Resident Evil HD Remake Available For Purchase And Pre-Load

Ben-Dutka 8 Comments

If you just have to ensure that you're playing this game the second it becomes available, get moving.

Capcom's high-definition remake of the survival/horror classic, Resident Evil , is now available to purchase and pre-load on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The title will arrive on January 20 and if you pre-load, it'll start downloading the instant the clock switches over to midnight (or at least, that's the theory). Me, I've never really needed to play a game that badly, but whatever.

The latest remake is an updated version of 2002's Resident Evil REmake for GameCube, and that was a remake of the original PS1 title. So yeah, this new one is like a remake of a remake, or a remaster of a remake, or…well, anyway, it'll have 1080p visuals and it supports Cross Buy on PS4 and PS3.

Pre-Order Resident Evil HD Remake For Cross Buy Support

Ben-Dutka 4 Comments

So, here's an interesting situation.

Capcom and Sony have confirmed that the upcoming Resident Evil HD Remake will support Cross Buy on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3…but only if you live in North America and pre-order the two games from the PlayStation Network.

Pre-ordering nets you both versions (one for free, with the Cross Buy deal) and an exclusive theme, as Capcom revealed on its blog . Each version will retail for $20 so two games for the price of one isn't bad at all. This is a high-def upgrade of the 2002 REMake that released for GameCube, which was also a remake of the original 1996 horror classic.

The new effort will boast 1080p visuals on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and it'll release on January 20, 2015.

Resident Evil Remake Dated, Priced

John-Shepard 9 Comments

It's almost time to relive a classic horror experience.

Capcom has announced that the much-anticipated Resident Evil Remake will release on January 20, 2015. The publisher calls it the "definitive version" of the acclaimed IP, and it darn well better be.

The price is also quite attractive: $20 for all platforms; PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. If you've forgotten (or you haven't been paying attention to gaming news), this is an HD re-iteration of 2002's Resident Evil REmake that released on the GameCube. That was a remake of the original 1996 title, so yeah, this is the second revamping of the freaky trailblazer.

Additionally, Resident Evil: Revelations 2 will hit consoles and PC in 2015, and a recent report hints at the existence of Resident Evil 7 . You gotta assume it's coming at some point.

More Comparison Media For Upcoming Resident Evil Remake

Ben-Dutka 17 Comments

Yeah, it's kind of a remake of a remake, although that isn't 100 percent accurate.

The Resident Evil Remake planned for consoles and PC is basically a high-definition version of 2002's REmake that released for the GameCube. But provided the legendary spirit of the original 1996 smash hit is intact, survival/horror aficionados should be happy.

Capcom has released more comparison media; there are new screens and a couple videos; one features Chris Redfield (pasted in below) and the other boasts Jill Valentine. We get to check out the dramatically improved graphics, which makes us appropriately excited for the new project.

The new remake is scheduled to release for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC some time early next year.
