Great news for Resident Evil fans as Capcom officially announced today the rumored remake for Resident Evil on PC, PS4, Xbox One, PS3 and X360. Resident Evil will be available to purchase digitally across North America and Europe in Early 2015, and you can view below its first screenshots.

Game resolutions and textures have been significantly upgraded using the latest resolution enhancement and 3D model technology, including 1080p support on next-gen consoles, resulting in characters and backgrounds coming to life in greater detail.

According to Dark Side of Gaming, gamers will not only be astounded with the graphics but the incredible sound effects have been fully remastered with 5.1 surround support for a greater gaming experience. 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 never changing 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. New gamers would not have a hard time figuring out the control system. It is well-designed to keep up with 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.
