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

 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.

LOL, a fair statement but you were aware that this is a last gen game, right?  Were you under the impression that everyone was just making typos all this time and it was actually RE6?  If you only want new games I'm not sure how RE4 even got on your radar.

Stop trying to be snarky and read more of the posts you're attempting to mock in future. He knows precisely what this is.

After the RE 4 and 5 Survivor mode release, this just makes me think Capcom is out of ideas: They took one part of existing games and sold it as if it were a game on its own and now they made existing games look brighter, which is not HD... (not that it matters because I don't have an HD TV.) If Capcom wants to milk its back catalog, then it should do what they did to RE 1 and remake RE 2, 3 and CVX and sell them together as one pack for 40$ or 50$ I'd buy that because I got into the (pardon the pun) game late and never played those three games and to do so now would suck because they look and play so outdatedly. (By play, I'm referring to the old "tank" controls which I found so disconcerting in REmake.)

Maybe this "HD" cash-grab is worth it to those who haven't played the games, but I'll pass.

Let me guess... PC is getting kicked in the nuts again.

The PC version from about 5 years ago, I guess, was actually an "HD remake" since the bar for calling something an "HD remake" is so laughably low.

Im done.

So the PS3 etc cant even pull off remakes in 1080p! 

What was the last COD about 540p upscaled to 720p or something? I think PS4 and Xbox 720 are way behind schedule!

So was that saying August 9th? or September 8th? lol don't know if they do things backwards with dates over there! lol

I wonder why they didn't just call it Biohazard in the states.

I bought this game twice already and haven't beaten it once... never again... *never*.

@blacklab: because a crappy band from the 90's had rights to it in the states at the time and Capcom USA didn't want to deal with it. At least that's what I recall.

I forgot the RE games are called Biohazard in Japan.
