Nintendo finally get a fanchise that appeals to people over 5 and what do they produce, a remake of original ps1 game. What a rip-off at £44.99 this is money for old rope, considering the popularity of this series I have to say that its a pretty poor show not to make the most of the opportunity and produce a new chapter in the series and I am sure there are a lot of disappointed gamers out there who where expecting a lot more.

Hur hur hur. ahem. Yes. You have an intriguing insight into videogames do you not? (that was a rhetorical question btw...)

and what

I think you'll find Capcom produced it...

Sequels are effectively just remakes of the original with new weapons/sections/baddies... this game is effectively Resi 1 on the PSX... with new sections, new weapons, new gameplay elements, new baddies, new plot bits, much better graphics (which are actually important in a game designed to scare...), maybe some new bonus unlockables too (I'm not sure on that last one though so don't hold me to it...)

They're making Resi 0 and another new one (not sure what number we're on though...? 4...?) which will both be Cube exclusive. Resi 0 is pretty close to completion too methinks...

Disappointed because it was a bad game or disappointed because it's only on the Cube...?

And why isn't it 'perfect'?

It's made by CAPCOM - they decide what happens with the game. Also, it's obvious you haven't done your homework, as the game is at least two times larger so it's not just a graphical remake.

The graphics on Resident Evil are the best seen on a home console to date, so it's not old rope. The game also spanned two discs, which increased the price to what a new X-Box or PS2 game would be.

Pure jealousy this is. The Resident Evil series has been snatched from Sony to appear on a superior console, and it's also worth noting that I've heard a new chapter will be made.

Techno freak, half of the people that have posted in this thread haven't even got GCs or don't like them, but they're just replying simply to poke fun at that annoying, stupid, immature fanboy that happens to be you.

Your fanboy-ish ways must be stopped.

I think you should go and spend some "quality time" in that CD-UK topic of yours yourself and stop posting cack like this as you obviously havent got a clue what your on about, so go back to your CD-UK topic and you may be suprised about how "relevant" it is to yourself. ;)

They're not remaking those two, just porting. So chances are, they'll be out sometime next year anyway.
