From news coming out of Famitsu magazine this week it looks like Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil: Code Veronica are getting HD remakes as part of a ‘Resident Evil: Revival Selection’ compilation, at least in Japan.
Details are currently sketchy, but it looks like both games will be ‘remastered’ in HD for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
The version of Code Veronica is the bolstered ‘x’ edition (with additional cutscenes) and Resident Evil 4 will include Aya’s ‘Separate Ways’ side missions from the complete PlayStation 2 version of the game.
More news as we get it.

Move support and co-op would be ace for Resident Evil 4 – but doubt they’ll both happen :(

4’s a good move to get a remake, one of the best in the series, even if it did start the trend of moving away from “normal” zombies.

Now whats needed is Devil May Cry…., I haven’t played Resident Evil 4 before so this will be great.

What’s more, just noticed. The fact that the HD remake is apparently set for both PS3 and 360 is somewhat telling that they may be coming to Europe and America. The 360 is not very big in Japan so if it were a Japan only release I wouldn’t expect it on 360. Puts a dampener on the move support hopes I have though, which is the make or break thing buying incentive for me with this really.
RE4 HD + Move support = day one purchase
RE4 HD + No move support = Me buying a cheap wii and RE4 Wii edition.

Hory crap, didn’t register the fact it was going to the 360 as well; that really does throw hope of Move support out of the window.

Not necessarily, I mean RE5 got it and that was on both too. The hope has moved further away but it’s not lost.

Yay for upscaled PS2 emulation! At least it’s a fair bet that RE4 will have Move support ported from the Wii version, which by now every RE4 fan has likely played to death as it’s one of the handful of Wii games worth buying.

YES! Resi 4 was the second ever game that I completed because I didn’t use to be much of a gamer, and I loved the game.
