Hooray.

Sell your PS2s and Gamecubes it's all over


""Resident Evil 4 will also be coming out on Xbox. About the same time as the PlayStation 2 release in just short of a year's time," we were told, confirming our news from earlier this week that additional versions will not see the light of day for a considerable amount of time."

Translation: We are gonna port this game to next gen consols as well

 

[Funky Papa]

Oh boy, this thread is going to be so much fun.

 

[olimario]

Hooray for Folder!
His website is at the forefront of exciting gaming news and is the epitome of credible!

 

[snapty00]

I doubt it's true (just because Folder and his site are dumb), but if it is...

It's almost like Sony, Microsoft, Capcom, and Nintendo have ganged up to break the wills of Nintendo fans.

I like the new Nintendo!

 

[TheGreenGiant]

Ha ha. Can we ban the word Spong on the forum again? And Folder. I like how the news was taken from a drunk.

shandy?

Yes! Another thread ignoring the actual news!
Oh boy, it is going to be fun, you were right! I wonder why I ended up being called Folder?

 

[bogg]

You know what's gonna be funny? If the gc version get canceld. LOLOL

 

[SantaC]

I don't really care. I was upset when it went to PS2, but now when it's on PS2 I don't really care it goes to xbox too. Damage was already done anyway.

 

[Elios83]

The source of Spong is a generic 'someone' at a party in London?
But ROTFL

 

[jenov4]

Oh shit! PS2 owners am crying.

Anyways, I'll probably end up getting the GC version. I don't like ports.

shandy?

Why ban it? Can if you like... Seems a little *ultra petty* though. Ho hum.

[SolidSnakex]

So much for Nintendo cutting a deal to prevent it from being on the Xbox.

 

[ElyrionX]

In before the thread hits 10 pages.....

 

[SyNapSe]

No way :lol It doesn't even seem worth it. I can't imagine there would be that many extra sales for an Xbox version.

 

[Do The Mario]

May be true because capcom could do with the money, they should even port RE:Remake and RE:0 to PS2 and Xbox if it can be done.

Still I would wait until it’s official until the last of us sell our gamecubes

 

[olimario]

I PREDICT
NORMAL MAPPING OVER ALL THE CRAP TEXTURES
AMAZING SHADOWING LIKE SC3
UPPED POLYS IN ALL MODELS
5.1 DOLBY SURROUND



This will be the version to get.

 

[snapty00]

You know what's gonna be funny? If the gc version get canceld. LOLOL

Oh, God. Now that would be good. Capcom, make it happen!

Do you think Capcom could somehow also get the new Star Fox, Jungle Beat, and Zelda cancelled? Capcom has got to have some connections!

yeah and 8 months later.

 

[Folder]

Off down the pub now. Enjoy slagging us off you utter bastards.
The news should be announced next week or the week after.
Ta ra.

[Do The Mario]

No way :lol It doesn't even seem worth it. I can't imagine there would be that many extra sales for an Xbox version.

The same could be said about releasing the game on GC to begin with, releasing the game on Xbox does make the game available for 17 million console owners with large numbers in PAL areas were the GC is doing very poorly

 

[GSG Flash]

someone after perhaps a few too many shandies let slip to SPOnG that Resident Evil 4, the former GameCube exclusive, will be making its way to Xbox following the revelation last week that a PlayStation 2 version is underway.

HAHAHA I laught at you Spong

 

[Wario64]

PS2 and XBox will have exclusive online modes

 

[TheGreenGiant]

Yeah, I can't understand why anyone would be skeptical of news on your site! You obviously have not earned such skepticism! Clearly, you are the victim!

 

[johnjohnson]

LOL @ Spong. When RE4 was announced on PS2 I knew it was a matter of a few days for Spong to come up with RE4 on Xbox. I was right

 

[Redbeard]

Ah, this would be the ultimate insult to GC fans. Like being peed on after you got your ass kicked.

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

 

[Gattsu25]

I'm not sure about this.

On one hand...the news comes from Spong
On the other hand...the news comes from Spong


Spong has a notorious history...but they also have a (not so recent) streak of highly doubted yet true news stories...

 

[SantaC]

Actually this news might be worse for PS2 fans. Who's going to have a hard time choosing between the ps2 and xbox version?

 

[bitwise]

thanks folder !!

 

[atomsk]

too much goddamn popcorn this week

 

[Duck of Death]

:lol :lol :lol

Man, it would be great if this news were true because it would mean that SPONG was actually factually correct in a story, and it would add more salt in the wounds of bitter Nintendo fans.

If you have both of those, you have a huge ass thread.

 

[Shiggy]

This wouldn't make sene, there is no REgame on XBox...

Oh, SPONG...

LOLOL, 2 players mode in GTA :SA!! BULLSHIT!

Oh wait, it was true.

You're forgetting that the sources for that news were probably actually more reliable than drunk capcom reps

 

[ohamsie]

I just don't care anymore! CAPCOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[UltimateMarioMan]

So...does this mean PS2 is doomed too?

 

[SantaC]

is this game suddenly not brown with superb controls?

 

[Particle Physicist]

if this is true.. why wasnt it just announced along side the ps2 version.. what would be the point of delaying the annoucment if they are both coming out at the same time ?

 

[OG_Original Gamer]

It kind of pointless to bring it to the Xbox, with Xbo2 around the corner. By the time its released most gamers would played it or watched someone else play it on GC.

Now releasing it as a launch title for the Xbox2 is a totally different story. I would play it all over again.

 

[Elios83]

if this is true.. why wasnt it just announced along side the ps2 version.. what would be the point of delaying the annoucment if they are both coming out at the same time ?

In fact,what is the sense of announcing the Xbox porting 2-weeks later than the PS2 version ^_^''Just announce a multiplatform strategy all at once.

 

[cvxfreak]

I have a feeling this news isn't exactly false.

OH TEH NOES!!!!!!!!!!`
