| I would like to express my disdain and disgust at Capcom's laziness with their so-called "remake" of Code Veronica. They have merely made the current graphics in HD, without actually updating them. This isn't personally a problem for me, as Code Veronica is a work of art, however it shows what a bunch of money-grabbing prostitutes Capcom have become.
Here is a screenshot:

It's really just the same, but slightly clearer. |

| That's what HD remasters are. Make the game look a little prettier. |

| I'm not surprised, all of the HD "remakes" have just been remastered in HD, thats the only change. Examples include: God of War HD Collection, Tomb Raider Trilogy, Sly Collection, Prince of Persia Trilogy and that will more than likely be the case with the upcoming MGS HD Collection. Its disgusting, I know but its still the games that we love. I will not buy Code Veronica HD, I already have it on PS2 and it is in my top 5 Resi games. RE4 will be no different. |

| They aren't remakes. They're just ports that have been Remastered in HD. If it were remade, it'd have new weapons and areas and items and stuff. Just like in REmake. |

| I'm getting RE4 HD SOULY for the fact that I will be able to listen to whatever music I want during gameplay.
However if they do stuff like have D. C. Dougless, Roger Craig Smith, and Sam Reigel redo the voices, it's an instant buy for me. It will make my story marathon feel more consistent. |

| These aren't remakes. They never said they are. All of these things with God of War etc. are HD remastered version. "Remastering" doesn't mean the same as "remake". For example, I have a remastered version of Evil Dead. They did not shoot the movie again, just made it prettier and clearer.
Basically, these are ports. The Knife had that point a few posts up. _________________ ~The Weapon of Mass Distraction~ COMMUNITY:Resident Evil Forums Chat Group: [link]Resident Evil Forums Facebook: [link]Come check my Let's Plays: [link]Gaming forum I'm moderating: [link] |

| Looks pretty good. I'm not buying RE4 HD though. It still looks good without HD.
@Ravoir: I liked Wesker's old voice actor (CVX, RE0, RE4) much more than DC Douglas. |

The HD doesn't even really look all that great anyway.
I'm seriously in it just for the music option. If that wasn't there, I probably wouldn't buy it. |

Nah, the music in the game is just fine for me. It might be cool for mercs though. |

| I don't care for RE4 HD, I don't need two of the same game. The graphics are fine as is and I don't care for the trophy support. CV on the other hand I will be getting because I don't have it yet. _________________ ~The Weapon of Mass Distraction~ COMMUNITY:Resident Evil Forums Chat Group: [link]Resident Evil Forums Facebook: [link]Come check my Let's Plays: [link]Gaming forum I'm moderating: [link] |

That's mainly where I'm using it. I'm going to listen to Live Evil or Winds of Madness when playing as Wesker. The music is already awesome but it's nice having the option. I do it all the time in RE5 mercs. Playing as Rebecca? How about some DC Alexia's Second form? Or how about The First Malaformation of G? Actually, the Lab Escape music from RE2 (DC) works perfectly for the last level in RE5.
All sorts of other things too. |

| Seeing as I no longer own physical copies of CV and RE4 I'll definitely be getting both. People are getting too work up because they think they're remakes (like how the original game was remade). They are just upping the resolution and adding trophy and achievement features is all. |

| Doing a remake of CV would be just about pointless, and remaking RE4 would be completely pointless. |

| True, Code Veronica still looks OK. RE2 and 3 need remakes. |

They both deserve the REmake treatment. Still one of the best looking games in the series. |
