God of War: Ascension is still better than most games, but as far as the standard set by SSM and the GOW series, it's not as good.

Resident Evil Remastered Will Run at 30fps on PS4, Xbox One
View media item 1119553

After being announced yesterday for digital release in early 2015 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC, Capcom has updated the website for Resident Evil Remastered, revealing some new details.

Along with running at 1080p on PS4 and Xbox One, and 720p on PS3 and Xbox 360, Resident Evil Remastered will run at 30fps on all platforms (PC specs and a price are TBD).

Here’s Capcom’s introduction for the game:

If you thought the remake looked good, wait until you see the HD version! This is the game that defined the survival-horror genre and launched a franchise that has sold over 61 million copies.

The original Resident Evil was released in 1996, and the remake arrived in 2002. The remake was built from scratch by the same creators and was considered a masterpiece.

Now, over a decade later,, and with modern technology we can make the scares even more real in terms of both graphics and sound. The interface has also been updated to meet today’s standards.

But don’t worry, we made sure not to change anything that made the original the classic that it is. You don’t mess with a masterpiece, after all.

The Resident Evil development team then added:

Our base for this HD version is the remake from 2002 which was inspired by the original game that was released in 1996.

We wanted to keep the remake’s feeling and atmosphere while producing an HD experience for modern systems.

It wasn’t just about making everything look prettier, we’ve also worked hard to analyze and polish every little aspect of the game so that we could provide the best version possible.

There is certain timing programmed into the game that is important to scary moments. We were careful not to adjust things like this in order to preserve the horror and atmosphere of the remake.

To summarize, our goal was to make an HD version that still plays like the remake.

Elsewhere on the site, some of the enhancements were highlighted:

Graphics

The environments come alive with detail thanks to resolution upgrades and non-static 3D models.
Post-processing effects like Bloom filters, which were not easy to do at the time of the original release, have been added to make the HD graphics even more realistic. The original game called this technique “video backgrounds.” We recorded the backgrounds themselves as videos to create realism that couldn’t be rendered in real time with the technology of the time.

Aspect Ratio

You can play in the original 4:3 screen ratio as well as 16:9 widescreen. CG cutscene movies also support the new widescreen ratio.
In widescreen mode, the screen will scroll. The parts of the screen that get cut off on the top and bottom will scroll into view automatically depending on the character’s position (you can switch the display mode during gameplay in real time).

Sound

The audio has been remastered to increase the sampling rate, and of course 5.1ch output is also now supported.

New Controls

You can play using the original control scheme or an alternate control scheme that lets you just push the analog stick to move in the direction you want to go. You can switch the control scheme during gameplay in real time.

#1. This looks like PS2
#2. How is a remaster only playing in 30fps?

I'm judging it from a franchise pov. I don't appreciate when Devs. use their franchises' success to release mediocre games.

Cough infinity ward/treyarch/bungie.

I fear GOW judgement is a mediocre game, but I have yet to play it.

Just beat the last of us. Man WOW at the ending. Can't wait to start the dlc now. Wish the dlc would add what happened after the ending

What did you think of Arkham Knight?

I had to choose btwn that and FC3 for $20 a few weeks back and I chose FC3

I have both AC and AA and loved both but felt AK would be more of the same and wanted to play something different

 

[parada45]

ihust1e

I was faced with this same dilema and went with Origins

I really liked Origins but it's pretty much like the other 2 games

I'm taking Origins back to gamestop today and swapping it for FC3

You can bring back used games within 7 days

 

[ihust1e]

@parada45  !! I did mean AO. Im getting them all confused lol

Ill definitely have to visit origins before knight

 

[alleyzonjay]

havent been in this thred since right before the Destiny Beta.
about 20 pages on just that wow. im generall not into futuristic shooters but damn im ready for this. TeamWarlock FTW!

Bruh, but the crazy thing is you don't have to be home to use remote play. You can be at work/hotel/friend's house as long as there's wifi it's a PS4 on the go.

dont tell me this, ill be doing even less at work now how does this work exactly? never used it outside my home. does the system have to be on? does the game i want to play HAVE to be the game thats in the system?

debating on spending more money for a game i already played and beat in TLoU. I spent more money than i thought i would at SDCC.

what did you buy if you dont mind me asking? im planning to go with a few bucks myself just incase i see anything that i MUST come home with lmao.

any chance of HBOgo or Youtube being on PS4?? pardon the noob question.

youtube.com/html5>click request HTML5 player>voila! Thank me later...

after if ya nasty then go to youtube.com/tv, made for tv similar to how the PS3 youtube app works. iPhone control too

 

[bully bob]

ill make it a point to level up more on IX

xiii series ive heard good things about. how is it? been wanting to play a newer ff game..

XIII-1 was okay for me... just way too linear and corny. Graphics and battle system made it playable.

XIII-2 was better... I like exploring the towns and liked the time travel feel.. like chrono trigger.

Never played XIII-3... I'm waiting until they release all 3 as a package deal... maybe we'll get a PS4 remaster lol.

Yeah I spent 100s of hours on VII and VIII but rushed through IX just to beat it.. its a good game but I need to grind a little more to beat the last dude.

taking some time off of the Wii U and since I decided to hold off on the PS4....

bought kingdom hearts 1.5 and the last of us. never played either

Sup bro, i think you'll def like TLOU... i'm playing sp mode again and yeah its one of my top favs ever.

Just a bunch of Game of Thrones ****.  7" iron throne replica, con exclusive dragon eggs in a chest, pop funkos, graphic novels etc.

Got a few art pieces to get them signed by the artist.

Some starcraft pops and plush.

Sailor Moon stuff for my cousins.

It was a great experience.  Definitely wanna go in cosplay next year.  Even if i dont get tickets, i'm going to SD for it.  Gaslamp was awesome Saturday night.  Don't even remember getting home.

I still haven't beat VIII, I hate the junction system 

 I thought IX was one of the best games in the series, top 3 or 4 for me.

Was the RE remake on GameCube as difficult as the 1996 OG RE? I still haven't beat the OG RE to this very day.

1 The backgrounds are pre-rendered meaning they are basically wallpaper in which the character walks on. The backgrounds looked
gorgeous on the gamecube at the time because everyone didn't have an HDTV. Now Cacpcom has to take all of the original backgrounds 512x448 and upscale up to HD size, but while upscaling you lose detail so they will add some image enhancements (filters). Remember these are PS3/360 shots not PS4/Xbone

2 Cacpcom wants to keep it true to the original and they ruined RE4 on the PC when they force it to play 60 fps

Yea one enemy will destroy your day "Crimson Heads" and Lisa Treavor she is basically a tyrant that follows you during the game.

The Gaslamp Quarter is a section of downtown SD. Lots of bars/restaraunts, night clubs. It's normally poppin on Saturday nights but even more so during events like comic con, Halloween,Mardi Gras, etc

I think that's part of the reason I'm not impressed. The only RE I really played was 5 and that game was gorgeous at the time. Hell, it still looks good now. But who knows, the PS4 screens could change my mind on the remake. I'll just reserve judgement until I see them.

Bro, I just noticed my left thumbstick is DESTROYED! Like, it feels like I've been playing in the twilight zone to not have noticed how bad it is . It took my wife to start playing to point it out to me. When she showed me I thought she did it, but she said it's been like that. It's crazy that I never noticed it but when I look at it I'm like, how could I not notice?

How do I replace the thumbsticks? Is that a better option than trying to get the controller replaced through Sony or Amazon?

Mine is starting to die too, you use a tutorial on this?  I wanna replace mine, and paint it at the same time while i have it open.
