To think I was going to retro try this game a few weeks ago, what a fool I would look now :D :D

*sigh* Still have my other two copies of this, now I might get a third, if only to see it at 60 fps.

I love this game, and would love to have a nice HD/Steam/PC copy. I've owed it for the GC and the Wii, and loved both, even attempted to set the speed-run for a while. Would be in my top 10 maybe top five of all time, and since the original PC port was garbage, I'm really stoked about this release.

It looks like a cheap TV drama at 60 fps...

@yummylee: Goddamn yes, for the love of fuck just release a combo pack of Onimusha for PS4. I'll pay $60 US for all of them on a BR, no questions asked.

This is still such an incredible game, and I'll happily buy it again for a third time.

Oh for godsakes, Capcom. Your business model should not be to sell the exact same games over and over and over year in year out until all of the people stop buying. If this is the best you can offer, maybe time to liquidate all intellectual property and close up shop, call it a good run. -____-

I just wish they'd instead give me a reason to buy an Onimusha game again

3 actually had a decent PC-port. I'd kill to get that running on a modern OS.

I got it running on Windows 7. Only problem I had was the static backgrounds looked like trash at higher resolutions. Also there were plenty of mods for RE4's original PC release that made it look better than this "Ultimate HD Edition". I still prefer the Wii version though.

Capcom is all like, "We've run out of great ideas for games, but remember this one? This one was pretty great, huh? Remember? We figured we'd remind you of it every year by re-releasing it."

Remember when the Resident Evil series wasn't a joke?

I feel that Capcom owe me a free copy for having paid for that awful PC version several years ago.

This! I felt robbed.

this really was the last, great RE game they've released but, as a lot of others have said here, im not paying for it yet again.

i would pay for an updated version of the RE remake that came out for the GC, though. that game was amazing.

I`ve bought this game three times already... GC, Wii and PS3. Do I have to buy it again Capcom?

Well, to be fair, this is a government mandate, so... yeah.

I bought the Wii version of this (my first RE game actually) years ago and just never got around to finishing it. I simply don't really play the Wii anymore and spend more time with my PC and 3DS. Maybe I'll get this version and play it the whole way through this time.

I hear its a great game (never played it) but this is HD? Maybe rescan the textures, just a little? This looks like a straight up emulator with no filtering on.

@mrklorox: For my money, the Wii version is the best version. I think the controls make it one of the few Wii games to properly justify the use of the remote. With a bit of practise you can be an absolute crackshot. As a result, it makes the game a lot easier than it probably should be, but it's super satisfying.

If you have a Wii and a few pounds / dollars / euros spare (I picked it up second hand for next to nothing), it's worth taking a look at. The controls are a total game changer.

Totally agree. Overall, I found the wiimote/nunchuck combo quite grating in most Wii games, felt like a chore with little reward. RE4 played really well with them though, enjoyed it more than the GC/PS2 versions I'd played to completion previously.

"Super satisfying" is spot on.

It's the audio that needs an overhaul more than the textures.. it sounds as low quality as ever in that trailer.

I think the xbox360, ps3 versions should have gotten the redone graphics at the time, but at least they finally decided to put in the work.

If there is a game to own to many copies of this is the one for me. I'm sure it'll eventually come on the new systems but when steam discounts this I'm going to be all over it.

The woods chapter visually still blows me away. Such great atmosphere, and just the right amount of helplessness. The level is what should have been the inspiration for RE6 not the L4D games.

I wonder if HD means "locked at 1280x720" on PC.

Didn't the 2007 version technically support HD resolutions, but the cutscenes were really low res?

I'd rather be able to buy the GameCube remake of RE1 instead of this...again

Yeah I am in agreement with you, I don't need to buy this game again for the 5th time, GC, PS2, Wii, Xbox live, to know that I really liked it all those years ago.
