Capcom explains western digi-release for Resident Evil Survival Selection

Capcom is hoping that opting for digital releases of both Resident Evil 4 and Code Veronica X will lower the entry point for consumers.

What....so we have to download it.

Urgh, I hate downloading things, especialy a big looking file like RE4/CVX. I think your going to see Capcom that it's not going to "reach" more people because...

1) People don't like to waste space on their 360/PS3
2) People don't like downloading big files
3) People don't like downloading all together
4) People don't have enough free space for it

I think there only doing it because their going to beneift doing it as a digital release some way. I was going to get to this but thanks Capcom you've made my mind up for me.

Alos885433d ago

They're doing it to lower the price.

dgonza405433d ago

how much could it really cost?
i'd prefer physical media and pay a little more.

StanSmith5433d ago (Edited 5433d ago )

They're doing it for other reasons. Where the hell they thought they could charge £35 ($50) for these two old games on disc i'll never know. I paid a maximum of £20 ($40) for the other HD collections that i own.

Now they're digital only, they'll be lucky to get £7.99 per game out of me. Once again Capcom prove how out of touch they are!

*Edit*
Also, how do they work out that by having digital releases they'll reach more people? Not everyone has their consoles signed up to Live and PSN.

In other words, they are ripping of Japanese consumers. Well, it is a free market! ...sort of.

I used to frown upon digital, because it kills almost any real competition on the same game i.e. retailer discounts or even clearance, but I have gotten so used to it that I almost prefer it. No disc to loose or scratch, but I can't lend it to a friend either.

@MARIOFTW:

I believe the price points give them a wider reach. Also, the game will stand on the "digital" shelf longer and be more accessible to immediate purchase.

Nodoze5433d ago

Wow is Capcom out of touch this generation. First, NOBODY would pay 50 dollars for two older updated releases. 39.99 is about the max the market will support. Consider that people can pickup Res Evil4 for Wii for around 10 bux. Granted it is not in HD, but that is not the point.

I would have bought this in disc...as a download I am not interested. ESPECIALLY with what I know will be an inflated asking price.

Capcom F's up another release. Great going guys.

StanSmith5433d ago

I bet there will be an inflated price plus DRM attached where you will be only able to play them when signed into a PSN or Live account.

Unless they are really cheap then i'll stick to my Wii copy of Resi 4. Perhaps it'll look better on WiiU too.

trainsinrdr5433d ago

So no retail release? ah well sure what can ye do

paradigmfellow5432d ago

Import the Japanese version and not buy the western version to send a message.

malamdra5433d ago (Edited 5433d ago )

the hell with this, I'll import the asian version if it has english

on the other hand I have no interest in Code Veronica, so if I can buy RE4 only for less then it might be OK, also the file should be around 4 gb, not that big

GamersXTREME5433d ago

I'm right there with you...I hate not having an actual box for my games...

hiptanaka5433d ago

Does this version only have one save, too?

wtf, good thing I already played and finished the game when it came out

walken7100d ago

Once again hurting the people who purchase and support the game. Meanwhile pirates get the best version. Pathetic.

PRIMORDUS99d ago

There is already someone or a group called voices38, that has been cracking Denuvo games lately. Not the newest games, but getting there.

PRIMORDUS99d ago

I wonder if the pirated copies run better like this one titled here: "Resident Evil 4: Remake - Gold Edition (No Denuvo) (v1.5.0.0 + All DLCs + Bonus Content + MULTi14) (From 50 GB)"

Furesis99d ago

i don't think so? as far as i know even pirated version have denuvo or whatever runing in the background, they just trick it to say that yes this is a legit copy or just skip that process, but im not 100% sure. regardless this is an endless battle where legit consumer "suffer" sometimes. it's not that big of a deal MOST of the times and i understand publishers not wanting people to get access to their games for FREE so, i cant blame them honestly. i do find it odd that they wouldn't just remove DRM completely considering most people already played it? not like they are getting more sales anymore, just lower the price remove DRM but i guess thats why they still have it because they dont want to lower the price. oh well

1nsomniac99d ago (Edited 99d ago )

A perfectly acceptable excuse to pirate the game.

Why would you accept to pay for the game in order for it to install software you don’t want with the intention to make your playing experience worse. Paying for that would be the very definition of stupid.

I’m not against DRM but if it negatively effects a product you’re paying for. Then it’s on them not you.

You know I would have liked this if it was added on for free. A nice substitute for Assignment Ada.
