Recent reports suggest that Capcom will focus more toward a multiplatform strategy.

According to the Friday edition of the Nikkei Business Daily, Capcom is starting to reevaluate its current relationship with Nintendo. The next game in Capcom's Resident Evil franchise, Resident Evil 4, will remain exclusive to the GameCube, but Capcom has reportedly stated that future games in the series would be made available on other platforms as well. Part of this comes from recent sales figures, which have fallen short of Capcom's original expectations. The article also says that Xbox accounted for only 1.5 percent of Capcom's sales, but the company hopes to increase that particular figure.

We'll post more as it develops.

at least I'm glad to hear part 4 is still there. :)

now when it comes to games past that, I just hope they're not planning on making ports of the same game over and over becasue I'm just sick to death of buying the game and having to find out it's got a "special edition" sitting on the other side of the fence. :confused:

To put it simply: Multiplatform does not necessarily mean less GC support. I could mean more "ports" or in their words "multiplatform support". Since RE4 isn't due till 2004 and the new consoles are expected to hit 2005. I'd rather they focus their efforts on the next next generation hardware. Hell, give us some good launch titles for once ;)

While you're at it why don't you ask Working Designs to release one game a year, or atleast one game on time.

Now you're really pushing it. :p

I guess this would suck if I didn't own all three consoles.

I think it is just talking about Resident Evil Online.

Meh. Most of their 3rd person action adventure games blow.

I guess it would suck if I didn't consider 90% of Capcom's current lineup to not be worth playing. I think All-Stars is the only game I'm interested in and even that isn't a must have for me.
