Capcom confirms Resident Evil platforms..

What you people need to realize is that what keeps Capcom alive is..... come on think now..... ok it\'s MONEY. If you really think they will go exclusive with the lowest selling console on the market      ( out of the big 3), your nuts.  Yes they will be exclusive at first, but when they see that practically no one is buying their software, they will start producing for the PS2 and XBOX.


I was considering buying a GC just for the RE games but now I will wait. They will be out for the two big systems.

The only old RE game I would like to see on the XBOX is RE 1.
That\'s a classic.

Your logic is flawed. Yes, the GameCube maybe the lowest selling console out of the three, but it also has the least amount of games on the market right now. This means RE has a better chance of selling big than it would on say the XBox where there are more games to potentially crowd it out. Why do you think Nintendo 1st & 2nd party games consistantly sold 5+ Million on the N64 despite the fact that the N64 only sold about 25+ Million units worldwide? It\'s because they were pretty much the only games worth buying, so lots of people bought them.

Besides, Capcom has already made it very clear what there intentions are and I don\'t see them going back on them now.

Yeah, now they have this RE-Online stuff going around.

Well, RE isn\'t totally exclusive to GameCube. PS2 and GBC are both getting RE games. (Survivor 2 and Gaiden)

And if Capcom isn\'t messing with us, they\'re also bringing RE-Online to PS2. This doesn\'t interfere with Nintendo\'s exclusivity contract.. GCN still gets the totally exclusive rights to RE1, RE0, and RE4.

Although, I think that RE4 = RE-Online. Hmm, this is ever so confusing!

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.


Yes...plus REOnline !

I think Capcom is eating their fingers for this "pseudo" exclusivity...:D

...GC\'s having some problems...

What Capcom is doing is simple. They are taking the main series - the single player ones that is based on a story (i.e RE 1 - RE4) and putting them all on one console. Then take side based series (RE:Survivor - RE:online) and spread them out onto other consoles. It makes sense actually, that way Capcom can get the series everywhere and still claim that the main RE series can be found on one base console. Then there is still the chance of porting them down to another platform later on.


I truly doubt RE4 is RE:ONline. As any true Capcom fan knows, DMC was originally going to be RE4 and took place on a boat,etc.  The small details we do know doesn\'t lend RE4 to be an online game. Not to mention, I still see RE:Online as a possible FPS online game...

Actually, Capcom just confirmed that RE4 is not "RE Online" and that RE4 is totally exclusive.

Special thanks to Capcom USA for making it seem like RE\'s exclusivity is half-hearted.. :rolleyes:

You mean its not half-hearted? ;)

I am surprised Capcom didn\'t put RE online on the Xbox though, due to the fact it already has a HD and they could take advantage of that .

Yeah, I\'m also surprised.

Then again, Sony is giving the PS2 internet capabilities and a HDD.. Capcom had to give them a chance.

I have a feeling that RE-Online might hit Xbox and GCN too though.

I\'m expecting that the game will hit the Xbox when their online plans are more coherient. Same with the GC (which IMO, has even less of an online plan as either the PS2 or the Xbox).

As for Capcom and exclusitivity, with the exception of a few, very few, games, Capcom doesn\'t keep their "exclusive" games exclusive for very long. Resident Evil being their biggest example of this. So there are reasons why many of us are still :rolleyes: when we see Capcom and exclusitivity next on their games.
