PSCD Games has just released another trailer to the upcoming Resident Evil ‘demake’ Bio Evil. This is a project that’s been worked on for a few years and there’s even a playable demo available: https://pscd.itch.io/bio-evil

Impressive work, very reminiscent of the actual game, even though I have only played the GameCube version (so the visual difference is even larger).

It looks great. It reminds me that crazy russian Commandos port of early 00s.

 

[Alexios]

Awesome. Would have easily patreoned if it was a new game like RE, I already know what happens in RE and this looks so close like an official GBA port or something (yeah I know the GBA tech demos had actual 3D Resident Evil 2, this seems like something that would have actually been developed at the time rather than just a tech demo to showcase an engine). It certainly looks like a way better and more liberal translation of the game than what Capcom tried with Resident Evil for the GameBoy Color! The mansion looks way better than other areas, I guess that's the most complete and detailed part of the game yet?

Not to be unkind, but it looks crap. The megadrive could do far better.

I guess that was quite unkind.

Maybe in side scrolling or top down stuff Genesis has plenty gems that look better but in actual isometric style plenty great games didn't look particularly detailed.


Other that have larger/better sprites have other clear limitations in other ways too.


Anyway they could certainly do with adding more detail to some of their backgrounds but it's not too bad for the mansion, other areas like the one with the chopper definitely look WIP. They also show progress in those videos, in the one with Jill you see a mesh circle shadow and in another one with Chris you see a proper sprite shadow.

Remind that GBC RE version.

 

[JohnSpartanLee]

Looks spot on in my opinion. Amazing work!

 

[Airola]

Oh wow, that looks awesome!

 

[Daniel Pacheco]

Wow has a demo! Thanks IbizaPocholo

Cool, one of my favorite games ever.

Wasn't there an official GameBoy remake at one point?

yup gbc and its almost complete,
if you have a gbc flashcard you can play it on og hardware.

I want this really bad on cart. Someone here on GAF told me about it a few months ago. Looks amazing!

 

[Ellis]

Looks fantastic. Nailed it in my opinion.

Music is a bit shit though. Arrangements of the OG soundtrack made with the Yamaha YM2612 would be perfect, but I understand that would be a big ask.

Oh, so it never actually released? That'd be cool to check out.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

It reminds me of Inside Outing on the C64.

Russians are pretty good at making old games.

This is sick as HECK! Given the slower-paced, more exploration and puzzle-based nature of RE1, the gameplay seems like it flawlessly translates to this isometric design.
