| S.Peelman said: Not really arguing this, but personally I think that should be an extra incentive for Capcom to actually make a second Resident Evil game for 3DS. Revelations was extremely well recieved. If they didn't make the money they wanted off it because development was expensive (it didn't sell poorly in any case; is the best selling portable game in the franchise), they actually should make a second game but completely use the first game's assets and engine. Such a game would be very low-budget and could get them the money they wanted as the second game would easily be profitable. I think a second game could sell close to Revelations at least. I know I'd buy a follow-up. RE: Revelations was the Game of the Year 2012 for me Also, to your other post, I agree RE beats 'IronFall' hands down in 'looks'. The art-direction on RE is naturally way better, compared to this generic looking indie-game. That doesn't mean I'm not impressed though, on the contrary. And it's just a tech-demo |

I was going to say "what other Resident Evil games have been on handhelds?" but then I remembered Resident Evil Gaiden, which unfortunately we have 0 sales data for -_-
Regardless, I do see your point. With the pre-existing assets already there it'd be much cheaper to make a follow up than it would the original. Whether that means bigger sales or not, however, is kind of debateable.
I guess we'll have to see. I don't think the rumour Kaizar was referring to has much substance to it, though.
