Capcom confirms HD release of Resident Evil classics
To kick off the 15th anniversary of Resident Evil, Capcom today announced that the highly acclaimed Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil Code: Veronica X will be released as downloadable titles for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Scheduled for release later this year, both titles have been enhanced with upgraded visuals (see comparison screens below) as they make their debut on high-definition consoles.
Resident Evil 4 , which received numerous “Game of the Year” awards when it debuted and currently stands as one of the best-reviewed games of all time with an incredible 96 ranking on Metacritic, challenges you to experience it all over again with support for trophies and achievements along with the visual upgrades.
In Resident Evil Code: Veronica X, the year is 1998, three months since the total destruction of Raccoon City and Claire Redfield is still in search of her missing brother Chris. While investigating an Umbrella facility in Paris, Claire is captured and transported to the remote Rockfort Island, where she awaits her death.
The Resident Evil franchise, which pioneered the horror genre in video games, has sold over 45 million units since 1996 and spawned a series of successful motion pictures that have grossed over $750 million worldwide.
