Four Classic Capcom Games Are Now Available on Steam!

In partnership with GOG, Capcom has brought four of its older games to Valve’s digital platform as well.

 

All four games are priced at $10 by default, but during the initial launch period they can be purchased at a 50% discount for $5. Which games are included? The first three Resident Evil titles, along with Breath of Fire IV. The first Resident Evil includes English, German, French, and Japanese localizations, uses an improved DirectX game renderer, and adds new rendering options such as windowed mode, V-Sync, gamma correction, integer scaling, anisotropic filtering, aspect ratio correction, and anti-aliasing. Cutscene timing has been improved, video playback has been improved, registry-related settings have been updated, and the game now supports issue-free alt-tabbing and exiting.

Resident Evil 2 adds Italian and Spanish to the four previously mentioned localizations. It features improved audio volume and panning, better cutscenes and subtitles, updated save management, better button mapping and audio settings menus, fixed credits in the German version, no missing text in Rooms 114 and 115, a visible diary in Room 210, and no more looping sound in Room 409. The 4th Survivor and Tofu modes are now available from the very beginning.

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis includes Mercenaries mode, improved graphics engine initialization and restart, better subtitles, better settings, seamless alt-tabbing, and improved mouse cursor visibility. Breath of Fire IV includes English and Japanese localization, an improved DirectX renderer, windowed mode, V-Sync, gamma correction, integer scaling, anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, and aspect ratio correction. The sound engine has been improved, mouse and keyboard support is stronger, the Warehouse and Crane minigames have been enhanced, the F9 exit screen has been adjusted, combat and combo system issues have been fixed, scene scripting has been improved, and the game also supports issue-free alt-tabbing.

GOG is clearly still taking care of older games, and at least in these cases players do not have to rely on emulation. That is something other platforms could still learn from.
