Summary
Summary pulled directly from Steam - Some text may only be applicable to Steam platform
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.

RE games balance survival, horror, and action. RE1 leans heavily towards survival. The game is about exploration, puzzles, and resource management as you try to make it out alive. It has such a mastery over tone, atmosphere, and tension that, even with PS1-style graphics, it's obvious to me why this is a classic. There are some outdated design elements like tank controls, saves being a literal in-game resource, and terrible writing, but the game is so well crafted around these that I want to say they add to the experience.
