The 2002 remake of the original Resident Evil is getting an HD remaster, and coming to almost every console you could possible ask: PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC. Though the game was originally a GameCube exclusive and later ported to Wii, the HD port ironically is not coming to the Wii U. For anyone who has any of the other platforms listed though this is extremely exciting news.
Edit: Second story up with some more details - http://www.famitsu.com/news/201408/05058378.html
- Remastered character models, textures and backgrounds. Character models benefit from updated textures and new lighting. It's unclear how the backgrounds are actually being handled, but word is Capcom has simply used filters on them rather than re-rendering them at a higher resolution.
- You can play the game in either the original 4:3 or in 16:9. In 16:9 some backgrounds will not fully be in the shot, and the camera will scroll up and down along with the player character's movement.
- Classic tank controls and new modern control option where Chris and Jill simply move in the direction you point the stick.
- New 5.1 audio option with remastered sound.
