First Resident Evil 4 HD screens make El Gigante look prettier than ever before. In a way

Resident Evil 4. HD. Resident Evil 4 HD! We heard rumours yesterday that such an incandescent combination of digital wonders was to bless us with its presence, and now, unless Capcom has taken to playing around with Photos⭕hop's image-sharpening controls to mess with us on quiet lunchtimes, we have screenshot proof that the rumour was true.

What does it look like? It looks like Res🐓ident Evil 4 HD! Resident Evil 4! In HD!

You might remember that I was getting rather excited yesterday at the prospect of how good a cleaned-up Resi 4 could look today. After all, it༺ was one o ﷽the most visually stunning games of the last generation, setting a standard that was rarely, if ever, equalled. And it seems I'm not going to be disappointed. Hell, I've seen more than a few current-gen games that don't look this good. Still no word on whether this is a remastering of the lovely, high-polygon, dynamically-lit Gamecube original or the ropey PS3 port, but I'm crossing fingers, legs and eyes that it's the 'real' version.

Want ▨more? Well we have mo♔re! From the castle section, this has appeared:

And just in case you'd forgotten that it was coming along for the HD ride, here's a shot of the pixelled-u🎀p new version of Code Veronica:

Okay, so Ronny never looked as good as Resi 4, but the lighting 𒅌andgrimy environments look like they're getting a highly atmospheric tickle with the HD stick꧑. Here's a very similar shot from the original for comparison:

So, whaddaya reckon? Any more excited than you were yesterday now that you have a rou꧂gh idea of how the Resident Evil Revival Selection is going to look? Any less? Impressed but really waiting for some lighter screens for 𓆉a proper comparison (as I am)? Let me know.

Now if you'll excuse me I'll be off pr൲acticing how to squeeze an infeasibly large number of heavy objects into a suitcase.
