In a move that both shocks and pleases the gaming world (hopefully there’s universal praise for this move), Capcom has announced via press release thatResident Evil(the one that was a Gamecube re-imagining of Resident Evil for the PlayStation) will receive an HD remaster. It is heading for PC, PS4, Xbox One, PS3 and Xbox 360 in Early 2015. The release notes that it is a digital download, so plans for a physical release are unknown at this time.

Why is Capcom doing a remaster when they could be making newResident Evilgames, you ask? Firstly, theResident Evilentries from 2006-on (post-Resident Evil 4) have been decidedly bad iterations of a series entry (with the exception ofRevelaitons).Resident Evil 6, the most recent of the mainline numbered games, almost entirely took out the survival horror aspects of the game to make it more like a horror action shooter. However, instead of making aDead Space-type game, they just traded in the heart of the series to chase their former glory in a new light.
However, by bringingResident Evilback, Capcom is bringing back the traditional trappings that the series is renown for to an entirely new generation. Remember, it will be 13 years since the release ofResident Evil: Zeroand this HD Remaster, meaning that younger gamers won’t remember a time when playing aResident Evilgame meant conserving ammo, dodging zombies in a narrow hallway, having to find items and solve puzzles in 3 main central travel hubs. Plus, with the pre-rendered background art making a trip to 7th and 8th-generation consoles,Resident Evilwill look better than ever.
TheResident EvilHD Remaster will be released on the PC, PS4, Xbox One, PS3 and Xbox 360 sometime in Early 2015.
