Haha, Capcom releasing something that is regularly done via Dolphin and calling it the "latest resolution enhancement and 3D model technology" when it's really just an up-res and with some new textures. The marketing bollocks is insultingly strong with this one. And I guarantee you that they'll be lazy with the new textures, too. They were with
RE4, which is a mess that the famed
Albert and Cris now have to clean up
I cannot help but laugh at the cheaply HQX-filtered, gamma-adjusted backgrounds (the telltale sign is the massive, roundish pixel smoothing of the
interpolation algorithm). The original-resolution assets are either gone, which would indicate terrible archiving practices, or they're too lazy (no way was that the original resolution of the assets the artists drew them in). Now watch them simply press the auto-remix button for fake 5.1 audio. I would not be surprised. Throw in some of the easiest-to-program, most standard features around and you're good to go.
Looks like Capcom's history of lazy HD ports continues. I would hope, though, that they're merely using this to gauge interest in a REmade
RE2 and
RE3.
