Capcom explains western digi-release for Resident Evil Survival Selection

Capcom is hoping that opting for digital releases of both Resident Evil 4 and Code Veronica X will lower the entry point for consumers.

What....so we have to download it.

Urgh, I hate downloading things, especialy a big looking file like RE4/CVX. I think your going to see Capcom that it's not going to "reach" more people because...

1) People don't like to waste space on their 360/PS3
2) People don't like downloading big files
3) People don't like downloading all together
4) People don't have enough free space for it

I think there only doing it because their going to beneift doing it as a digital release some way. I was going to get to this but thanks Capcom you've made my mind up for me.

Alos884701d ago

They're doing it to lower the price.

dgonza404701d ago

how much could it really cost?
i'd prefer physical media and pay a little more.

StanSmith4701d ago (Edited 4701d ago )

They're doing it for other reasons. Where the hell they thought they could charge £35 ($50) for these two old games on disc i'll never know. I paid a maximum of £20 ($40) for the other HD collections that i own.

Now they're digital only, they'll be lucky to get £7.99 per game out of me. Once again Capcom prove how out of touch they are!

*Edit*
Also, how do they work out that by having digital releases they'll reach more people? Not everyone has their consoles signed up to Live and PSN.

gamingdroid4701d ago

In other words, they are ripping of Japanese consumers. Well, it is a free market! ...sort of.

I used to frown upon digital, because it kills almost any real competition on the same game i.e. retailer discounts or even clearance, but I have gotten so used to it that I almost prefer it. No disc to loose or scratch, but I can't lend it to a friend either.

@MARIOFTW:

I believe the price points give them a wider reach. Also, the game will stand on the "digital" shelf longer and be more accessible to immediate purchase.

Nodoze4701d ago

Wow is Capcom out of touch this generation. First, NOBODY would pay 50 dollars for two older updated releases. 39.99 is about the max the market will support. Consider that people can pickup Res Evil4 for Wii for around 10 bux. Granted it is not in HD, but that is not the point.

I would have bought this in disc...as a download I am not interested. ESPECIALLY with what I know will be an inflated asking price.

Capcom F's up another release. Great going guys.

StanSmith4701d ago

I bet there will be an inflated price plus DRM attached where you will be only able to play them when signed into a PSN or Live account.

Unless they are really cheap then i'll stick to my Wii copy of Resi 4. Perhaps it'll look better on WiiU too.

trainsinrdr4701d ago

So no retail release? ah well sure what can ye do

paradigmfellow4700d ago

Import the Japanese version and not buy the western version to send a message.

malamdra4701d ago (Edited 4701d ago )

the hell with this, I'll import the asian version if it has english

on the other hand I have no interest in Code Veronica, so if I can buy RE4 only for less then it might be OK, also the file should be around 4 gb, not that big

GamersXTREME4701d ago

I'm right there with you...I hate not having an actual box for my games...

hiptanaka4701d ago

Does this version only have one save, too?

If you're wanting more PSVR 2 support, you should probably buy all of these games.

Speak with your wallet!

Profchaos58d ago

Bit rich to have to buy games you don't want because you want Sony to support the expensive headset they sold us which cost as much as the console it runs on beyond paying third partys to support it.
Seriously in terms of first party we have horizon on day 1 and a gt 7 vr mode.

They seemingly have made little effort to support it beyond paying Capcom to make re games in VR or a second party studio to make firewall which was mismanaged.

I'm a day 1 psvr2 user and the only thing I'm excited for right now is PC support.

I commented recently this bespoke VR game development model we have right now clearly doesn't work

crazyCoconuts58d ago

On the one hand I feel like there's been plenty of smaller non-AAA games to play and occupy me as a supplement to my flat screen gaming.
But I agree that Sony has done nothing to elevate this beyond the niche it's in and into the mainstream where it would be economical to create AAA games for it.

Babadook758d ago (Edited 58d ago )

Most of these games are worth owning for most people; I own all but 2 of them in fact. So I agree with kevco33. I think you're crazy if you downplay this list quite frankly. Sony can't keep funding software if people don't buy any of it, the ball is squarely in OUR court.

Sony has spent a lot on 3rd party stuff this gen like RE.

phoenixwing58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

Saving up for the headset is my first hurdle. Let alone buying games I don't want lol

mudakoshaka58d ago

People downvoting you for not having enough finances...what a world we live in, haha

phoenixwing58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

@mudako
They feel affronted at the very thought that I don't plunk down 500 immediately lol I have a little over 900 games in my backlog I've been buying games instead of hardware ever since I got my PC and ps5. I just don't know if vr is really for me honestly. Every time I have a couple hundred allocated to video games it makes more sense to buy a bunch of flat games instead of vr ones

mudakoshaka58d ago

I have 9 out of these 10 games. I try to buy all the VR games I like to support the advancement of VR!

TheEroica57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

I spoke with my wallet after watching the first headset get weak support. Easy pass until Sony earns my money. Feel bad for those who parted with 500 bucks, falling for the hype that Sony was actually gonna support this thing.

Neonridr58d ago

I own 7 of these titles off the list, lol.

NotoriousWhiz58d ago

I'm trying to decide if it's worth holding onto my psvr 2. I enjoy what it has currently, but it seems unlikely to get anything else. Might be better off just waiting for something with more support if that ever comes.

Profchaos58d ago

As a fellow psvr2 owner the question seemingly comes down to do you own a PC.

I think I'm all in I have a habit to hold onto my systems anyhow I still have my psvr1 to hell I still have my NES.

But while it's still worth something yeah you could sell it and if Sony turns the ship around you should be able to buy another one for less than you soldmit for I feel like we won't see any fix for the headset for the next 2 years rumours show that Sony has no current first party VR games in active development after they closed London studios

The whole psvr2 situation has left me feeling a little burnt on PlayStation as a whole to be honest. The first psvr felt experimental but it was supported far more than this superior headset

MIDGETonSTILTS1758d ago

GT7 surprised me, because I hate racing games, but i poured 100 hours into it way too quickly.

I’m looking forward to the Metro VR game this year, and I hope that WW2 dogfighter game releases eventually.

talocaca58d ago

I have most of them 😅

Waiting for a sale on Synapse and Arizona Sunshine 2.....also Metro coming this year looks great.
