Origins Collection brings back the classic RE style, in style!
It may be mostly a remaster of Resident Evil 0, but it feels fresh with the fresh coat of paint, achievments, and other little touches that make it the definitive version of RE0.

The visuals have aged quite nicely. Aside from the cutscenes and a few stray textures that haven't been touched up, everything looks slick and modern. The clarity of the backgrounds is gorgeous, along with Rebecca and Billy also getting a nice visual bump.
The controls are standard RE fare if you like tank controls use them, there's also an alternate control scheme for people that may struggle with them.
The gameplay has been (thankfully) untouched since 2002 and still retains the feeling of claustrophobia and dread that it always has. Unlike what some reviewers may have thought, this is a REMASTER, not a REMAKE. So if you had problems with the original release of RE0, you may not still enjoy it. Though if you never played it, but do like the classic RE style I wholeheartedly say go for it. I own it for the GameCube, but wanted to play it again recently, and not it's even more convenient. The game will even take advantage of the Xbox One persistent state of whatever game you're playing. So if you go to the home menu it'll bounce you right to where you left off. This takes some of the edge off of looking to save when you want to take a break, but if you a have frequent interruptions it's a godsend.
In addtion to RE0, you also get the RE1 "REmake" that was released last year this is a great bonus if you don't own it already in some form because it also is phenomenal.
Two scares for one low price, pick it up, unless you're a zombie, you won't be disappointed. ;3… Expand
