Resident Evil 4
Being ported over to the evil PS2...

It has been a point that has been discussed at great length, and it has always seemed like just a pipe-dream on behalf of Sony fanatics, but due to increasing pressure (and more obviously a lot more money) Capcom have been 'forced' to post Resident Evil 4 over to the PS2, removing it's much touted GC exclusivity.

One thing to brighten your spirits, whilst the title will release in Japan on the 27th January 2005 and the USA on the 11th of the Month and Europe getting 'Spring' still on their press release, the PS2 will have to wait until the end of 2005.

Basically this is a money decision, Capcom may spruce it up with other reasons but it is hugely obvious that a title as expensive and development-demanding as Resident Evil 4 will not make a significant profit on the GameCube, put it on the PS2 as well, though...

Obviously though, it can't be a direct port. Resident Evil 4 is a hugely demanding title in technological terms, something that the PS2 simply can't support. So expect the port to be more of a conversion. Discuss and express your views below, or in the forum topic here.
