Resident Evil has a total of 44 achievements, all of which can be earned offline through various playthroughs.

Aside from a Japanese rating warning at the start, the entire game is in English with options for other languages. There is no region-lock, you simply needed a Japanese tag and address then use whatever credit card you wish (Visa can cause issues). It was possible to buy the Japanese release early. In addition, the Xbox One release was also held off until January rather than be released with the last-gen counterparts. The game released early in Japan (November 27th of 2014) while the worldwide release is set for January 20th, 2015. It manages now, more than ever, to appear significantly life-like as you travel through the mansion with Chris and Jill. The pre-rendered backdrop has been thoroughly spruced up, transitioning well into the HD environment of this generation. The game returns with updated character models and enhanced visual backgrounds, as well as leader boards and other bonuses not featured in the original. As the first in the series, the game introduces you to series protagonists Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, as well as other major characters including Albert Wesker and Barry Burton (who will have a starring role in the upcoming Resident Evil Revelations 2). Resident Evil is an HD Remaster of the 2002 Gamecube Remake (dubbed "REmake" by the fans) of the original game from 1996 on PS1.
