According to this, Capcom are currently working on yet another new Resident Evil for Gamecube, in addition to RE4. This is from a Japanese magazine called Game Laboratory, not sure how reliable that is, but yeah.
What could it be?
Post by: Shift Key on January 11, 2004, 10:30:34 PM
Maybe its a port of one of the PS2 games like Outbreak, with multiplayer or LAN instead of online modes?

Wouldn't the guys who made Knife Edge realise that at some point there was no way to play this game?

Im not sure if Capcom would release RE Online for GCN.. but you never know, this is Capcom we're talking about.
Personally i hope it's like another RE 'sidestory', like Code Veronica.. which is very doubtful.. *shrugs shoulders*
I guess there is also a (very small) chance that it's remakes of 2 and/or 3?
A gun game would be rockin, the GCN needs some light gun lovin. Let's wait and see shall we..

Capcom keep the Resident Evil Light Gun Games for PS2/PS3... and it is not going to be a port of Resident Evil: Outbreak, thats for sure.
If there is another Resident Evil Game for Nintendo (And there will be) it would be on GCN 2.
There is no chance at all that there will be remakes of 2 and 3.
And Code Veronica isn't a side story.
Thats why they ported it over to GCN... because they want the Main RE plot/story on the Nintendo.
Its a 50% chance it is RE5... and a 50% chance it will be something similar to Code Veronica.

I was thinking kind of the same thing after the intro movie for the REmake when you are watching through Joseph's Camera which was basically in First-Person.
But it would quickly loose the scare factor that it originally had.

Its Kind of obvious what Capcom will do with Resident Evil.
As soon as Capcom ported Resident Evil 2 over to GCN... alot of stuff became predictible with the saga.
Most fans knew that RE: 4 would be released in 2004, even before seeing that on the Official Biohazard Website.
Post by: Shift Key on January 14, 2004, 01:07:17 AM
Quote*insert forum vomit here*
how bout an actual FPS like Halo
Why does every game in the future have to compare to Halo? Sure, people like it. It's not the Second Coming!! Move on, for pete's sake!
After seeing the demos for Half Life 2 (the claustrophobic levels running from hoards of enemies are very cool and scary), I'd see any attempt at a Resident Evil FPS being very similar to that. Pity that one never made it out last year.
QuoteThe exclusivity deal is not a permanent thing. As I understand, the deal made way back when covered 1-4 and CV of the series (4 was in development at the time) and I'd be surprised if Capcom throws money at another true Resident Evil game, let alone on a Nintendo console.
There will be another Resident Evil Game after RE: 5 on Nintendo Systems.
But don't shoot the messenger. Look at the effort put into recent RE games (2, Nemesis, CV) - what, can't see it? That's because they DIDN'T CARE! Fudge out a port from a redundant system and hope no-one notices. Great plan, Capcom. Maybe it has more to do with making Resident Evil 4 awesome (which I hope), because I have a gut feeling this game could tie up the loose ends of the series making 4 the last hurrah, and completing the series on one console. Five is a nice number right? You can count it on one hand, even...

The reason that Resident Evil: Zero, REmake, RE2, RE3, RE:CV:X & RE4 is because Capcom GREATLY cares.
They didn't remake 2 and 3 because basically every single fan dosen't want in REmade... and they have great reasons.
In the future is the only thing you want to see is Remakes?
Who knows? We might even have a Remake of the REmake.
Now that is stupid, and you know it.
RE2 & RE3 dont need to be remade.
They are fine as they are now.
It would just be completely dumb if we had Remakes of RE2, RE3, RE: CV:X & RE4.
Capcom DOES care, and thats why they put basically every Resident Evil Game onto the GCN.
Believe me when I say this.
I have been a fan for many years now... and all fans basically know what Capcom will do.
We knew RE4 was going to be released in 2004 as soon as the First Trailer came out saying '200X'.
And trust me.... there will be another Resident Evil Game on the GCN.
And THERE will be many more Resident Evil's to come.
RE5 will not be the last... nor will RE6 or 7. And there will also be plenty of side-story games.
I know this because Shinji said that there will be as many Resident Evil games as there are James Bond Films... meaning that we JUST passed the Half-Way mark... which may not even be the Half-Way Mark. It could be Quater of the way to the end of the saga.
Unfortunetly I'm leaving for two weeks so I can't keep talking.
And you know I am right.
Even to proove myself how much of a Fan of Resident Evil I am... you can ask akdaman1.
He knows the hundreds of crazy things I've done.

Personally, I'd like to see the series end pretty soon, as after playing most of them (I have not played Code Veronica X yet... no spoilers for me please), they need to tie up a LOT of loose ends. Having the main story go on and on would seem a little goofy.
Looks there's no news yet, but hopefully there will be soon.

QuoteIs that supposed to be a joke, because I'm having a good chuckle at that one. PUN'D!

Zero Plague:
QuoteThey are bringing the series to one console. They release an excellent port, followed by an great game, different to the rest of the series, and then two ports. That doesn't look like truly caring, or maybe I need to be more of a blind fanboy?
Capcom DOES care, and thats why they put basically every Resident Evil Game onto the GCN.
QuoteCome again? I can't recall RE4 already being made, unless that was in your Bizarro-World.
It would just be completely dumb if we had Remakes of RE2, RE3, RE: CV:X & RE4.
Sure, it may take a while longer, but I'd rather see the WHOLE series given the graphical upgrade, not just one game. It'd be a great incentive to get all the games for one system. Heck, I only got the REmake, and that was because of the upgrade.
QuoteGod no. It's just that, when Nintendo signed the exclusivity deal with Capcom, they should have encouraged (with more assistance, funding etc) to get the existing games remade. Sure, not everyone will want to own those games twice, but wouldn't you choose the version with improved visuals on your favourite purple console over the gritty visuals of the PS1 classic complete with a side of jaggies? I'd gladly trade up to that if it was on the shelf.
In the future is the only thing you want to see is Remakes?
QuoteDon't put words into my mouth. My suggestion of seeing the whole series remade for Gamecube does not mean that I want to see frequent releases of essentially the same game. One series, brilliant visuals throughout, classic survival horror. Is that so much to ask from an exclusive series?
We might even have a Remake of the REmake. Now that is stupid, and you know it.
QuoteDo you have a link? No "your wet dreams" doesn't count. There are over 20 Bond films out (officially) and I don't believe that Mikami would go out on a limb like that. Prove me wrong.
I know this because Shinji said that there will be as many Resident Evil games as there are James Bond Films
QuoteRight? Maybe if I made some sense of your factually-questionable arguement I could gauge your correctness.
And you know I am right.
This is my opinion. Feel free to argue, Zero, but I am nowhere near finished.

I admit it, I am not a Nintendo Fanboy... BUT I am a Resident Evil Fanboy.
AND by being a Resident Evil Fan, other RE fans would agree with me that we want to get on with the future story instead of going back and seeing the same story over and over again with a few plot improvements.
The REmake was great, but it dosen't mean that all the other Resident Evil's need to be remade.
RE2 and RE3 are classics, and they have no need to be remade.
Anyway, I've been a fan long enough to basically think like Capcom with their thoughts on Resident Evil.
And the series will continue.
I am 100% sure of it.
Oh... and you wrote 'This is my opinion' on your post.
So I'll write on this one:
'This is fact'.

I do admit when I heard of the RE remake for the GC I was a little worried but after playing it, I thought it was great, now as far as future remakes of the RE series, I say only if they improve the graphics from the originals, and thats it. NO plot twist.
Now as far as the RE story goes I think most would agree, That CAPCOM should stick to the main story, i.e. no side story's.
O' Yea, before I forget it would be great if Capcom come out with the Wesker report for the US GC.
Post by: Shift Key on January 25, 2004, 10:52:12 PM
QuoteWow, how insightful. Just because I'm giving constructive criticism, you jump to the assumption that I hate the series. How about you just assume that I'm a hardcore 32X fan and be done with it?
You obviously are not a Resident Evil Fan.
QuoteDid you even read my last post? Given that Capcom said that they want to bring the whole series to the Gamecube, and yet three of the six known releases are ports, doesn't really make sense. How can they justify bringing the whole series to one console when they release three games which have already appeared in the exact same form on other systems. It just doesn't justify calling the series exclusive!
we want to get on with the future story instead of going back and seeing the same story over and over again with a few plot improvements.
QuoteWell so far you're the only one I'm arguing with.
the majority of fans would agree with me that REmakes are a 'no'.
QuoteNo-one can think like a company, mate. Combining the volatile climate of the video game industry, with economic predictions and crucial boardroom decisions, you can't say what the future holds - no matter how long you've played their games. Hell, maybe even Mikami may be sick of RE after number 4. You don't know. So don't run around throwing this "fact" rubbish, because you're NOT Capcom.
Anyway, I've been a fan long enough to basically think like Capcom with their thoughts on Resident Evil.
QuoteBut there have been many offshoots of Megaman (eg Megaman Zero, Megaman X) over the years, and these do not relate to the original Megaman series directly(which is up to 8, still nowhere near Bond).

Then, of course, Capcom had announced that since these games would be released as direct ports of the PSOne originals, they would retail for $19.99 each. Capcom really dropped the ball here…My personal feeling is that Capcom didn’t want to put forth the extra effort because, at the time, the GameCube wasn’t topping the sales charts.
I truly hope that Resident Evil 4 impresses, because Capcom has a lot of making up to do.

I know I'm right, and it looks like the only way your going to get that through your head is to wait for the future Resident Evil Games.
By the way, I've been on several Resident Evil Forums in the past and right now... and the majority of all people signed up dont want remakes.
Post by: Shift Key on January 26, 2004, 02:25:03 PM
Zero:
QuoteBingo. Because saying you'll release "enhanced ports" and then promising to release "cheap ports" and ending up with "expensive ports" is just not good enough. I WANT to spend money on RE GC games, but to throw away $300 on three ports is stupid. Would you?
You just dont give up.
QuoteI'm sure they could have negotiated with a Nintendo second party to do that if they didn't feel like it (see MGS:TTS). But releasing a port, with minimal money thrown at it, is much more profitable, despite selling less units.
would take too long for them to overhaul the graphics of each game
QuoteShow me. I really cannot believe the video game community thinks that "there will be as many RE games as Bond films" either.

I will make a poll on ever RE site I can find, and I will show you that fans want future games instead of REmakes.
It may take me a week doing all the polls and votes, so until then, you better do some serious praying.
Post by: Shift Key on January 27, 2004, 01:15:44 AM
There is no incentive for me to fork out over $550 for five games, one of which is brand new, another a graphical update. If you think Capcom can justify doing nothing to improve the games and then sell them at full price while I can pick up the same game for half price for another system, then tell me why, because it doesn't make sense.
QuoteI don't care what your fanboy buddies think. You can survey them to the moon and back, but it doesn't matter much. The casual gamer, Mr Joe Gas Station, would look at the RE ports, realise he's either played or owned the games before, and won't buy it. Why? because there is no motivation to buy the same game twice!
It may take me a week doing all the polls and votes, so until then, you better do some serious praying.
If Capcom wants anyone who has played RE games before to buy their GC games, they aren't doing enough in my opinion.
And that is where the problem lies. Even when they said 200X for the announcement of RE4, they could release the game in 2005 and no-one apart from the fanboys would complain. I wouldn't complain about delays because RE4 will absolutely change the series (maybe finish it) and I can wait, but until 4 comes out they should be motivating and tempting fans (hardcore and casual) who are waiting to revisit the series again by producing re-releases worthy of more than a single look in the store.
Sure, you might have to wait a while longer, but you'll hardly notice when you're wetting yourself with fear all over again. There's more to life then releases. Get outside.
Post by: Zero_Plague on January 27, 2004, 09:51:59 AM
Your actually wrong about Fanboys wanting RE4 so soon.
Although we are starving to play it, we have agreed that it would be better if Capcom take their time and make this game perfect.
Although RE2 and RE3 were direct ports, people still bought them. Not many people bought them... but still, an amount of people bought them.
Capcom probably had a thought that they wouldn't make great sales, but at least it gave some people the chance of playing it.
I bought it for myself aswell, just because I basically want to collect all the Resident Evil Memoribilia that I can find.
When the saga finishes, Capcom can go ahead and make their remakes for RE2 and RE3. I've got no problem with that. As long as it dosen't mean it's halting future RE games.
Post by: akdaman1 on January 27, 2004, 01:41:55 PM
Zero , I agree with you that the RE 2 & 3s shouldnt have been REmade , but I also agree with Shifty that the fans got jibbed by there high price and lack of improvments on the ports.
Although if Capcom were to go and REmake 2&3 it would pretty much mean no RE4 for the GCN. I think Capcom only released 2&3 so that Nintendo fanboys can catch up on the series ( seeing that it was on the PSone before).
Capcom really only made one mistake , and thats the high price for the ports. Now please stop arguing cause I dont want to see either one of you banned.

Billy Coen is likely to make an appearance or to be mentioned in RE4 or RE5.
But to be sure, we would need to see the second playable character (if there is one) in RE4.
If it is Claire as the second playable character in RE4, then it's most likely to be Jill in RE5.
If it is Jill as the second playable character in RE4, then it's most likely to be Claire in RE5.
There is no doubt that we will be hearing of Rebecca Chambers in RE4/RE5.
Though I feel that we arn't going to be playing as Rebecca Chambers again in a future RE game...
as I strongly think she may possibly die very soon.
It's about time Capcom gives us a huge twist in the story.
There is also some talk of Leon himself dying in RE4... as it will be very unexected... but who knows?
Capcom may be using a 'Reversed' 'Reverse-Psychology' on us.
Post by: Bill Aurion on January 29, 2004, 01:01:12 PM
I still kind of doubt Leon will die, either...Capcom wanted to kill him off in Code Veronica, but the fans protested...If they killed him, a LOT of fans would be pretty pissed(including me)

QuoteHave they been remade? Then I have no problems!
I agree with you that the RE 2 & 3s shouldnt have been REmade
*reeks of sarcasm*QuoteDon't be so optimistic that there will even be another one. Unless you can show me evidence that another RE sequel is in the wings or even thought about, I'm going to assume this is a last hurruh for the series. From what I have heard, with Leon venturing into the heart of the Umbrella corporation while being infected with the T-Virus (I think) it doesn't look good for the longevity of the hero or the corporation behind the story.

Post by: Zero_Plague on January 31, 2004, 12:30:22 AM
But I'll leave it at that and put the debating aside, as we all know it is going to be endless.
The only reason I 'think' Billy Coen will be mentioned, is because it is kind of pointless of Capcom putting him into a Resident Evil game with such a little side-story and not having him involved in any more RE games.
I also doubt Leon will be killed in RE4, mainly because of the fans... but it would give the story a great plot twist for the future.
But then again if you really think about it, there is a twist in most RE games towards the ending.
