The years have not been kind to Resident Evil’s visuals

Comparison screenshots of the ‘REmake’ and new remaster

Capcom has posted screenshots of its 2015 remaster of Resident Evil as well as equivalent shots from the so-called “REmake.” There are even sliders on Capcom-Unity so you can quickly see how the new version stacks up to the Wii port of the GameCube remake.

The side-by-side comparisons are like getting new prescription glasses. “Holy shit! How did I live like that? I was blind!” Besides the obvious reduction in blurriness, there’s improved lighting.

I sometimes forget how not-great GameCube titles look on HDTVs. Still adore the console, though.
