Actually despite what I said earlier, I may be interested in doing something for this in the new year, if I can upgrade my PC sufficiently. Although I have a style in mind for it (remember the Shadowman thing I started? I do not have time to do that whole game but I am thinking using the same style I did for that. Perhaps not overly hi-res and very detailed, but illustrative... We shall see.)
But none of this is definite, time will tell if I can be bothered. I know alot of people see Resident Evil II as a pointless game to hi-res, but I dont, and others dont either. As far as static backdrops go, Im sure that even if it doesnt work out for the N64, eventually it could be ported to work on the PC version.
