Capcom has announced that the original Resident Evil is being remastered for a digital release in 2015 on PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
The game will be based on the Gamecube version, will run at 1080p/30fps on PS4 and Xbox One and 720p/30fps on PS3 and Xbox 360. You'll be able to choose between playing the game in its classic 4:3 ratio or in 16:9 widescreen, and have a choice of control styles.
Here's some of the official blurb from Capcom:
"Using the latest resolution enhancement and 3D model technology, game resolutions and textures have been significantly upgraded, including 1080p support on next-gen consoles, resulting in characters and backgrounds coming to life in greater detail than ever seen before in Resident Evil. Not only will the graphics impress but the tense sound effects have been fully remastered with 5.1 surround support for a greater gaming atmosphere. Players are now able to choose not only between experiencing the terror at the classic 4:3 ratio or a stunning 16:9 widescreen mode but also the type of control scheme they play with. The classic control scheme remains for fans of the original play style or there’s an alternative scheme where the character moves directly in the direction of the analogue stick, utilizing the standards of the current generation of gaming. Both the control scheme and the display options can be toggled between at any time during gameplay."
