Some of those loose ends are tied up in CVX, so don't worry...^_^

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

Capcom DOES care, and thats why they put basically every Resident Evil Game onto the GCN.

They 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?

Quote
It would just be completely dumb if we had Remakes of RE2, RE3, RE: CV:X & RE4.

Come again? I can't recall RE4 already being made, unless that was in your Bizarro-World.
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.

Quote
In the future is the only thing you want to see is Remakes?

God 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.

Quote
We might even have a Remake of the REmake. Now that is stupid, and you know it.

Don'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?

Quote
I know this because Shinji said that there will be as many Resident Evil games as there are James Bond Films

Do 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.

And you know I am right.

Right? Maybe if I made some sense of your factually-questionable arguement I could gauge your correctness.

This is my opinion. Feel free to argue, Zero, but I am nowhere near finished.

[Zero_Plague]

You obviously are not a Resident Evil Fan... because the majority of fans would agree with me that REmakes are a 'no'.

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'.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

There's about as many Mega Man games as there are James Bond films, so it's not all that crazy.

[ConsoleDude]

RE is one of the best series ever for Video games in general, So why would CAPCOM messup a good thing?

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.

Wow, 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?

Quote

Did 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!

Quote

Well so far you're the only one I'm arguing with.

No-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.

But 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).

That's cute. Did you want to link me to the flaming bush that told you this, or did you see it written in stone?

How did the REmake mess up "a good thing"? Please explain.

EDIT: Spelling, another poster in between.  

[ConsoleDude]

Shifty, As far as messing up a good thing, I'm talking about future RE releases from Capcom not the remake, infact I thought the RE remake for the GC was great.

[Rhoq]

When Capcom’s exclusive deal with Nintendo to bring the Resident Evil series to the Game Cube was first made public, it had been announced that RE 2, 3 and CV:X would be “enhanced ports” just like REmake. As we all know, those plans changed. I seem to recall reading (sorry, I do not have a link – but I’m pretty sure I read it on IGN) that Capcom’s official excuse was that it would take too long for them to overhaul the graphics of each game, setting back development of RE 4 until the “REmakes” of 2, 3 and CV:X were finished. They decided to abort those plans to devote all of their resources on the RE 4 project.

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.

Die Another Day, The World is not Enough, and On Her Majesty's Secret Service don't exist in my world HAR HAR!

[Zero_Plague]

You just dont give up.
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.

[Shift Key]

ConsoleDude: Agreed. Leave the gun games to Time Crisis *<3 arcade*

Bingo. 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?

Quote
would take too long for them to overhaul the graphics of each game

I'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.

Show me. I really cannot believe the video game community thinks that "there will be as many RE games as Bond films" either.

[Zero_Plague]

I'll prove it to you.
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.

[Shift Key]

First of all, I'm all for sequels, but I am just pointing out that the RE ports of an "exclusive series" are not up to standard.

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.

Quote

I 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!

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.

[Zero_Plague]

Actually there is more to life then remakes that waste time.

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.

[akdaman1]

WHOA!!!

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.

[ConsoleDude]

I to don't want to see any arguing or anyone to get banned over this but I don't want to see this thread to die, I to am a huge RE fan and I mean HUGE, like collecting the  Action Figures and etc. Now having said that, after RE4 with Leon Kennedy as the star and Chris and Claire as the stars in RE Code Veronica and since Jill was in RE3, does anyone have any clue as to who should or could be in the next RE after RE4?

[Zero_Plague]

I'd presume that there is likely to be a very high chance of Chris Redfield returning.
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.

[Bill Aurion]

Billy Coen - No way in hell...

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)

[Shift Key]

Fear of getting banned? Why? For expressing an opinion? Nah, I'm not worried.

Quote

Have they been remade? Then I have no problems! *reeks of sarcasm*

Quote

Don'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.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Oh-ho, but we can't rule out BARRY *ASS KICKER* BURTON, co-star of Resident Evil Gaiden for Game Boy Color, now can we!?  Wasn't Leon in Gaiden as well, working alongside Barry?

[ConsoleDude]

I don't know, the money they've made over the series Capcom ( In my opinion ) would be hard pressed to do away with the series. I don't doubt that if there is a will ( money ) there's a way of extending the series beyond RE4.

Plus alot of things would have to come to light like, Wesker and his plans.
Someone posted that it will or it might be a 3 disc game so this could be the last but I doubt it.

[Zero_Plague]

I highly doubt that this will be the last Resident Evil Game.
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.
