"SOME SHOCKING NEWS FOR RESIDENT EVIL"

I’ve just found out today that Resident Evil 4 is to be gamecube EXCLUSIVE and ALL the original games are to be redone with the new technology.

This is SHOCKING news to me because Resident Evil is my favourite game in the world and I love it to bits but lets just think for a second, The gamecube is capable of some outstanding graphics and the so called "children's" games are nothing to do with CAPCOM so the series will be better than ever.

After seeing a trailer and screenshots of resident evil zero the remakes can only be to this AMAZING standard and may even get better, Also Having the games only set for the gamecube will mean no more being messed around buying other hardware (*cough* *cough* dreamcast) and should hopefully put an end to it all.



Here is the current console situation with the series.

As you can see this is a complete MESS and Shinji Mikami agrees the series shouldn't be spread over this many consoles and has dissapointed many fans so now the WHOLE series will start once again completly from scratch.

I’m THRILLED at the fact that each game will get a complete 128bit AWSOME makeover and seen as I was getting a gamecube for RE:zero anyway this is a HUGE bonus. I think Capcom have made a good move and looking at the screenshots of RE:zero (link in nintendo forum) these are going to be MASSIVE.


I will however still pick up my copy of Code Veronica X and the Wesker’s Report tomorrow and even with the new versions heading to the gamecube I’ll still have my PS2 to play all the classic PSX versions, survivor 2 and the wesker’s report.

This has made me think twice about spending a fortune on the PS2 add on hardware but I think for now I'll stick with the great PS2 titles to come and buy a gamecube specifically for the new resident evil games.
I do my best to follow the series but having all the consoles the game is on is very expensive and an unbelievable hassle.


Here’s to the Fantastic Future of a classic game :D

You reckon its just a coincidence that they made this announcment just before the Japan Gamecube release? it think its much more than that.

Just want to add a couple of things.

The pictures I thought were RE:zero were actually the gamecube remake of Resident Evil one, secondly I'm actually glad Capcom are doing this and although it will no doubt leave many annoyed fans, I hope that the Gamecube will remain the new home of the next generation Resident Evil.

Exclusive ah?

What a brilliant post. I am not too surprised Capcom has become good friends with Nintendo first 2 Zelda games then the Mickey mouse games Capcom and Nintendo are getting along great now this!

Brilliant im happy today (Dringo leaves skipping away).

Those "Exclusives" never stay exclusive for long. You wait, Capcom aren't stupid enough to make Resi a GC exclusive. By releasing it on the PS2, they will more than double the money made on it.

I thought it was a DVD, and nothing more.

those screenshots look outstanding. I'll have to get a friend to buy one then borrow it from them. Cunning plan.

I wondered where those Dual Shock versions went.

dribble.

nice.

mmmmmmmmmmm.

Anyone who has yet to see Resident Evil 1 on Gamecube should head over to http://tma.asp2.net for all the info and videos.

Hey I was joking :-D

Better give quality posts here than spam the Prime forum :-)

Only in here, it'll probably disappear soon under all the chat topics.
