I haven't seen a single one that looks legitimately higher res. I think it's just a case of some being better upscaled and filtered than others.

Guys, a few questions:
1. What's with the contract Capcom had with Nintendo about the exclusive rights for a remake back in the GameCube days?
2. I thought the backgrounds aren't available anymore and they only got the backgrounds in the GameCube resolution?
GAF I need clarification!!

Holy black crushing Batmen.
1) There never was a contract.
2) These backgrounds are just upscaled and retouched versions of the GameCube originals.

1. There never was a contract, just a verbal agreement. That's also why Viewtiful Joe, Killer7 and RE4 were ported so quickly. Mikami made the call because he was bitter about the PS2 and the GameCube was the only other real option, since the Xbox was a joke at the time.

Yes the plants have been remade although I have no idea why.
edit: perhaps most easier seen on the plant on the left. In the original its leaves are growing upwards. In the remaster they are growing downwards.
This is really strange.

I've been wanting to replay this for a while. REmake is one of my favourite games. Can't wait. WIll get it on PS4.
How are you fighting the game. The damn controls are the fucking same as Bio4.
"Do I want to go forward?" *press up on D-pad*
"Do I want to turn left-right?" *press left-right on D-pad*
"Do I want to walk backwards and Quick turn?" *press back or back+run on D-pad/controller*
The fixed camera angles don't change this. You're controlling the character. The camera doesn't factor in.

They have no choice. It's like stretching an Instagram photo to fullscreen size and trying to compensate for the blur with their high-contrast, too sharp "HD" setting.

Would be awesome to play this for the first time again. Hope this does well.
Oh god can you imagine playing this with that awful filter the Xbox One used to have.

No it can be used for progressive material as well. I processed like 20 videos with it a while ago and I can instantly recognize the effect. Watch it in motion here :

This is the original 512x448 image from the original GC game (saved in jpg):
This is the upscaling/filtering/postprocessing Capcom did:
This is a quick and dirty but also somewhat sophisticated, upscale I did:
They look similar but Capcom seems to have additionally processed the upscaled images to remove compression artifacts. Take a look at the windows for example.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
You can clearly see details have been added, the swords on backwall aswell as the fireplace now have detail, the right side wall has a pattern on the wall now whereas before it didn't, even the wallGIF version
lamp on the far left is now visable instead of blurring into the background, same with the rest of the images Capcom has done some tinkering, wonder what it looks like on PS4? or even natively on PS3?
I don't think these screens are doing the game justice, is there a trailer yet?

This is one of my most hyped PS4 games. I've never had a chance to play this and I started watching the game informer playthrough but with the announcement of this I'm going to stop watching and go in fresh the first time. I will shit myself due to crimson heads.

All I know is that I need this in PC because my GCN and Wii won't last forever.

That gif doesn't do the Dolphin REmake shot justice at all. Plus they've removed a depth of field effect. So of course the remaster will look like they've added detail.
Look here.
Those things were all speculation.
The GC version has a Depth of Field effect applied, which explains the less visible detail

That and Lisa Trevor is about all I know. When you meet them for the first time or anything I don't know. I've done a decent job not spoiling too much over 12 years.

Dolphin:
HD Remaster:
I can't spot the depth of field effect or Jill's shadow in this screenshot. But maybe it's just a poor quality screenshot.
Gonna buy it, and I encourage all of you to do the same, if only just to send a message to Capcom. REmake has never been a huge commercial success.
The backgrounds -on their own- don't have DoF. It's added by the GC/Wii/WiiU in real time. The effect seems to have been removed in this new version (just like it happened with RE4 on PC/360/PS3).
Straight from the GC disc:
Notice in some ways it looks closer to the "remaster" compared to the realtime post-processed image the GC/Wii/WiiU produces.

Theoretically? Remake them from scratch. Practically? "Slightly better upscaling?"

I can't believe I'm just hearing about this now.... Oh my.... It's really going to happen.....
REmake coming to PC > HL3.
I said it. In a perfect world we'd have both.

What is this?
Theoretically they would be able to do whatever they want, which means replacing them with any other background images - be it better upscaled/filtered original backgrounds from the GC version or something completely different.
Why? PS4/XB1 can't run games in higher resolution, and probably because of in-game logic they can't up the framerate, so it's set on 30fps.

If it looks as good as that with DF on PS4, I'd be happy.The backgrounds -on their own- don't have DoF. It's added by the GC/Wii/WiiU in real time. The effect seems to have been removed in this new version (just like it happened with RE4 on PC/360/PS3).

Someone, as a fan project, is doing a "remake" of RE2 in Unreal Engine using assets from Darkside Chronicles.
Yes the plants have been remade although I have no idea why.
edit: perhaps most easier seen on the plant on the left. In the original its leaves are growing upwards. In the remaster they are growing downwards.
Holy shit that's a nice find !
Forest (that's his name?) has been moved to the right.
The plants' have been replaced (the one on the right was aliasing even in the original version).
I can't tell if this has been done using image editing or if the actual pot and herbs have been altered in the original 3D scene file.
I would go with the former.
I did some quick digging in the orginal GC files and the other find was this:
The mansion was textured with close-ups in mind, they used very high-res textures for the time. It's basically a CG movie of the 2000-era.
I thought that maybe they tried and there were too many artifacts because the source material wasn't of enough quality, but no.
What this means is, rerendering wouldn't bring about too many artifacts of whatever kind(even if it did they could just upscale the source textures instead ... but I guess that's too much work). The source material is high-res itself. Just look at the material applied on the "S" shapes in the garden and the level of detail even when the viewpoint is really close to the chair.
This is really maddening because we get upscaled images that are retouched by hand instead. Well I guess we should be happy it's getting ported.
Background-wise, this is nothing more than a quick job (for now ?).

This game is on a very short list of the best games of all time, if you haven't played it already, then you really need to.

Interesting.
If you ask me, this isn't just another cash grab port. This is probably the most important port these guys have made, in terms of gauging interest in what consumers want the Resident Evil series to be. Forum posts and Twitter complaints mean nothing if sales figures don't match the message.
I actually wrote about why this port should be supported (granted it's well made)

That looks so poorly made and fake. Jeez.

Man these gifs really get me excited for an RE2 remake.
I remember playing REmake on GC back in 2002...and thinking to myself "Surely RE2 is right around the corner!!' :/
But maybe it's a good thing it's been so long, if the original remake was able to pull off those still stunning pre rendered backgrounds, I can't imagine what a modern team could pull off. Not to mention possible Crimson Head/Lisa Trevor style deviations from the original. RE2 being as scary as the remake would be remarkable

But you aren't fighting the controls, you're fighting your willingness to try things that are unique.
I simply cannot ever stress this enough. The controls of classic RE are not difficult or cumbersome, unless you're unable to reverse left from right depending on your perspective, which I'm sure you can if you try.
Good job, I'm surprised by how similar it looks.
For what it's worth, I think this is going to be an excellent port.

Animations are locked to that frame rate, running the game at higher resolutions will only stretch the background images further.

fake as shit
No one knows that the animations are locked to that framerate, and I severely doubt that they actually are.
The only thing that would be locked to that framerate would be animated backgrounds, which make up a pretty tiny portion of the games environment. Even so, your character moving at 60fps across a 30fps background isn't even that weird.
In RE4PC the 30fps reload animation stood out because it 30fps animated character, who is usually 60fps in a 60fps world.
In REmake it would be a 60fps animated character, moving across a 30fps animated section, who us isually a 60fps animated character moving across a completely static section.
