Really now?
And all I did was randomly click page 8. All of these are from a single page, there are a hell of a lot more in this thread. So yeah, shut up.

How in the fuck is that possible for one of the biggest gaming companies in the world? Even my local company keeps more than one backup of each file, texture, 3dmodel, script, etc...
I refuse to believe that capcom doesn't have the textures or the 3d models used to render the mansion, come the fuck on
There are numerous stories about how Bluepoint Games, e.g., or the internal team at Konami had problems with the ports of their assigned games. Reading between the lines of interviews with them, it is implied that nobody could find the actual gold-release source files for any of it. So they had to reverse-engineer the retail discs, because the asset drops from the companies were so unreliable.
I suggest it was endemic to how Japanese companies were run in those days.
Yep. Albert is actually going around Spain and finding the original architecture used in the RE4 textures. They were all low-quality or extremely compressed photographs with almost no work done on them. Albert is shooting them in high resolution and putting those textures back into RE4 for PC. This is typical Capcom practice. Now, there are probably a lot of companies doing this, but I believe most don't take this to the extremes Capcom's artists do. I mean, given just what Albert has found by himself so far, do they do any actual drawing at all?

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.
I've been trying to get this to run on Dolphin with limited success. So I'm excited to play a tweaked version of this gem. For those who never played REmake - you just saved yourself the cost of the game+GameCube.
I mean, the hate is a little surprising to me. From announcement to release is going to be about 6 months. Capcom is not going to essentially start from scratch on pre-rendered 16:9 native HD graphics for a 15 year-old commercial failure.

Meh, I have already played this game to death. Not interested.
Is this the new RE game teased by insiders?

If that is true, I guess I'm not buying. I'm not going to support digital only releases for big ip/franchises. No, but thanks. Quit being cheap Capcom.

It sold 1.35 million for GC's ~22 million userbase, how much do you think it's going to sell to Wii U's smaller userbase? Especially considering, that horror games, like REmake, RE0, RE4, and Zombie U, have never sold as well on Nintendo platforms as they have elsewhere.
RE4 sales doubled when it went back to the PS2, and RE5 sales more than doubled on the PS3 compared to the RE4 sales on Wii, eventhough the latter had a larger userbase.
The REmake is clearly made for a new audience, and platforms where it's likely going to sell better.
Woah, impressive tech in the linked video!
Well this video is just straight up witch craft.

I have an agenda because I don't like the fact that a classic game is being shit on visually for a quick buck.

You're paranoid. As I've said I'll remain on the fence until we hear more info, but I can see why anyone would be displeased with what's been shown so far.

The timing on this couldn't have been more perfect. Was about to play REmake recently and now I can just wait for the PC release.

That sharpening/upressing filter thingy is pretty nasty.
I was super excited for the PC version.. Now I don't know. I'll probably get it when it's sub 10 dollars.

Players are now able to choose not only between experiencing the terror at the classic 4:3 ratio or a stunning 16:9 widescreen mode but also the type of control scheme they play with.
Yeah, I somehow missed that in the OP. Thank goodness!

Never finished the original. guess I have no excuse not to now.
You don't need a GameCube or Wii/U to play it anymore and it's remastered in HD?

Video can -potentially- be easier to restore because you can "copy" detail from earlier/later frames. You can't do that with stills.

I actually just started a playthrough on Dolphin a couple weeks ago but I'm gonna hold off on finishing it for this.
Yep. Looks great!
Has this been posted?
Ok that's pretty neat, pan & scan! I'll probably just stick to 4:3 though.

And cut off a big chunk of the original image. Unless that's intentional?

Unfortunately, the labs, Neptune area, the kitchen, and the helipad are likely the only ones to come out looking that great. Looking at the other shot from the post you quoted from and much of the other shots in the mansion using soft, yellow lighting, there's going to be some inconsistencies.

Awesome, Wii U 3rd party support is dead so no surprise with that.

From the comparison on the site, it looks like they took the original 3D files and re rendered them at 1080p. As long as they have the original source files, it should be easy to just change the resolution and re-render. EDIT - Upscaling wouldn't reveal the pockmarked texture on the candle holder, it would be a blurry mess.
What a deceptive image. Here is the texture as it appears on GC/Wii.

Actually, its a quick cash grab upressed port.
So noo... they did a fucked up thing.

Oh no, somebody has negative first impressions, what a nefarious deed!
Like, this remaster looks like the bare minimum changes, which make the game look really bad. It's not a good port because they fucked with the color and contrast, and it's not a good remaster because none of the backgrounds have been "remastered" in any way.

It's actually disgustingly common for companies to make the "before" shots in comparisons for remasters look much worse than they really did.

You can disable the cropping and play in 4:3 so that's ok. If a proper remaster cannot be made all I want is the original images untouched. I'll be adequately happy with that.
Shitty upscaling filter... no.. just no.

Stopped supporting ≠ boycott. I still played some of their games, like RE4+5, but I waited for the prices to be halved, at least. Now, that the game which started it all is coming back home, I have no reason to pass on playing it.

Oh....it's a cheap remaster...I knew it was too good to be true...oh well, I'll end grabbing it on PC.

More people enjoying it, is a bad thing?
From what I gathered, his agenda is to have a better class of remasters for everyone. I understand and symphatize with both sides of the argument. To have what is perhaps the best resident evil game ever made on our modern and relevant consoles so that we can once again enjoy this classic is a great notion. Then again, 40 bucks isn't exactly cheap and since this is a remaster and not a remake, the graphics are the selling point and so far they don't really impress.
