Resident Evil: Revelaitons (3DS, PS3, 360, PC, Wii U, Wonderswan, MSX)

[Yoshi]

I played through Episodes 10 and 11 tonight, but my hands started to cramp, so I had to call it quits on the last damn episode!

[Hero]

Man, fuck that last boss (anyone up for RAID mode later tonight?

[Yoshi]

Looks like we need a mod to add PS3 and 360 to the title. And, thus, the 3DS library takes a crushing blow. Vita version too please.

[Andrew]

A crushing blow? So all 3DS versions of the game will magically stop working?

[Yoshi]

Exclusives and best versions are all that really matter. Which one will the 3DS version be?

[Andrew]

Even if we assume the console versions are 3D, it still doesn't matter. Most people who wanted to play this so badly that they would buy a 3DS to do so would have done so over the course of the past year. It's not a hardware mover anymore. Capcom might sell a few more for consoles and a few less for 3DS, but I don't see the "crushing blow."

[Yoshi]

I'm not a shareholder, so I don't care about unit sales. The 3DS isn't exactly loaded with third party games, especially ones that aren't RPGs, so it could use to keep some exclusives.

It's inevitable a Res Evil would go multi-platform. Because I can get Final Fantasy Tactics on iPad doesn't diminish it's existence on PSP. And to use Yosh's own logic, a plate full of cross-buy ports and console remixed fare doesn't equal exclusives and best versions on Vita.

[Yoshi]

That's almost exactly right. Cross Buy is a different animal though, because it essentially makes the PS3 and Vita versions combined, which will often make the combination the best version by definition, especially when it's Cross Play too. It's hard to beat the ability to play the same game with the same saves at home and on the road for one price. But to your point, if Golden Abyss gets announced for PS3 without save transferring, it would indeed nail the Vita's library in the same way.

I just ordered this from Amazon for 18 bucks.
