Resident Evil 1 Remastered

[Jimmy_Jazz]

You have to remember that simply re-rendering the game's backgrounds alone wouldn't have solved that blurriness on medium distance & foreground objects. Alot of the blur comes from the filtered textures that were designed for working with 640x480. Capcom would have had to create higher res textures for every room to solve this. Although it would have been fantastic if they did.

I think there's an amusing irony in that originally 3D models in pre-redendered games stuck out because they were lower detail and the backgrounds rendered at a higher res then downscaled to create smooth edges but with the REMaster it's the characters that are higher res that the backgrounds.

[Don Piano]

There was bound to be a few problems when it comes to the backgrounds, Still buying it though.

So in theory since the PS3/360 versions are 720p, would these artifacts stand out more on the PS4/X1/PC versions because its in 1080p?

The upscaled backgrounds are awful and the new controls are goofy but aside from those it's a good remaster. It's just a shame that either CAPCOM were too lazy to just re-render the backgrounds with original assets (or render the whole game in 3D-HD instead), or simply don't have those assets. Either is believable.

[Jimmy_Jazz]

There is a third option: Capcom didn't want to spend the money required to get Artists re texturing and modelling the majority of backgrounds. But we'll never know.

I can't say it looks awful though, just disappointing that Capcom didn't take it to the next level. Higher res textures would have been great but it's not like discovering the GC REMake just upscaled the original's backgrounds.

Frustratingly the most recent dev blogs shows a room that's been rebuilt for the REMaster, but it's not clear if the room was rebuilt from scratch or re-rendered from the original assets.

[Deathlygasm]

I'm only disappointed with the lack of extra features... The remaster looks great however!

[Rick Hunter]

But let's see what they've done anyways

Yes let's see.

they remastered the character models

They only updated some textures.

were able to configure widescreen support

You call cropping a picture widescreen support?

fixed the framerate

No, they fixed cut-scenes stuttering.

recreated some animated background objects

That's a good thing, but we don't know how many.

improved the lighting

In a lot of shots the lightning is actually worse and shadows are missing.

added costumes.....

That's nice but nothing impressive.

and some of you are acting like fucking 5 years olds spamming this thread with your whining. Grow up.

You're like those people who mistake constructive criticism with whining. You don't want people to express their opinions, AND you call them nazis because you don't agree with them.

You're a plague and people like you should be permanently banned from these forums.

I really hope this sells very well.

[Kaine]

Backgrounds and questionable lighting aside, it will be nice to play this again with 5.1 audio and in widescreen. I never beat real survival or invisible enemy mode in the original, so it's time to correct that.

Where does he call people Nazis? I'm not seeing it.

[DarkSpyda04]

anaho : I dunno. But I don't think Capcom can change the background that much anyway. They even went as far as recreating the crypt in full 3D because they couldn't improve the lighting as they wanted in that area.

Zey did? I didn't see it.



Also, the guy doing the voice over for the Capcom producer sounds like that swirly-glasses scientist guy from The Simpsons XD

I gotta say that a lot of you guys are greedy. It's nice to want but there's a bit too much wanting. Rather, you should be content with what you have and then celebrate when something good comes up. No bloody manners. Ya'll need some good ol' fashioned discipline *breaks out the whip*

They only updated some textures.

They swapped the old models with HD models. That's called updating.

You call cropping a picture widescreen support?

Camera scrolls. Nothing gets cropped.

No, they fixed cut-scenes stuttering.

Exactly.

That's a good thing, but we don't know how many.

Doesn't matter how many. They took the time to do so.

In a lot of shots the lightning is actually worse and shadows are missing.

Lol

That's nice but nothing impressive.

Wow. The pessimism is strong here.

It's nice to know you're just a troll that I don't have to take seriously anymore. And telling people they are wrong to think this game looks good is NOT "constructive criticism" as you put it. Wouldn't refer to you as a nazi if you didn't act like one hounding this thread with your nothing but negative comments of "this looks like shit" spam, which is also not "constructive criticism" . If anything it's you that should be banned for your negative and pointless spam.

You know you're not allowed to have an opinion if its different CODE_umb87, whats wrong with you? Get out of Rick Hunters foru- oh wait thats right.

For an "HD remaster" coming out in 2015, the quality is poor. This is to be expected with Capcom I guess given that to them, an "HD remaster" usually just means having the new engine render the game at a higher resolution. Both RE4 HD and CVX HD had minimally touched-up textures and it appears the same for this game.

I do whut I want!

If they had the original assets, I'm sure they would've done something better than this, but still this remaster looks million times better than the washed up wii version played on any hdtv!
