Capcom confirms Resident Evil 4 for iPhone photo

So remember that iPhone version of Resident Evil 4 that popped up on the App Store? Yesterday we were calling it a rumor, today it's been confirmed. 

According to Capcom's official Twitter of Tweeting, Resident Evil 4 for the iPhone is indeed a thing that exists. The title will be available at the end of the July in Japan, with a release for other territories to "follow shortly thereafter." Specifics like price and what you can expect in terms of content are unknown. 

From what we've seen, Resident Evil 4 on the iPhone looks strikingly similar in gameplay to the previously released Resident Evil: Degeneration iPhone game. The control scheme, utilizing a touch-analog-stick system appears identical, as does other aspects of the game. Of course, there's more chainsaw guy in Resident Evil 4, which automatically makes it a better game. Right?

Seriously. No one needs this. And this is coming from a guy who has an iPhone, and lists RE4 as his favorite game of all time.

@ FawkAndSuck ??!?

RE4 for the Wii... was terrible.
Did you play that version and not the PS2 Version?

The PS2 version is VERY crisp.

I wonder how crappy it will be compared to a console version.

You know, RE5 Wii has got to be in the bag, this is like the 5th port of Resident Evil 4 so its pretty obvious that Capcom is trying to squeeze as much money out of this cash cow as they can so I expect them to do the same with RE5.

Resident evil 4 on the wii looked fine to me.

@thestripe yeah, Resident Wiivil 4 was actually my favorite version of 4. I thought it was more fun with the waggle controls (this is rare for me), and it had all the bonus content (I believe) from the other ports.

What?!Capcom is milking the cow again with Resident Evil4?LOL, I just had a big gigantic love feeling towards Konami...people say that they´re milking Silent Hill giving it to western developers but, nothing compares with what Capcom does with RE!

God whose dumbass idea was it to put a survival horror on a phone. Let's just kill all horror aspects why don't we (besides the terror of the crappy controls and graphics).

Sorry mrsatan, but Resident Evil has had "bad" controls forever to help "immerse" the player in the game.

My god, the controls are perfect for the PSP, and they're making a damned iPhone game?

Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition was an awesome title for an awesome console. What made it terrible, huh? Was it the good controls? Maybe the sleek visuals, or the now-available bonus content Nintendo patrons didn't get before because of Sony? Or was it the cool box-art?

Agreed. I played it first on the GC, then the PS2, then Wii. Controlled brilliantly on the Wii, far and away the best version.
