None of this matters to me because, imo, Resident Evil died when Capcom invented a new IP and slapped RE4 on it. I won't be paying attention to that franchise again until it plays like the original games (RE-RE CV).

Which is probably never.

Well, you probably know it, but RE7 is much closer to RE1. I hated 4, played few of 5, even lower of 6... loved 1-3+veronica... and liked RE7 a lot.

Forever ? Why ? 

I like to own my games. That is why I will buy console games physical and not digital if possible. I do make an exception with games on PC due to steam.

Well if you buy on steam, this is similar concept instead of paying 60 USD you are paying 1/3 of it but will have it rented for 180 days. Not the best option, but is valid.

Great idea pricing is a bit high tho. This is also what microsoft envisioned with the cloud.

Btw those that complain about bad internet probably live in the outback of australia on 56k, this is japan first they wont have any issues

I don't think it is high, 1/3 of normal release price.

Since I don't think they would be able to make a good port of RE7 to Switch this is better than nothing. But let's bash Capcom, why not?

Ok, and why?  What, pray tell, is there to this game that would make a port so impossible?  The game isn't that demmanding, runs 1080p 60fps on Xbone, and is highly scalable anyway to accommodate VR.  And it's not even close to the likes of Doom and Wolfenstein 2.  It could come to Switch in a very playable and quality form.  That would just entail work.  Something Capcom has been completely unwilling to put in on Switch.  And even their easy ports come with loads of unneeded asterisks.  

I didn't say a port would be impossible, I said I think they wouldn't make a GOOD port.

Running at 1080p60fps and cutting to 720p30fps would still need some more cuts. And considering the visuals of the game aren't that impressive, the cut on the other areas would probably make an ugly version.

Every company refuses to put money above what they will get in return.

Because it's easier to always blame and bash Nintendo. 

Nintendo is the sole responsible for their HW and relationship with 3rd parties. Want to blame MS for it?

Capcom doesn't need Nintendo to survive, at all. The way they're treating the Switch is pretty infuriating, but let's not kid ourselves. 

I'm wondering how the hell Nintendo is letting this abomination exist.

Don't overestimate the effect that MHW had. Don't get me wrong, it was a great success for Capcom, and they should never go back to being Nintendo-only or handheld-only, but for every MHW there were a SFV and Capcom vs Marvel disaster. 

Meanwhile, on Nintendo platforms, they always had great success (MH on handhelds) or mild, profitable successes like RE on Switch, Phoenix Wright games, etc. Basically Nintendo is very risk averse for them, and they would be stupid to turn their backs on them, which is exactly what they are doing.

I'm having a hard time getting what SFV or CvM have to do with MHW... do you think SFV would do better as Nintendo game?

Its baffling how many miss the fact aside it being a port, how groundbreaking this is. This could mean the end of hardware cycles as we know it if this works well.

This and not owning the game are my bad points on the subject.
