Resident Evil Portable: Is This the Capcom Nuclear Bomb??

In the latest PSMania 3.0 Issue, an Italian PS3 MAG, there's a Rumor about a Resident Evil Title on the Sony PSP Console:

Here's a Translation(from Google)
"
Is there anybody listening? ?

Not too long ago, the Internet was a real popular petition that fans of Resident Evil have signed and signed to Capcom to know that Sony's users desperately need a Resident Evil for PSP, whatever it is !
The request is not done in a vacuum, in fact a member of the house of Osaka has specifically requested that the signatures are at least 10,000 fans if we really want to attract the attention of developers!
One suggestion that did best hope for many other fans Residen Evil, which have come immediately on the website of the petition bringing even more signatures."

Will This be the "Nuclear Bomb" from Capcom coming in a few days???

just to prove a point. Capcom, as much as I love an innumerable amount of their franchises, has nothing that could be considered earth-shattering..nothing. The only thing that would come close is them starting a new console, and all signs point to no on that one.

achira6061d ago

earthshattering would be resi exclusive on ps3.

Genki6061d ago

I wouldn't even go so far as to say that. The people it would matter the most to are the fanboys, as that would just result in yet another tumultuous session of mudslinging, complete with 1200 degrees and over 300 comments.

IMO, to be earth-shattering it would have to do just that, shake up the ENTIRE gaming community, not just the ones in a bitter pissing contest with one another.

Maldread6061d ago (Edited 6061d ago )

Yeah me too, even though that could be said for many game companies that hype up announcements before they`re made.

Not smart if you ask me, since most will end up disappointed by them. But it`s an okey way to build up hope for the company, before it`s crushed. I mean, when was the last time such a announcement lived up to the initial promise ?

People should know by now not to take this kind of statements as confirmation of their fanboy dreams, and start applying some logic.

A RE-PSP game would probably be cool, but i think most would want a PS3 game instead. It will be fun to see what come out of it though.

xhi46061d ago

This is not the earth shattering news. Why you may ask? (and why the cliche rhetorical question?) Because, the interviewer said you have lost a lot of fans from the PS3 community over blah blah......, but he says PS3, then he answers saying something like, lets see what they think next week. But the keyword here is PS3. I don't know, maybe he just ignored or forgot or the PS3 word was dropped loosely, but I have a gut feeling this isn't it.

TheHater6061d ago

I don't see this having anything to do with the ps3. and to consider a psp game "Earth Shattering" is total bull crap

felman876060d ago

Capcom's big announcement for TGS was a few PS2 games. And who said that the big news would be for the PS3? If there's going to be an exclusive for a sony system, it would be for the PSP. How about RE1, 2 and 3 remake using the over-the-shoulder view?

sandip7876061d ago

capcom were talking about ps3 fans.
this is for psp
so we're still waiting for this announcement

PANDADjCK6061d ago

A earth shattering announcement would have to be Resident Evil 5 exclusive to the PS3 or atleast Devil May Cry 4.

Bnet3436060d ago

they will never abandon 360 fanbase, it's too important to them since it has games like Lost Planet and Dead Rising.

Darkiewonder6061d ago (Edited 6061d ago )

The fact there are RE Going to mobile. having this as a "Bomb" announcement isn't plausible. Still have a few more days until the "BIG" announcement.

EDIT: I got it. Okami for the ps3 lawlz.

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow8d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1827d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie7d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Take a nap, conspiracies are rotting your brain.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere6d ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow6d ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

OtterX7d ago

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney6d ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno7d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno7d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii7d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno7d ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?

I would kill to have a Way of the Samurai game with a huge budget and modern tech... The first game was one of my greatest joys on PS2 back in the day. And I really hope From Software will do something with Tenchu... I hate that they're just sitting on the IP like it doesn't even exist.

Relientk7736d ago

Don't play with my feelings like that.

Also, new Tenchu please!

TheColbertinator35d ago

Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.
