What it is

Resident Evil is a survival-horror game from Capcom presented here as a remastered HD version. The story begins in 1998, when a special forces team investigates bizarre murders near Raccoon City and takes shelter in a mansion after an attack by dogs. Supplies are scarce as the team struggles to survive. The remaster upgrades the environments with higher-resolution backgrounds, animated 3D models, and effects such as Bloom filters while retaining the horror setting. It supports 16:9 widescreen, with automatic scrolling to reveal areas outside the frame, and lets players change display mode during play. Audio is remastered with 5.1-channel output, and players can choose the original control scheme or an alternative. Steam lists single-player, achievements, full controller support, trading cards, Steam Cloud, leaderboards, and Family Sharing. Capcom developed and published it. The game is listed for Windows, Wii, PlayStation 3, and Nintendo GameCube, with a Steam release dated January 19, 2015.
