View Full Version : Resident Evil Remake and 0 for PS2 and a Resident Evil for PSP
Well... Ive come here to discuss this little topic... Why Resident Evil Remake and 0 have not been made for PS2. I think thats a little unfair.
From the begining Resident Evil was a PS game, so I think that these two great chapters of the game should be for sale for PS2:s :s
Oh! And the other thing is... why arent there is any Resident Evil for PSP yet??? I wanna play them... :(
My friend i said the same thing i was so angry that 0 and remake were only on poxy game bleddy cube so your not alone matey :), so i swore i would never play a on any nintedo console and stick to sony playstation 100% the best....
Zero & Re-make were only contracted to Nintendo exclusively but due to poor sales of Zero & Re-make the Resident Evil 4 exclusive contract was re-negotiated and amended to Nintendo timed exclusive.
Thats how I understand it.
You can get a GC fo 15 and Zero & Re-make for under 10 each.
Resident Evil PSP is more than welcome.

Just buy a GameCube with these games now.
It s cheaper than a PS3 game. On the German ebay at least, but I don t think it s different anywhere else.
About the PSP, well you ll have to wait probably. It doesn t make sense that ther is none.
Just like with Devil May Cry.
EDIT:
Spike? Does telepathy exist? Not that I d believe in it, but this was some weird coincidence...

Well, I can tell you I didn t see your post and then wrote this on purpose.
Would be difficult in two minutes anyway.
But... I just noticed I couldn t be any more off topic than I m now. So I ll shut up now.
Wasnt there a thread similar to this already?
Wasnt there a thread similar to this already?
yes i put one saying resident evil should stay on playstation consoles, but i deleted it.
asking for these games now is ridiculous.. just buy a Wii because Wii IMO has more fun and great choices of games that both PS3/360 dont have.
and when you have Wii, go buy those little bastards Zero & Remake ya and play them on Wii.

Have fun missing out on the storyline there buddy.
A game series does not have to remain on the console it was born on. Otherwise the Metal Gear fans would all hate Sony right now for stealing it from Nintendo.
The GameCube offered more power, and a new market.
You dont hear the GC owners complaining about not having Outbreak or the Gun Survivor series...mostly because they shut their mouth and spend a little extra money on the other consoles.
Both PS2 and GC are cheap and easy to get nowadays, as are the games...
I see... but anyway, Resident Evil was a playstation game in the first place, so I think that it capcom made a mistake not publishiong them for PS2 or PSP.
I heard a rumor about a Resident Evil Outbreak coming out for PSP, well... I hope it was just a rumor because sincerly the last outbreak wasnt a great thing... and I think that Outbreak should have more offering, like more scenarios, or scenarios bigger than the one we find for PS2...:idea:

The games may have started on playstation but that dose not make the playstation games.
Capcom is a 3rd party developer which mean baring exclusive contract deals they make games for who they like.
Resi 1/DC, Resi 2 on ps1 developed by Capcom published by Virgin in the UK
Res 3 developed by Capcom published by Eidos in the UK.
The games that you class as playstation only games are what are developed by Sony and or 2nd party games developed for sony under contract too other developers.
Gran Turismo
Wipe Out
Eye Toy/ playstation eye
singstar
those are playstation games

Platforms that the games have been released on:
RE1 - PS1, GC, DS, Sega Saturn, PC
RE2 - PS1, N64, GC, PC, DC
RE3 - PS1, GC, DC, PC
CV/CVX - PS2, GC, DC
This list keeps going, and shows that the series has never stuck to just one platform...

And like you said before, even if specific games are not released on a console, that doesnt mean the platform is ignored.
All i want is Resi DC, 2 and 3 to be released on the PSN in europe.
Resi DC and 2 are on the jap PSN already
Do PAL games on the PSN play full screen or the same old 50hz squashed bullshit? (Shame on you Capcom :P)
Thats what stops me playing RE on my ps3, bloody annoying, especially in this day and age.

Still 50hz but the PS3 lets you have full screen option, smoothing and HD up scaling.

Old Graphics FTW lol. Directors Cut is the best part 1 of Resident Evil :) Especially the voice actors.

Unfortunately, the full screen option is to just fill out a 16:9 image (ie stretch it even further out of aspect); theres no way to combat the squashed borders of Capcoms crappy 50hz releases.

True but sadly it was common practice for most games in the PAL format :(

The simple answer to your question is : The Gamecube needed titles that were exclusive to the console to boost up their sales.
Although it might not be a bad idea releasing them on the PS2 or should I say redone for the PS3, but I doubt that the sales would be high because many of the gamecube owners have already given it a try so that means only fans of the series will be buying the game that how it turned out to be in the new consoles otherwise not much of a business here.
I say make them for PSP because i think that Handheld is perfect for remakes the new psp slim can be connected too your Tele and if they would also bring a mini controller with Annalog joysticks that would be Ace IMO. besides capcom does MH on psp they have experience with psp.

Not if they remake Gaiden from Game Boy Color :P , also a Resident Evil Collection 1-3 would be cool.

Haha at the Gaiden part.
Im opposing the idea of story heavy long games that are suited best for home entertainment, being put on handhelds one is using as a means of entertainment in transportation, outdoors or during other activities one is basically mobile. These games are best suited to living rooms, in front of large screens, great stereo, couch, the works.
I dont think anyone in their sane mind buys a handheld as a substitute for a true home system.
That being said, I have a PSP, and when it comes to mobile entertainment, its the best thing ever. Better than my laptop, which usually stays in the bag when Im on a 4 hour busride. There are genuinely awesome games on PSP, yet which I wouldnt play on a computer or a console. Two types of games for two different consoles (occasions).
So, in short. Dont make Resident Evil into something its not.

Lol since when has a RE game been long? Longest it takes is 6 hours if your exploring.

Are you sure about that? Arent you considering the 6 hour timeframe as your gazillionth exploration playthrough? It took me 10-15 hours when I first played CVX. About 10 hours with RE3, 3 something hours on my 6th playthrough. And so on.
The games are long, but thats not the main problem. Theres nothing you can do if you suddenly have to stop playing (term- Portable), and if you introduce quicksaving, you lose a chunk off survival horror.
Just not suitable.

Honestly, i never played PSP outside, even though its a portable console. But if i would...
Resident Evil 1 .... 3-4 hours, Resident Evil 2 .... 1.30 - 2 hours and Resident Evil 3 hmmm, 3.30 maybe, didnt play it often. I NEVER touch Code Veronica again, its the worst part in the serious i think.
As i said, a Resi Collection including part 1-3 wouldnt be bad, other parts r too long. So lets just say, some parts would be cool on PSP, some wouldnt.

I think the same way... im not going to buy gc only to play those 2 games!
The resident evil for psp is good idea to play in multiplayer mode with the ad-hoc, hope they make one better then the Outbreaks and good as the firsts!
PS: Want new remakes and all for ps3 :D
Not meaning to offend anyone but the truth is that not everyone is cappable of buying a diferent console for every title.
The way I see it it is easier for the manufacturers to produce a title for every platform, than for the consumer to aquire the platform needed to play it.
I for once am under the impression that Capcom should at least now, make reeditions of Zero and the Remake(sometimes reffered as Rebirth) for Ps2 or PS3.
This oppinion is supported by the fact that at the time of their release nintendo was desperate to advertise the GC (gamecube), and required some titles exclusive for it so (even though I loathe such an attitude), the exclusive release of Zero and the Remake for GC at the time is perfectly understandabble.
However just as with Resident Evil 4, Capcom could have made latter releases of Zero and the Remake , for PS2, or even for PS3. This would (I believe) have a considerably positive impact on their profits.
PS: Im considerably new to this forum, and my post expresses not just my opinion but also a desire felt by many gamers. I dont know if the forum posts are ever consulted for ideas or Public Relations evaluation, however I would like to state that if a pool of opinion were to be conducted the results would probably be supportive of the oppinion presented here. Also Ive heard that a Resident Evil Zero Remake is due for the Wii, Im unaware as to the veracity of this fact but, if it proves to be true; out of respect for gammers who dont possess a Wii, capcom SHOULD make a PS3 and Xbox360 release of Zero and the Remake, as it is discriminating of gammers who dont possess nintendo sistems.

AMEN to that

A game series does not have to remain on the console it was born on. Otherwise the Metal Gear fans would all hate Sony right now for stealing it from Nintendo.
The Metal Gear series started out on MSX, not nintendo, the nintendo versions were considered pure garbage by Hideo Kojima himself, just to point that out.
On topic however, I think its pointless to nag about it, they should release all resident evils on all platforms, did I buy a GC just for those 2 games? No. So did they make that little extra money they were counting on? No. Even though lotsa people DID buy it, its still just a pathetic way to suck out money from people.
None of you complainers seem to know how a business works, at all.
When they port, its to make more money from the market of gamers that missed out on the originating platform - its not a its still just a pathetic way to suck out money from people because they arent expecting people who already own the game to buy it on another console. Thats right folks, you dont HAVE to buy it; try thinking for yourselves for once.

Who said anything about porting? I was talking about console exclusive games.

Whats the point Capcom have seen revenues rise under current plan of most games going multiplatform.
granted its never botherd me if exclusive or not as I ownd just about every console from the europe market if not all.
Again I apollogise if this post offends any sensibilities, but what you seem to be overlooking is that some people cant owe every single platform on the market, and therefore would find it quite polite of CAPCOM to publish a reedition of games Such as Zero, REmake or outbreak for other platforms.

No offence taken.
I think thats one reason why they have moved to be more multiplatform than before.
But talking of the gamcube, zero and re-birth my game station has a bundle for 27.99 with memory card which woul work out cheaper than buying those to games as ports.
Normaly buying a console for 1 or 2 games is pointless but at that price its well worth it.

If you knew the way things are in Portugal you would probably understand the reason I defend the reeditions to other platforms.
However, the thing that really gets me angry is that Ive heard that CAPCOM is reediting Zero for Wii. So if they are reediting Zero for another platform what would the harm be in reeditting it for PS3 And Xbox360 at the same TIME?
This is the sort of thing that really anger the gamming community: Reeditting a great title for one gamming platform while leaving all others without it

To get this out of the way: Yes, there is a remake of Zero for Wii, but it ll probably never be released outside of Japan. By the way, I just looked it up, it s already been released there.
What are things like in Portugal? Why can t you buy the stuff like Spike said?

Because the financial situation of Portugal is (Politetely Speaking) Hell on earth.
All major companies are sacking staff and hiring new people under Six month-only contracts, where the monthly payments NEVER go over 650? (I dont know how much that is in dollars or pounds). Then come the taxes, the steady bills (such as water and electricity), and feeding costs. (heck, dozens of middle-class families are already requesting charity groups for food suplies). So, unless you manage to get 3 jobs youll actually end, up to the eyeballs on debts. Not to mention the steady growth of crime rates (murder actualy became a day-to-day ocurrence), as well as other socially unacceptable activities.
And sont even start with the government. Those lazy-sons-of-mothers-who-dont-know-who-their-fathers-are, are hellbent on raising the price on everything, whithout raising the salaries.
This makes it extremly dificult to save money
Plus; Even if by some miracle you manage to save some cash the odds that youll be ablle to buy the stuff out of the internet is wwwaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy low.
Therefore unless you manage to locate and secure the items in question youll probably only get them when they first come out.

Woa, that sounds bad, but I still don t understand why you can t get stuff via Internet. is it because the post offices are ... (how do I call this...) ...unreliable?

So it would even be pointless trying to get the ports made then.
As weve already shown, it would be cheaper to buy a GameCube, Zero and REmake...than it would be to buy any port of either of these games for the PS3/360.
As capcom have shown with their latest ports of Okami and Resident Evil 4 to the Wii...they often put them at full market price.
SO: 40 for a port of RE0, 40 for a port of REmake
OR
20 for a Gamecube, 10 for RE0, and 10 for REmake.
If the prices are being raked up on pre-owned, the chances are the prices are being raked up on brand new as well. So even if brand new goes up tenfold, then pre-owned will also do the same.
Either way, in your situation, it works out cheaper to buy the gamecube and copies of the original versions...

22-07-08, 16:13
Um, TZM?
I don t think you understood his problem.
Of course it s cheaper to buy the used games, but ordering them for example on ebay won t work, because the games will not arrive at his place probably (besides: even I only order insured stuff, because the shipment could not arrive else - and the situation isn t anything like this in Germany). And there s probably no shop for used games just around the corner either (again; I don t know any store like this near my home aswell).
If his country is as bad as he makes out, I cant see how retail games have a higher chance of arriving at stores over normal post ;)
seth ranson
22-07-08, 17:02
Maybe they don t use normal post.
Well that then would just strengthen the point.
seth ranson
22-07-08, 17:54
Really? Which point?
I mean there are methods of shipping that are exclusive to shops (so Bugman can t use them). Big stores would probably get their shipments with a truck of their own.
If his country is as bad as he makes out
seth ranson
22-07-08, 18:28
You never say more than absolutely necessary, do you?
As I don t really get your point, I ll explain mine:
Big stores don t have any old games mostly as they aren t as good selling as new titles. However only the big stores get their shipments (small shops can t afford to have a truck for getting their stuff, so they have to use normal post, their shipments get lost and in the end they probably lose too much money and have to close), so it s hard to get old games. I don t see why anything strengthens your point here.
EDIT:
Could anyone who gets Parjay s point please PM me and explain? (as Parjay seems somehow fed up...)
Nice point I guess, but thats nothing to do with what I posted.
Never mind, you clearly dont get it; just forget about it.
So it would even be pointless trying to get the ports made then.

Look, IŪm sorry for only now replying, but Ive been working. The reason it would be simpler to have the ports made is that no one in Portugal ever sold a Resident evil Zero copy at a second hand shop. Thats why I cant buy the game at a lower price.

Keep in mind that Ive not only been to second-hand shops but also more popular vendors (such as FNAC; Vobis; Worten; Media Markt; etc..) and the main problem is that since its so old no one will even consider making an order for just one customer.
also Ive recently considered buying the game of the internet, however I simply cant understand jack of the net ordering forms (Amazon; e-bay; etc...), as Ive never, ever ordered anything out of the internet
Use www.play.com easy to understand and they ship free to europe and if your games get lost they will claim from the postal service and either refund or re-send the games out.
