Resident Evil HD downloads to get full Achievements photo

Usually, downloadable games on Xbox Live can only offer 200 Gamer Points' worth of Achievements. The HD reissues of Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil: Code Veronica, however, will offer 1,000 Points each, boasting full-fledged Achievements. 

This is because they are skipping both retail and Xbox Live Arcade in the West, releasing instead via Xbox Live's "Games on Demand" service. Since full-fledged retail games appear on this service, the two Resi remasters aren't bound by XBLA restrictions. 

Despite the presence of retail copies in Japan, the Resident Evil HD remasters are exclusively digital in Europe and North America. They'll be coming to Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network a little later this year.

Knowing capcom, they'll price the bundle at 40 dollars.

So, 3200 MSP for a bunle, 1600 for one game.

Makes sense.

I have like 3 copies of RE4, but only one of Code Veronica X - I'm excited for the remake!

It is a remake of "X", right? I hope... :D

Also, is that screen above an HD shot of Code Veronica?

If so, NIIIICE.

Well we knew about the GoD status already, right? It said so in the Resi 15th Anniversary video back in April.

This makes me a bit sad since I can't import it from the UK and save money.

Does this mean I can plat both games on the PS3? That'd be sick.

Games on Demand don't cost MS points. Their prices are in standard currency.

The Prince of Persia HD games on the PSN cost $15 each and had full Trophies. I'm hoping for similar pricing on these Resident Evil Games.

I'm also hoping the HD PoP games come to Xbox 360 with full achievements, but so far I haven't heard anything about that.

Yeah, the game was given a full 1000 achievement points, but apparently it still only has 12 achievements (similar to an XBLA title). Each achievement is worth at least 50 points, and they are essentially "play through the story, beat this, unlock achievement." Pretty lame, if you ask me.

1000 will be mine in both of these games.
RE4 will be easy no matter what with the amount I have beaten that game. Hope that achievement list is better than the Code Veronica List.

Also the code veronica list requires you to unlock the RPG and Liner which I have never done. Looking forward to unlocking those now.

Not paying a dime over $15 for either. Seeing that the cheapest Demand games are $20, I sadly am missing out.

I would've bought these if they were on discs, but I guess it makes more sense to release them this way.

I'm still buying them, but it's a little disappointing.

Has anyone played the Japanese/Asian versions of past RE games? If so, do you know if you can turn on English text in either of those versions? I'd much prefer to pay a few more bucks to Play-Asia and get these sexy motherfuckers on a disc, like I did with Siren: Blood Curse.

Ooh, can't wait to play RE4 again. My copy is in my closet right now, since I don't have enough room for all my games. I've spent more money on stupider things, and the HD upgrade will be nice.

Plus, RE5 was a pain. Freaking Sheva picking up my god-damned mines.

Maybe I'm the only one that cares, but I don't like it when a game that has physical copies elsewhere gets reduced to a downloadable game elsewhere. I don't know, it's not a HUGE deal, but it is worth noting that Sega pulled this shit with the English version of GameFreak's awesome sidescroller "Pulseman" when it was exclusive to Sega's bullcrap downloadable service, rather than getting a proper release and getting the fame and praise it should have gotten.

Then again, that's really not much of a problem anymore, and it's nothing to really complain about. I guess it just kind of strikes a nerve for me. :/

Nope not thanks. Disc or no go. Sorry but paying $15 for a digital version is pretty messed up. What happens when xbox live or psn goes down and is replaced by the new live/psn service?

So we'll have to pay for each one separately? Seems like they should just combine the two games.
