Game can't get here soon enough. Please oh please include trading cards for Steam so I can craft a STARS badge for my profile.
If only Capcom promotes this heavily. They really should; it is one of their flagship series and this is one of the best entries by far. (My personal favorite).

I guess we will have to wait till TGS next month for the first gameplay trailer....
Damn I'm so obsessed with this game its ridicules how I find it my most anticipated close release game.
Early 2015 is all what we are getting now... it's going to be mostly January.
With no games around nowadays would be perfect

A cynic in me says that they simply don't have anything RE related to release now, so they might as well reach for a game from 12 years ago. Last released RE game was Revelations HD - in May 2013. And since we haven't even received a teaser of RE7, not to mention a release date, they have to fill the gap with something.

Keep in mind that the score includes the "huge franchise boost" unique to video game journalism.
I don't think you have to dig very deep, you just have to experiment at all. A big problem with the game is that the US version has no manual whatsoever, and there's no tutorial in the game teaching you the mechanics (it only mentions super basic stuff, like how to fire a gun or use herbs).
It is kinda typical of Japanese game design where they expect the player to experiment and learn the mechanics, but they should have had something. I hear about people who played through the entire game not knowing you can dodge at all, and that's a basic mechanic in the game.
Yeah. It's got plenty of depth but it's not hard to grasp the basics of the whole moveset. Utilizing everything perfectly will take some time though, but it's doesn't take that long to actually become quite proefficient at the game.
Tbh, I don't even know how people can miss stuff like being able to dodge, especially when playing on a pad. You've got what, 10 or so buttons? Not even bothering to test what they all do is just ridiculous.
To be fair to that, MetaCritic is a look at a game from a point in time. To my understandinf from what I've read (I haven't played it personally), the game has been improved since launch and the more glaring issues have been pretty well glazed over.

If RE6 didn't have co-op, it'd have scored tons lower.

The only way they could fix that game's glaring issues is to scrap it and make a completely different game.

I'm playing through RE5 (alongside REmake on my own) right now with my dad and I've been having a really fantastic time with it.
If RE6 is anything like RE5 co-op, I have a hard time believing it's as bad as many classic RE fans say it to be.
But again, I haven't played it so I really don't know for certain. I do know many people who aren't RE5 fans also aren't RE6 fans, so I imagine you can understand my hesitance to accept those thoughts outright.

The problem with RE6 is that it has really bad level design. It also doesn't feel like an RE game at all - even RE5 did despite being really different to the others.

it's kinda telling when you see a lot of people saying re6 is a gears of war clone
there's no need for cover at all in the game and it's really poorly done in this one (and i already consider cover based third person shooters horrible in the first place)

RE5 is a MUCH better co-op game (and I would argue, much better game in general) than 6. I played through both with the same friend and we both loved 5 and thought 6 was garbage.

RE5 is actually fun with co-op. AI partner is atrocious though.

I never had much trouble with it. Certain parts of Professional were actually easier with an AI partner.

I'm more curious if Action RE and Survival Horror RE can actually coexist as separate entities.
Not half attempts like Revelations.

Survival horror RE is the real RE.

Ha, it really does.
I thought, "man, SURELY re6 can't be worse than re5..." I got re6 opening night and I thought, "hot damn, re5 is actually a really well designed game...."
lol.
However, I love re6 for being such an absolute shit show. It's so funny playing coop and just kicking the shit out of everything and spamming the bizarre communication system in the game, dat thumbs up....
what a mess of a game.

To be fair it's been a action series as long as its been a Survival horror series.

my childhood nightmare, and the only game i rented which i ever failed to beat.
Wait what? You can dodge? lol I got like 2 chapters in and I didnt know.
Nah that didn't work in this case once you hit a dud its fair game to talk shit if it doesn't return to its roots. Id say if this was RE5 the score would be higher.
Alot more then that actually you can duck, power slide, power slide into a quick 180 to shoot guys behind you. Dive backwards, Power slide stun enemy leading to a melee attack and a melee finisher. Recharge you stamina much faster by pressing your back to any surface including the floor and remaining still.

Was this pointed out? Japanese site has some info for versions at the bottom and for Steam it says "more information at a later date":
http://www.capcom.co.jp/biohd/ja/index.html
60fps?
http://www.capcom.co.jp/biohd/ja/index.html
60fps?
I expect it to be 30fps supported, 60fps option available but unsupported. something like DR3. I really hope the 60fps option is available.
I feel like if I had some more technical know how, it would be possible to make REmake run at 60fps on Dolphin, seeing as the game runs 30 and the door animations run 60. I think there could be a way to toggle it so that in game it runs 60. Whether that means a smooth 60, or a double speed 60 I don't know but I think it would be worth trying.
I'm not sure where to start though. I think cheat engine would be a worthwhile bet.

Wasn't RE4 coded at 30 as well? QLOC had to clean that up, right? I would think that they're most likely developing this port.
Most of the problems with RE4 UHD came from the 60fps mode: slow-downs and problems with in-game logic (enemies acting weird, floating weapons, chickens laying too many eggs, not all animations being able to be converted to 60fps). When I played the game I was using the beta version of the last patch and the problems (mainly slow-downs) were still there. :/
Given how you have a mix of 2D and 3D animated graphics here I don't think converting REmake to 60fps would be any easier and less problematic than RE4, which was a fully 3D game.

Well the game will add those in realtime along with some lighting, fog effects and whatnot
Capcom has touched some assets:

Good job but your version is missing that "pop!"
At least that's what I imagine some clueless exec saying.

If they really redo the backgrounds I'll buy it on everything that I own.
Yeah Sheva was all right. Apart form the fight against
Wesker and Jill
I don't think this is QLOC. QLOC seems to focus on localization and porting games to PC. The fact it's being ported to 5 platforms and getting major upgrades to rendering makes me think QLOC isn't working on this.
If rumours about RE5 steamworks are true, I'm guessing that's one of the projects QLOC is working on right now.
I'd think converting REmake to 60fps would be easier than RE4 because it's a simplier game from a technical standpoint. There seems to be far less systems in REmake than RE4. The backgrounds would be a very difficult problem though. But if they are re-doing many of the elements which animate (based on screenshots, it looks they're re-doing all the moving grass and plants), they could do the new animations at 60fps.
