HD Remaster af det første Resident Evil på vej

Det første spil i Resident Evil-serien får sig, endnu en gang, en moderne opdatering til aktuelle konsoller, meddeler Capcom. Spillet udkom oprindeligt til PlayStation 1 tilbage i 1996, og senere lavede udgiveren en opdateret udgave med kraftigt forbedret grafik, der udkom på GameCube.

Og det er tilsyneladende den version af spillet, der udgør basis for den kommende Resident Evil HD Remaster, som er på vej til PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 og Xbox One.

Både grafik og andre aspekter af spillet er dog blevet opgraderet yderligere siden Gamecube-udgaven, lyder det i pressemeddelelsen:

"Using the latest resolution enhancement and 3D model technology, game resolutions and textures have been significantly upgraded, including 1080p support on next-gen consoles, resulting in characters and backgrounds coming to life in greater detail than ever seen before in Resident Evil. Not only will the graphics impress but the tense sound effects have been fully remastered with 5.1 surround support for a greater gaming atmosphere. Players are now able to choose not only between experiencing the terror at the classic 4:3 ratio or a stunning 16:9 widescreen mode but also the type of control scheme they play with. The classic control scheme remains for fans of the original play style or there's an alternative scheme where the character moves directly in the direction of the analogue stick, utilizing the standards of the current generation of gaming. Both the control scheme and the display options can be toggled between at any time during gameplay."

Resident Evil HD Remaster udkommer i starten af 2015.
