Fortunately 2014 had been a largely quiet year for Resident Evil so we hadn't missed out on much that couldn't be caught up on. For us personally we'd been on hiatus for all of 2014 with no real plans to return as we'd covered all the core canonical titles and corresponding media, but it's amazing to see what a HD version of the greatest survival horror game of all time can do to get people interested again. Despite this, the result was still a success and it was wonderful to see groups of long-time fans being able to try out the game for the very first time. Season 3 of the podcast largely came about because of one major factor and that was Capcom's decision to take the original 2002 Game Cube remake of the original game and remaster it for the latest generation of consoles in glorious high-definition.Īs expected this news was welcomed by a majority of the community although the gloss was somewhat spoiled when it was revealed Capcom had lost a majority of the original 3D assets and therefore the remaster was more of a paint job than a true HD reworking.
