Original Resident Evil Game to be Remastered in HD; Prepping for Early 2015 Release

Capcom has just announced that they will be releasing a remake of one of its original game, Resident Evil. The game that started it all will come to PC as well as to consoles in early 2015.

The company thought of giving the game a total reboot, and return to the roots of the very immersive series. The game has sold a total of over 61 million titles worldwide and had five movie adaptations with a remastered version of the original adventure.

Resident Evil first came out in 1996 and was overhauled in 2002, with new visuals, gameplay elements, storyline, as well as fresh environments, making it the go-to title for the survival horror video games.

The complete revisit of the 2002 classic is meant to provide a pleasant experience for the fans of the franchise as well as an enthralling journey for those who have yet to experience Capcom's iconic game.

The game will make use of the latest in resolution enhancement technology and 3D modeling, with significantly upgraded textures and supported resolution, including 1080p support on next-gen consoles, resulting in a Resident Evil world more detailed than it has ever been before.

The sound effects are also remastered for the upcoming remake, with full 5.1 support for a more immersive gaming atmosphere.

Furthermore, the control scheme has been updated, allowing players to choose between the original scheme and the alternative scheme where the character moves directly towards the analogue stick, using the current standard of console gaming.

Capcom has assured fans of the original that it doesn't intend to make any unnecessary changes to the game, in order to perfectly capture the genuine experience of the first chapter in the series that created the survival horror genre of video games.

Resident Evil will be available on PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One platforms, in early 2015.
