Capcom announced Resident Evil 4 for PS2
- Thread starter solarplexus
- Start date
Think of some of the larger games on GC, most notably Resident Evil. I'm betting that if Capcom was making profit then the Resident Evil games, Mega Man Collection, Viewtiful Joe and others would have been GC exclusive. However, Capcom has been in the red. Higher Ups probably demanded PS2 ports of the aforementioned games.Society said:

I can't help but wonder if games like Steel Battalion and other Xbox games weren't responsible for some of that, though...
But Capcom really did cut the Xbox fat, so to speak. Maybe none of their games are doing exceptionally well. I can't imagine that Onimusha 3 sold up to expectations, when it was the recipient of a price cut like three weeks after its release.

Nintendo should have thrown big money at capcom. Nintendo needs to start either acting like a console manufacturer and do whatever it takes to shore up big 3rd party exclusives or get out of the console market and make console games exclusively for the PS3.

I knew it as soon as I saw the first screens of the latest build. "They're dumbing this down to put it on PS2."
I weep for Nintendo... :lol
First poster and thread sum the Nintendo fan mentality up quite nicely.

FLAWLESS VICTOLY!
OMG...can I tell you how many people come into the gamestore and that's the only Nintendo game beside Zelda that they talk about wanting to play? And how their going to react to knowing they'll be playing it on PS2? What is with this timing....
Jesus, someone turn out the lights, the GC situation is getting flat out ugly.

From what I understand, Microsoft totally paid for Steel Battalion. No idea on Dino Crisis 3, though. The fact that MS basically footed the entire bill for Steel Battalion and it's sequel adds fuel to the reported deal of Steel Battalion being handed back to Microsoft/Bungie. IIRC, Microsoft gave Capcom funding to cook up the game for Xbox Japanese launch, included online modes and all. When Capcom gave back their estimates on what time it'd take to complete the game, Microsoft cut funding down and Capcom had to splint the game into 2 parts, online and off.. Still, to reach 50K for a game that costs 150K is pretty good, IMO.Soul4ger said:

VJ not taxing? I don't think so. The game has it's share of very impressive visuals. It might be taxing in different ways than RE4, but cell shading with self shadowing and all those crazy effects in VJ, is no easy task for any console. It could have *easily* happened that the port would suck ass, if it was handed to a less capable developer.
They are really minimal, though. If RE4 would have the same kind of minimal level of shortcomings, I'd be pleasantly surprised.

While this is obviously bad news for GC, I don't see how GC is significantly more "doomed" than it was a few hours ago. I really don't think it would have had that big an impact on hardware sales.
