This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

That's the HD remaster that came out like 10 years ago. They most certainly did not make that on windows 98.

It also helps that the game uses locked perspective scenes.

Not just that, but prerendered backgrounds, too.

All games could look like this if they got 48 hours to render each frame and their entire realtime render budget went to three character models, total and nothing else.

I mean, I dispute that games don't look better than that in the first place, too. Grainy embedded screenshot aside, the RE1 remake definitely doesn't look any better, even with all that, than the newer remakes.

Just to nitpick, the HD remaster is a remaster of the 2002 remake, so it's a bit older than 10 years.

Yeah, but its still using rebuilt HD assets which make it look way better than the original game its based off of.

...which is a half-assed port of the GameCube remake.

If you get it, expecting it to be the same kind of remake as Resident Evil 2, prepare to be extremely disappointed.
