Resident Evil HD Remaster confirmed for PS3/PS4/360/XB1/PC

Not particularly. Downsampling really shines when games are natively rendering 3D assets. With the prerendered backgrounds, you are just stretching the image.
Get the PC version for the modding potential.

what about 2 3 and 4?

I liked the type C, where you basically use the right trigger like a gas pedal if that makes any sense. For some reason Capcom took it out of Zero though. I think the N64 port of re2 had full 3d analog controls but I always wondered how that would work with all the quick background cuts in these games.

Here is the issue I'm having with the lighting here, and in games like RE5. Look at the Hall of Mirrors. In the original shot, it's musky, dark, and has this heavy atmosphere to it. Now take a look at the 'remaster' shot.
Bright, clean, and rather nonexistence in presence if it weren't for the shiny spears.
Lighting is great, but its been used oddly in the past few RE games (and looks to be again).
Edit: Then again, things are darker likely due to limitations.

Yay I guess. It will be nice but no one was asking for this.
It will be funny to see a bunch of people complaining about how they have to change the direction of where their character is heading every 3 seconds when they play with the modern control scheme, that will be a mess.

Anyone got a link to preorder the limited or collectors edition? Will a shop like play-asia stock these editions?
Hopefully this rerelease finds success and Capcom puts a small team on a REmake 2.
Hopefully go PC/current-gen with 3D backgrounds rather than pre-rendered.
A remaster of RE4 is not necessary. The recent PC port is excellent. Even brings back,some graphical effects that have been exclusive to Nintendo hardware and 60 FPS.
Oh no another shit pos- OH WAIT! It actually has a very good opinion with valid points and criticisms. Excellent! Yay!
Just kidding. Your post was shit.

Three years ago, Gamasutra wrote an article titled "Where Games Go To Sleep: The Game Preservation Crisis". It was released in three parts (you can read them here, here and here. It is a great read and a recommend it to everyone.
In the process of writing that article, John Andersen, the author, sent questionnaires to multiple video game comanies. Capcom was one of those companies and one of its employees, Ben Judd from Capcom Japan, answered it. Here's the transcript:

Will DL when/if it hits $20 or less.
I love REmake, but unless there is a wealth of new content to this 'remaster' (I doubt it), I'm not going to take Capcom's bait.

The character models definitely look much better. But I feel like I prefer the REmake backgrounds then the Remaster simply because the Remaster looks as though they applied a massive sharpening filter to it.

Pre-rendered backgrounds + fixed camera what are they "remastering" exactly? Isn't this the easiest remaster?
I was just talking to my buddy over at Capcom and that's likely going to be the price. Also, digital only. Get your import pre-orders in now, people.

A beloved game that was only ever available on two Nintendo consoles? Lots of people were asking for this, just check out my LTTP for it, or any 'HD remake' thread.

They'd be mad to release it at more than $20. Even if bundled with RE0, I wouldn't pay more than $30.

Wow, didn't expect this.
give them time is due to be released on early 2015. Check in couple of days, sure play-asia and the other major import retailers will get them.

Whats hilarious is that they have to blur the 3d model so it doesn't stick out that much. Lmao.

I just hope if this does well Capcom so a RAmake 2.
I took a shot in dolphin, cropped it, added noise like they seem to be using, and change the hues to be a similar color. This is all stuff that would be pretty trivial to do real time in game.
It seems like they're adding a LOT of contrast to the backgrounds. What used to be noticeable details before is now flat blacks in this new HD one.
The character's textures seem much improved though.

When I read the title I actually expected this...and all threads before of people asking for a Remake HD ended up with " too bad Capcom will probably just upscale the background, but I would be ok with that I just want to play that game again"
now that we have that, people actually expected a remake of a remake...pls

I noticed something. It looks like a new basement map was added. Just look at it.
Wii port running on Dolphin
"Remaster"
It looks like it was drawn by a 3-year old on a cardboard. It might as well be emblematic of this entire project. lol

*Hope Intensifies*
Glad that they are doing this, now I'll finally be able to do a FULL playthrough of this one on my own (shared saves with brothers back in the day). Would have liked a remake of 2 or even a remaster of Outbreak 1 or 2 with fully functional online, but I'll take this as well, some good old REAL survival horror.
I absolutely expected that they would re-render the backgrounds at at least 1440x1080, but ideally 1920x1440.
Yeah, there's some scenes which looks very different in atmosphere. But if I were to choose, I would definitely go with the new graphics. I especially like the new character models.
I hope there's other improvements too. For instance, please let me skip door animations!
I'm very sure that's an item which is picked up in my screenshot, but not in the screenshot of new version.
A DVD upresed to a 1080P display is still a DVD.
This is going to be a case of displayed at 1080P*
*only models rendered.

The remaster looking real good.
Hype rising.
C'mon.
Well, I think I'll wait for the release to judge the graphics, but they won't stop me to buy this masterpiece.

This is awesome news. Tried playing on Dolphin but constantly had weird audio glitches and crashing.
My PS4 is ready.

It beats the pants off 5 and 6 storywise as well as fright factor. Fighting wise, 5 and 6 are vastly superior action wise, but I would have like to seen some effort given to incorporating good old fashioned puzzles in some areas. 5 attempted to do that in some areas, but it was lacking what the earlier games.
That being said, I would rather have something new added to the series that incorporates the more interesting stories (to me personally) of the original trilogy and to some extent code veronica (with a dash of 4) plus some nice puzzles thrown in for good measure and the superior combat that 5 and 6 brought into one nice big package that would be Resident Evil 7.
I don't want another rehash of the remake. I played it plenty on the gamecube multiple times and loved every second of it. At most, they should have kept it as is and released it as a $4.99 digital classics port on all the major platforms.

they're ps1 games. You can't just up red the assets. They have to be completely remade. No way they do all that work for one release imo.
Hopefully this does lead to us finally getting an re2 remake.

REmaster looks cleaner than REmake; however, the balmier air in REmake's images lend to a heavier permeating, oppressive atmosphere.

I'm not sure what they can do with this on their smartphones though.

I'm hoping the game doesn't look too clean actually. I know HD brings crispy visuals but part of the charm of Biohazard on CRT was the infidelity of non-HD graphics mixed with CRT imperfections. It fit the game well.
There's kind of a grainyness to that kitchen area that I remember liking a lot. I'm starting to think the GC version on CRT will be the best version of the game visually.
