The whole RE Gamecube deal was probably the most retarded business decision Capcom's ever made.

The PS2 version comes out at the end of 2005 while the GCN version comes out January 2005. I don't see why the GCN people are freaking out. By the time the PS2 version gets released, most people won't even care about the damn game.

Agreed on both counts. It's not like Capcom has suddenly cancelled the GameCube version at the last minute and is forcing players to wait for the other console's version (*cough* Sega *cough*).

Anyway, it's easy to blame the series' decline in popularity on the transition from PlayStation to GameCube, but let be honest. Outside of the crappy Outbreak and Survivor spinoffs, the last two games in the series were a remake of the original game and a cancelled N64 prequel that would've been better off remaining that way. It's been more than four years since the last true sequel (Code: Veronica, not Nemesis) was released.

WTF is the point of bringing out a game that is clearly designed to work best on XBox and GC? If they keep the polygon count, etc for the PS2 version then it's going to have slowdown and take forever to load. Making an XBox version instead would be better performance wise..

Dolla Dolla Bills Y'all.

Thats it. Cash, Denerio, Duckets, Moolah, Greenbacks, Chedda...

Its about putting the game out for the biggest userbase.

3rd Party exclusives suck for fans, but really suck for publishers when your on the 3rd place console.

They only way we will ever see a XBox version is if the port will be cheap, and they could sell a bunch to justify cost. In otherwords, not likely.

What's with all the Nemesis hate? I love that game.

what's really amazing about this announcement is that it was made before the gamecube release. nintendo = pwned. again.

veiwtuful Joe has just as much potential to be as great as RE was. Really capcom has gone down. they killed their mascot more than sega did. They refused to make games for anyone besies Sony(until these past few years) and unlike Nintendo are not letting western developers make games for them.

Nintendo tries everything to get mature gamers. What the hell would you do next? Everyone bitchin that their to kiddy but here they are showing really mature games and no one notices. Anti-nintendo are blind to the truth.

they put RE on the Cube praying for sales and it didn't happen. Sales for Re hav gone down since RE2 and never touched the place theyonce were at it the first RE. Konami remake sold. Square Enix made 2 games that both sold pretty well Soul Calibur 2 sold best on the cube. Looking at those examples shows that any 3rd party developer can have a game running on the cibe that will sell as long as it is good.
