We need a classic Trilogy Collection

[Lost Drunk]

Since Capcom vanished the old classic titles on timeline, could be a good chance to make a collection for modern consoles with RE1, RE2 and RE3.
Anyway must have some changes in general for a perfect experience. My idea:

1. Graphics
A real upscale on pre-rendered backgrounds (not just a generic filter) at least for 1080p and better textures for characters/enemies like was done in Final Fantasy VIII Remastered.

2. Item Box, Menu, Map and Inventory
Two options on this:
> Give a good upscale
> A same new layout for all games
* I believe that portraits don't need to be touch (just a upscale must be enough)

3. Region Versions
Make a option for players to choose between USA and Japanese versions.
* Still having the different modes like "Arranged" in RE1 as special mode feature.

4. New features
A- Add a option to skip the door animations.
B- Make a option/mode where can play using infinite ammo for any weapon. RE2 code for it, Rookie Mode and RE3 Mercenaries rewards could be removed. The option/mode could be only get enable after complete the games in both USA/JP versions.
* Infinite Rocket Launcher should keep as a unlocker in normal mode.
C- A new mode like Extreme Battle/Mercenaries for RE1 (maybe a RE1 Wesker version of The 4th Survivor). These modes could unlock bonus content like gallery and concept art.
D- Funny alternative characters models for main stories like this:
Chris/Wesker/Barry
Jill/Rebecca
Leon/Hunk
Claire/Ada
Jill (RE3)/Brad (?)

There's pretty much zero chance of this happening.

Also, ♥♥♥♥ upscaling. It's godawful and there's almost no chance capcom still has the original source assets to work from.

I have no faith about this happens too. The most closest is a release like that was done in Mega Man X Legacy Collection using a type of hidden emulator.
Anyway is not that hard the company still having the assets. The same was tell about Square around Final Fantasy IX/Chrono Cross for years and now we have at least a minimal decent port.
Make a upscale today is not impossible due have some tools to extract files from discs and the AI learning machines.
Yeah, I'm a fool waiting for a good product.

I already know about this project and is impressive how fans can do what a big company can't. (or just not want)
This project is a perfect example that old games can get a full modern experience. Unfortunately it all depends on the company.

Door skip was always there with the PC versions.

Considering that a collection like this can be a cross-platform release and also based on RE1 Remake and Zero HD versions the door skip feature is easily forgotten by developers.

This is the PC version, I streamed it a while back for the first time in a lot of years.

S rank.

Nice video!
I never played RE classics PC version but the 3D textures on this title is already great in this version. The pre-rendered background a little more definition to look less pixelated should be enough for a classic-modern experience and the door skip works well.
This is a thing that prove Capcom can do a fair quality collection. Maybe in 2025/2027 when already have the RE6 remake...

That's even less likely, given the amount of work it would need, and the existance of the remakes. Quite unfortunate.

Remake on RE1 2002 style will never happen by Capcom. Again the only thing that can be done is a collection based on original work.
Unfortunalety a collection like Mega Man franchise Legacy is a poor way to give fans a farewell to original content and at same time even with a lazy work RE classic games could be a great deal to profit if adding some new simple features.
The last time where a fangame based on original content had a near 1:1 remake/remaster experience Capcom just forced the project to take down. (hello Nintendo)

Old games are not for everyone and is not obsolete for who still enjoy playing games on emulators. On GOG foruns you will see several people that still waiting games like it with a modern quality port/fixes.
Anyway Capcom couldn't let the classic games get in limbo without a last product to remind why these games was fantastic for franchise history.

So I got it wrong!
I think in this way only textures from original RE1 is that bad while RE2 and RE3 look a sweet spot (at least for the Playstation age), but for a re-release the RE1 2002 style is really perfect.
In RE1 2002 the characters interact with the environment mainly the shadows so even if do better textures this can to be or not a good thing without the same interaction.
Will be funny see how the developers can works on these experimental changes. (in a hypothetical way of course )
