzzels. The shooting in the game is alot harder to headshot and kill zombies then the original game. They added a lot more cool modern mechanics such as defensive weapons, were if you get grabbed by a zombie then you can stab them in the head with an antique dagger or taze them with your taser. The game's map design is pretty much the same has the 1996 game but with some extra rooms installed, the advanced graphics can make it harder to tell where you are but it looks awesome. But in conclusion this game is worth the whole $20.00 that you have to pay for, if you like the original Resident Evil then this game is for you!
9/10 Love the survival horror genre

Recently played through this game it was an ok experience. I've never played it before.
Not a scary game but more a puzzle game and get through the story to find out what have happened.
The sound was very fitting for the game with its effects.
Could easily be played through with KB+mouse. I know people say that controller is prefered but for me it worked fine with KB+mouse.
Do I recommend this game for somebody who has never played it? Hard to say really. Gameplay is ok. Story is ok. Puzzles are good. There is nothing that jumps out, WOW GREAT GAME! I can understand the people who played this when it came out to have a different feeling for it.
I will recommend it more for it is an ok game with nice puzzles.
