Resident Evil 4 Classic Edition heading to Playstation 3 & Xbox 360?

54
The Horror writes: "I was sent this goody by a friend who works at Capcom's San Fransisco building. He spied an artist working on what appeared to be boxart for an upcoming port of Resident Evil 4 for the XBOX 360 and PS3 entitled "Resident Evil 4 Classic Edition". Details are sketchy, but from what my contact could gather, the game will feature Hunk more than before. When pressed further, they said Hunk would be getting his own story-campaign, similar to Ada's Separate Ways scenario in the PS2/PC/Wii versions. I'm attempting to get direct captures of the boxart, and not a quick cellphone grab but this will have to do for now. We'll have more to report on this in the coming days!"

if true great. RE4 was a great game but i feel they should be focusing more on RE5. If they plan to release it as a psn download for like 20 bucks or less then that is ok

I believe Capcom have more than 1 team of developers working for them. Probably a separate team handling this game, and one team handling RE5.

RE4 was a great game, but Capcom needs to start concentrating on RE5.

2.1 - Never too much?
Think of it like GT5 Prologue, an appetizer to RE5. Most Xbox gamers have probably never played the series. I only played the original on PC and am looking forward to this. Though, I'll probably be getting it for my PS3, not Xbox. I also wouldn't mind the original on PSN or XBLA.

the reason why re4 is coming out for both 360 and ps3 is because resident evil 5 is taking long and wont be released until october 2008 :)

Leon Kennedy is awesome. Can't wait for some HD quality RE4. It was great on PS2/Wii/GC.

But I prefer Chris Redfield. It's been a while since he's been in action!

15 - Dear god
Resident Evil 4 was a great game, and inspired a boatload of action games like Gears and Uncharted. Now let's leave it at that and let it's legacy be judged by Resident Evil 5 and not how Capcom is trying every way imaginable to rehash this game for currency.

18 - If they add a ton of extras
(more guns, enemies and outfits) And make it look half-way decent in HD, and then I would get it. If its just a port, why bother?
Although Hunk's side of the story sounds cool. It's not enough for me to buy it though, I'll just stick with the Wii or ps2 version.

If they add a online MP to it, that would be a instant seller. Those Merc maps were pretty fun and well thought out. Unlocking guns/chainsaws/etc and outfits (new and old) in mercenaries and being able to use them in MP/SP would be fantastic also. Just a thought though :(

EDIT: damn...its fake nvmd

20 - another RE 4 port?
no, no more RE 4 ports. Give us RE 5, or give us a remake of the 1st 3 RE with HD graphics. Its your pick, if I were you I would pick the ez one *cough RE 5 cough*

21 - Played it to death...
Its perfect as it is on PS2 and Gamecube/Wii, so why dont they focus on getting RE5 out instead.

I have played trough it several times on both consoles, and so have probably most gamers.

I know its fake now thanks.

25.1 - Watch your tongue young lad
RE4 is the game who's control scheme has inspired some of the best, including GearsOW, Uncharted, Dark Sector, GTA4, and the mighty MGS4.

So, buddy, STFU.

26 - One of my best Christmas memories…
Was of coming back to the Gamecube version a year or so back – and fueled utterly by a tin of Cadburys Heroes, I battled on to complete the game.

Now when I think of that time of year, I don’t think of the son of God, or Santa … but Mike The Helicopter Guy, who’s bravery inspired me to gleefully swearing loudly with a mouthful of chocolate as he took out a whole chunk of possed mofos…before that turned to sadness soon after.

*sniff* Bless ya Mike!

^_^

(*GREAT GAME*)

Not played this game on the gamecube, PS2 or Wii. Would be nice to see it on the 360 and PS3, but its a debunked rumour now.

30 - Stop me if you've heard this one.....
Another damned port!? How many times are they going to pimp this game out? She's good, but she's starting to chafe. I still have my "ONLY ON GAMECUBE" copy! lol.

To be honest, if CAPCOM really wanted to impress me, they'd throw together one of those "collection" packages for the main RE games.

Resident Evil Zero
Resident Evil (the gamecube remake version!)
Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 3
Resident Evil Code Veronica (original Dreamcast version)
Resident Evil 4 *Special Edition

Throw out a package that gives me all that on a Bluray disc or two, and I'll fork over my money again.
