Capcom Announces Biohazard 15th Anniversary Box Set For PS3

[Scream]

Already have the PS1 games on the PSN store.. Will just get the PS3 HD part separately.. Not interested in a "STARS confidential" box..

How do the PSN versions compare to other ports? I've been looking to consolidate my games onto one system, but I wasn't sure if I should even bother with downloading them off PSN.

Aside from also having it portable and not needing a disc, I'd say it's worth the space. Though, I prefer the original RE over the Director's Cut.

Not to mention it's only $5 each? At least it was when I bought them a while back.

But there's no difference between the PSN releases and the original disc versions, right?

Negative.

Also, can someone show me how to go about ordering this?
I clicked on the link "Go to e-capcom for ordering instructions", unfortunately it didn't help much because I can't read Japanese.


Thanx.

You can't unless you have an address in Japan.

You can use a deputy service such as shoppingmalljapan.com or others to place the order. Stay alert! Fees apply.

Else wait for eBay or maybe play-asia.

Ah I see, thanks Anders

I find the PSN ports excellent and well worth the price. The only difference is the in-game manual which you can bring up through the PS3 menu, I guess that's no bad thing. The timing for the games (game completion time etc) seems to be the same too. You also don't need a CD which these days is something I expect of all my games.

They are nearly 1:1 copies but the PSN versions have blurry visuals and slightly more compressed audio. Almost like the PS smoothing filter is already applied. I really hate that filter. Check out my RE2 playthrough on youtube. The first five parts of that are from the PSN version and the remaining parts are of the actual disc and the visuals are much sharper and defined.

The disc yields the best audio and video presentation.

AND WHAT WILL THE REST OF THE WORLD GET???

HA! I just watched this for the first time in like....12 years. Forgot how much fun the film is...though Michael Richards is hard to see as anything but incredibly creepy now.

CDJapan has it open for orders

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=NEODAI-718

they'll order it for you from another japanese online retailer apparently, just fill out the form if you want yours lol. I'm saving up for mine =D going to take a while though :]

EDIT : Just checked that Yesasia has it too - http://www.yesasia.com/global/biohaz...0-en/info.html

For those UK importers like myself, avoid Play asia for PS3 releases, since I'm pretty sure they don't ship there :S

People have already mentioned manuals and all that jazz.

Zombie_X brings up the finer details, though.

The thing is, the disc games will usually run on some standard/default configuration of the PS1 backwards compatibility mode (and with whatever's the latest revision of it). The PSN games appears to be locked to a specific build of the PS1 emulator and with a specific configuration for that game. This makes some games have noticeable differences between their retail and PSN counterparts.

Not sure how they handle games with CDDA these days, but in general; the data in the PSN versions are 1:1 ISOs of the original discs (usually compressed).

All those re releases and still no outbreak ... capcom get your fingers out.

[Wrathborne]

For everyone who cant get this, don't feel bad..the 16th anniversary edition series will be so much better!

[BrionIrons]

I'm Suprised Capcom even cared about RE 1,2 and 3 enough to actually rerelease them on NEW PS1 cd's.Never the less its a nice collection.

im gonna pass on this bundle because I already own all the games.Doesn't really make any sense for me to buy the same games I already own because of new cover arts and stickers.

Right, makes some sense.. I didn't think they would compress the audio on purpose, though to be honest they seem almost the same to me - I suppose because it was my first time playing RE1-3 on a HDTV setup and I had no basis for comparison/couldn't care less..

Yeah there is audio/video compression. It's not bad but noticeable. I first noticed the audio compression when I was playing them on my headphones. The video compression is pretty obvious as the screens are blurry as hell.

Also about the emulators they use. Each game is not configured differently but rather just made into a self-boot image with the emu as the bootloader and having auto run the enclosed game image. Same with how the hacked PSP-PSX emulator worked. Actually it's the exact same emulator.

I am still very stoked for new PS1 discs! That just sound incredible to me. Tasty tasty!!

[Scream]

I think for most people its fully playable. I would still recommend the PSN versions over the CD versions, which are frankly an annoyance in this day and age.. Getting up off the sofa, finding the case etc., might as well mow the lawn too while its loading.

[BrionIrons]

True,but I kinda like getting off my ass to get my cd from my game self a put it in my system.

[Humor Tumor]

I like discs far more than digital. At least you know the disc will never be taken off a server. And you don't need an internet connection.
