The Resident Evil Thread

[KevanG]

I can't imagine that a HD update should be that much. Did they add a whole bunch of content that wasn't on the GC version?

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Maybe the 20GB size was due to the updated movements of Jill's...yeah, very likely.

Dead or Alive don't require that much space.

 

[Havok83]

The PS3 version is 7.5gb. The PS4 is about double that. The textures are uncompressed and the jump from 720p to full 1080p attributes to the larger file size. The audio has also been remastered with a higher sampling rate and 5.1 support. And as Tron said, the pre-rendered backgrounds also hold alot of data and those were upgraded with new filtering and video effects to enhance the realism

Damn, Aziz. And I've never played that game

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Sorry.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I hope so I think people might already know of this.

I rather this than anything else right now.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Hate to break it to you, but that site is pretty well known to post fake stuff. It's actually a website dedicated to Korean Soap Dramas that just happens to post other stuff now and again to get more hits.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Damn...Damn.

So...Resi, huh? It's good, isn't it?

The audio is not remastered. But by the off chance it is, then it is one of the worst remaster in history.

Yes it is. According to Capcom's website:

 

[DarthSkywalker]

And either Capcom doesn't know what remastering means, is using the original "remaster" from way back in the day and calling it remastered because it is in 5.1, they don't know what they are doing, or they are outright lying. The sound is horrible. 5.1 or not, it is bad.

And Capcom isn't beyond lying. I believe they also said that they remastered all the textures. Either they are horrible at it, or they lied.

 

[Dwarf Slayer]

That was in the original release.

 

[Andrew Lucas]

The audio is pretty good when compared with the original release, and the textures definitely were improved. It's not a next gen game LOL.

That is irrelevant. This is a process done a lot for older films and albums, and the quality varies depending on the still of those working on it and on the actual amount of work done.

You can technically "remaster" something by simply making another master recording. Also if you want a direct comparison, Halo Anniversary. The original games came out less then a year apart.

 

[Andrew Lucas]

The are still good

 

[DarthSkywalker]

The are still good

What is good? The sound? It really isn't. I am pretty sure you have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to sound quality. This makes sense after the Dragon Age/Skyrim thread.

Okay mate. You're the right one. We get it.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I had zero issues with the sound.

My only issues with the game is the fact I have to play it 3 times with Jill before I can unlock her sexy Resi 3 outfit

 

[KevanG]

As yes, Jills ultimate urban wear for fighting for her life with zombies, monsters and stupid people. A tube top and a short skirt.

 

[Victarion]

Did they add more herbs to the REmake rerelease? I don't remember there being this many on the gamecube version.

 

[Tron Bonne]

3? Are you sure it's not 2?

 

[Rodrigo90]

 

[Tron Bonne]

Is that a...yes? Just wondering, because I think it was 2 on the original. Do you have to beat the game to get the RE5 costumes.

 

[KevanG]

As per gamefaqs

Code Veronica Clear the game twice with Chris on any Difficulty
Nemesis Outfit Clear the game twice on any difficulty as Jill
Sarah Connor Clear the game once on any difficulty as Jill
The Mexican Clear the game with Chris on any Difficulty

 

[Tron Bonne]

Yeah, that sounds right. I don't think I knew that alt was called The Mexican for Chris, though.
