Japanese box arts and new screens for Resident Evil: Revival Selection revealed

Capcom has revealed the Japanese box arts in addition to a handful of new screens for their upcoming Resident Evil: Revival Selection on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, which contains high-definition remakes of Resident Evil: Code Veronica and Resident Evil 4.

Anyone know if this Resi HD collection will also have a boxed release in Europe ?

I'm not a fan of downloading games to my HDD so would be nice for a boxed release.

Resi 4 is heaven on a disc.

there's been no announcement of any retail edition of this collection for the west

I hope there is, otherwise I might have to import this (if it has english)

Same if the Jap disk version has english to i'll import it. PS3 games are region free so any PS3 console can play.

All Resident Evil / Biohazard games in Japan play in English, especially the newer ones. They use English voice acting and support several text options for players so you should be able to import this no problem. Also, the Japanese imports work 100% on American, and I'm sure UK/European, consoles. So, import away if you really must find the need to buy a boxed version of both games.

Why is Capcom not releasing this on a disc in the West?!

>_<

[Leonesaurus]

Because it costs less, Japanese don't use or prefer DLC in their region and the West voted in a poll on Capcom-Unity in the past that they prefer DLC over forking out the extra money for a game disc/box/etc.

I prefer game box/etc. but those are just the facts.

[Vgameman]

Who in their right mind prefers DLC to actual disc-based content?

What is the world coming to nowadays? =/

[kingeo]

Because they want to make more money
@Leonesaurus What extra money?The downloadable version will cost more that the retail one and these are not DLC but full games in 2 discs for xbox360

[Leonesaurus]

It costs money to afford boxes, CD's, paper back manuals and so on for a game. When you make it DLC, it doesn't cost a dime besides the money and man hours it takes to make the game.

Now, you said, "The downloadable version will cost more"...

Downloadable games do not cost anything for the developers, accept for the money and hours it takes to actually make the game. What I'm referring to is the money it requires to get them shipped and on store shelves.

When you make any game downloadable, which is what us North Americans, the Europeans, the UK, and others will be getting, they only have to download it for whatever price Capcom makes it. Therefore Capcom saves money and we either spend more as consumers or we get a good deal.

You also said to me that, "these are not DLC but full games in 2 discs for xbox360.

While you are partially correct, you are also missing the fact that the Japanese are indeed getting RE 4 HD and RE: Code Veronica HD on two separate discs in a bundle pack sold in stores.

Everyone else will not be getting them on disc, but will have to download the titles from XBLA or PSN in all other regions, unless you import it, like I suggested in my original post.

The same thing happened in the past:

Japanese prefer game boxes and traditional ways of purchasing games opposed to DLC. Capcom themselves stated this after a poll for Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition, which I participated in a year or so ago, before it was released.

We will be downloading these games. The reason North Americans and other regions managed to get a boxed copy of RE 5: Gold Edition is thanks to the split decision between poll results.

The majority in USA and other regions preferred saving money and going for DLC, me and the other half were not as popular but there were enough of us who voted for a physical copy. That's why you can choose to purchase all DLC for RE 5: Gold Edition online or buy it altogether in stores.

Hope that helped clear up and confusion and doubt you might of had.

And if that didn't help at all, then I don't know what the fuck to tell ya? LOL
