Support NeoGAF

[SomedayTheFire]

I have no idea why you think it'd be so expensive to port this game to Switch. Low cost ports of older games is one of the easiest ways to support a platform, Capcom has supported smaller platforms with more. Capcom should be wanting to help grow the platform that will in all likelihood be the successor to the platform that has had their most stable franchise for the past few years.

I have no idea why you don't think return on investment for all projects, even cheap ones, isn't a deciding factor in green lighting it. they simply won't make the money to make the game worthwhile right now. it'll eventually go to switch, because capcom port everything everywhere now it seems. but right now they decided it wasn't worth releasing.

Instead of porting Code Veronica for PS4/PC/One, Capcom ports this...I mean, probably it's a port from the PC version, but why they decided to go with this instead of a proper RE game?

Well ask yourself which if the two is the easier to port?

 

[Jawmuncher]

What if we never get a Rev 3 though 🤔

 

[dragonlife]

I'm with you.

On that note, however...after Mercs 3D, the idea of a "Mercenaries 2017" for Switch really sounds like something I would go for.

I would die happy if this were to happen. I'm a big fan of Mercs, and I absolutely adored Mercs 3D.

What if we never get a Rev 3 though ��

I'll scream.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

What if we never get a Rev 3 though 🤔

I'd thank god. really though I'd say they will pivot and make Rev the action series now the mainline has gone back to being good. Keep the trash in the trash heap

 

[kromeo]

The main theme is excellent. That is all

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Gimme that dragons dogma on ps4/xbone capcom

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Okay. I hope it's seriously improved compared to the other versions.

Gimme that dragons dogma on ps4/xbone capcom

Yeah, this x 1000. C'mon Capcom!

 

[Anung]

REV 3, Resi 6 controls, starring Billy Cohen and Carlos/Sheva/Rebecca. Do it!

 

[ethomaz]

That is good.

 

[tkscz]

Barf.

One of the worst games in the series.

Disagree whole heartiedly. This game (at least the Jill sections) were what I've wanted sense RE:4. A perfect mix of the controls of new RE with the exploration/horror elements of classic RE.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Woah ok, physical release too? Very cool and strange. I guess Capcom are releasing all HD RE games on PS4/XBO. I know Switch posts are all over threads like this but it really is a shame Capcom haven't announced any Switch RE games, I would do unspeakable things for a portable RE4.

 

[kc44135]

That's cool, but for anyone who hasn't played it yet, I'd advise caution. This game was impressive by 3DS standards (it's still one of the best looking games ever released for it), but it really shows it's portable limitations when played on console. Aiming feels awful compared to any of the proper console RE's, melee is extremely limited, the Dodge mechanic sucks ass, enemies often just feel like bullet sponges, and for all the marketing talk about the game being a return to the series Survival Horror roots, it really isn't scary at all, nor does it have the structure and design of the classics and RE7. Much like Revelations 2, it's really just a linear action game with gameplay mechanics that don't compare very well to the mainline action games. All that said, it's cool they're porting it, and even if I'm not the biggest fan of the Revelations series, I'll still buy it. I am hopelessly obsessed with this series after all.

I would think if they decide to make action again, they'd just give it a new subtitle. No reason to reuse the Rev name, considering action RE fans don't really care for that series already.

Also action RE isn't trash, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

 

[giancarlo123x]

You get 1080p 60FPS. Enjoy for $40

Why would it be 40 when all their remasters have been 20? I never owned a copy and played through it so I'm in.

It's not scary though. It also probably has the worst designed monsters out of the entire franchise. And the ship is also really bland with no character. It's just all kind of bland.

 

[JohnSpartanLee]

I want Code Veronica with replaced models: Chris, Wesker and zombies from REmake and for Claire use the model from the Code Veronica-cutscenes (I mean the in-engine cutscenes, not the FMVs) which has more polygons than the one you steer outside her cutscenes.

 

[kc44135]

Also, this. Capcom, pls.

And yet they thought it was a good idea to port over Street Fighter 2 HD and port over the MT framework engine for just a dumb little first person mode.
The return of this port on PS4 and XBO isn't going to be high at all and the return for it on Switch would likely be higher than their SF2 port. Like I said, ports of old games are one of the easiest ways to support a system, especially if the system is easy to port to (all indications are that the Switch is very easy to work with) and the first year of new platforms are often filled with ports. Capcom skipping Switch for this just plain dumb, especially when they've ported bigger games to smaller platforms.

He's dead.

Luckily he died.

That's where I sit with it.
It's not a bad game, but I wouldn't call it good either. It's the definition of mediocre. It just kinda exists as a game. For me I didn't hate my time with it, but I also have no care to go back to it. I've even beaten it multiple times just to see if my opinion would change about it.

 

[TRUE ORDER]

Really don't see the reasons behind it but welp. I liked the game but Jill's face and voice is terrible...

Please fix Jill's face.

That would be awesome but don't see it happening TBH.

 

[dancrane212]

Put the laser sight back in and you'll get my $20 sight unseen. Passed on the last console port partly because that was removed.

 

[Nasbin]

The Switch port begging is out of control.

 

[Shiggy]

Sales of the 3DS and Wii U Resident Evil games weren't really satisfying Capcom's expectations, so it doesn't come as a surprise they are taking a wait-and-see approach. They'll surely launch new Ace Attorney and Monster Hunter games on Switch, which are more targeted at Japanese players.

 

[MetalSlug]

Wish they would just put Code Veronica on Steam. That hasn't been on the PC ever.

 

[Jonneh3003]

The Switch port begging is out of control.

Hardly. It's a cheap port of a game that was on every platform, even the 3DS (where it was exclusive for a while).

 

[Vashetti]

Awesome, I bought this for super cheap digitally on PS3 but never actually played it.

Looking forward to this.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Hardly. It's a cheap port of a game that was on every platform, even the 3DS (where it was exclusive for a while).

But it won't be as cheap to port it to Switch. The return just isn't worth it for them obviously.

 

[RootCause]

I've already bought this on three platforms. Think I'll wait for a large price drop this time. Hopefully they bring the rest of the series to steam, ps4, and x1.

 

[Opa-Pa]

How was the last gen port of this? I enjoyed REv quite a lot on 3DS so I'd like to replay it in a definitive version.

Also everyone and their mother seems to call this bad/mediocre and I remember it being the first RE game I loved since RE4 so I'd like to see how wrong my perspective of this game is lol.

 

[dolabla]

Also disappointed they aren't bringing it to the Switch. I thought it was a decent game. Maybe at a later date? I hope they bring Origins Collection too since those two were GameCube games at one time.

Portable REmake would be devine.

 

[IronicSonic]

Wake me up when they announce RE4 for Switch.

With motion controls please

It's likely only going to be $20 this time around y'know, just like the other REmasters they've put out. I really doubt they'd charge anything more than that for an HD port of a five year old 3DS game.

Well, there's nothing wrong with the HD ports specifically (although some folks disliked the laser sight being replaced with a generic crosshair). I think the main reason alot of people disliked the HD ports compared to the 3DS original is simply that the game doesn't hold up well as a console experience. It doesn't look or sound all that great, even if the HD version is a decent upgrade over the original. The story is incomprehensibly dumb (even by RE standards, it's pretty bad). The gameplay is also just really clunky and awkward compared to the mainline action games, and even Revelations 2. I don't like REV2 as much as most people seem to, but it's still a dramatic improvement in gameplay over the original.

 

[Gator86]

What if we never get a Rev 3 though 🤔

Loved Rev2 so I'd be pretty sad. Between the Rev line and RE7, the series is in a great place right now.

 

[stilgar]

edit - Switch already being looked over with new port announcements :facepalm:

Yeah, that's actually pretty facepalm worthy. It looks like a very,very safe port to make ?

 

[kromeo]

Luckily he died.

The virus brings him back. He'll be double teaming with Billy in Rev 3

 

[Unreal Champ]

That means I will have all the recently released RE games on one console.

 

[kc44135]

Yeah, it seems like a no-brainer, especially considering it was designed for a handheld (a Nintendo handheld, no less) in the first place. It seems​ like it would be a great fit, tbh.

 

[Undead Fantasy]

Thank fucking god for a retail release.

Day 1 if not broken or if it doesn't have a big day one patch.

 

[Screamapillar]

Confusion is because RE Revelations II was on consoles, but the original was a 3DS exclusive, but 2 didn't come to 3DS.

 

[Rymuth]

Luckily he died.

Didn't Wesker revive him in one of the supplemental material or am I misremembering?

 

[Icolin]

Awesome. Outbreak better be next.

 

[KaneU]

Have this on my 3DS and couldn't play it for more than one hour overall, the controls were pretty terrible on 3DS.

 

[dancingphlower]

So Capcom's just bringing back all of their old RE games? Wonder how long until they have like a series collection or something.

 

[Strike]

Missed this on last gen consoles so I'm not complaining.

 

[Shiggy]

2 didn't come to Wii U either despite even releasing on Vita. Sales of the first didn't seem too good.
