Resident Evil 4 HD and Code Veronica X HD Both Confirmed for XBLA

Richard Walker

Well, it's officially official: Resident Evil 4 HD and Resident Evil: Code Veronica X are both coming to consoles, but not as a collection as first thought. Each will be released as downloadable games via the Xbox Live Arcade, with - as the suffix suggests - enhanced high-definition visuals.

Both games will be released to coincide with the 15th anniversary of the Resident Evil series, with Resident Evil 4 HD seeing Leon Kennedy stranded in a strange backwards village infested with Las Plaga-infected locals, while Code Veronica has Claire Redfield fighting through the remote Rockfort Island in the wake of the Raccoon City incident. Here, she encounters the insane Alfred Ashford and his even more insane sister, Alexia.

Resident Evil 4 HD will include Ada Wong's 'Separate Ways' campaign whereas Code Veronica X offers the definitive director's cut version of the game released on PS2. Check out some comparison screens of Resident Evil 4 HD, to see the difference between the old standard definition visuals and the shiny new HD look. We can't help but think that the effect is somewhat exaggerated, but you get the idea. You can scrutinise all five shots in the gallery.

Resident Evil 4 HD and Resident Evil: Code Veronica X HD will be coming to XBLA this fall 2011, with achievements, obviously.

  • HAHA! I hope their not short, cuz that would kill the games.
  • :)
  • worst news of the year for me
  • Yes! A fall gaming season just got even better.
  • Naise! Can't wait to download both of these ^-^
  • Finally my chance to play the game everyone talks about when the genre of horror comes up. Bring on the scares!
  • If these come out at 1200 points and someone bitches i will open a can of whoop ass...
  • I love resi 4 and code Veronica I would happily pay for these beasty classics again even though I already own them both for the greatest console ever(Dreamcast).
  • @1 what u mean by short?? They will be full games like on consoles
  • Awesome, I could never get into RE4 on the Wii even though I loved watching my brother play it.
  • Yay cheevos! Though I mostly just hope they aren't too expensive, or that they go on sale quick and early. I think I've bought each of these games a few times already. lol
  • awww they will only have 12 achieves(200gs) :(
  • Code Veronica! Best Resident Evil... EVER!!
  • More than likely get 4, kinda disappointed its not full retail though, 1000G > 200G
  • Call me old fashioned, but I like disc-based games better. I also don't like buying too many XBLA games that are massive (ie several GB), which clearly both of these will be. I don't like to delete my games, but this recent trend of HUGE-ASS XBLA games is starting to get me worried about my HDD space. I will probably end up buying these anyway, but I would of preferred them on a disc as a collection, and obviously therefore also with 1000G instead of a puny 200G. Disappointed by this news to be honest.
  • Ah damn, was still playing through res4 on gamecube, that last picture looks like a spoiler :( Ohwell its an old game anyway. I never really liked res4 much, And code veronica from what i saw of it i did not like. Res2 please.
  • Not many comments on here actually making any sense at all. The difference between the SD and HD in these shots is very noticeable though, looking good.
  • Won't be getting resident actiongame 4, but am hyped for Code Veronica ! Still have it on ps2.
  • @4 Explain? Release all of them!!!!
  • Typical Capcom, why release two things together when you can sell both individually.
  • w00t! I'm for sure getting Code Veronica X for XBLA. Sick game. Loved it. RE4 sucked.
  • Was hoping for retail, even if they were on one disc, that would at least be 500 each, which is better than 400 for both D:
  • :O))))
  • From the looks of it, it looks like they only made the game darker. But, I do like the sound of achievements and HD for Code Veronica and Resi 4. Do it Capcom and let us have it.
  • @1 if its too short replay it =P
  • YES YES YES ! Happy dance.
  • Yes! That's awesome news. Can't wait to pick these both up on XBLA. :D No idea why people are complaining though; yesterday everyone wanted releasing - they all got their wish, it's just by XBLA instead of retail. It makes no difference (if anything, it'll work out cheaper seen as I'm sure a collection would have been £30 minimum).
  • I just fu*king came. four times! Awesome news. You don't like it, don't buy it. Simple as that. Resident Evil 4 was great in my opinion and that's all that matters to me.
  • OMFG!!! More Resident Evil on Xbox is great news!!! But if their going to release a RE pack, they may as well whore out the series and add 1, 2, and 3 to it. Hopefully the kiddies that are used to RE5 can appreciate an older game like Veronica.
  • That Krauser knife fight is so awesome. That whole game is awesome. It's been a while since I've played the old RE games, I'm looking forward to playing through them again.
  • #28 impressive, was that four times in the space of a couple minutes ?
  • no retail release? not everyone has xbox live, 1000gs>>200gs, constant deletion of games on harddrive, no chance of selling game again just some of the reasons why i hate an aracde release a pity since RECVX and 4 are two of the best games ever
  • Lmfao at everyone bitching about the games being on XBLA and the main reason being "Wahhh I WANT MY 1000G =[" Shut the fuck up and deal with it, I don't give two shits about it not being "1000G" I'm just happy that the games are actually being re-released and I can play them again. Fucking achievement whores always bitching.
  • Playing the Entourage theme song to this new....oh yeah oh yeah!
  • @ 31 - I can't remember. I'm too busy trying to get my leg to stop shaking.
  • Chuffed they're both being released, especially as #4 was probably the best we've had so far. Pity it's XBLA only, would have preferred a Retail Copy instead of clogging up my HDD . . . Regardless, Day 1 purchase!
  • #33 i dont know whether or not your posy was directed at me but like i said, that is just one of the reasons why xbla releases suck, retail releases are better in every way
  • @ 32 - Can't you sign up for Silver (free) and still download Arcade/Indie titles? I've been on Live since I bought a box so I couldn't tell ya. It would be a shame to miss out on it if you're a fan. RE4 was a nice long game with excellent added features. I'm expecting a 1600 MSP cap but wouldn't pay more for an XBLA title. We'll see.
  • The 'HD' screenshots look as good as I remember the Gamecube version being. Must just be my memory.
  • No interest in either game really only clicked this to see what all the fuss was about as im so bored. Only thing good about any resident evil game is the fact the number 5 had coop and that was still a massive let down
  • i would of liked them to be retail releases but if its XBLA i cant complain because we are still getting them in some form. i wouldnt be trading it in anyway so not like im missing out on making money back. ive never bought a arcade game for 1200msp, any that are 1200 ive bought on sale but id pay 1200 a piece for these. i doubt we will get resi 1-3, maybe we got these as they have been multi format, resi 4 on ps2, gc, wii and CVX on DC,PS2,GC. would love 1-3 as arcade titles. never say never, if these sell as well as i reckon they will they would be stupid to not release more. people clearly love the resi series and will pay for it
  • Now they need to come out With RE zero, one, two, and three
  • Since the GC version was on mini DVD which is only 1.7GB and DC version was on GD-ROM which is only 1GB maximum, I guess it's theoretically possible to get a higher resolution game within the size limitations of XBLA. They really should do all 6 pre-RE 5 games on XBLA, and release a compilation disc version as well.
  • So I'm assuming that they've done away with the whole 'only in Japan' thing. I'm probably wrong, but I want this so bad... :(
  • I hope it looks like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JE0Yzhg1xwE otherwise I don't think I'll get it, my wii component version is doing good so far.
  • Take my wallet, Capcom.
  • @20, actually this is a bit weird of Capcom. They could have put this on one disc and put some artwork and called it 15th Year Revival Edition or something and slapped $60 or $70 price sticker. Going XBLA the highest they could probably go for is 1600 MSP which is only $20 and people might only buy one of the two games. Code Veronica is really an outside story, some people do not like it as much, so Re fans might buy only RE4 and not CV. I'd say they lost some opportunities by doing this. I'd have gladly paid full retail price for a disc with both games and achievements worth 1000+ gamerscore.
  • @8 Re4 on dreamcast??? when was that relased
  • if only Capcom would take their balls outta Sonys mouth and release the classic Resident Evils on Xbox, (Res Evil DC Just Got Released On PSN Hmmmmmmm)Code Veronica & Res 4 great but nothing will beat Res Evil 2, Come on CAPCOM!!!
  • Oh I am a happy person, my wish from yesterday has come true. Code Veronica!
  • RESIDENT EVIL 1,2+3 IN A COLLECTION BOXSET IS WHAT WE WANT!!!
  • What we also need to see is Resident Evil: 0. That game is also beautiful and has an amazing story. If only Capcom is intelligent (which they seem to be at times), they'd go Resi: 0, Resident Evil (Gamecube Version), Resi 2... Nice and easy money. And we'd say "thank you"! :)
  • BEST.NEWS.EVER Can't wait to play a million times through RE4...The Rocket Launcher...Tommy Gun...The wicked Plagas-Laser...Ashley in the armor.... :D
  • Capcom truly drives me crazy! This should be retail @30-40 bones... its like every time they announce something awesome, they do/say somethin else that brings it down. It'll still be beast to play, but I wanted a hard copy and 1000G on these great games...
  • I had to login just to express how happy this makes me. @53 - everything you said. RE4 was one of the greatest games on PS2. Hey Capcom - let's get the Onimusha HD games out!
  • THIS is good news indeed. I creamed my pants. I cannot wait for the chance to play Resident Evil 4 again. Even though I own both on the PS2. This is bloody good news for a fan of Resident Evil.
  • Capitalismcom. GEDDIT?
  • will get Code Veronica X but already played the shit out of re4 on my ps2
  • Any achievements?
  • @37 Except one thing. Retail games are WAY more expensive.
  • the 1000 vs 200 GS topic aside, the main thing is that these games are gonna be HUGE. I'd rather get them on a disc then have them take up my entire hard drive.
  • I was hoping for a retail box set release. I wouldn't have minded 1000 gs per game either.
  • #60, not when you consider the fact that you can wait for them to drop in price, buy used, or just sell them again arcade releases you just gotta hope that a price drop may come, whereas retail releases are guaranteed to drop and like i said you can always sell them again and get your money back
  • Best news since yesterdays resident evil post :D A little bit disappointed about the it being an arcade game, hopefully both gets the same treat as perfect dark with 20 achievements. And perhaps if they sell good (which they most likely will) Capcom will bring us Resident Evil 1,2 and 3? :D
  • HELL YEAH!!!!! BEST NEWS IVE HEARD ALL DAY!!! Cant wait to kick some more ass with the PRL-412!!!
  • Beat RE4 3 times, on GC, 1 time on PS2, twice on wii, and now its on XBOX lol here we go again XD, i don't even care if it has achievements, this is one of the greatest games of last generation :P
  • Bahahahaa!! RE4 was my favorite GC game, I beat it so many times once I got the Chicaco Typewriter and Infinite Rocket Launcher. Get your hands on those fuckers and you are UNSTOPPABLE. I was trying for that unlimited magnum but damn that other mode was tough. :( Great news, I'm gon' buy the shit out of it.
  • the SD sides of all those screens have just been made to look worse while the HD side only slightly better, just to make it look like a big difference. however i CANT WAIT
  • Yas oh ya dancer this is going to be it the awesome 2 games off all time are coming to XBLA baby!!!
  • awesum news
  • FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!
  • This is fantastic news, but where the hell are 1,2 and 3??? I know CV and 4 was probably the best in the series, but come on, those 3 are still epic games. With the PS3 rumored to have the Resident Evil collection HD coming soon (1,2,3 on disc) I think I will probably buy CV and 4 on PSN (if they release there too which they likely will). Unless M$ can knockout 1,2,3 also.
  • "I'll buy it at a HIIIGH price!"
  • This is amazing first day buy for me always been a RE fan now if only they could put all the other 1-3 on XBLA
  • Hang on a second, dont want to spoil everyones excitement but........is this defo gonna b available outside of japan? The last report (when they said disc based) said it was japan only. Fingers crossed it is in the UK. Glad its not a double pack tho, yes that means 200gs instead of 1000gs but i never liked veronia so only interested in resi4. Hopefully they get the licence open from the gc ports n exclusive so we can get zero, 1 (remake) & the ports of 2&3. ...Tho hopefully they get given a tune up
  • Man re4 might be like 4 or 5 GB or more
  • @33. You do realize what website youre on, right?
  • @ 76 Lets hope it's not over 4GB. even though I have a 120 GB, but for other people they may be tight on space. Anywho, i'm pumped more for this year to end so I can play RE4
  • What is this shit? I played RE4 on PC and it looked like right side of screens... What am I missing here? Surely left side is not in HD?...
  • They're gonna be on the Arcade? See, now I'm not in the least interested in getting these. Probably 1200 to 1600 points each, only 200 gamerscore a piece, and they'll take up considerable space on the HDD. So no thank you. I'm all for revamped versions of classic games, but I'd like them on disk, please.
  • As usual - If you're basing the idea of a purchase on this majority for Achievements/Gamerscore - Way to perpetuate the symptom of Wasting Money. If you're buying a game to increase your little e-penis scorekeep then you're the mook wasting anywhere from the arcade prices of $10 to retail of $60. Sucks to be you if this is your argument. I got out of the Achievement Whoring game for such reasons. Lost a lot of money and now, I enjoy games for what they are.
  • The right side of the screens definitely look better than what I remember from this game on GameCube. But the left side doesn't accurately reflect the lower definition graphics these screens suggest. Either way, I'll be getting these when they come out. Resident Evil 4 was indubitably the best game in the series.
  • @#77 And that's the best you can do? You realize it was said like gazillion times?? Some ppl comehere for news only (like myself) and while not bashing I do not understand 200 extra GS for amazing game being such a problem.... Unless you all would rather pay $120 for both new games in full retail? I for one am happy they will be cheaper, even if the had no cheevos at all I would still buy a great game like this:-)
  • Since this is going to be an arcade game, I'm assuming the price would be 1200msp. That would be a steal. I was ready to pay $60 for Resident Evil 4 again. It's a shame it will only have 200gs though. @81 You do realize this is an achievement based site?
  • @ 83 - We bump heads every now and then on news threads sir but you just sang my tune.
  • Hell yea. "Is that pink underwear?" "Your such an ass" Plus more leon on the box? YES
  • @ 84 - I'm going to lay the sarcasm on pretty thick just so ya know - NO?!! REALLY? Yes, this is a WEBSITE genius. I'm talking about the game purchase itself. Has little to do with the website itself. Most of these jobbers will write off a game or buy a game based solely on the achievements. That's not what this website is about nor should it have any standing on YOUR opinion of a game or purchase. Got any other brilliant observations? Aw who am I kidding, you're cute. *tussles hair* Now get outta here.
  • I don't care if they charge 1600 MSP each for these will defiantly be buying! RE4 is one of my favorite games of all time i remember beating it like 18 times on gamecube then pre-ordering the wii version and beating it another 10 times. I will probably beat it another 10 times on 360 as well i can't wait.
  • ive just noticed something i looked up when resident evil was made and its march 22nd 1996 so the 15th anniversary of the Resident Evil series was 2 days ago so does that mean resident evil comes out next week :D (hopes so)
  • This is the best new of the month :)!!!!!
  • this is bullshit. I want retail -.-
  • the only thing im worried abut is the download size...this could be huge and i might not have the space
  • @ 91 - You realize it would most likely be sold for about double if not more than the arcade pricing and all you'd be getting is 30 more achievements to unlock. It's coming with all the modes of the PS2, HD and so on. I'd consider that a steal for the most likely $20 (1600 MSP) pricetag. Plus it's right there on your HDD. I see a lot of people enjoying Beyond Good and Evil on XBLA with little to no complaint. Why should this be any different?
  • Looks like more screen brightness to me ..
  • @93 I don't give a damn about achievements to be honest regarding Resident Evil. I just love the series and I never got the chance to play Code Veronica because it is banned where I live (Germany). And in Resident Evil 4 there's the Mercenaries Mode missing. So Resident Evil 4 is going to be released only as a cut version in Germany and Code Veronica won't even get on the German Xbox marketplace. This is why I would prefer a retail version, so I could be able to import it from the UK, you see?
  • I'll pick up code veronica since I never played it before but I'll probably pass on re4 since I played it on ps2 and gamecube.
  • @ 95 - Eek. My apologies to you. I was unaware of your location and the limitations. I feel for you sir. That does suck and right now, I'm probably a tad bias towards discs since my box is giving me a disc reading dilema but I would take either/or - disc or download. This regional shit does suck and whatnot. It's fiction, it's rated for adults so why bother banning or cutting the product? No wallet toting adult has the right to be set back from these awesome games/features so my hopes go out for you that you don't get shafted. Here's hoping man. *fingers crossed*
  • Wait wait wait... so this is the FULL GAME right? Too many people going, "not worth full price for a short game". 1200msp and I'll consider, even tho I'm not a huge fan of RE4. I'd like to move AND shoot... sorry, but it's the 21 Century. Same goes to you RE5. Now, the original Silent Hill... I could get down with that. :)
  • I don't see this as good news only because I've played the hell out of these two games on my PS2 while HD still isn't a good reason to get those two games.
  • @ 99 - Aside from the info I just learned from the good sir CaineMF, if you're a fan - ANY updated RE on the current Gen = Good News. Can't deny it.
  • @87 u got out of being an achievement whore but now spend ur time on this website bashing people? u have posted the most out of everyone, if u have nothing nice to say, dont say it
  • @ 87 - I have plenty of nice things to say and stop exaggeratin that "I just bash people". You'll find more of me agreeing or apologizing than insulting. I fire a few quips and today has been a slow ass workday so I have some posting downtime. Seriously, research your accusations.
  • F#$*!!!!! I meant @ 101 - Mapleleafs32. Eh.
  • @ 89 Did you even read the date at the end of the post? Says Fall of 2011
  • By the way, there were just some details about this multiplayer game of RE on Kotaku and it is called Operation Raccoon City, just for those of you who are interested in the series :P
  • @102 u d know u answering ur own number (87 is you)i can see you said some agreeing statements but ur being arrogant and sarcastic to peoples opinions. maybe its time to do your job and not be on websites at work.
  • @ 106- Done with your ignorance. Response on your page.
  • @ 100. I'm a big RE fan while HD still isn't a good reason to get those two games especially when I already have them on the PS2.
  • @106 still not working. this is a place for people to learn and interact about a specific topic. IMO this is great news, i hope capcom learns from fans and maybe then will make it retail. i would love to have a collectors version becuase i love RE4. im done here. good luck everyone
  • @106 I'm not meaning to bitch about you but as I see it Doctor Zoidberg here is at least one of the few people with a good diction. Also don't get pissed off by sarcasm and arrogance on the internet. Wrong place :D
  • @ 109 - UH OH! Guess who just did what I did? *snickers* Sir, we can go back and forth calling each other names. Point is, I'm not arrogant. I'm a wiseass. Huge difference and Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I just may not agree with it but I'd never say they should do/like things a certain way. @ 108 - Fair enough. My PS2 bugged on me years ago and there were still titles I'd love to keep playing over and over - Shadow of the Colossus, Kingdom Hearts, etc but I'm practically a full on Xboxer till I can get a PS3. If it works for you, then ignore whatever my stupid ass said (
  • im just worried about space. they struggled to hae the games on one disc on the gamecube. i think its going to be atleast 5 gigs. is anyone on the same page as me?
  • @112 I'm not that much worried about the space as I am about having them games in my shelf next to each other. :/ Thats how it's supposed to be!
  • @ 112 - Trust me, I'm with you on that. My 60 Giger is down to 4 GB and I keep trying to delete games/add-ons I don't play. Like I said tho, currently, I'd prefer a D/L title since I've got too much on my financial plate to up and buy a new box w/o a warranty. Again tho, I'd take one or the other if it was available. I want old RE's on the current gen. Period. And your friendship. Please?
  • @112 yeah i see ur point i just think that having as a arcade it wont sell as well if it was retail. i believe people value their hard drive space more then their money :p
  • @ 115 - That's twice now. You owe me something tangible lol
  • @114 friendship accepted, im just want people to share knowledge with each other. i aplogize for judging. i have had bad experiences on this website with people attacking others. OTH, i believe capcom is smarter then these retail. not for the achievements but for the 15th anniverasry. they must figure out a way to package in a nice case and i dont know a art book? look at the anniversary for mario. great collection
  • I'm feeling a 1600 price tag on each of these, I would of preferred a collection on disc but this is great news regardless
  • 1200 or 1600 points?
  • @113, I'm with you dude. Happy with the games either way but (call me old fashioned) I'd love to see those titles on my shelf in my collection. Also RE 1-3 (and Zero as I've never played it). Later maybe a little Dino Crisis (1 not 2) and Onimusha would be nice too.
  • @ 117 - Totally forgiven. *hugz* Been there sir. I constantly get hazed for what we just went through. I don't bash people for their opinion. Maybe their stupidity when displayed but even so, I don't be all vulgar like most of these ninies calling people morons or just constantly cussing at them. I figure, if I'm wrong - what's going to happen? It's the internet. I get verbally abused. Oh the noes! As I said, I display more humility and recognition than douchebaggery, i just try to give a little comical twist to show it's just debate. I'm done here though before more people get on my case for constantly posting. Good to see that people can get past mediocre BS though. Good day good sir.
  • Too bad I just downloaded the 4 for PC with HD texture pack. Now playing on my HDTV with XB360 controller..... wait, damn....... no achievements............. heck, Ill buy it lol
  • @33, look up in your address bar...xbox360___achievements___.org derp. I'd still rather have the disc even with 200G each. I hope the import is playable in a us console.
  • @116, I feel you about the price between a retail and a XBLA but at least for me I have such a deep love for the franchise I would gladly pay a full retail but I know not everyone has it like that or, even if they do, find RE to be worth that kind of expenditure.
  • Great. I sadly never finished Resident Evil 4, but I'll be downloading it day one for the arcade!
  • great news!!!!!
  • @120 To be honest 0 is by far one of the worst games of the series. The gameplay is okayish, but all in all there's just too much wrong. No chest, for the love of god :( I still haven't finished it. I would love to see a Remake of 2 & 3 as they did it with the original, that was just epic.
  • Hey, they could both be in black & white and I'd still buy them. xD
  • Awesome! I've been feening to play through RE4 again.
  • That's my day just got a hell of alot better reading that, i hope they release the whole back catalogue including the remake of resident evil that was released on the gamecube.
  • I bought RE4 on PS2 a few months before I bought PS3. Never did get to finish it (even though my PS3 is backwards compatible). NOW I get to finish it AND get achievements. SCORE!
  • Amazing!!! I cant wait for this one to hit the XBLA...If you are a fan of the series you gotta love this one..I just cant barely wait
  • RE4 with achievements=heaven! I love RE4, and it is one of my favorite games of all time! Definite day 1 download, even though I have it for the wii. I will also make sure to check out Code Veronica X, since I have never played it.
  • Claire,Claire,Claire and again Claire.
  • I've been hoping news like this would come around since Resident Evil 5 came out on the 360. Picking up both Day 1. I really hope there are no "5 star every stage, with EVERY character" like achievement. I can do Hunk, Wesker and Krauser but trying to do it with Leon and Ada? I'll have to do steroids. Would feel good to get something like that though.
  • @ 135 - I preferd Leon for the 5 staring most next to Hunk, Krauser and Wesker. That shotgun had it's moments. Get enough to chase you and back into a corner? BUCKSHOT! Move! Rinse and repeat. Chainsaw fluckers were my issue.
  • oooooooooo yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh sssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhwwwwwwwwwwiiiiiingggggggg im so excited i loved this on the ps2 and i never played cod veronica
  • Happy happy joy joy, happy happy joy joy . . .
  • This is probably the best thing that could happen. I hope the achievements are difficult and not just finish the game on easy. The only thing that could possibly be better than this is to have Resi 1-3 as well. Or Silent Hill and Project Zero 1-3 :P
  • I prefer XBLA games rather than disc versions for those remakes. I have two 360, and so, it able me to use the games on both of them at the same time (like if my brother also wants to play to it). I buy the game with my gamertag on my first xbox 360, which able the other gamertags on the same 360 to be able to use the game, then I retrieve my gamertag on my 360 slim and can play the game as long as I'm connected to the xbox live (nice for the co-op games). With a disc-based version, I would need to buy two discs which means "double price". About the achievements, that's not a big deal for me. I do the achievements of the games I liked but I don't choose the games I'm buying depending of the achievements they offer, so 200G per game is fair enough for me. For those two games, I didn't play them when they were first released (I did "Resident Evil" 1.2.3 and 5), so that's just a perfect opportunity to do them :)
  • @32 Arcade games are released in Gamestop on the prepaid cards as well, just like the MS points cards or membership cards.
  • Resident Evil 2 & 3 in HD Please, Thanks you~ games before everyone cried about how hard they were, blah blah blah
  • I have resident evil 4 for gamecube and the Wii and i have RE code veronica for gamecube and PS2 but none of them have any achievements so will definitely be getting both of these day 1. This was my favorite game series until that garbage they called resident evil 5
  • @43 RE:CV was on 2 GD-Roms but probaly isn't more than 1.3gb,i mean they'd have very similar texture files on each cd though.
  • My 120GB Hardrive is now fully justified ^.^
  • #3 is a moron. Anyway. DO WANT. Got RE4 Wii Edition, I'd gladly pay 1200 Msp for it on Xbox with updated graphics, just hope it includes all the extras that were in the Wii Edition, for some reason I can see Capcom cutting some stuff out and making it another 400 Msp to get the other content in the originals, like Operation Ada. Never played Code veronica though, I might get it, I always crap bricks playing the older games but I might actually try to stick it out this time, baha :D
  • nice, played RE4 for wii never bought it though cant wait for it on xbox now gunna be awesome :D
  • Yes, this sounds like awsome sauce but shouldnt they just remake Biohazard with RECVX? I mean Resident Evil 4 was along time ago but people are still playing it well atleast more than all the other games.
  • @139 i agree i personally hope these games will have hard achievemnts like S rank each mission on professional (like DMC4) & unlock the handcannon (5 star all mercenary missions vith every character) i think of it as just bonus to add to the replay value and experience the full game :)
  • sweet
  • Like cod classic and alien breed 1 2 3 worm2 and more ill stick with the ps3 version full platium over 200.
  • My last Ps2 game I bought, played it for hours and hours this well-being back a lot of memories :) but I can only pray for 1000 Gs :(
  • R.E.4 best in the series by far = Definate Purchase, Now we just need a HD remake of Morrowind the greatest Elder Scrolls game :)
  • @8: how do you have RE4 on Dreamcast? i smell some bs.
  • res 4 i cant wait for, shame its not a full retail release with 1000 gamerscore, not so stoked about veronica as i dont really like the old control method, tho i do like the idea of updated games, id like to see the first 3 re made for the xbox , and also metal gear solid too and of course a final fantasy 7 remake too
  • any hope that they will release it as a "games on demand" instead of a arcade game and give us the 1000 points we want. 200 will do as long as they have some really original/difficult ones.
  • I was hoping a retail disc and 1000G...:( but oh well i love RE4 and i'll get it for sure!!
  • looking forward to this but would like resi 1-3 remakes also loved all 3 of them but resi evil 2 if any plz capcom :)
  • @ 153. This isn't a remake at all while its just a graphical upgrade. @ 154. You're smelling BS especially when the only RE that Sega had was Code Veronica while that was on the Dreamcast. @ 158. The only RE that was remade was RE1 with the DS and Gamecube while the other REs got upgraded graphics. I agree that an actual RE2 remake would be nice.
  • Sick full Resident Evil 4 in HD amazing.
  • Sweet. Kind of looks like they have remade them using the RE5 engine, or a slightly dumbed down version of it
  • I'll take the old visuals, the darker look adds to the atmosphere of the games.
  • Fuck ya! About bloody time too. Hope theres more then 12 achievements per game and come on capcom do the rest of the resident evil series.
  • Sounds good:) hopefully there are difficult achievements so i dont just play through once:)
  • I was just thinking...doesn't the typically 200 gamerscore for the games that where from the xbox that are getting HD ports seem unjustified. Not like it's ever going to happen but at least 500 gamerscore for HD ports of these 10-20 hour games would be much nicer. Anyways nice to see these get HD ports i've had RE4 for Wii since the day it came out but only ever played about an hour, same with RE:CV on Gamecube.
  • Awesome! Can't wait for Resident Evil 4! :) Totally a first day buy for me!
  • The HD version of Resident Evil 4 better be back-flip awesome. I've already bought this game twice for my gamecube and wii.
  • "worst news of the year for me" How can somethin like that be the worst news of the year for ya? It's called don't click on purchase on the dashboard, mr intelligent.
  • Wow, there are a lot of comments about this news! I will be getting RE4, don't know about Code Name Veronica, never played it. I will have to look at some of the reviews when it comes out.
  • Yay and Boo. Yay, because yesterday I read RE4 for 360, and ive actually been thinking about it all day at work how awesome it was going to be! Boo, because I was looking forward to lots of neat achievements and the whole 1000g. Ive yet to finish BG&E because it just feels like i could be earning bigger numbers elsewhere (PS, LOVE BG&E and i also love the other games im playing, so its not like im JUST playing for the points, however it definatly helps me deside what to play) TL;DR - YAY RE4 HD!!!!!
  • "Hey! Stop that, you pervert!" on XBLA = win
  • Hoped for a retail release, but this is good news for those that havent played them or would rather with a little bit more definition, reminds me I need to finish RE4 on pc, and then RE5 on PC. Code Veronica was fun on PS2 until I got a rare error "insert disc 2" near the end of the game, unfortunately its a single disc game!
  • I can't wait to play Resident Evil 4 for the millionth time. No, really, I love RE4. And now I can get some fun achievements in it? Radical. I also never got around to play CV (even though I own it for the GameCube) so this will give me an excuse to finally sit down and play it.
  • I'll buy them at a high price. heh
  • @#7 - I just want you to realize that you can buy RE4 for $10 new on PS2 at Gamestop, and Code: Veronica X for $7 used. And that most of the people excited for the games already own them in some form. So what are you opening anything on? Logical disappointment that it could cost $30 for something that you could easily buy for half that on PS2? OH BUT HD/CHEEVOS TOTALLY MAKE IT WORTH THE PRICE RIGHT? SUCH A DRASTIC CHANGE. In any case, I am probably going to get suckered into buying RE4 a 3rd time. Potentially CVX as well, simply because I don't feel like dealing with memory cards on the Gamecube anymore.
  • @7 LOL that actually made me chuckle! I agree, both games are well worth 1200! Resi 4 will be awesome to play again, I bought it for the wii and it was a good game, just didnt come with acheivments :P
  • yes! I cant wait 2 play resi 4 again and in hd too!
  • Thank god I don't have to waste my $ on another bs game that has Leon, Who is the worst character ever to be a part of the RE series, but losers (oh sorry noobs,same thing) Will buy RE4 since they never played the Original on Playstation or even know all the real characters that are Resident Evil, but I digress at least I can get Code Veronica (even if I own X on my Jap Dreamcast.
  • @33 the 1000G is all about the variety in achievements, not the fucking standard of playing through the game = 200G
  • this is good knews but I'm kinda upset if the games arent released together on disk for a few reasons: 1) Sometimes XBLA Games become Trials when not connected to live 2) The games will obviously take up alot of space on the hard-drive so many people may have to buy a new one or delete alot of things off their existing one (mainly I will) 3)Being a Resi Collector I wont be as happy having the games digitally. Having both games (or even the games Individually) on disc would make me alot happier. I've been following Resident evil from the beginning, aftewr watching my uncle palying it back in '96. Being 3 I didnt understand the horror and absolutely loved it. I actually laughed at all the exploding heads and what not. I already own these games on all consoles (Bar RE4 on PC and all the iPhone etc versions). I'd be very happy do see a disc release of these games. My only downside is now I gotta listen to Alfred and Steve's fucking annoying voices again... but no pain to gain! Now for me to go and but a new HardDrive and a Data Transfer Kit!
  • it should have been full retail with proper achievements unless its some short crappy version.
  • they are both great games and always worth a replay.Im glad they are coming out as a download on xbox but I mena come on Capcom stop dicking around and make another full game.
  • @ 179 - How's that smell with your head up your coolie? Leon isn't as prime as Redfield but he's had a bigger and more prominant role thus far. Awww, you don't like him? More people seem to and while it may be opinion either way, the numbers don't lie. If he was so weak, why did he get a bigger role? Say it a lot dude, YOU don't like him - fine. But RE2 is still one of the best in the series and guess who it stars? And wait..you've never played the original? Now I know your heads been up your ass. You talk a LOT of sh*t. Honesty hurts ma'am.
  • hell yeah awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Resident Evil 4 for 1200MS points? Is that not the biggest steal in video game history? I am most definately down for this. Still waiting on RE2 HD though.
  • Cool, been waiting for this for a long time
  • Hell yes! Never got to playing these games when they were released. Can't wait!
  • is this possibly the most commented bit of news ever?
  • did not play this one but loved the others i played. after reading this http://uk.cube.ign.com/articles/577/577841p1.html i am loving the thought of 360 hd version, bring it on peace
  • holy sweet jesus this is crazy. resident evil 4 is one of the greatest games/story-lines in gaming...trust me play it from start to finish and you will love it...then you will play it 10 more time no jokes. RE4 is a super fun game.
  • #192 11 Times? How dare you barely play Resident Evil 4! I've beat it ATLEAST 15 times on each console, on each difficulty!
  • Never played RE4. Soooooo stoked I finally get the chance, especially in HD.
  • Oh man im wainting for this games. I love Resident Evil and certainly will buy this 2
  • 800 MSP and i'm sold
  • >:O if they come with achievements I'm for sure getting them
  • @81 The only thing this new xbox version offers is HD graphics and achievements. I don't give a shit about HD graphics, and I have already played this game three times (Once on Gamecube, once on PS2, once on Wii.) That being said, the only reason I would ever contemplate buying this game a fourth time is to go achievement hunting. Since it's an arcade title, and will only have 12 achievements, I'm kind of bummed. A lot of other people are in the same boat. Please, don't go around on your high horse telling people that if they don't buy a game because of it's achievements that they are "wasting money", in fact, they are doing quite the opposite. Any self respecting gamer has played this game already, and unless it has some new and scintillating feature, such as 50 achievements to have fun unlocking, I am not going to buy it. If you ask me, that's being smart with my money.
  • who cares about HD if your a gamer you play for the game not how it looks
  • resident evil 4 is my favorite game of all time so i cant wait for this :D
  • hell yeah!!!
  • woah didnt think i would get to see resident evil 4 on the xbox live arcade i loved the wii version i played it through like 3 times never gets old for me
  • @198 Ya that guy (#81) is the biggest douche you will find on here. He thinks that every comment that is posted is directed towards him and everything he says is right.
  • reallyyy wicked
  • @ SuperGeek01 hey buddy:-) @ Flibbity Floid... Dude, you tryin to up your post count or somethin? STFU. Read through this to guage excitement and you've posted assloads of times. Seriously, shut the fuck up!
  • man i still got this game memerized i got this game 100% and everything unlocked on a PS2 memory card somewhere. at least i get some cheevos for a game i love.
  • At #206, same here. Will be getting both. Would be great if they did do the whole series.
  • by the way does anybody know when this shit even comes out. cant wait
  • will def buy both, just hopefully they have 1000GS since they're actual games and not just 200GS. will still buy both games though even though code veronica is stupid hard
  • it says its going be a XBLA title but ive heard rumours of it being a games on demand title.. im hoping it be a games on demand title, bit more expensive but 1000g :D
  • F**K YES!!! 2 of my fave games from the series!!
  • RE 4 was iconic. Definitely getting it. RE 4 was keeping my PS2 alive for some time. Played that game 3 times
  • im an achievement whore and i hate downloading xbla games but for code veronica i would do anything, never played 4 hopefully its good ive been waiting and hoping they would do this thanks capcom, i dont mind the 200gs for one of the greatest games ever
  • never finished Res 4 so would love to start again with achieveemnts. My guess as to why download. Probably a few things first download means they don't have to worry about packaging, disc burning and shipping costs. Secondly it means that shops cannot discount a game they may deem old and not give it shelf space. Thirdly, they are both remakes so capcom are probably testing the water to see how many people actually buy it. If it sales reasonably well on XBLA I reckon you will see a disc version in the future probably a double pack or something
  • LEEOONNN HELLPPPPPP
  • it is 1000g game
  • ahhh the same day of gears of war 3!!!!!!
  • SWEET! i loved the RE games but now that RE4 is conformed for XBLA heres hoping its 19.99 or less! enjoy the new games guys the ones in 2012 will replace this and so on so good luck with your peers on playing together with all this $59.99 bull.
  • "Ahh...I'll buy it at a high price! As long as it is under $20!".
  • @RabidMongoose89 it comes out September 20.
  • I has 1 more question...A lot of you want RE 1-3 on XBLA, but what about RE0?
  • @32 Also no sharing arcade games among friends
  • Awesome Res 4 prolly greatest in the series my opinion
  • @221 i agree, res 1,2 and im not sure about 3 were released for the psn and i never played zero but it looked amazin (like a zombie dino crisis)
  • Four more days... :3
  • woohoo! res 4, code veronica now they just need a final fantasy 7 DOC remake and im in heaven!!
  • I've been waiting so long for this. I had RE4 on gamecube and ps2 and loved it. @226 Amen on the FF7 but wishful thinking i'm sure but i would shit if it happened
  • @223 i agree and I would almost be willing to put Gears 3 on the back burner to get this but not quite, almost tho. That's saying alot cause I love me some gears and have been amped for 3
  • i love all the resident evil games!!!...except for outbreak and code veronica :/. what they should have done, since its the anniversary, is release resident evil 1 and 2 on live.
  • Anyone know if they're gonna get RE1-3 XBL?
  • Also everyone chill your tits. The DL games are all 1000g games. Very easy except for maybe 3 per game.
