Resident Evil

ZTGameDomain (9 out of 10) (90%)

Still considered one of the best (if not THE best in the series) REmake still holds up today as a trendsetter in the gaming world. Every other title wanted to be it, but none ever quite nailed the formula the way this Gamecube remake does. Definitely recommended for fans of the genre, as this is the pinnacle of what Shinji Mikami created all those years ago.

I love coming back to Resident Evil, and this version does a good job of updating the look and feel of an old game for a modern audience. Some of the older visual flaws detract from the experience and pulled me out of tense moments, but the gameplay hooked me right back in. Resident Evil relies on atmosphere, tough limitations, and danger creeping around all corners, and this port recaptures the formula of a classic, relentless survival-horror game.

That is for the truly dedicated, who will no doubt already be revisiting Spencer Mansion. Newcomers should be aware that some of Resident Evil’s old-fashioned style can frustrate, but it is still a creepy, involving slice of bona fide video game history.

With Resident Evil 6 jumping the shark in a big way, Resident Evil HD is a welcome reminder of how great the series once was, and moreover a clear sign that Capcom really ought to return to its roots. The definition of survival horror at its rawest, Resident Evil stands up even today, with wonderfully orchestrated puzzles, atmospheric design and audio, memorable enemies, a number of unforgettable sequences. Whether you're revisiting a much-loved classic or you've never played it before, buying this is a no-brainer. This version of Resident Evil is quite simply an HD remaster that's utterly essential in every sense.

Ich mag Resident Evil. Immer noch. Und als Fan des GameCube-Remakes freut es mich besonders, dass ich den gruseligen Abstecher ins Herrenhaus jetzt mit zeitgemäßer 16:9-Anpassung und echtem 5.1-Surround-Klang erneut erleben darf. Weniger angetan bin ich dagegen von der schwankenden Qualität der grafischen HD-Aufbereitung: Während die Figuren von der Schönheitsoperation profitieren, pendeln die Kulissen zwischen sichtbarer Restaurierung und liebloser Konvertierung.(...) Okay, ich freue mich auch so über meine Rückkehr ins Spencer-Anwesen. Der Vater des Survival-Horrors hat zwar nach all den Jahren etwas an Faszination eingebüßt und wirkt stellenweise einfach nicht mehr zeitgemäß. Aber er schafft es immer noch, mich besser zu unterhalten, als es das enttäuschende Resident Evil 6 jemals konnte.
