Well looks like we finally have a solid release date which is 19th January 2016, even get a little pre-order bonus with some questionable in game outfits.

About This Game
The game that defined the survival-horror genre is back! Check out the remastered HD version of Resident Evil.

In 1998 a special forces team is sent to investigate some bizarre murders on the outskirts of Raccoon City. Upon arriving they are attacked by a pack of blood-thirsty dogs and are forced to take cover in a nearby mansion. But the scent of death hangs heavy in the air. Supplies are scarce as they struggle to stay alive.

Graphics
More detailed graphics that retain the horror.
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.
High-Resolution Environments - We've increased the resolution of the background environments by recreating them with a mix of high-res static images, plus animated 3D models.

Widescreen Support
Widescreen (16:9) is supported, so players can experience a greater sense of immersion.
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 & New Controls
High-Quality 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.

Appears you also get a chance to play Wesker mode once you've beat the game with some of his special abilities. We are receiving Origins Collection with the HD Remaster of orginal game and Zero as well with yet more questionable outfits as a pre-order bonus.

I had them all on Gamecube but that was a long time ago and somehow I never completed a single one as something always came up. Might pick up the collection to play through and hoping that they all receive a remaster at some point.

EDIT:

I might have to pick that up though it's a shame the timing of it isn't a bit earlier.

Sigh @ the outfits for Rebecca though Isn't she meant to be some ridiculously young age?

Well she is STARS so must be at least 18 but yeah can't say those outfits are great stereotypes in any way, shape or form.

Well it says you need to complete the game once before Wesker mode becomes available so guess it's purely for replay value and little something extra since this isn't a brand new title.

I'm relatively certain that this isn't handled by Capcom as full time endeavour but rather a smaller development team as a side project.
