Resident Evil 4 coming to PS2

No_Style · Nov 1, 2004, 04:43 AM

Capcom announced today that the long-awaited follow-up to its popular survival horror franchise, originally planned to appear only on the GameCube console, is also headed to Sony's PlayStation2.

The PS2 version of Resident Evil 4 is currently slated to be released at the end of 2005 in Japan, the US, and Europe. The GameCube version is still scheduled for a January 2005 release in the US and Japan, followed by a spring release in Europe.

In a statement released today, Capcom said that the decision to make Resident Evil 4 go cross-platform was based on requests from fans worldwide, market considerations, and shareholder requests. The statement made mention of the fact that each version of the game will be developed to take advantage of the strengths of the respective platform.

Seriously though, the GC version looks great, I'm worried what will happen in the translation to the PS2 though...

good choice for capcom, they are returning to the true roots of resident evil and that is the playstation which created the series.

gamecube does it great, but the limited controls are quite frustrating AND GOD I HOPE THEY DITCH THE ANNOYING CONTROL SCHEME. i don't think anyone wants it to stay since some think its an annoying trademark

edit- another playstation franchise taken by another console. lets just wait for tekken to go now too huh? don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against nintendo remaking the game but forgetting it's original version (these are RE 1-3) are playstation remakes which it often overlooks.
