Hope this paves the way for superior Resident Evil 2 HD, seems unlikely given there's no REmake2

You finish the game on hardest difficulty and get a trailer for REmake 2...believe.
I don't understand why people think this.
The vast majority of the game is static backgrounds. 60 fps will be character movement against static backgrounds.
Even the animated backgrounds are rendered at 30fps (assuming they dont, won't or can't rerender them). On the animated backgrounds it's just your character moving more smoothly across a moving background.
There's no reason why it should be THAT jarring.
Nope, they remade everything in 3D for both Umbrella Chronicles and Darkside Chronicles.
At first I was like ''What?''.
Well played!

Yes. I honestly don't understand the hate. Also 4:3 aspect all the way.

Did they? They are obviously lower-poly but I thought they were based on the high-poly original assets. Do you have a link? I can't seem to find anything online one way or the other.
Edit: I'm talking the RE Mansion only. The Darkside stuff is definitely remade.

I'd definitely like to play this again but whether I buy it on day one or not will depend on how much effort Capcom put into the 'remastering'. If it was Resident Evil 2 I'd be throwing my wallet at the screen right now.
I want a complete remake (from scratch), but it seems all we are getting as of late is more and more HD remake bullshit with a minimal amount of work put in.

That's a good question.
Since the changes seem to be mostly aesthetic, I assume it would still be there.
Well, it's not all that complicated, REmake is all about a 3D model running around a flat pre-rendered background.
Umbrella Chronicles is an on-rail shooter with EVERYTHING in 3D, so if we exclude some stuff like the doors (maybe?), pretty much everything probably had to be redone.

I'm a little confused by the screens. If try to play this on my 16:9 1080p monitor, am I going to have black borders?

It's finally happened.
A remaster of a remake of a game.
Not saying I'm not excited

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.
Remaster looks noticeably better to me.
Question for people importing......how are you going to read Japanese ( are we hoping Capcom allows an English option?)
Capcom tried with Revelations. It bombed on WiiU hence no remaster for WiiU. If you want to play Japanese and Western third party games get a PS4 or XB1.
No. It will crop down, and the background will scroll with you as you move around.
Sort of like this, but of course as you move, and smoother.
Not just remade, but some parts are also redesigned if I remember correctly.
The game has such a great OST.
Some of my favourite tracks:
Neptune Tank
Guard House I
Macabre Hallway
Main Hall
Revelations bombed on everything but the PS3, thanks to strong Japanese sales.

This is a day 1 for me. I don't care if people are hating on this for not being good enough for them.
It looks great, and tons of people never got to play REmake. This is great for people like myself who never got to experience it.

How do you lose the original assets? How does that happen?

I love the RE series save room music, but I don't know how you can find it relaxing! To me it does such a great job of embodying this tone of 'you're safe for a moment, but you won't escape the horror'.

From PS3 HD version.
If direct link do not work go to 01h16m40s
Large capacity hard drives were expensive, failures, lack of forward thinking, and general incompetence.
I would lean towards the latter going by the release date of REmake. The price issue was more frequent during the 90s.

Oh god just listening to these gives me the chill and the creeps... damn that Macabre Hallway so freaking freaky
It happens.. the game was developed in a very very long time, it's normal for the assets to get lost, same thing happened to Kingdom Hearts 1:

Nailed the expression!mr teaspoon said:
Wouldn't it be more annoying using the new control scheme? The angle changes and suddenly "up" is different. Rather than North always being the same.
I'll pick it up on a Steam sale
Yup. Did like ~10K on the WiiU compared to 50K on the PS3.

There was a glitch in the Gamecube version where you could game the item storage system and end up with a grenade launcher with infinite incendiary ammo. I hope that's still there in this version--it's the only way I could ever beat the game!
I'm a scaredy cat and this made the game crimson-head free.
It's been a while, internal server movements, faulty backups, no archiving at all, carelessness, who knows ... .
The old original japanese remake website hasn't even been archived, that's the website, it takes no space at all.
Konami actually lost source code of Silent Hill 2, so the people making the port had a previous build with bugs in it as a starting point (that's why the port sucks).
I just can't believe they lost such "precious" timeless classics.
There's better lighting too, it seems!
Yeah, shit happens, just like SEGA that lost the codes for Panzer Dragoon Saga.

Me for sure, wouldn't have it any other way, I honestly think the original control scheme is the best, and could still be used in new entries if modified to be more free flowing and responsive and add in the RE4 style laser sight to help with aiming. I'm tired of RE4's over the shoulder game play.
Can't wait to stand in the save rooms again relaxing and listening to this ;_;
Edit:
You can play the game in a widescreen 16:9 display ratio.
When Chris moves down... the screen will scroll to follow him.
So it's essentially pan and scan, emphasis on the scan. That will look awful.

Hey this would have been nice on Wii U, but you can't really blame Capcom for not putting it on there. They tried in the past, I mean shit they released this game already on Gamecube AND Wii, but the sales must have dismal both times.
What are the odds of Capcom just implementing an option to turn off the remastered backgrounds? They did offer the SD textures in Ultimate HD on Resi 4.
At least that way, you could set the resolution to match what the FMV backgrounds were rendered at and just have your monitor scale the image for you. Isn't a HD remaster that way, but at least you get to experience REMake as it was on GC/Wii if you never had the chance to play it before.
