Rumortoid: RE4 coming to Xbox 360 and PS3 [Update] photo

Hahaha, oh man. Capcom loves to re-release Resident Evil games almost to the point of self parody, and shows no signs of stopping now, if rumors are to be believed. According to a poster at The Horror, Resident Evil 4: Classic Edition could be hitting the Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles before long. 

According to the sketchy details, the game would feature series obscurity Hunk more than ever before, possibly giving him his own scenario in a manner similar to Ada Wong's sub-plot on the PS2/PC/Wii version of the game.

At the moment this is pure rumor, but given Capcom's fetish for porting Resident Evil games, and the fact that Xbox owners have thus far gone without a version of Resident Evil 4, it's not far at all from the realm of believability. When it comes to Capcom and Resi, rumors of them NOT working on a port seem far less likely.

We shall see, though. April Fool's Day is right around the corner, after all.

[Update: The rumor has been quasi-shot down, though not completely. Capcom says there are "no current plans" but we are free to "believe what [we] will." -- Thanks for the tip, Power-Glove]

I'd buy it, just because I'm a Resident Evil fanboy. Oh, and Capcom owns my soul.

You achievement whores. Meh, the Wii version was great especially since it was cheap. Forget this and release 5 already.

I haven't got the game yet but I'll wait to see if it's better on Wii or 360.

So that would make...6 different versions of #4? Christ...does any other game have that many versions? And not just multi-console releases. I'm talking each version has something added to it (not sure if the PC version added anything, except frustration...ba-dum pssssh!).

It would make sense since it's taking them so damn long with RE5. I really wanted to try the Wii version, I liked the PS2 version, so if this comes out I'd probably rent it.

How about adding a subtitle to the PS3 version?

Resident Evil 4: Still No Anti-Aliasing

Seriously, if this comes out for both of these consoles, and either version isn't anti-aliased, then there's really something wrong. RE4 looks lood when you consider the consoles that it's on right now, but the lack of anti-aliasing really kills the overall look.

This rumor has been somewhat shot down.

"I appreciate the passion that the community has for RE (especially for RE4). That said, I hate seeing people's expectations raised in some unwarranted fashion (and inevitably, I'm sure the Internet will spin it as something we've officially announced and subsequently delayed or cancelled when it doesn't show up ).

I'll stand by the third post I made in this thread. There are no current plans.

But if it makes you all happy, believe what you will.

I smell April fools somewhere.

On the topic of release schedule, Takeuchi has hinted at 2009 at the earliest in past interviews with Famitsu. In light of that statement (and other information I have) I have come out and said that 2008 was unlikely in that SG thread as listed. We have never even officially given a launch year much less month or quarter. Lost is completely correct so please stop badgering him (and Lost, stop taunting the fans). Anything you may have seen is conjecture or rumor."

If this is real, I may rent it for the achievements. :P

Seriously though, I beat RE4 like, 3 times on the Gamecube and still wouldn't mind giving it another go, especially when there's new content to be had.

Capcom says there are "no current plans" but we are free to "believe what [we] will."

Translation: "We weren't planning on it, but that's a pretty good idea! Of course we'll say we were working on it all along!"

Hey, I'd buy this again for achievements on 360. Finished the GC version ages ago, so it'd be a nice walk.

I don't understand why but this makes me really happy. Although I really wish they would spend all this effort on RE5.

I have this game on Gamecube and Wii, but I suppose a 360 version couldn't hurt. I'm usually sick of ports, but RE4 is just that good.

Ugh... allready got the GC version and the Wii version.
But it would be tempting if they released it with updated textures and 1080p resolution. And of course, new content!

This would be good for my friend whose first console since the sega genesis was the Xbox 360 he purchased last summer. He needs to play RE4.

If there is something new brought to the table, even a 4 hour Hunk scenario, I'd fucking buy it in a heartbeat. It's simply one of the greatest games ever made. It is probably my favorite of all time, or at least my second favorite. It's win.

How many times are people going to play the same game, Jimbo?

As many times as Capcom says to. It'll be a good way to get back into the flow for RE5, whenever that glorious day comes.

OH yeah: Achievements.

wow! I have never had the chance to play this game and have always wanted to since the first time I saw it on the GC. I have even been tempted to buy the PS2 version, but the lack of achievements (I know) has kept me from doing so. If this is true I would be all over it like stink on a weasel.

Agentmoo wins with his first post.

Anywho, I already paid and played this on the PS2. And, although I loved it, I'm not willing to spend more money on what will account for a few hours of new content (which you likely can't access from the get-go anyway).

Will it be worth a rental? Absolutely. Seeing that game world, brought to life in HD glory will be truly stunning. But becoming a consumer whore for a company that takes advantage of its customers by pulling shit like this every few years? Count me out. Sorry, but I happen to have self control. Clearly some people on here don't. Poor bastards.

Ugh. Here we go again.

Another 'blurry-to-cover-up-the-photoshop' picture to send a wave of rumors across the internet.

If this were real, how hard would it have been to take one decent, non-blurry picture of the games?

I really want this to be true. Beat the GC and PS2 versions several times and it never got old. Consider it bought

I'm with Mr. Wilson on this one. I'd buy it, but not for $60. Maybe $40 though.

I want to buy this again... I am sad to say that but I've bought this game twice (I rented the GC original, bought the PS2 and Wii versions) and I would definitely buy this for my 360. I want to believe.

Wouldn't mind it.
It's not a big deal if it is ported, just another chance to play it if you want to.

Yeah, I don't get why we hate this.

I love ports of classic games to new systems, especially if I didn't have the old system.

I'm not sure if RE4 is a "classic" but there are enough people who claim it is to justify it, and well...many critics say the RE4 Wii port had the best control scheme yet and was well worth it?

Updating classic games with better graphics, control schemes, new extras content rather than releasing crappy derivitave games or shovelware that's coming out for all three consoles lately? Sign me up.

I haven't played it in over 2 years, so if it was like $30 I'd definitely buy it. Especially to have the potential Hunk scenario.

The PC port was horrible. I still can't get used to the single movement controls. And the game has aged. They'd better do some real porting.

I got both the GC one and the PS2

However This :


...or something that looks like would NOT be a good cover.


PS: I made that cover to see it with out the all shaking.(it's not 100% what's in the picture but close enough)

I'd consider buying the 360 version, if only for a high-res, widescreen version that no prior version has offered. Also, getting achievements would be fun. Still, way to make me feel bad about buying previous versions.

After playing RE4 on my PC I shan't be buying any more Capcom products.

I know ports are often inferior or feature segments which still quote the console controls but RE4 PC was THE biggest piece of shit. At release the bastards were so lazy that instead of adapting the game to use the shaders/lighting effects of DirectX they just disabled the games effects entirely, leaving PC owners with a washed out version of the game inferior in appearance to the PS2 release.

It was a long long time and many thousands of complaints before they released a patch for it.

Oh and there was no mouse support either and various other screw ups.

damn - hate to hear this is NOT in the works. seeing as i bought a ps3 specifically to play this game and a few others and then found the graphics to be so poor - would really like to see good ports of this game along with prince of persia 3, dmc 3 and shadow of the colossus to name a few.

@ Fraunkd: WTF are you talking about? You bought a PS3 to play this game? Also, if you found the graphics to be poor, perhaps you need your eyes checked. This game still looks beautiful.
