Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles was a hit and it cost Capcom almost nothing to make. They Reused assets from previous games.

Resident Evil Dark Side Chronicles is on it's way to being a hit and again it cost Capcom almost nothing. Reused  assets from other games and the previous light gun game, Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles.

 

 

Sorry but what you say about Darkside Chronicles is false.

 

Umbrella Chronicles used the 3D areas they created for REmake/RE0 backgrounds, the RE3 section used areas from the Outbreak games (which is why no real RE3 areas).

 

Darkside Chronicles had nothing to steal on such a level, certainly not the CV areas since the game was designed with a completely different graphic style which is probably why many of the CV areas of DSC aren't in the original game at all and/or are different tot he originals, I guess was easier just making them up than copying them.  Aside from very few RPD areas most of the RE2 sections would have needed be made from scratch also since unlike REmake/0 no 3D areas were created for backgrounds for that game.  Most of the DSC character models would have needed be made from scratch also since could not borrow them from any GC games.

 

Besides DSC kind of bombed in comparison, UC kept a high price for a good while yet DSC price dropped almost immediatly, tracking well below what UC did too even with the lower price.

That's not true, RE:DC hasn't dropped in price significantly in the US or Japan for sure.  I can't speak for Europe, maybe someone else can.  The first 500k+ were almost certainly sold by capcom at full price.  At this point in the US Capcom had clearly lowered the price of RE:UC, most places were selling it at $30, I dont' see anything to indicate they have done that with RE:DC yet.  It's

edit: lol, that's right it was only released in '10 in Japan.  Forgot about that.
