Revelations was excellent. Thats the last good RE game (so far!)

I have to agree I really enjoyed Revelations!
But we don't talk about RE5....
or 6...
I really enjoyed 5 and 6.
Still got both the HD remakes on 360, bought em about 2 days before I ordered my PC and flogged my console, it'll be beautiful if they at least drop Veronica X on Steam. Maybe we'll get Rebirth & Zero too, because they both sold like 4 million between them on Gamecube which was almost unheard of for the console at the time as it didn't sell very well at all. Capcom would make an absolute killing if they ported them both in HD glory onto Steam/LIVE/PSN.

Aye capcom would surely see some nice sales if they brought the older games to steam.

Lmao really? 'Ultra HD'?
Get the PC version and mod it with a texture pack, looks better this this garbage.
Edit:
this is what it looked like when I last played it on the PC. Judging from the trailers out so far, it looks like a PS2 port.

It wasn't even the content for me, it was the switch to a third person action game with horror elements. The original games built tension from the fixed camera angles making it difficult to see what was coming and the tank controls making it a frenzied affair trying to escape, RE4 and beyond take away from that in almost every way. RE4 should have been a spin off, not a main series game IMO. Then again I know many would disagree
. FWIW I actually enjoyed RE4, but it just wasn't Resident Evil. I enjoyed 5 too, but let's not talk about that

This game is a great example of gameplay over graphics though, just like revelations is.

Yes but it was also the start of the end for me personally.

I enjoyed the Wii version so will pick this up.
Prefer to play it on a PC.

Enjoyed it very much on the Wii console.
And also probably the most enjoyable resi game iv played yet.

Now they need to release Resident Evil 1-3 on steam which are all available on PC. They just need to make a few changes so can change resolution etc. I played them some years back on my PC and forced AA and they looked a million times better.

The problem I have is that Resi 4 (GameCube) was and still is my favourite game of all time, but I just know if I replay it even in glorious HD I'm not going to enjoy it as much as I did and it might spoil my fond memories! I just can't replay games any more haha.

Capcom will be hoping no-one else does eitherit also has the 480P FMV's & 2005 era textures unless Capcom redid them all (unlikely). I think Capcom looked at the still healthy RE4 mod scene on PC & did their own version using the PS2 port as the base.
No way does this need 15GB unless it includes all the different language FMV's (most likely). Its a 3.5GB download on X360 for instance
If you look very carefully Capcom have worded the Steam page with very little info at all on the new features (apart from Steam community).
I think this is a shameful cash grab & likely to receive a healthy backlash from the PC community
The RE4 mods here make the base game look very good indeed especially the HDR + hire textures + Gamecube FMV's.

Why do you keep mentioning the PS2 version? why would they use that as a base? Capcom can't just "emulate" the PS2 that easily.. The cutscenes on the 360 version are rendered using the ingame engine, as was done in the Gamecube version, so if anything it's based on that codebase with a new backend (Direct3D etc)
Soldato
Maybe not the best choice of words but yes, I was definitely talking about the game.
I wouldn't even like to know how many hours I spent on it, clearing all the mercenaries mini games at the end etc. I only quit once I'd done everything that could possibly be done. It is one of my favourite games of all time.

I played all 3 original games on the vita also and I also agree. For those to be ported, the character models would need to be done from scratch, as would the lighting system. Quite a lot of work really.
