The key thing is to use the d pad with the classic games. Analog makes it way harder than necessary.

Capcom teasing Classic Resident Evil ports?
- Thread starter Jawmuncher
- Start date
I guess CV's AWOL on PC, but it got rereleased on Gamecube and the PS3/Xbox 360 (the 360 port is still playable via backwards compatibility). So it's been ported more recently than the older RE games.
Oh I do lol. My buddy does too for the same reason. But I played them all fine with the analog on the GC. It's just weird haha
What's silly about if? If you are the sort of person who wants to play the original versions of re 1,2,3 then by this point you would have emulated them
And I think RE3 is a bad game
Hoping that a company doesn't port their classic games to new consoles (which makes it easier for new generation of consumers to play them -- it isn't just about old fans) simply because you don't personally like them is dumb.
It literally has no negative impact on you. You're not forced to play them and it doesn't stop new games from being created/developed.
So, yeah. What you said is silly.
I've found those upscaling things quite hit or miss. The candlewax look they tend to have just doesn't look right. But as long as the original versions are available it doesn't matter much.
Only tangentially related, but for the 25th anniversary it would be neat if Capcom at least released next-gen patches or next-gen SKUs of all the currently available RE games, even if it's just simple resolution and framerate bumps. Did 4, 5, and 6 ever get patches for PS4Pro and One X? If not, 4K60 should be trivial for those games, and definitely reachable for 7 and the remakes. It'd also be interesting if they could get some AI upscaling going on to get REMake 1 up to 4K if the backgrounds in it and 0 aren't already 4K for the PC versions.
Oh, and go ahead and throw everything together into a "Resident Evil Anthology" collection like they did on PSN back on the PS3.

Yeah CV is the one that's gotten the least attention which is odd because it'd technically be the most straightforward to do. It doesn't use pre-rendered backgrounds and Capcom already put a lot of work into the PS3/360 port which brought it all the way over to MTFramework. At the very least a quick n' dirty PC port would be appreciated.
That's the assumption. Tech-wise the best existing comparison might be the recent ports of FFVIII and IX. I don't know if those used the AI upscaling but from a production and pricing level they're probably similar to what we'd get with new ports of the PS1 RE games.
I imagine actual big developers like Capcom wouldn't rely on AI upscaling alone. Maybe it would make some things easier for them, maybe they'd use it selectively in combination with more granular techniques.
The fact that it's 2021 and PSX games have been MIA for 7 years is still frustrating. Publishers have not been re-releasing them, I can think of only a few PSX games to get new versions, so it's not like we're getting upscaled or updated versions instead. If people could buy or use their old copies of at least the RE1-3 it would really be nice.
Of course playing games you already own isn't making people money.

Came here to say this. I usually prefer to just play a game on a console than set it up on PC, but Seamless 2 and 3 are unbelievable. I don't have faith that we'll get anything close to that if ports are released by Capcom. I'd love to be wrong, though.
PS
Seamless is incredibly easy to set up. Download it, find the ISO (easily), and play.
Yeah, it is kind of a weird thing, especially for a company that loves re-releasing their shit all the time lol. I think I also read somewhere that RE2 and 3 were also some of the most emulated game on Dolphin or something? Not sure if that data would be available and I'm just mixing it up with something else, but hell, the REMake and Zero HD remasters did well, too, so there is an audience there. It's just strange really.
'get ready to heal your friends online with the RE Item Box App! Simply tap on all the herbs to save your friend who is playing the game on another console, and youre running the items on your phone! Online play amirite guys??"
Do I have the option to steal items from other players item boxes to screw them over just for laughs? If so, I'm totally sold.
what we know for sure is that capcom's social media team hired a motion graphics person who has never played a Resident Evil and slapped some weird non-game animations.
Yea this is the puzzling thing. Why not just capture the footage from gameplay.
Okay... so all of the teases have been inventory screens that are off in some ways, right?
Like, I dunno if this is me reading too much into things, but does anyone have a list of the changes? I might be way off base/wishful thinking that some sort of clue is hidden there.

I think the only ones that's been off was 3 and 5. 1, 2 and 4 looked normal, at least to me? I can't say 100% for sure, though, someone else may be more knowledgable.
Thats sorta what I meant. Like 110% it probably is just someone told a guy in marketing to whip up 7 fake inventory screens that would look fine on Twitter. But it being created by the ad department, rather than direct captures means it is possible something was changed deliberately, rather than it just being deemed "good enough" by marketing.
Admittedly any hidden meaning would be "be sure to drink your ovaltine" sequel marketing.
Gotcha. I thought there was something wrong with all of them. Guess I'm just barking up the wrong tree.
I know the RE8 inventory screen had been seen before but I can't remember if that was a Capcom leak or an official reveal, can someone remind me?
It was briefly shown as far as I remember in another video released just after the reveal trailer.

Are those... weapon mod slots? I know it was said the game was originally Revelations 3 and that's the series that has weapon mods, but I didn't expect them to keep them in. That's pretty awesome.
If my memory serves, it was not actually originally Rev3. It started as mainline, was considered to change to a spin-off and then eventually settled back into being mainline when it tested well. At least I think that was the original rumor, though it got a tad confusing.
It could be a remnant of that changeover, potentially though
I choose to believe Capcom knows exactly what they're doing, and laughing hysterically in the background right now. My belief remains strong. Classic collection choo choo!
Hope they release a patch for RE7 to PS5. Would love another go on RE7 with graphics upgraded to next gen
That's what I'm expecting. Current gen updates and re-releases for RE7, RE2R, and RE3R. RE8 release date. Multiplayer shooter beta.
That'd be an awesome series of updates. I'm almost done with my current RE7 playthrough, but I'd 100% play through it again for the other trophies if there was a current-gen update.
Would kill for a patch for RE2R. Would play it another million times for next gen upgrades
Crossing my fingers for DLC expansions for either RE2R or RE3R. Not going to hold my breath though.
I'd love a DLC expansion for 3 which gives me several areas from the original that were cut, and integrated back into the story seemlessly. Yeah, I know it'll never happen but still... I miss that Clocktower area so darn much.
But really, I'd just like a patch for 7 for the PS5 that improves the VR mode - much like how Blood and Truth got some improvements recently.
Probably less of a multiplayer game per say and just Village's multi. May be standalone like Resistance but I imagine in the context of the showcase it'll be revealed with Village.
I believe so, yeah, but mainly it's just another inventory screen, this time of RE6
Yeah it could be Village's multiplayer mode, was that in the Capcom leaks too? I've been avoiding them once people started talking spoilers. 🙄
Ah thanks!It was briefly shown as far as I remember in another video released just after the reveal trailer.
I never noticed the attaché case surround when I first saw it.
Kind of. It's not super clear from my understanding, but it seems they are going to launch a multiplayer mode with Village that will potentially have some kind of tie into all future RE titles, sort of like Warzone is for COD. But I don't know if we really have much actual details on it at this point and how much of that is speculation.
