Aside from the HD facelift previously seen in the XBLA and PSN ports of the game, the game will boast 60 frames per second and a slew of Steam goodies, including achievements, Steam Cloud, Trading Cards, leaderboards and full controller support. All the extras seen in previous releases of the game, such as the Separate Ways epilogue, will be present, alongside subtitle support in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese and Polish

The game will be made available digitally on Steam worldwide and will run you $19.99/€19.99, with a retail Windows version also slated for release in Europe, all slated for Feb. 28, 2014." - Patrick Kulikowski

Can't wait Love RE4 so PC version even better!

[MehmetAlperTR]

Too late. The Evil Within already anounced for PC, PS4, PS3, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Shinji Mikami rules.

[Marcello]

OMG !!! can this be true ?? a proper proper HD version ?? i hope all the Ada cutscenes are rendered aswell as thats never been seen before.

Not gonna too excited about this untill i see more but the 60fps has me drooling :P

[DigitalRaptor]

It's not. It's going to be another lazy port by Capcom. The exact same lazy port the PS3 and 360 received in 2011.

It's a good thing I had the patience to wait until it was 50% on PSN.

@marlec

This is nothing new, PC gamers already had HD mods for the game.

These sort of cheap tactics can work on the console crowd who dont have much BC options. Not the case with PC gaming.

[Marcello]

@DigitalRaptor & Decrypt

yep i agree with wat your saying that's why i said i want to see more first but that said they are clearly promising 60fps & that would have taken some decent tweaking at the source to create.

The trailer doesnt look like some super duper version thou so hopefully we will see some footage soon. Also it looks like its been taken from the PS2 port which was very inferior to the Gamecube version which had dynamic lighting.

Here`s the description from the steam store page.

Stunning HD running at a smooth 60 frames per second for the first time.

A complete visual overhaul has been performed to bring this revered title to the highest graphical quality ever.

Fully optimized for the wide screen, texts have been sharpened and textures have been upgraded on characters, backgrounds and in-game objects.

Steam platform support with Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud, Steam Trading Cards, global leaderboards, and full game controller support.

This new PC version will include everything from the prior iterations including subtitle support in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Japanese as well as previously released bonus content such as the Separate Ways epilogue.

I guess we will see come feb 28th

[ninjahunter]

Hopefully with mouse support this time.

[JohnnyTower]

$20?! Now that's how you release an HD version! I can't wait.

[Yodagamer]

Any word on mouse support? That plagued the original pc version.

[LightofDarkness]

Consider it bought. Cheers, Capcom.

[tigertron]

I smell a PS4 and Xbox One release.

This is Capcom after all...

[--bienio--]

Never play this part ( I know) first day buy but like somebody say any words about mouse and keyb??

[cyphertech]

As far as keyboard and mouse support, I'm gonna have to respond the way that other PC gamers typically react whenever you want to use a gamepad for anything. OH YOU WANNA USE A KB AND MOUSE FOR RE? HOW ABOUT YOU STOP BEING A PC KIDDIE AND USE A GAMEPAD. Feels so good to say that. It gets so annoying when you want basic information about a game and it's like pulling teeth because people would rather bash you for your gameplay preference.

[contradictory]

sounds good to me
hopefully i can use mouse this time

[mamotte]

I'm getting tired of all these "ultimate edition". Makes me want to never buy another game at launch.

[Eyeco]

Dude RE5 is almost 10 years old

[WeAreLegion]

The original version has mods that make it look much better than the "HD" version. Still, it would be nice to get achievements for it on Steam. I have played far more RE4 than any human being ever should.

[Tzuno]

well who can blame you, i know how good the game is and god knows that i have played this game more than one time, a thing that i cannot tell about the actual games on the market.

[oIITSBIIo]

This game is outdated .

[Kos-Mos]

Yeah, just like movies like Clockwork Orange and 2001 because they lack TEH GRAPHICS BABBBYYY!

[oIITSBIIo]

It lacks Gameplay .

it was one of the best of its generation but in 2014 it is not that good any more .

[WeAreLegion]

The game play holds up surprisingly well. Have you played it recently? It's still brilliant.

[oIITSBIIo]

I played it in 2012 and could not continue playing more than 1 hour it is really horrible after almost 9 years .

the game industry has become more advanced in terms of gameplay - Physics - animations - graphics .

I played it in 2005 on PS2 and it was very good at that time but as I said before it is outdated now .

[weirdo]

my favourite game of all time!

[Perjoss]

Good news that this is coming, however it is a little sad that the only way we can get good RE games these days is by buying the older ones over and over again.

Would be nice if they just sat down and made a list of what really makes the classic RE games so good and then inject all those features into a new high fidelity RE game with juicy production values.

But what do I know right?

[Sir_Baron]

Looks exactly the same as normal RE4. ¬_¬

Ultimate HD should have at least improved models and textures, rather than just running at high resolution.

[Nerdmaster]

Even though it's arguably the best game ever made, I prefer to play the Wii version because of the Wii remote.

But I'll buy it if it has support for 3D Vision.

[aquamala]

without the tank controls? I can finally play this game :)

[TardcoreGamer]

Sorry but it doesnt look like they actually improved the grachics at all....the textures still look low res as ever. "killer bonus content" huh. Care to mention any of it, Capcom? I can smell a quick cash grab from a mile away. Nice try Capcom.

[DigitalRaptor]

Will this actually be remastered in HD this time?

Not by the looks of it.

The PS3/360 port was so lazy, there were so, so many low-res textures that they didn't even bother touching. I bought it and it was the same game I know and love, but I shouldn't have paid Capcom for it.

[we420]

I'm all for Resident Evil, in fact it's on my list of favorite game series, but isn't HD graphics already possible through mods?

[Wikki]

Pre-release reward of a picture book and soundtrack...... no thanks. I'll wait until next Christmas when it's 10 bucks. Or I'll replay my GC version.

[RVanner_]

Lost count of how many times we played through this game.
