Resident Evil 4 Ultimate HD Edition Announced For Steam

One of the finest titles ever made is making it’s way to the PC in the form of Resident Evil 4 Ultimate HD Edition. Wait a minute, didn’t this already come out on the PC years ago?

Resident Evil 4 did indeed release on the PC back in 2007, some two years after it debuted on the GameCube, and it’s generally considered to be one of the worst ports of all time. It’s something that Capcom decided to farm out to Ubisoft on the cheap although Resident Evil 4 HD for XBLA and PSN wasn’t much better either.

Never one to shy away for multiple iterations and multiple ports, Capcom is back to do Resident Evil 4 justice and finally deliver a PROPER HD version of the game. Not only does the game no longer look like shit, we’re treated to 60 FPS this time round assuming your PC can handle it.

The ultimate HD edition of Resident Evil® 4 will be available for PC digital download on Steam® globally and as a retail version for Windows PC in Europe. PC gamers will be able to play the groundbreaking survival horror masterpiece in the highest visual fidelity ever with 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.

Resident Evil 4 will include Steam platform support with Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud, Steam Trading Cards, global leaderboards, and full game controller support. The 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.

Resident Evil 4 Ultimate HD Edition will be available on Steam starting from February 28, 2014 for $19.99/€19.99. No word on potential PS4/Xbox One versions but I wouldn’t put it past Capcom to eventually get round to doing it eventually. I’m not sure if I can go back to controllers after playing the Wii Edition of Resident Evil 4 but hey, 60 FPS :)
