RESIDENT EVIL HD REMASTER GAMEPLAY

Resident Evil, known in Japan as Biohazard (バイオハザード Baiohazādo?), is a survival horror video game developed and published by Capcom, originally released for the Nintendo GameCube in 2002. It is a remake of the original 1996 game, the first in the franchise. Resident Evil. The story takes place in 1998, near the fictional city of Raccoon City, where a series of bizarre murders have taken place. The player assumes the role of Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine, agents of the S.T.A.R.S., sent around the city to investigate the murders.

Resident Evil was developed over a year and two months as part of an exclusivity agreement between Capcom and Nintendo. It was directed by Shinji Mikami, who also designed and directed the original Resident Evil. Mikami decided to produce a remake because he felt that the original had not aged well and that the GameCube's capabilities could bring the game closer to its original vision. The game maintains the same graphical presentation, with 3D models superimposed on pre-rendered backgrounds. However, the graphics quality has been significantly improved. The remake also features new gameplay mechanics, revised puzzles, additional explorable areas, a revised script, and new story details, including an entire subplot cut from the 1996 version.

Upon its release, Resident Evil was acclaimed by expert critics, who praised its graphics and improved gameplay over the original game. He is often described as one of the best, scariest, and most visually impressive of the entire series. Despite this, the game sold less than expected, leading Capcom to change the approach of future titles, orienting them more towards action. In 2008, the game was ported to the Nintendo Wii, with a new control system. A high-definition version was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One in 2015, to positive critical reception and commercial success.
