No, of course not. They would have had to re-do the backgrounds to allow for that.
Personally, I would like to see them attempt to match those backgrounds in realtime and add a moving camera to the mix.

Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
REMake still the best classic RE, needs an HD remaster.

For a game that wasn't about the shooting, it sure had a lot of shooting.
I love classic RE for all the same reasons you do, but I'm not kidding myself about how badly those games were broken. Advancing in that control scheme was about adapting to a system that remained awkward, no matter how long you played it or how well you mastered it.

Not even gonna lie, if they remade RE1-3 with the camera and controls of RE4, I'd be super happy.
You'd lose the beautiful prerendered backgrounds, but damn I'd much prefer a more playable game if it meant sacrificing some graphics.

You'd also be left with very boring gameplay.
Opinions are nice.
RE4 is objectively better then what came before by way of not being broken.
Not what I meant, I implied that RE4 gameplay shoe-horned into RE2/3 would break both. I've seen people complain about Zombies in RE6 being boring enemies, I doubt slower Zombies with less mobility would help that.
I think you mean subjective, considering you're completely wrong.
Wavebird Type C R-Trigger to run = best controls ever.

You're thinking way too literally.
Actually, it's been something that's been passed around as an idea since 4 was released. It has never seemed viable unless you drastically change the structure and balance of the games, which is not what the successful remake example people hold up did.

And you are objectively wrong, congrats!
Uh, the other games aren't broken either. Objectively. I like RE4 the best but calling the old games "broken" is pure nonsense.
No, in that it's a fact.
The control is entirely about adjusting, with trial and error, to shooting angles that make no sense. It's like mastering the flying in Superman 64, only the rest of the product is better.
Hmm. Nope.
I'm sorry that you're not able to wrap your head around the objective controls in the old games rendering you unable to enjoy a few masterpieces, but that doesn't make them broken.
protip: up is always forward no matter the angle. No adjustment needed.
No, it most likely has to do with the pre-rendered backgrounds.

Well to be honest, an open world survival horror game isn't completely out of the question. Just look at STALKER.

It's meant to be a random element. You're supposed to leave some zombies alive in anticipation of the crimson heads.
WTF. Damn you Nintendo, just so you could start selling them back to us I'm sure.Not GC disks
I think Nintendo said it was because they didn't want to add support for GC controllers.

Wait, this was re-released on the Wii? I've never got to play it.
EDIT: That has to be the worst cover ever, hahaha.

If you don't want to deal with Crimson heads just juke the zombies. The crimson heads aren't much harder to dodge either.

Do any other classic RE game have the analog support like RE2 on the N64?
Yeah itsn't out the question, that's the problem. Anyway RE isn't a survival game anymore so...

I still prefer RE2 to REmake.
Yes, even the original PSOne version.

Not a bad choice. I loved both. They're both very close, IMO. The dual scenario campaigns were so good. Oh, RE, what happened?!
Crimson heads were a shock and terrifying, though. The moment the first one rose me and my friend crapped ourselves at the thought that all the previous zombies we killed are back in a super form.
you could end the game with a fucking knife. you could pass zombies and enemies if you wanted. so no, there wasn't allot of shooting.
in re4 you had too kill enemies otherwise the door wouldn't open. difference.
they should release resident evil 3.5.

In THEORY, if Capcom saved all the files they could easily re-render the backgrounds out at higher resolutions. Much like what Pixar does for their 3D re-releases, or the re-release of the first 2 toy story movies in theaters. That all depends though on how much of the raw files Capcom backed up and such.
*edit*
Not contradicting or saying you're wrong about Dolphin and such, just that they could make a full new game with less investment than some other stuff.
*edit 2*
It also wouldn't be hard for them to re-render it in a wide screen aspect ratio, again depending on how many assets they still had.

An HD re-release on Wii U might be a possibility. I'm pretty sure Nintendo still has some kind of exclusive rights to REmake and 0.
The RE1 levels from Umbrella Chronicles used full 3D version of the REmake backgrounds, so they must have the files around somewhere.
Making the game widescreen would be pretty easy when they're re-rendering the scenes, but it might mess up certain camera angles (showing stuff that's not supposed to be seen). These angles were hand made to be in 4:3.

Were those really based on the same CG assets though? I don't think you could run those raw assets in full 3D on a Wii.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
It wasn't. Which... I'm not sure how they'd introduce that into a game with prerendered backgrounds. Even if your Wii was set to widescreen, it'd still just give you a 4:3 image (though I think it was a scrunched image that you would then stretch out with your TV, because the Wii's widescreen support is bootleg garbage.)

Is there some sort of secret agenda to have every topic on the first page be about resident evil?
However, yes, I support this topic

The REmake is still a great looking game. Mostly due to the pre-rendered backgrounds and incredible artistic direction.
I'd like to see RE2 get the same love and care that was put into the REmake.

I would be fine if they left the backgrounds the way they are with black bars on the sides as long as they actually bring this game to PSN and XBLA. I need to play it again.
I have a bad feeling some exclusivity contract with Nintendo is preventing them from doing that though.

REMake isn't the best of the classic RE games. RE2 was. REMake just looks the best out of the older games, and is at least a close second to RE2. If any game needs an update, we need to see REMake 2. Like they were initially planning...

REMake was technically the same game as the first with just minor editions and obviously much improved graphics, which enhanced the atmosphere. If you played the first and second games though when both were new, it's quite obvious how much better the second was. It upped everything that was in the first; enemies, atmosphere and especially the gross out creature morphs. Plus it had more interesting characters. RE had the more memorable cheesy lines though.

Is the HD remake of Code Veronica on PSN largely unchanged from the DC game? I totally forgot they released it, but now I want to check it out.

Haven't played the one on GameCube. Is the camera/ controls as shitty as the original ps1 version? That game wasn't even playable to me.

Just the simple fact that you can start either side of the burning truck in RE2 is amazing, more modern games need to offer that kind of thing.
