Capcom to release Resident Evil HD in 2015

Capcom has announced Resident Evil HD for PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, and PS4 digital release across North America and Europe in Early 2015.

The popular Resident Evil series, having sold over 61 million units to date, returns to its roots with a remastered version of the original game. First released in 1996, Resident Evil was then “remade” in 2002 from the ground up with new visuals, gameplay elements, environments and story details.

Using the latest resolution enhancement and 3D model technology, game resolutions and textures have been significantly upgraded, including 1080p support on next-gen consoles, resulting in characters and backgrounds offering greater detail than ever seen before in Resident Evil. Sound effects have also been fully remastered with 5.1 surround support. Players will be able to choose between classic 4:3 ratio or a 16:9 widescreen mode, and also the type of control scheme they play with.

Taking place in the now notorious Raccoon City, players will choose to take on the role of either S.T.A.R.S. (Special Tactics and Rescue Service) team member Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine, who have been sent into the city to find the missing Bravo team.
