I never heard an official explanation of what happened to the PSP Resident Evil that was announced two years ago at E3. I'm assuming it became Revelations, but does anyone know for sure? Did it ever start development? Was it moved to VIta?

Is there a version floating around somewhere of it like RE 1.5 for PS1?

No.
RE PSP was never anything more than a title screen.

I don't think it ever entered production or got past pre-production, Capcom never revealed who was working on it either.

All that was revealed was a logo at Sony's event, that's it...I think.

That and Resident Evil Damnation haven't been heard of since their initial reveals, so I assume both are cancelled. Nothing was said of either in 2011. I figure if they existed still, they would have been in the anniversary video.

As far we know it was shovelware, some say it was Operation Raccon City, before it was canned and become a HD title.

I'd say it never actually existed just like DMC PSP.

If RESP still exists in any form, it's launching in March as Operation Raccoon City.

Niro theorized that Raccoon City was RE PSP initially.

Well, we knew three things about the game:
-It was for PSP.
-The title screen featured Raccoon City.
-It was a "very different direction" for the series.

Operation Raccoon City is a game that takes place in Raccoon City, is made by famed PSP developer Slant Six, and is a very different direction for the series.

It also seems to have come into existence around the same time as RESP was first being talked about.

- Deal between Capcom USA and SCEA because Capcom Japan seemingly had nothing to do with the game or even knew about the announcement.
- Raccoon City background
- Developer worked on Socom games for PSP

Damnation was always a 2012 release; so guess we'll hear more about it soon...since the fifth live-action movie is also coming this year (September).

Teaser/Trailer for Retribution debuts next week online and in 3D before Underworld (the movie was apparently renamed to 'Re5ident Evil: Retribution'. ).

Much like RE Portable, it was announced and they just kinda forgot to actually make it. A few years ago they confirmed that it was cancelled.

If it was larger, it would have made for an awesome wallpaper.

OT: I am guessing that game got was supposed to be shovelware but Capcom saw the piracy rates for the PSP and switched its handheld strategy the DS/3DS and iOS.

This was asked on Capcom forums and a Capcom employee said the RE PSP project wasn't related to Revelations at all. He didn't say anything beyond that though.

Sony: So we got this PSP thing, it's basically a mini PS2?
Capcom: Sweet
Sony: You in?
Capcom: Yeah, go ahead and say Resident Evil & Devil May Cry are coming.
Sony: Really? Awesome
Capcom: *Mumbles under breath* we'll probably get round to making those eventually

Some time later...

Sony: What happened?
Capcom: Oh ermm Devil May Cry isn't happening
Sony: Oh okay
Capcom: Errr just re-announce Resident Evil. We'll come up with something
Sony: Okay cool.

Some time later...

Sony Employee 1: Hey anyone still got Capcom's number?
Sony Employee 2: Nah, I got rid of it after they gave 3DS Monster Hunter 4.

*Everyone just casually moved on after*

I remember reading that somewhere, I just couldn't remember where and assumed it was on news site. That would explain why I couldn't find it, I guess.

I think both RE:Rev and KH3d both started out on the PSP, but got shifted to 3DS because of poor software sales.

Interesting, kinda like how Assassins Creed 3DS turned into Assassins Creed: Revelations.

He's just guessing. I don't agree, either. RE:R at least was talked about as a technical showcase, born from playing around with MT Framework on the hardware and seeing what they could get out of it.

Just a guess based on how early they're releasing. Of course they both looks great and updated, but I have a feeling they were both PSP games at some point in the production cycle.
