Resident Evil Revelations for 360/PS3?

[Shugotenshi]

From a business standpoint, considering the hiking costs of game development, exclusives should be a dead practice by now. Under or over a rock or not.

I voted yes, I can't understand how anyone would vote 'no'. For those who voted 'no', what if there was a game coming out for a console you didn't have and don't want but it's a game that you want and the majority vote no when there is an opportunity to port it to a system you actually have? How would it hurt anyone to have Revelations on multiple platforms, even if it is a platform you don't like. Solution is, buy it for the platform you want, don't kill choice for others just because of what you like or don't like.

I voted no, I'd rather Capcom work on an original NEW game than create another port.

Besides keeping it exclusive brings more fans to that platform, meaning there is greater chance for another game to be made for the platform.

I don't want it to be ported. Most likely CAPCOM will pull a dick move and port it anyways (ala RE4 to PS2, PC, NGC).

If it came out to another system would I buy it? Probably just for collecting sake I would. If it costs more than the 3DS counterpart then count me out till it comes down in price.

It is indeed fine, but people shouldn't expect a game to shift to there system. It has happened a lot recently (Mass Effect, BioShock, and others) but there shouldn't be any sense of entitlment. At the end of day, Capcom will do what makes them money. Me? I reckon that's shifting it over to another console, something Capcom have a slight history of doing (How many versions of RE1 are there now? Not including Remake, of course) but others feel differently.

Personally, I'm not gonna buy a 3DS for this. I'm not gonna buy a 3DS for a long, long time for that amtter. So I'd really like it if it came to another console. On the other hand...I'd have prefered Valkyria Chroncles 2 and The Third Birthday on the PS3, even though I own a PSP. I'm not a big handheld fan, I only use mine when I'm putting my kids down for a nap. So, it's safe to say I'm not the market it's aimed at, and with Mercs they would have to release it with a diamond the fist of my fist to get me to buy it regardless of console. But I'd buy Revelations for a console I own. I might even think about buying it new...if the talk of it being scary pans out.

But it gives a console an edge over another one, having a game people want only available on that specific console brings people in. So it does make business sense in a sort.

Fair point! I wonder how many people that voted yes have thrown out the "lazy porting Capcom" line in the past!

[Biokk]

I voted Yes. Ill probably get it for 3DS anyway but i'm all for opening up the world of Resident Evil to as many people as possible.

Stu : I think we have to distinguish unnecessary ports from useful ones.

There are instances of "lazy ports" like with REmake and Zero on wii, and, on the other hand, instances of good ports like RE4 wii edition.

Don't get me wrong here, i don't care if Capcom ports Gaiden to the 360, i'm all for them porting old titles in fairness.

You also have to factor the trust level a gamer has (or rather had) with Capcom.

For instance they had a fair amount of knowledge that RE4 was going to port to the PS2. It didn't take them long to announce it.

So kids like me at the time who saved up under the guise that the main series was moving to gamecube were tricked into getting a copy. And while I collected (some rightfully say was suckered) into picking up the ports of RE2, 3 and Code Veronica on gamecube for as shocking prices as they were I think its safe to say that certain customers had a right to complain. Especially when it was announced that the PS2 version was going to have extra features added to it. So not only is RE4 not the gamecube exclusive everyone was to believe, but now its the incomplete experience. And there's more cases like this to tack on to Capcom's resume.

I'm not a console fanboy, but I do know how quick it is to start a console war. All it takes is that little spark. RE4 was part of that spark.

So after years of experience the only thing I can grasp is that if mercs or revelations does well a port is very likely. The "exclusive" or "only for" tag line means very little. It's wasted ink.

I thought exclusives (other than Nintendo exclusives like Zelda, Mario, etc.) were/are a thing of the past.

Only on the two next gen consoles currently available. Capcom basically makes 1 version of a game and adapts that version to the PS3 and 360. This saves them $$$ and allows them to make back a good profit.

Anywhere else, things remain as they always been like. Especially on handhelds. More or less.

You forgot the Korean exclusive cellphone version of Director's Cut. And the GBC version, if it counts (probably not).

[Jimmy Barnes]

I don't have a PS3, so it would have to be 360 for me! But I never was a big fan of handheld devices.

[RetroRain]

Resident Evil DS was the only reason I bought a DS to begin with. When I wasn't playing the game, I never used it. Revelations would have to look really good and live up to the "pure horror game" that they have been saying, to make me buy a 3DS for it.

But considering how it really does look like a 360/PS3 game on a handheld, gives it a better chance at actually being ported to the 360/PS3.
