I'm pretty pleased so far, at least playing in the original 4:3 aspect ratio the backgrounds don't look half as bad as they did on some of the screens, though I've heard complaints from people playing in widescreen mode. The FMV's are in high res too.

The japanese version features english and japanese voice over and englisch, japanese, german, spanish, french and italian subtitles.

The game has manual reloading like in RE4 and later titles (R1 + X), I couldn't remember if that was in the original GC release as well, but appearently it's new to this version.

There are some framerate hiccups, most noticably during cutscenes. I think it has something to do with the new lighting, that's when it usually starts to get a little bad, but it's still minor enough.


All in all I'm content with this release.

I just started playing RE Revelations and wanted to know what the extent of the backtracking is. I figure it will be limited to Jill's parts, but I just beat the first boss and already feel like an idiot for running around the ship for about 10 minutes figuring where to go before that. I don't know if it's the layout or I'm just stupid but my sense of direction is for poo poo so far. Not even the blinking yellow "GO HERE" thing on the map can save me.

I do like how you can switch between languages. I feel a lot better about things now that I can hear other tongues' take on mega-buff Chris Redfield.

There's a fair amount of backtracking through the Zenobia, but they break it up with a lot of excursions to different maps.

Man I love how Barry has a backback just like all the important characters did in The Last of Us. It's a trend I guess?

Now I feel like a hero every time I go outside my house because I always have a backpack. :clint:

it's on a modified version of the REV1 engine, which is still also mt framework anyways.
there's dodging but overall the combat doesn't look at dynamic- the dodging looks a lot stiffer in general, and there's still only one type of melee from what it looks like rather than the complex melee system that re6 had

basically it looks like a faster REV1 with manual dodging, which i guess isn't unexpected- the core system just looks like if the first revelations was designed for consoles rather than the 3DS.

Is that really Jamieson Price? It almost sounds more like Michael McConnohie as Barry.

That said, I am looking forward to Old Man Barry bulldoze through BOWs and monsters alike with nothing more than a magnum and his beard.

Barry always comes prepared :allears: which is why his Samurai Edge is more-or-less the same one he had as a member of STARS, same with his Colt Python, by the looks of the barrel shroud.

That just means I hope that all of the S.T.A.R.S and RPD logos are still modeled

Here's a new trailer of REmake HD's upcoming PC release.

Gotta say, the character models look noticably better and the biggest surprise of all, it's 60fps.

Edit: Oh, and the release date is january the 20th.

BOOOUUUGHT. I can't believe how much better this looks than the early comparison shots. On Gamecube they sort of cheated and the game would quickly load up higher detailed models for the in-game cutscenes but here it looks they're using said models by default.

Yeah, it's super impressive how a game from 2002 can still look that loving good with a few updates. You can definitely see the backgrounds looking a little grungy in some spots, but goddamn man. The 60 FPS boost makes a huge difference too.

Also it might be too early to tell, but the whole pan & scan thing seems to be a non-issue.

There was a video earlier that showcased that a lot, and it made me dizzy just watching the video. There wasn't as much in this video though. Maybe they made it not suck? :shrug:

well thanks to the "Raccoon City Infection" campaign Chris and Jill's BSAA outfits are new unlockables. Other than that they'll probably just be the same ones from the original REmake, so Sara Conner Jill and the like

I am kind of bummed that they didn't allow you to skip the door animations. It was neat when I played years ago, but its loving annoying now, especially when you are just backtracking.

Maybe, but after playing through RE3 for the PC and the original RE for the DS, its hard to go back. I shaved off about 45 minutes of playtime in the original just by skipping all of the door animations.

I think you could skip the doors in the N64 port of RE2, but I could be wrong.

I still can't believe RE2 made it on to the N64. :psyduck:

The PC port of 1 definitely had the doors. That was the version I played back in the day.

Maybe there will be a feature to turn off the door animations? Probably not since the latest advert for it featured all 256(?) doors.

Anyway I'm finally excited to play this after owning the GameCube version for years and only ever getting up to where the Crimson heads appear. I feel bad but, the inclusion of the modern controls as opposed to the tank controls is so appealing.

My first proper play of a Resi was 4 on the wii, holy poo poo playing that in my bedroom with the lights off, a Chinese takeaway consisting of egg friend rice, honey covered spare ribs and a strawberry milkshake as my dinner. I remember I started at 6ish and kept playing till 11. The part where you wake up with Luis in the canyon surrounded by the las plaga peeps, is one of my most memorable gaming events?... The memories...ah the memories...:allears:

REmake is so drat good. The only thing I wish it had was some sort of Mr. X/Nemesis character that chases you around all game. I know there's that one thing, but eh.
