Straight From Japan, Here's Resident Evil 4 in HD

Am I the only one who didn't know you could barrel roll the jetski? I played through RE4 probably 10 times across two systems and never did that

Same here. That made me flip.

This will be the 4th time buying this game.... Yes, it's still worth it.

I hate how all these games companies stick "HD" on games that are not HD. I mean it only looks like they took the Gamecube version and brightened it up.

I liked the part where they used the GoldenEye-font.

I'll get it for the trophies... Besides I'm down for an excuse to play through both of them again. Still wish it was the REmake, or even RE0 rather than Veronica X.

@avidwriter:

HD just means the game is running in 720p

In other news, PC games have been doing that since 2003.

Wait.

Follow me.

Wait.

Follow me.

Wait.

Follow me.

In OTHER other news, the original Xbox put out in 720p. In 2001.

Needs more one save system <_<

...soooo they ported the pc version from 5 years ago?

The PC version of RE4 was a terrible, terrible port. It looked worse than the PS2 version.

This is not ported from the PC version. It would look like complete crap with no lighting at all if it did.

Capcom... why won't you make RE6 already?

Will be buying this.

Hmm, up-res'd or not, looks like the Wii version of RE:4 is still the best one.

I'm with solh0und. Too many playthroughs of RE4 to ever go back to it now. However I suspect this will be a big draw for those who've never played it but want to.

Do you think this is Capcom's way if setting up RE6, with a return to a Claire and Leon story? Makes sense as RE2 is still the highest selling and most demanded in the series. Also Operation - Raccoon City is set in that era.

It was the best thing on the Wii (except maybe Galaxy) but it looks like they just ran the old footage through a make-look-crappy filter for this trailer. Like those trailers for Blu-Ray you get on DVD's. Or the HD ads on regular digital TV.  Misleading marketing bullshit.

There's only one version for me and that was the PS2 version even though everyone says it's slightly inferior to the GCN version.

I played the shit out of RE4 on several different times. On GC and PS2 but by the time the Wii version came around I ran out of steam for enduring it in lengthy play sessions. 
 
The Wii version certainly handled best but I couldn't bring myself to unlock every damn thing in the game for a 3rd time. 
 
Its been a good while but seeing it in HD is like "Hey! I totally remember how that is completely how I remember it being!" I guess if I get a strong nostalgic urge or something then... uhh maybe.

OMG OMG OMG, caNNOT wait!

I don't think HD is helping Code Veronica much, but RE4 looks swell.

I liked RE4 on the Wii...maybe the Move controller will translate well with this HD version.

wait. is it called biohazard in japan? lol fail

Already own RE4 on the GameCube and my roommates own both the Wii version of RE4 and Code Veronica for GC but - I'd still buy this. I'm a resolution whore, so sue me.

This re-release is just going to make me replay 4 again for Wii, instead of buy the kind of done up download version.

After the wii version, this is more of a downgrade.

I really don't see a huge difference here, sharper but still pretty much the same, but what can one expect.

I'd rather put RE4 into Dolphin and go 1080p but it still won't change the fact that I've played it, to death, and beyond! As for Veronica, I'd love to play that one over again but they'd have to remake it at this point. It looked too "clean" back then and with HD it'll likely look even more clean.. as if someone had vacuumed all the areas meticulously just before you arrive.

Love that on the all of the sites this video has been on, the headline declines to mention that CVX is in package too.

Hahaha, these Resident Evil releases never end. Capcom just keeps releasing them again and again.

I'll probably end up with this version anyway but the Wii Version of RE4 will always be the best. At least to me.

I really don't think this looks that much better than the older versions. Looks remarkably bad, actually.

I was thinking the same. So they turned up the res and called it HD. That's technically what HD is, I guess. But the textures look just as old as they ever were. With so many games to choose from these days, why would I choose one that looks so old? I'd rather play a new game that shows the capability of my system.

Wow, Capcom are really pushing the envelope lately, don't innovate too much guys!

Huh, for some reason I had it in my head that these were full remakes- that's a bummer.

I cannot understand Japanese; hopefully somewhere there it says that it is going to support the PSmove.

OH GOD PLEASE TAKE MY MONEY NOW!

Lots of Japanese text and the word HD.

Good Fcuk! this is HD...WTF! that looks like an early PS2 game at best.
 
Fcuk me but jebus! they are re-releasing a game with HD tagged onto it...the modded RE4 PC version looks HD this doesn't hold a CANDLE.
 
DISGUSTED! more like SD!

RE4 looked superb even in SD

what a shame, the games just look less fuzzy. all they did was throw some AA over these games, brighten them up a bit and called it a day. well i guess I can skip buying this now.

WTF, this is not HD at all...

If people keep buying this game they will just keep on making it for more things and hold re6 even longer. So do not buy this if you already own it. Stop letting capcom trick you in to buying the same games over again. 

holy beejus this doesnt look any different than RE4 did, and fuck that new content. A pure bullshit release.

I really can't be bothered paying for yet another version of RE4. I have completed that game on both the Gamecube and the Wii so the idea of going through again bores the crap out of me. It's a good idea for a lot of people who haven't played it before but I really doubt there is many of them left out there.

Capcom makes the best Resident Evil game with Resident Evil 4 and just can't let it go. They keep milking that game for all it's worth.

Super excited for RE5 I never finished it cause my little brother erased my save.

bioharzzard has always sounded cooler than resident evil

Code: Veronica still looks like shit.

Looks the same to me, just a little brighter.

hi res and high definition are not interchangeable, capcom. you naughty bastards.
