Topic: Resident Evil 5 revealed: first screenshots!

[Gamebasher]

Here is a link to Cube-europe.com where you can drool over the first screenshots from Resident Evil 5 which looks awesome:

Resident Evil 5 screenshots

But there is a hitch: it´s so far only coming out for Ps3 and XBox 360. Maybe Nintendo should get started handing out more developer kits!!

Oops! This topic probably belongs over on Other Systems, then? But now it´s too late for me to move it. Couldn´t they put an "undo"-function into this Forum? Sometimes one can get carried away by the excitement over a news report and place it wrongly. I do apologize, and promise to use the undo function always if they make one.

Well a look at nintendojo states that Capcom specifically announced that RE5 Will ONLY be on PS3 and Xbox 360, Not on the Rev. Am i the only one thats like WTF.  Either Nintendo are the dumbasses or capcom. I say both. F them both, i doubt ill be buying a REV simply for Metroid.  

[KDR_11k]

Rev or not Rev it won't be on the GC so it doesn't belong here. Besides, this was already posted in Rev discussion.

[stevey]

Late again Gamebasher (but just 6 hour this time) there an other system thread and a rev thread.  

PS. use the rev one to bitch and other system thread to drool over the screen shot.

[Dirk Temporo]

Capcom's retarded. Whoever has majority say in their decisions has the IQ of a bowl of fruit.

[KDR_11k]

That'd be the shareholders. What do you expect from the leeches of capitalism?

[Gamebasher]

Yeah, only 6 hours this time.

You know, when I get my own computer, I will cut that down to either 6 minutes or be first with some news topic.

As regards Capcom´s decision to not announce RE 5 for Revolution, I couldn´t agree more: it´s the dumbest decision ever. It sold over 1 million on GCN! What do they think it sell on revolution with a BETTER controller?

Strange people.

This...wouldn´t have something to do with them not knowing what the interface will be like on the Nintendo-next? I did hear that some Nintendo spokesperson remarked that just because we had not seen the new controller, that didn´t mean others hadn´t!

What´s going on?

"It sold over 1 million on GCN! What do they think it sell on revolution with a BETTER controller?"

How do you know it's "better" when you haven't seen it?

And that's the point.  Capcom can't decide to release RE5 unless they know the hardware and the controller can handle it.  Odds are Capcom doesn't know anything and thus just aren't making any decision.  Another possibility is that they have seen it and know it won't work for RE5.

[vudu]

1 million isn't a whole heck of a lot for a game as big as RE4.  GTA SA sold something like 6 million.  I think I remember reading that Vice City has sold a combined total of 11 million.  Not sure what Halo 2 sold, but it was around 4 or 5 million.

[kirby_killer_dedede]

I'm thinking this is going to happen with a lot of games...but not in the way you're thinking, and I think Capcom and me are thinking the same way about this.  Why not release RE5 on those other two consoles and release a Revolution-ified Resident Evil on Rev?  One that takes advantage of the revolutionary features?  I mean, Gamebasher, you yourself were bugging out about not being able to aim properly in RE4...with gyros, guess what?  You won't have that problem.

This is going on with DS/PSP too.  An ordinary (though better-looking) version of a game is released on the PSP, while a version is released on DS taking advantage of the touch screen.  For example Spider-Man 2 on PSP is absolutely different from the DS version.

"Why not release RE5 on those other two consoles and release a Revolution-ified Resident Evil on Rev? One that takes advantage of the revolutionary features?"

Personally I would rather have both.  I don't really want the Rev to be so different that it has none of the same games.  Sometimes you want a multiplatform release.  But that's better than nothing and it could result in some sweet games.  But that will never happen unless Nintendo ups their market share.  If the Rev is a strong number two I could see that happening but it's not going to happen if it's in last place.  Third parties just won't even bother.  Third parties have to feel confident that financially it's worth the effort.  We're not going to see too many exclusive Rev versions just to be nice.

[Flames_of_chaos]

I would rather have a Resident Evil made by Shinji Mikami.

[KDR_11k]

They don't talk about the Revolution, that would be a gainst the first rule of the Revolution licensing agreement (You don't talk about Revolution!). And what's even worse, it's against the second rule of the Revolution license agreement (You don't talk about Revolution!)

[Gamebasher]

IanSane, I believe that Nintendo controller will be better, because every controller they´ve made so far was always better than the one that came before it.

And, frankly speaking, I really think you are that far off if you assume that Capcom has either not seen the controller at all or has seen it and concluded that it doesn´t work with RE5.

If Nintendo still haven´t lost their marbles, I really think they are making a superb controller which will work with ANY game at all. Why do you think Reggie calls the Revolution gaming concept "All Access Gaming"? To scare the loyal gamers of existing games types away, only to attract new types of gamers? All Access means they want both the old and the new types of gamers to come into their fold in order for the Nintendo marketshare to go up.

I downright think that Capcom HAS seen the controller, but that it isn´t finished yet (Miyamoto recently stated that they were still working on it) and therefore they are waiting to get the final controller in their hands after which they can decide how to make the sequel to RE4 on Revolution.

In other words, we will get a sequel to RE4 on Revolution, but perhaps it won´t be called RE5.

I still think the Rev will see a port. Capcom's just either undecided or NDA'd.

I actually an article somewhere that predicted multiplatform releases will be even more common next generation than they are now.  Due to the rising development costs, publishers will need to recoup their expenses by releasing games on as many consoles as possible.

If this is true, it would be excellent for Nintendo.  Nintendo is the only first party to have more than a couple first party games worth playing.

"Due to the rising development costs, publishers will need to recoup their expenses by releasing games on as many consoles as possible."

If that were true, the Gamecube would have seen a hell of a lot more ports than it did, and does. Publishers decided that they wouldn't make money by porting it to the Cube, even if the cost was minimal. They didn't hold back the ports from the Cube just because they wanted to do Nintendo in.

And the same might happen for the Revolution - because of low third party sales on it/small userbase, publishers could decide to omit the Rev easily, citing unprofitability.

[KDR_11k]

Depends. Perhaps the Rev's "revolutionary feature" will sell it a bit better and get some people who buy cross-platform games.

[Gamebasher]

"I actually an article somewhere that predicted multiplatform releases will be even more common next generation than they are now. Due to the rising development costs, publishers will need to recoup their expenses by releasing games on as many consoles as possible."

IceCold, I think Vudu meant that that article predicted how it will be from now on and not how it was in the past. The Revolution will probably see a lot more releases of third party software than ever before then.

And with the sheer level of first party titles available for Nintendo´s machine, people will have a good reason to dash over to their local games shop and get a Revolution and three great games.

Play, play, play and play some more. Oops, I forgot to do all kinds of other things. But until I finish playing, they are on autopilot and will manage themselves.

I was referring to NEXT generation, not the current one.

[IceCold]

And I was saying that if it didn't happen with the Gamecube, then it has a good chance of not happening with the Revolution. Kindly refer to the end of my last post before replying.

[Gamebasher]

Ok, we´ll do that.

But I really don´t think that that will be Revolutions destiny.

Iwata just confirmed in an IGN interview that the Revolution controller is going to be programmed to play any kind of game type from launch. And with the ease of developement they talk about always concerning the Revolution what would be the problem for third party developers?  

[KDR_11k]

Well... The expectation that the Rev won't sell?

[Rancid Planet]

Third parties don't need a reason to shun the Rev. Did Criterion and EA have a reason to put Burnout 3 on the XBOX but not the GCN? No.

Man I just can't let that one go can I?

[Gamebasher]

If the Nintendo Revolution kicks off with a fantastic First Party line up (which it must and assuredly will, since Nintendo aren´t the ones to forget how important this is just now), truly demonstrating the function of the new controller concept, I don´t think that Nintendo will be ignored much anylonger by very many developers. They wont be able to afford to ignore them!

There will be new players from everywhere who will come running to the new machine, and virtually gobble it up! I feel this very strongly. Just like I felt, when the first tv-game generation began decades ago. I get that same feel about the Revolution. I mean, this is just so big...  In my view, Nintendo has simply done it again! Pulled off what the very word "Revolution" implies! Incredibly, they have indeed, gone back to the start of it all, re-invented videogaming, the Spirit of it, and only dressed it in an up-to-date form.  And people who have tired of the current type of consoles will be ultra quick to perceive this, once it hits the streets! For, like I wrote above, they have managed to hit the nail on the head by taking videogame entertainment to where people everywhere can understand it, grasp it, and love it all the way! They started it with DS, and continues it with the Revolution. The release of the Nintendo Revolution can´t come soon enough. Just the thought alone of playing Mario with THAT controller, makes me drool...
