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.

Resident Evil Zero-N64-SCRAPPED
Resident Evil Zero-GC-In development

Resident Evil 1-PSX (PAL)
Resident Evil 1-PSX (NTSC)- Re-released with Dual Shock
Resident Evil 1-Saturn-Exclusive battle mode
Resident Evil 1-PC

Resident Evil Director's Cut-PSX (PAL)
Resident Evil Director's Cut-PSX (NTSC)-Re-released with Dual Shock
Resident Evil Director's Cut-PSX (JAPAN)-Extra disc with 1.5 information and game saves.
(Free Beta demo of RE2 with all)


Resident Evil 1.5-PSX-SCRAPPED

Resident Evil 2-PSX (PAL)
Resident Evil 2-PSX (NTSC) Dual shock, Extreme battle mode
Resident Evil 2-Saturn-SCRAPPED
Resident Evil 2-PC-Gallery-Extreme Battle mode
Resident Evil 2-N64-Extra Files-Extra Costume
Resident Evil 2-Dreamcast-Extreme Battle mode, Gallery


Resident Evil 3 Nemesis-PSX
Resident Evil 3 Nemesis-Dreamcast- Enhanced graphics
Resident Evil 3 Nemesis-PC


Resident Evil Code Veronica-Dreamcast


Resident Evil Code Veronica X-PS2-Complete version with Wesker’s report
Resident Evil Code Veronica X-Dreamcast- (JAPAN)

Resident Evil Survivor-PSX (PAL)
Resident Evil Survivor-PSX (NTSC)-No gun support

Resident Evil Gun Survivor 2-PS2



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

Sorry strafex it's just more people tend to hang around in chat and prime topics hardly get a look in.

Cookie Monster, No the wesker's report is Wesker talking you through how he survived with clips from each game and is not playable.


forgot to mention THIS ALSO MEANS NO RESIDENT EVIL 4 FOR ABOUT 4/5 YEARS.

Oh man!!!!!
