Capcom: 'no plans for RE4 on 360 or PS3 at this time'

It didn't take very long for the rumor about the Resident Evil 4 Classic Edition coming to the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 to be debunked. If you remember yesterday's post, we were able to find a snapshot of a supposed RE4 cover art made for the Xbox 360 and PS3. However, it looks like that the rumor was nothing more than another elaborate prank to kick off the season.

According to a post found on the Capcom Unity forums, Capcom's Vice-President of Strategic Planning and Business Development Christian Svensson flat out denied any plans of delivering RE4 to either of the next-gen consoles. This statement was made in response to a question posed by forum poster Sunglasses At Midnight regarding the rumored port of the game.

Svensson was quoted to have said that there were "no plans for RE4 on 360 or PS3 at this time". In addition, he answered another question regarding any possible graphical restyling and new features the rumored port was supposed to have by simply stating that "that's what RE5 [Resident Evil 5] is for".

This was further supported by another Capcom spokesman who mentioned that Capcom had no artists that work in development in San Francisco, as previously stated by yesterday's rumor. Here's the light-hearted quote made by the spokesman regarding the matter: "Wow. Really? We work in San Francisco? I didn't know that. Why does my business card say we're in San Mateo? Darn it, I need to get it updated".

I guess this means that everyone will just have to gird their loins and wait for the arrival of Resident Evil 5 (PS3 and Xbox 360) and stave off their disappointment in the meantime. No worries, though. We'll be sure to keep everyone updated should we get any new information regarding Capcom's Resident Evil series.

I'm actually surprised Capcom even bothered debunking that one.

I don't really mind. Even though I would have given it a go, I already beat this game on four different formats.

# lol @ scarface_the_se cond — ncsleet 2008-03-26 06:45

you spent that long playing such a dreadful game?

i got the PC version and uninstalled it after playing for 10 minutes.

absolutely terrible.

a disgrace to the resident evil series.

i hope re5 is better.

# lol — platon 2008-03-26 07:44

So poor us x360/ps3 owners will have to play only with RE5 while the proud wii owners will be able to play the old RE4? I'm so sad! lol.

I'll play RE5 instead, lol. I already finished RE4 on GC (I bought it only for the game, lol. I bought 3 games total for my GC).

# In all fairness — GantzSensei 2008-03-26 07:52

The PC version sucked it completely watered down RE4, play it on a console, and I assure you, you'll see why everyone likes it so much. I love the RE series and obviously RE4, it was great on the GameCube, and PS2, PC (

# Okay so I got cut off — GantzSensei 2008-03-26 07:54

So just to clear that last bit up I said PC version of RE4+crap, and I've yet to play the Wii version so I cannot speak for it.

# wow.. — Azrael_666 2008-03-26 07:59

this game was phenomenal. i would love to see a version for ps3/360, with upped graphics and extra stuff. i would pay $60 for it. and @ ncsleet, you got the crappy pc port. the gamecube version and the wii version were the best versions of the game. get one of those. they're worth the money. re4 for pc was watered down to the max, losing alot of graphical effects in the port. i'm gonna get re5 when it comes out, but i'd love to see a version for ps3/360.

# Lies!!!!! — TheRockness 2008-03-26 08:47

Lies I tell you!!!

# yeah dude — scarface_tha_second 2008-03-26 10:27

You played the game's worse version first. This game is the best I've played in years. The Wii version is the best obviously because of the motion sensitivity. It also comes with all of the PS2 extras that the Cube version did not have.

# LOL PC VERSION — whaleshark 2008-03-26 12:55

sucked ass. the gamecube version WAS AMAZING. the graphics were beautiful, and still are.

# ummm.... — BlacKDraGoN_ 2008-03-27 01:44

hey dumb dumb

just pop the ps2 into ur ps3 system...problem solved.

there is no point in them spending money to simply make the graphics better in a ps3 or hopefully never a 360 port

# typo — BlacKDraGoN_ 2008-03-27 01:47

the ps2 version of RE4*

not the ps2.

thats something someone reading it could obviously figure was a typo and still get the idea but some people are retarded
