Capcom’s ‘Resident Evil’ Remastered Gets A Release Date, Sexy 60FPS Trailer!

Briefly: Hankering for that HD rerelease of the original remake of Resident Evil (well that’s confusing)? Looks like you won’t be waiting too much longer, as Capcom has announced that the game will release for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC on January 20th.

As Andy noted in the original announcement, “the Xbox One and PS4 will benefit the most from this HD version of Resident Evil with things like 1080p resolution and fully remastered sound to support 5.1 surround sound. There will also be options to change the aspect ratio between 4:3 and 16:9. Not sure I would want to go back to the dark days of 4:3 though having that option will please someone out there. If you hated the tank controls of Resident Evil, you’re in luck. There will be an alternative control scheme for those of us who never want to go back to those frustrating controls ever again.”

Take a look at the new trailer below, and be sure to let us know if you’re going to pick this one up! I (somehow) missed out on both Resident Evil and the GameCube remake… so I’m pretty damned excited to experience just how the franchise began.
