Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Rumor: Resident Evil: Downfall set for 3DS

sepoer on 10 May 2012

Sometime I want to see RE games on Vita, but I don't have Vita :(
If this is true, I would love to spend my money and time for RE games again. I already played Rev for 92 hours!

3rd game for 3DS, how about a Vita game already? Not to mention they announced a PSP version years ago at E3 that faded away (probably became 3DS game).


LOL...probably because the PSV is selling so badly(less than 2M sold after 6 months of an official release); Capcom is hesitant to bring the game to the system.  Even if the attach rate is 10-15% (very high for a RE game) the game will only sell 190K-250K barely enough to make up for the investment making the game.

With that logic nobody would make any games on any console before the second year. 3DS was in a similar situation when Capcom released The Mercenaries. 

There is such a lack of competition on PSV right now it would make sense to at least port one of these games over. Attach rates are always much higher with big titles near the release of any device.

Except that succesful consoles don't sell less than 2M units after 6 months of being on sale.  Look at UC:GA and you'll see that it only sold 500K despite being the PSV biggest game!!!  A full fledge RE game will not sell more than 200K units and barely make the effort meaningful for Capcom.

Hmm, IF this rumor is true, that could mean Capcom want to build a RE-fanbase on 3DS. That would be good for them to later in this gen sell RE on this platform. Probably as they made the deal on MH4, they made the decision not to split the fanbase among handheld-consoles.

Well, in a way, after 2 games, the structure is ready. Plus, they'll be building some portable fan-base. But I agree, this is nothing more than a rumor, so 95% of being untrue.

Doesn't need to be a full fledged game, could be a DS port for all I care - just give it something. It would definitely sell more than 200k, I can tell you that for a fact.

I doubt it man.  Besides the fact that the PSV's future is uncertain; most of the PSV top 10 games barely passes 130K mark!!!  The only one that did is Uncharted Golden Abyss and that only manage to sell 500K despite the bundles and such.  It's so sad because Sony was hoping to sell at the very least 2.5M PSV BEFORE March 2012(meaning in Japan only) but it hasn't even sold 2M world wide approaching this mid May.

Golden Abyss hasn't been bundled. We're pretty off topic now, but Resident Evil is a bigger brandname than Uncharted. Not saying it would outsell Uncharted, but when you are the biggest title on any system you will have sustained sales for a long time.
