Why Not Port Resident Evil Archives/Darkside Chronicles to PS3/360?

With motion-controls coming out on both XBox 360 (Natal) and Playstation 3 (Sony Wand) next year, wouldn't it make sense to spread the Resident Evil love by porting both Archives and Darkside Chronicles to those consoles?? Remastered versions of these titles could very well be packaged on a one disc set. Enhanced lighting and textures as well as Achievements/Trophies and Online play.


Gamers who don't own a Wii but do own a next-gen consol, either a 360 or PS3, should be able to play these titles on their console of choice. The games already have great graphics and with a bit of graphical tweaking could hold up well on HD consoles.


Capcom, have ideas like these ever come up on production meetings in the past and if so, what are the outcomes as far are decisions??

I agree with you on this.


There should be no such thing as exclusivity. We all need to share.

Because it's a series made for the Wii, as it isn't getting the main series.


According to DR Dark in another thread.

Cept in this case they really are Wii exclusives just the same as the REmake and RE:Zero. The Chronicles series are liscenced by Nintendo so they will only appear on Nintendo branded consoles.




Why are so many HD console owners such gluttons? It makes me ashamed to be one of them sometimes. Undecided


People who own just a Wii are told "You own a Wii, so you don't get the "big" games!", and that's that. So I'm telling you "You don't own a Wii, so you don't get the "small" games!"


 

I support a classic RE Franchise Reboot. Just say "no" to online multiplayer!

How on earth are the Xbox 360 or PS3 "next-gen" consoles, as "next-gen" hasn't even arrived yet. The Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3 are all current-gen consoles, regardless of graphics. And what is it that makes graphics such a must for games anyway?


The reason the games aren't coming to Xbox 360 or PS3 is because they are Nintendo exclusives. Why don't you just buy a Wii, it's not like the usual argument "I won't buy a Wii for 1 game!!!!1", it's 4 Resident Evil games, Monster Hunter 3, Tatsunoko vs Capcom and many more Capcom-Nintendo exclusives. Not to mention loads of other good games on the console, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Dead Space: Extraction and the Metroid Prime Trilogy being some of them. It's well worth the money.


And I'm with Super Rick on this one... I'm ashamed to own an Xbox 360 because of things like this...


 


As for "Spreading the Resident Evil love", remember how the Wii isn't getting RE5?

Oh they also complain that Capcom isn't spreading the Fighting game love to the HD consoles either.


Apparently SFIV, SSFIV, MvsC, and SSF2THD Remix were all terrible, and the only good Capcom fighting game is TvsC. At least that's what I gather from all the whining that's going on.

Nintendo has exclusive rights to those titles.


It's not likely you'll get those games on any other console.


If you're an RE fan, you'e going to buy a Wii, that's pretty much what it comes down too.


 


Me personally, the first console I bought from this gen was the Wii because I wanted to play Zelda. Then I hear Street fighter IV was coming out so I bought a 360 for it, not having a very good financial situation either. I just bit the bullet.


As gamers, you shouldn't buy whatever console you think is most powerful & then demand developers to make games for that console. You need to think about what games you like to play & buy whatever console allows you to play those games.


Currently Playing: King of Fighters XII, Street Fighter IV, Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, Resident Evil 5

Coming Soon: Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, Super Street Fighter IV, Dead Rising 2, Lost Planet 2, Bayonetta, Dark Void, Monster Hunter Tri

The Wii is $199 right now. Instead of buying three brand new HD console games, you could easily put that money towards a Wii and almost have enough right there. But that's the decision you gotta make.

Yup - People are always gonna ask this question - and this is pretty much the answer for it, right here.


Leave the Wii gamers alone already, we deserve something special too. Normal PS3/360 Console owners get enough of the awesome stuff that most Wii-only owners will never see...so how is it fair to deny them something exclusive?

wow i love it when someone pics apart a small flaw in someone elses choice of words.  just because he or she says next gen, some people (usually the ones that are extremely opposed to the persons OPINION) love to rip into them.  its a common mistake to refer to the hd systems as next gen, one that many people make.  as for being ashamed of owning an xbox because of "gluttons", sell it then.  im sure you wont.  im sure SFIV, RE5, MvC2, SSF2THD and plenty of non-capcom games are enough of a reason to keep it....cough-gears of war-cough.  oh yeah this is coming from a ps3 owner that still acknowledges the fact that the xbox has some awesome games. 


as for the topic creator, i agree it would be kool to see these games on the hd consoles.  when the motion controls were announced i figured this could be done as long as they werent nintendo exclusives.  i especially could see this happening after what some of the third party developers stated in regards to the motion control announcements.  however, i would rather see a remake of re2 with classic controls in hd or another outbreak game.
