From the article, "Resident Evil is a game that redefined what games could and should be, sweeping the era of colorful platformers and 2D fighting games out the door after eating their brains. And now, a struggling Capcom is doing what Capcom always does when it’s struggling, and rolling out its beloved franchises again to tap our wallets. But this is one return we really don’t need.
Simply put, Resident Evil hasn’t aged well."
Edgar writes: "Let's take a look at the Resident Evil HD Remaster, how it significantly improved upon the original and became one of the best horror games ever made."
Despite some signs of its age, Resident Evil is still as scary as ever with the remake's recent release on Nintendo Switch.
DSOGaming writes: "These past few weeks have been really interesting as we've seen some truly amazing AI-enhanced texture packs for older games. Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 8, Final Fantasy 9, Half-Life, Max Payne, Morrowind and Doom are just a few of the games that got new high-quality textures that were produced via AI Neural Networks and today, modder ‘Shiryu’ released a new AI-enhanced Texture Pack for Resident Evil HD Remaster."
I'm not really convinced by this AI Neural Networks thing using this as an example. I know you can't ask for much when it comes to pre-rendered stuff, but you can barely see a difference with most of these. At its worst, there's an imperceptible difference. At its best, you can see it cleared up some jaggies and looks a liiiittle less blurry.
I will download it of course, but based on the screenshots, this doesn't improve things a whole lot.
It does make a difference. Mods in general are just awesome. They've helped make so many of my games look better. The HD reworked texture mods and other mods for The Witcher 3, for example, made it look way better.
This may be small improvements now but it could be huge for gaming's future. AI with a ryzen based chip programmed to use the neural network to determine to the metal coding might allow programmers to focus on high level coding. That means games get done really fast and the budget goes into things like story and production. Once you have an ai that understands its given hardware it can decide how to run the code to maximize frames and resolution. AI will revolutionize gaming.
The author doesn't even know what good gameplay is,
BTW "esident Evil" I've never heard of that game, where can I get a copy???
The articles one for the recycle bin as a huge Resident Evil fan since day one I really need this game been waiting years for it to happen and hopefully it's just the beginning.
the fact that the REmake version have never been available outside Nintendo consoles is sufficient to justify it coming to other platforms
Just do us all a favour and stick to your modern day shooter, press x to win generation crap where you kill everything on screen with the push of a button. There was nothing wrong with Resident Evils gameplay back in the PS1 days as any fan will tell you.
The problem is Capcom are to busy trying to attract people like you who don't like the game for what it is and what do we get?, we get Resident Evil 6. So now this is the best the actual fans of Res can hope for, remakes.
Play RE Revelations on Wii U or 3DS then if you want fantastic game play. That game is great. Graphics on Wii U look exactly like the remastered images I have seen so far of this title and the Gameplay is what RE used to be with a little twist. Since there is two screens you can solve small puzzles and unlock things using the game pad or second screen on the 3ds. Sony and MS have a way of off screen mapsa nd puzzles so they could do the same with future titles and this one. This article seems a little hypocritical because of the fact that it almost admits the graphics are not important but the game play is. Something that a lot of Nintendo fans argue all the time. I am looking forward to this remake coming to the XB1 and PS4. In the meantime though, play revelations if you have a Wii or 3ds and you will see they are trying to go back to what made the series popular. I have a feeling that Revelations and now this HD remake are money making scheems to kickstart a new RE title in the future. If they stick to these mechanics and it has next Gen graphics it will be awesome.
