Resident Evil 4 Xbox (Not Actually) Confirmed

Will start substantiating his hate
Capcom mentioned the possibility of this game coming to Xbox. Obviously Spong picked up on this and posted this made up news story on their site. If an Xbox version does get announced they will claim that they were right and people are wrong for doubting them and if it doesn't get announced... well, then it will just be business as usual for Spong. Seriously, people should know better than to post stuff from Spong by now.

I'd rather Capcom release a PC version, then should I say.

"Sell your consoles, it's all over."

The cubies are still so pissed. Seems like RE4 is the only game that everyone should play.

:D

I remember you slammed RE4 with tank controls and other stuff, so I guess it doesn't matter for you.

1 gets canned, 1 turns out bad and the other 3 get ported.

For the growth of the gaming industry.
For GameCube.

Not just RE4, I said ALL REs have tank controls, but I played them. Heh ! Your memory have CRC error.

It always make me wonder why you are so pissed when someone (who play RE since the first RE on PS) think the controls is always shit.

Ok again (you replied before I save my edit)

It always make me wonder why you are so pissed when someone (who play RE since the first RE on PS) think the controls are always shit. But that doesn't make me stop playing them although I will still complain if I want to.

Because they are atleast improved in RE4. Type C in REmake was also ok. RE0 was shit.

I am not saying they are top notch though. But I can get used to them.

Yeah, so what. Still bad. Get used to them is one thing, as I have said so many times already. You can always get used to any controls if you have to. But that doesn't make it not shit.

Why you said you are tired about people talking about the controls but you are always the one to bring it up ?

I like the RE series, but I am not a hard-core fan, to be exact, I don't want to miss their releases and that makes me a RE buying fan than a RE playing (let alone finishing) fan.

Out of all the REs that I have, I have only finished the first RE.

I've got a feeling Spong are gonna be pissing off a lot of people. Unless.

Unless we see a press release in the next few weeks like the PS2 one.

RE4 would easily sell double on Xbox what it would on GC.

About time Capcom executives slapped down Mikami and got him to play the team game.

It's clear the Gamecube is responsible for the fall of a once mighty publisher.

Yea, that publisher is Nintendo. The only games that exceeded expectations from Capcom were GC games.

You sir are forgetting Japan. Biohazard was on famitsu readers top 5 wanted games before it was announced that it will hit PS2.

I can see that BH4 can do up to 800,000 - 900,000 in Japan on gamecube. Xbox japan's numbers wouldn't even be close that.

In US RE4 xbox would outsell Gamecube, but worldwide is doubtful.

So your statement that GC is responsible for a mighty publishers fall is nothing but speculation.

The highest selling 3rd party title in Japan is REO at just under 400k. You think RE4, which is multiplatform, is going to be able to double that figure?

Yes. RE0 wasn't hyped like RE4 is. BH4 is not only hyped in the western countries, but in Japan as well.

Also I have to say that RE0 wasn't a great game. It wasn't scary at all, and they removed type c control. It was dull.

People should be forced to tag up the word "SPONG" (all in caps just like that) in their topic titles when reporting news from this site, especially if they are going to use the word "confirmed".

No way was RE4 going to sell anything over 500K on GC in Japan. Now even that figure sounds doubtful.

Aside from SSBM, no GC game has broken the million barrier in Japan. Why would RE4 do any better? RE3 did 1.35M on PS1, and that's when the series was still extremely popular.

ok SSX. Let's see who is right. I say 600,000k and over for RE4 GC sales in Japan, and you say under?

What's the most popular GC game in Japan and how much did it sell?
I think it could come close to whatever that is.

It's going to have all the pomp of a first party title I think.

SSBM around 1.3-1.4 million. Then it's Mario party 4 around 900k to 1 million.

Spong is fucking useless. They post so many false news stories they shouldn't be aloud to report on any news at all. The whole point on reporting news is if you know it is true.

If it is confirmed true, good for xbots.
