RE5 planned to debut simultaneously (X360, PS3)

The X360 version will be definitively subpar.

Dead Rising coming Summer 2006
Click to expand...
Damn, and I thought it was going to be released near launch or a couple of months after :-/
Capcom needs to make Outbreak File#3 to sustain until Dead Rising and Resident Evil 5 get released.
 
Well, this puts the Nfans to rest again. I kept on saying ages ago RE5 wouldn't grace the Revolution, and even after Capcom's official announcement they continued to peddle the lie ("Oh, once the NDA expires Capcom will announce it."). Seriously, WTF? It's not for Revolution (AKA Super Gamecube).

I'm getting an Xbox 360 for RE5. It';; be much cheaper than the PS3 anyway, and I'll just wait a couple months before I decide to get the PS3.
 
The Xbox360 is the platform they're developing it on initially with a multiplatform version in mind.

That said, knowing Capcom, we'll see a different Revolution RE sometime down the line, utilizing the controller. RE5 probably would have come to the Rev if it were actually powerful enough to handle it. Considering where the 360 is headed in Japan, which is the territory, depending on the game, that RE tops out in (Outbreak is one where Japan was the majority, and REmake was top in the US), this now explains why its headed to 360 in the first place.

This will be mine on the PS3 (the definitive version).

This will be mine the moment it comes out for whatever goddam platform they decide to release it on, even if it's PC. I'm not going to suffer the wait like PS2 owners did for RE4.
 
FUCK! Dead Rising is my most wanted title on Xbox360. Oh well, it has improved by leaps and bounds, I'm sure the extra time will mean it shines.
 
wait... where in that article did it say the 360 version was coming next year? I'd be very surprised if this isn't a summer/second half 2007 release.

RE5 vs. MGS4- Christmas '07 :D

I want to see RE5 vs KHIII

That would only be funny if Mikami was involved with RE5, since he seems to have some undiscussed hatred towards Tetsuya Nomura.

I imagine Nomura will be laughing all the way to the bank when KHII outsells RE4 (both platforms combined) probably x3.
 
Poor Nintendo. They can't get anything right.

They go to all the effot of getting RE4 on the Gamecube and it looks as if it's going to sell best on there. Then Capcom turn around and put it on Sony and Microsoft's next-gen efforts.

:lol
 
I remember the Saturn version of RE1. It came out about a year after the PSX version. It had a bit worse graphics on the characters (3d) and movies. Very fun though. Porbably similar to RE4 on GC vs. PS2.
 
Solid said:
Finally. This is what Capcom should have done with RE4.
Click to expand...
Agreed. And RE4 should've been on all 3 platforms as well... same goes for REmake, RE0, Onimusha 2-4, DMC 1-3 and Dino Crisis 3.
 
Is RE5 meant to come out in 2006 then? Cause from the article that's what he's hinting at.

It's called deductive reasoning. They are hoping for a simultaneous release if Sony can release the PS3 on time. Since PS3 is scheduled to be released in Japan for Spring '06, we can deduce that RE5 will be ready to release somewhere in the PS3 launch window.
 
Am I the only one who just doesn't want to see Resident Evil go launch multiplatform?

I don't want no downgraded damn ports.

The reason RE4 was so great was because it was built from the ground up for one specific platform, utilizing it to its maximum capabilities, play tested to perfection with that specific controller, etc.

They even took a year to do the PS2 port right.

We all know how much quality takes a hit when third parties aim to release their franchies on mutlipe consoles at launch.

Damn the LOWEST COMMON DENOMENATIOR.
In this case, 360 core package. I don't want Re5 optimized to THAT.

Bah Capcom.
Bah.

Well, MS had the more powerful hardware this generation and they always got the best multiconsole releases (except for a small handful, like MGS2). If Sony has the most powerful hardware next generation, its reasonable to assume the same for the PS3. Sure the X360 version will be great, but the PS3 will probably be great +1. The PS2 version of many multiconsole games are good (relative to the game of course - a shitty game is a shitty game), the XBox version is always a little more though.

LOL. That's pretty funny considering your avatar.

Anyway. How will the core and PS3 be any different. It's not like the PS3 will ship with a hdd as standard.

That's the trouble with technology. You can reduce the resolution but you can't take out polygons.
 
Since RE5 is a launch game for the PS3 I think this is a bigger issue than having it multi platform. If they were able to actually have enough time to make it the best possible version for both platforms then it would be GAF FTW.

The difference between Xbox and PS2 is much greater than the difference between 360 and PS3. It is easy to make the assumption that PS3 will have the best multiplatform games, but what constitutes best will have a different context this gen. Graphically, I think games will look equally as good. The ATI and Nvidia chips are similar in features and performance. The difference between the multiplatform games will be how developers use the features of the systems. PS3 may have more cutscenes, FMV, etc. because of the increased disc space, while 360 may have more online features, downloadable content, etc.

Gamers won't choose based on graphics, they will choose because of features.

I'm not sure that's the case in raw numbers, but it likely will be the case in terms of software thanks to diminishing returns. I really don't expect to see PS3 do anything 360 can't on some reasonable level (unlike PS2 versus GC/Xbox).
 
Great news for everyone except people planning to only buy a rev next gen. I'll be getting the PS3 version :D

I think the differences may appear greater than they, thanks to sony-centric devs (Kojima, Sony Santa Monica, Polyphony, etc) that are used to pushing hardware to its limit, moreso than "lazy" western devs like Bioware, Bungie, etc.

Well, I don't care which system is actually ON.
I just want it to be exlusively developed for that sytem.

I plan on getting a PS3 and Rev. I can't fathom the main RE line being 360 exlusive, so I never considered that.

With that said, I'd prefer it to be Ps3 or Rev exlusive. And then you can do updates/ports later on, like they did with RE4. It just makes for a much, much better quality game that way, and you'd be hard pressed to convince me otherwise.

With that said, I expect an exect 360/PS3 port, and a year later, some kind of 'enhanced' (feature wise, not graphics) Rev version.

They want RE on every damn system possible, thats for sure.
 
Resident Evil is a graphically intensive franchise. I seriously doubt this game will ever make its way to the Revolution in any recognizable form.

Im not sure if PS3 will have better multiplatform games, but Im quite sure that they will have better exclusive titles. MS have taken one of those away now. RE5 will be released on both consoles at the same time, but Sony still have many more, such as GTA, Tekken, Metal Gear Solid, Gran Turismo and Final Fantasy. These exclusive titles will be better than those available on Xbox360 . Xbox360 does have and will have many great exclusive titles that will sell a lot of copies and will help sell the Xbox360, but they will not have the same impact as those on PS3.

:lol

Thank you for that. Say "exclusive titles" one more time.
 
Well, after selling my 360 for a really nice profit, I'm going to wait this one out. I'm really torn between the 360 and PS3 and it's beginning to look more and more like only one of the two will be necessary to get over 90% of the titles.

It will depend on what Square and a few others decide to do, but it is really a tough choice. MS has Bioware and Rare on their side, while Sony has some of the most unique and truly fun games out of their first/second parties. Hardware wise, Sony has the edge by a significant margin in the features I care about (BR movies, wireless Internet) but I really like the interface for the 360 and the controller.

I guess we'll know more by E3 next Summer, but I can definately wait. I'm loving Dragon Quest too much at the moment to care about next generation until at least Spring.

Just an assumption based on his comments.

"We want to grow the Resident Evil series into a multi-platform franchise, so we hope to release it simultaneously [on the two next-generation consoles]," Inafune told Xbox360ism. "But since we don't know the launch period for the PS3 yet, so it's hard to say [if we can]."

Why do people keep saying that GTA is PS3 exclusive??? Did I miss a recent press release or something or are people still hanging their hat on that false report done during their E3 presentation?
