Capcom debunks rumors of RE4 on PS3, 360

by Kyle Orland on Mar 26th 2008 1:00PM

Resident Evil fansite The Horror is Alive caused a minor stir yesterday by posting a phonecam pic of the purported box art for a "Classic Edition" remake of Resident Evil 4 for the PS3 and Xbox 360. The rumor got picked up by a variety of gaming sites -- including a somewhat incredulous Xbox 360 Fanboy -- and THIA followed it up today with supposed hi-res shots of the box art, adding further fuel to the fire.

Enter Capcom with a rumor-dousing fire blanket. Writing on Capcom's community forums, Vice President Christian Svennson said outright that there are "no plans for RE4 on 360 or PS3 at this time." Of course, that's exactly what he would say if there was a super-secret remake that Capcom just wasn't ready to announce yet. We'll take him at his word though, mostly because we hope the company is focusing its resources on Resident Evil 5 at this point. Besides, how many more remakes of a three-year-old game do we need exactly?

Re-done in HD 720p and with achievements. I'd rent it =) fo sho!!

Thanks Capcom for not wasting your time and money on a game that would just look better. Instead, keep spending your time on RE5 for the REAL now-gen machines.

Why do you always forget to put the /sarcasm after all your comments?

Co, where does that cute little crocodile/alligator come from?

Only from the greatest college sports school in America!

Could you please make your name longer or stupider? Oh, and try to make it even less funny than it already is. I know that's a tall order, but I'm sure that you're up to it.

Its rare, but I think Ken has a reasonable statement somewhere in there.

I'd rather the time and effort of a port be put into RE5. Work on the new one instead of yet another re-release of the old one.

Tis a silly idea!

If there is anyone out there that hasn't bothered to play this masterpiece already then they deserve to be slapped around the face with a kipper!

Besides, for the money this would cost if they did make it you can probably get a used copy of the game and a Gamecube.

I never saw the "shock value" of this rumor. Would anyone have REALLY been surprised if they have recycled RE4 for yet another release on another system? Glad to hear they aren't going to that well again, however.

What the? This is the first I've even heard about it.

I loved RE4, one of my all time favorites. I want RE5 asap but if they had another team working on a reissue of RE4 for 360 at a budget price, HELL YEAH I would play it to hold me over till RE5!!!!! Bring it!

i wouldn't be surprised they did this...i mean they whored this game off on every other console...why not get the people that have refused to buy RE4 another go huh? lets get like 120 dollars from the 2 people who haven't played this over whored game

What's up with RE1 re-releases and remakes? Not that I love or would buy remakes but 2 and 3 just kind of got left behind.

RE1 had a remake because when Capcom was porting all the RE over to gamecube they didn't think that the PS1 version would look good enough. They then made the remake of RE1 but not RE2, 3, and CV because they had already made them on the dreamcast.

A Resident Evil 2 remake would be appreciated though!

Maybe EA will buy Capcom and make them publish it. Just pulling your leg.

I would be ok with the idea of this being a download title on PSN. Although I don't own a PS3 I think it would be cool if they started adding PS2 games for download, like Xbox 360 has done with their original xbox titles.

Isn't the guy with the breathing mask in COD4?

Hunk was a character in Resident Evil 2.

The Wiimake was a real improvement in terms of controls, too bad we can't get the best of both worlds with IR aiming and enhanced HD graphics. Actually they could use that orange gun from that time crisis game or whatever. I'd buy it right away.

Seven....there needs to be seven more remakes of three year old games.

That boxart is awful anyway.

meh.. just bring on the 5 & let 4 alone already ;)

i've seen a similar avatar to yours somewhere on joystiq... just...can't.. think...of...who...

I don't know why Capcom continues to pimp RE4. Take the 4 off the box and slap a deuce on it. That would be something to see.

Most people can already play RE4 on PS3 with up-res, but I can see where the demand for a 360 version is coming from.

I'll take it...again. A 3rd time.

I've already owned the Gamecube one, I now own the Wii one, and I'd gladly pay for a 360 one including an overhauled graphics engine...damn right I would.

I think it would be a nice addition to 360's library with some polish and achievements it would make the wait for RE5 a little more bearable.

Agreed I would buy this. I also wouldnt mind an anniversary collection with ported versions from gc.

Silly 'journalism'. You should know by now that denial does not = 'debunked'.

'Debunked' actually means jack nowadays until you see a big public announcement with the company signing this big legal document swearing never to ever make the said game ever.

they said they would never port resident evil 4 for the gamecube, and they didnt. they added a bunch of new content to it and repackaged it all together slipping through some nice loopholes and made a shit ton more money from it. remaking it yet again for the 360 and ps3 though i think would be a tad bit of overkill. no one gave a fuck when re3 and re2 were ported to gamecube cause you could have gotten them on n64, psone, pc, and dc by time that had happened.

Naw. Capcom wouldn't throw together a quick port to make money! They arn't like that...

I still like taking wiimote to blast zombies.
