Capcom confirms Resident Evil platforms..
« on: February 07, 2002, 11:36:18 AM »
From CloudChaser Nintendo:

Despite what Bill Gardner - president of Capcom USA said before GameCube sales picked up, Resident Evil wont be going multi-format. Capcom of Japan has said these rumors are false.

The Japanese Capcom website reads:

"A rumor that Biohazard (Overseas name: Resident Evil) may be supplied to platforms other than Nintendo GameCube has started on overseas web sites recently. This has no basis and is not true at all. Biohazard, Biohazard 0, Biohazard 2, Biohazard 3 - Last Escape, Biohazard Code :Veronica Complete and Biohazard 4 are due to be put on the market for Nintendo GameCube exclusively as we announced on September 13th, last year. Our plans have not changed."

Well, Xbox and PS2 aren\'t getting Resident Evil, but I wouldn\'t complain.

You guys have plenty of survival-horror titles to look forward to. :)

Exactly, and I don\'t like Survival horror games anyway.  RE1 was good, I really liked it.  Then they did another one and it was like Tomb Raider 2--an unecessary sequel to a game that should have ended at 1.

I hate the over use of fog and stupid "cat jumping out the the closet thrills", terrible voice acting, cliched plots, stupid cameras, awkward controls--you could say I dislike the genre. :)

Damn, heh, when you put it that way, it\'s hard to imagine why anybody liked it in the first place.

I remember Capcom saying that they would develop for the DC even if they were the only developers left (that and RE:CV was supposed to be a DC exclusive as well). That being said, Capcom saying this isn\'t surprising. Afterall, they said that RE will be exclusive to the GC (they even shaked hands on it) so it will remain exclusive to the GC. However, like the DC, if push comes to shove, then RE will not stay exclusive to the GC if need be. But in the meantime, GC exclusive.

Not to piss on your parade Blade, but you should know that Capcom is only giving the NGC 1-2 new Resident Evil titles. Everthing else is just rehash.. and really this point has been done to death already. NGC\'s RE list is...

RE:0 - New, and very well could be the only new one in the bunch.
RE:1 - Remake. Sure the graphics are prettier, but it\'s still the same game.
RE:2 - Dreamcast port, which is a PSX port + Texture Smoothing, AA, and Hi Rez.
RE:3 - Same as above. Isn\'t this what Bleem!PC was for?
RE:CV - PS2 port, which was a port from the DC to begin with.

The last one will either be RE:4 or a remake of RE:Survivor. I\'m not sure on that point. I hope it\'s RE:4, but given Capcom\'s track record..... well...

I\'m sorry to piss on your parade Mr.Fanboy, but Capcom isn\'t bringing out RE4 on your beloved PS2. Sorry buddy!

Yeah, RE2, RE3, and CV are all ports.. so what? It\'s designer Shinji Mikami\'s artistic vision to have the entire story available for one audience. (instead of spread out over PSX, PS2, N64, and DC player bases)

RE1 is different enough to classify as a new game. Story, characters, locations = basically the same.

But there are new graphics, sound, puzzles, areas; plus new plot twists to make it fit into continuity.

I\'ve personally never played RE:CV, nor the yet-to-be-released RE0 and RE4. There\'s reason to celebrate.

Ok, first of all, who are you "Mr. I got 11 posts and suck on Nintnedo\'s nutsack everychance I get." to call me a fanboy? Secondly, I never mentioned the PS2 anywhere in my post. Try STFU before you make accusations based on assumptions.

Secondly, artistic vision takes a back seat to the bottom line everytime. That\'s buisness, and it\'s a reason why Capcom is one of the most successful 3rd parties out there.

Third, RE:1Remake is NOT a new game. If you want to buy it for updated graphics, then be my guest, but no matter how much you kick and scream you can\'t get away from the fact that game is old, rehashed, and already available for the PSX and Saturn sans "purty graphix". If you really believe all that garbage about it being a new game, then I guess you\'re just walking proof that P.T. Barnum was right...

Fouth and finally I\'ll end with a quote of yours:

"Capcom isn\'t bringing out RE4 on your beloved PS2. Sorry buddy!" - Blade

Boy, that sounds exactly like...

"Capcom isn\'t bringing out RE2 on your beloved N64. Sorry buddy!" - PSX fanboys

"Capcom isn\'t bringing out RE2 on your beloved Dreamcast. Sorry buddy!" - PSX fanboys

"Capcom isn\'t bringing out RE3 on your beloved Dreamcast. Sorry buddy!" - PSX fanboys

"Capcom isn\'t bringing out RE:CV on your beloved PS2. Sorry buddy!" - Dreamcast fanboys

Had enough or should I bring the StreetFighter/MegaMan/DinoCrisis/Onimushia games into this too??

Go ahead and try to argue.. but the burden of proof is on YOUR shoulders.

Resident Evil 0 and Resident Evil 4 have been confirmed as the "exclusive" games (term used loosely). So, we can limit out it being Resident Evil: Survivor.

With that said, even I, as the local and most offical Capcom whore realize that Capcom is more and likely not going to keep to this whole exclusive issue. If nothing else, they\'ll come up with a side story situation, any possible way to get the series on other platforms. That is just how Capcom does things...I point to Code Veronica, a "exclusive" game for the DC. Hell, Sega assisted in most the programming for that game and it STILL ended up on another platform , actually two now that they are porting it to the GC. Furthermore, if you want to continue arguing about how exclusive the series is, just look at the series and Capcom\'s track record from the very start... Every Resident Evil game has said to been exclusive to one console or another , and yet was ported over and over.

A. Your name is "Sony fan". I wasn\'t planning to call you a fanboy, but that made it easier. To be fair.. I take that back and call you your rightful name. Sony "fan".. like I\'m a Nintendo "fan". Fanboy and fan are different things to me. I called you a fanboy because your comments were unnecessary and negative. Sorry. :/

That\'s true. So what\'s the point? If this were the case right now, Capcom would hold off on trying to sell RE2, RE3, and CV on the GCN. Apparently the executive branch has agreed to allow these games to be released. (it\'s also a theory that they\'ll contain small plot changes to make up for the differences in RE1 and RE0)

Third, RE:1 Remake is NOT a new game.


In essence, you\'re correct. The 1996 RE1 on PSX follows the same basic plotline and contains the same characters. But the remake contains a good deal of (previously inaccessible) totally new areas, 70% new puzzles, 100% new graphics, and a modified story line with new plot twists. More atmosphere, less "cat jumping out of a closet" effects. It\'s not totally new, but definitely new enough for RE1 veterans to appreciate.

I\'ve heard at least some of what you said, but would just like to clarify for others that after this one, future RE ports will be just that - ports.

RE0 and 4 are still set to be original, though.... for what it\'s worth.

I hope by new puzzles they don\'t mean RE: DC style...

Ergo...re-arranging the location of certain items...

Lame...

July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

Just to let you know, I didn\'t say my first post as a negetive towards Nintnedo.. it was a dig against Capcom. I\'d actually PREFER if they left RE on the GameCube because that no only strenghtens the platform and generates more competition.. but it also shows a certain level of class. It\'s why I respect Namco way more than Capcom.. because when Namco said SoulCalibur was exclusive to the Dreamcast.. they meant it. Even though it would have sold better if they put it on the PS2 as well.

Capcom has a bad track record of saying one thing and doing another. I\'m just too tired of hearing their lies to believe them anymore... and I\'m surprised anyone else still does.

Hehe, yeah.. Capcom. The same company that rehashed Street Fighter 2 for 5 years. ;)

They have a bad track record when dealing with franchises.

Still, Capcom and Nintendo have a close friendship. I doubt that RE4 will be ported to Xbox unless it totally tanks.
