If you were introduced to the Resident Evil series within the past decade, you missed out on some of the best entries the franchise has to offer. No one is here to deny the greatness that is Resident Evil 4, and while that game helped redefine the series, it was also the first step in transitioning the IP from the horror genre to a more action-oriented focus. It is time to return to the series’ roots and to see why Capcom and Resident Evil were was once synonymous with the term horror.

Despite some signs of its age, Resident Evil is still as scary as ever with the remake's recent release on Nintendo Switch.
DSOGaming writes: "These past few weeks have been really interesting as we've seen some truly amazing AI-enhanced texture packs for older games. Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 8, Final Fantasy 9, Half-Life, Max Payne, Morrowind and Doom are just a few of the games that got new high-quality textures that were produced via AI Neural Networks and today, modder ‘Shiryu’ released a new AI-enhanced Texture Pack for Resident Evil HD Remaster."
I'm not really convinced by this AI Neural Networks thing using this as an example. I know you can't ask for much when it comes to pre-rendered stuff, but you can barely see a difference with most of these. At its worst, there's an imperceptible difference. At its best, you can see it cleared up some jaggies and looks a liiiittle less blurry.
I will download it of course, but based on the screenshots, this doesn't improve things a whole lot.
It does make a difference. Mods in general are just awesome. They've helped make so many of my games look better. The HD reworked texture mods and other mods for The Witcher 3, for example, made it look way better.
This may be small improvements now but it could be huge for gaming's future. AI with a ryzen based chip programmed to use the neural network to determine to the metal coding might allow programmers to focus on high level coding. That means games get done really fast and the budget goes into things like story and production. Once you have an ai that understands its given hardware it can decide how to run the code to maximize frames and resolution. AI will revolutionize gaming.
Well deserved score for a masterpiece. Thank you Mikami for making some of the best games in the industry.
nicely written sir, enjoyed reading your review.. :D
Day one!
Preordered about a month ago. Can't wait for this and being able to dive once again into the mansion. This game was the sole reason I bought a gamecube back when it first was released. This is still one of my favorite games of all time. Love it.
Definitely excited - the remake looks incredible.
I just hope getting back into the old RE controls isn't too brutal.
