Zombies infecting PSP in Resident Evil Portable

by Jason Dobson { Jun 2nd 2009 at 3:06PM }

Among the more infectious news from Sony's E3 2009 press conference was the reveal of Resident Evil for the PSP. Described as a "whole new game," details are eerily light on the upcoming portable zombie hunt. We'll be on the lookout for more on the game as the week wears on, hoping to uncover a green herb or two along the way.

PLEASE go back to the police station, PLEASE!!!

It would be quite kool if there was an Outbreak style multiplayer mode.

Levi @ Jun 2nd 2009 3:20PM

If this is a return to real zombies, it's day 1 for me!

Ranelar @ Jun 2nd 2009 3:34PM

Yea I hate when games and movies use fantasy zombies; use the real thing!

TomCo @ Jun 2nd 2009 3:42PM

Yeah!
Can't wait to beat the crap out of smack heads on the mean streets.

Fantasy zombies, pfft.

MrTroy @ Jun 2nd 2009 3:52PM

Ranelar: I think because the real ones are union, the others have to pretend.

Scuffles @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:18PM

Actually with the price of CG graphics these days its actually cheaper to engineer a retrovirus and make some real zombies on the cheap

Actually a game I might be interested in purchasing myself assuming it isn't going to be download only like patapon2

Levi @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:47PM

lololol I totally deserved that.

I meant that I prefer the old zombies as opposed to the not-zombies in 4 and 5. But you guys totally called me out on the grammar fail... XD

Finally a game that doesn't use the second analog stick anyway! BA DOOM CHISH!

LAZoftheTamarinds @ Jun 2nd 2009 6:50PM

Well even in the new recent action RE games the 2nd analog wasn't even really used.

So, I see no problem.

Capcom's had some good outings on the PSP. Let's hope this is another good one.

Firewarrior @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:48PM

Sony are really stepping up their game on the PSP, a good thing, the only thing killing it is the small library with few blockbusters.

Mokano40 @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:11PM

At last !!!! now all we need is a Devil May Cry for PSP and we are all set.

Hukuzo @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:27PM

I hope this is more of a classic style Resident Evil. Not that I don't enjoy the great action offered in the newer titles, I just want some new old fashioned zombie surviving goodness.

cafecito @ Jun 2nd 2009 8:52PM

That makes two of us. Please Capcom, I want zombies in my RE. And puzzles. And eerie corridors.

cylet @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:23AM

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET

Doesn't anyone feel this is just another attempt at milking the Franchise? The remake for the original Resident Evil (which was released in 1996) on the Nintendo DS wasn't that great, so what makes you think this will be any better?

ferretsr @ Jun 27th 2009 11:30AM

that was a port, not a remake. The remake was on the gamecube, and it was awesome.

Josh @ Aug 4th 2009 12:24PM

Ok, first of all, you guys are dumb... why in GOD's name would you want to go back to the slow, boring, easily killed zombies instead of ACTUALLY fearing for your life while fast-paced, SCARIER zombie-like people try to maul you? and as far as resident evil being remade on the ds... that's the DS!!!! the graphics and controls are HORRIBLE for that system (at least when it comes to RE). psp will be much easier to use... it'll have the old school feel while maintaining decent graphics... personally, i can't wait for this... this IS going to be the next chapter in the RE series whether you like it or not...
