Resident Evil 4 HD doesn't cost what Capcom said it would

Looking to pick up Resident Evil 4 'Now In HD' when you get home tonight? Well, if you're thinking about putting down some Microsoft Points on the horror shooter, we'd advise holding off until further clarification on the pricing comes in from Capcom.

Resident Evil 4 HD is currently sitting on Xbox Live Marketplace for £14.99 or 1840 Microsoft Points, slightly different to the £15.99/1600 MSP price point the publisher previously announced.

The whole points thing is so annoying, why can't they just use real currency.

Yi-Long5363d ago

... I DO mind Capcom's greed in asking for a whopping 20 euro/1840 MSP for a lazy port of an old game.

Marcello5363d ago

I paid 1680 points for it, i am in the Netherlands.

RBdrift5362d ago (Edited 5362d ago )

This is why people should get PS+. Also Resident evil 1,2,3 are available for free on PS+.

Mgs4isOverrated5362d ago

I'm getting for the PS+. More people should jump on the Playstation plus bandwagon. Capcom always gives us stuff.

Because with points they can rip off certain markets while advertising prices in a different currency.

They've been ripping off Canadian users since the launch of XBL. Even while CAD was higher than USD, Canadian point prices remained inflated compared to US. The same holds true in Europe using pounds.

Meanwhile the same content is usually available on PSN for the 'actual' advertised price in local currency, usually a few dollars cheaper than on XBLM as a result.

Blaze9295363d ago

Games on Demand games dont use MS Points...at least in the US. I paid straight $19.99 for my download

LightSamus5363d ago

Hit X on the buy now screen and it'll change it.

Blaze9295363d ago

how can you all disagree with facts? When you buy a Games on Demand title, you can either use points or pay the dollar amount.

wait wait wait......am i reading this right??? on the psn plus its 10.00 and on live its 20??

Mozilla895362d ago

That's right, but remember that's PSN+ not regular PSN. Capcom said that they worked with Sony to put up that discount, I guess MS wasn't willing to to do this?

Legion5362d ago

@onyoursistersback

Yes that is a temporary sale promotion between Sony and Capcom. Helping to promote PSN+.

KRUSSIDULL5362d ago

Blaze I disagree with you only because Games on Demand does offer MSP currency you just need to change it or press X where you are about to confirm your purchase. I was like you before and didnt know that. PS that Article is 2 years old so that could be when they only had real currency available.

Because MS is greedy, and Capcom is just as greedy.

Love the $10 price on PSN+

Honky Kong5362d ago

yep...
the game is a waste of money

M1chl5362d ago

Blame Microsoft for Capcoms game price.

n1kki65362d ago

Im making a huge assumption here, but I have two theories to the points system.

I mm guessing when they came up withe the points system, they may have been thinking about the potential of awarding points for in game achievements/milestones/contes ts. With hacking though the possibility.

or

They probably cash in huge on the left over $1 - $2 dollars that never get used.

alex33695362d ago

the second point makes more sense but i understand the first one too. when people have 100 or so points what should they do? BUY MORE! then they can spend those 100 points toward another purchase. your right!

BX815362d ago

LMAO @ everyone who says you should get PSN+ for this old game. There has to be a better reason to get PSN+ other than RES4HD.

Blaine5362d ago

I was one of the people who were most against PSN+ when the service was launched. I didn't think it was worth it at the time. But a lot has changed since then, and the service is very much worth it now.

Rebates on a large percentage of the games available on the PSN Store, free games, full game trials, automatic update downloads for your games, cloud game-saves, etc. The service is easily worth its price tag now, 10$ RE4 port or not.

BX815359d ago

Oh no doubt! I liked PSN when it was free. I see the potential in something like that. I just don't see HD versions of an old game being a reason to buy.

Title should specify that this article is for EU only.

gillri5363d ago

you'll find american articles like these tend to not to specifiy if its a dollar related article also

Ares84HU5363d ago

True, but that should specify it as well I think. Just my opinion though.

solidboss5363d ago

doesn't matter, whether its American related or European related it should specify the region in the title because the way the title is written is as though it were referring to all territories

SuperStrokey11235363d ago

Why? It has the currency right in the discription? I would think it would be obvious.

solidboss5363d ago (Edited 5363d ago )

looking through the n4g home page this is all that you see

"Looking to pick up Resident Evil 4 'Now In HD' when you get home tonight? Well, if you're thinkin... | Xbox 360"

your right the currency is in the description but you have to click the link before to notice that. as i stated above the region should be specified in the title period.

kramun5363d ago

Yes, clicking on that link and finding out it was about Europe must have hurt your poor little fingers, and wasted a few seconds of your life.

Such a shame they didn't specify in the title.

franko5363d ago

I'm trying to download it from US store and i cant because of STUPID region restriction or something. What a bunch of idiots! I'm trying to BUY IT, not steal it!

caseh5363d ago (Edited 5363d ago )

If you're in the UK or Europe thats because they know they can fleece us for an extra £5 or so for exactly the same game.

Sony policy:

'Lets charge $19.99 for the US market and £17.99 for the UK market because going by the Sony currency convertor thats a bloody bargain!'

*cry*

Lord_Sloth5363d ago

Yes. Let's blame Sony for a Capcom title's price.

ssb31735363d ago

So true... rip off britain

Dark_king5362d ago

I believe that your region has multiple languages on many of its games.That may be one reason you pay more not only would it be a bit larger download but thats extra work that Capcom nor Sony wants to pay.

milliways5363d ago

Reminds me of the Deadly Premonition port to XBL's Games on Demand earlier this year, where the price they were asking in the UK was £5 more than it was supposed to be.

noxeven5363d ago

Funny cause this game new sells for 9.99 even though im gonna buy im just saying lol

Take note, Sony, you're falling behind by a lot.

-Foxtrot62d ago (Edited 62d ago )

I was just going to say this, their biggest and top rated game here is TLOU2 for PC….it’s embarrassing.

Even Ubisoft and EA are ahead

Kind of surprised Nintendo is pretty low aswell, their biggest game is also a rerelease with the Switch 2 version of TotK.

StoneColdCrazy62d ago

That’s what happens when you start shutting down your own studios and forget what actually made you matter in the industry in the first place. Sony used to set the standard — now it feels like they’ve lost that identity. And if they decide to walk away from the PC market too, that’s going to be another huge mistake — that platform is only growing, and ignoring it now would just put them even further behind.

1Victor62d ago

@christopher:” Take note, Sony, you're falling behind by a lot.”
.
Why single out Sony? Microsoft didn’t do any better than the year before 5th same as Sony 9th and they have acquired activision and other mayor titles that have boosted their score massively from a 9th and Sony a 4th the year before the acquisitions.
Sony does need to do better without a doubt and I do hope they do take note but not the note of buying publishers is the way to succeed.

Christopher62d ago

1. Microsoft didn't get worse.
2. Sony got way worse.
3. Because Sony needs the criticism the most considering their publishing output this generation has been propped up by last gen ports and third-party developers for the most part.

thesoftware73062d ago

1Victor,

I don't wanna speak for Christopher, but like most of us we recognize that Sony's output this Gen has been way below their own standards.

Also Sony did buy a fair amount of Devs, I know you will say they were not publishers, and don't compare in size, but they had their fair share of Aquisitions, including the very well established Bungie.

The overall point is with their stellar first party track record of the past, they should not be going down, they are singled out because they are some of the best videogame devs/publisher on the planet...no matter what reasons we attribute to the situation, they are moving in the wrong direction... period.

62d ago
KyRo62d ago

Its widely accept that Sony this generation has been underwhelming. We've had more peripheral releases, controller variants, PS5 accessories than games it feels like. The exclusives were also PS4 and what little output they have put exclusively on PS5 is nowhere near as memorable as what came in every generation before that.

This isn't a Sony hate post but anyone who's older and has been around for a long time gaming will agree that PS5 is by far Sony's worst generation. As much as Xbox is in the gutter, I pray the do bounce back in the hope we get Sony to wake up again.

darthv7261d ago (Edited 61d ago )

If you want to critique MS... you are doing so towards their management. The games output and their hardware have been much better than PS this gen. Sadly... people still hold a grudge against XB because of MS. Thankfully i am not that petty... I've been enjoying their games output in the drought of PS. And add in some NS1/2 games as well to balance things out. Things will change for me once Wolverine hits, and I start using my 5 more. That one I'm looking forward to. And the Marvel fighter... I'm not a GTA player so that has no bearing on my view of things.

Big part of that has been the live service push resulting in cancellation or flop after flop but when they put out the games their fans want we get amazing stuff like astro bot

Leadership really screwed the pooch trend chasing

Well I apologize I was wrong about not doing worse but my statement of Microsoft getting a boost still stand 🤷🏿

62d ago
1Victor62d ago

Well OBSCURED unlike you I’m honorable enough to recognize when I’m wrong and apologize.
.
@ The software you know there’s no comparison between what Microsoft acquired and what Sony acquired that’s why you tried to get ahead of the conversation, yes we all know Sony can do better than what they have done this gen but they inhaled the poison GAS they thought would bring money for years but we make sure they got the message and quite a few games got cancelled you know as well a hit like that take years to be corrected and by now they hopefully will have taken steps away from the GAS and slowed their approach to them.

You will say anything when you are in denial that your hardware is dead and nobody wants your platform. Good luck with Helix because nobody will buy it.

But... but... the garbage-mongers always tell us that Square Enix is in trouble! 😂

Christopher62d ago

Square doesn't help that it fear mongers itself with ridiculous 'goals' that they can't reach and then they proclaim failure if they don't reach it. They're quite freaking profitable and people act like they're dying.

SimulationDaily62d ago (Edited 62d ago )

Keep in mind that these "proclamations" are usually third-hand bad translations from somedude who was at the investor conference, posted on Twitter, and picked up by press and youtubers like they were gold, and then when the official translation comes out, they're much softer statements, but at that point, the damage is done.

gold_drake62d ago

to be very fair

being number one on these things does not indicate how "well" their games do selling wise.

Capcom Insists It Won't Use AI-Generated Assets in Its Games, Will Harness Tech during Development

Capcom has clarified its current stance on generative AI in its videogames. The major Japanese publisher and developer behind popular series like Resident Evil, Street Fighter, and Monster Hunter has revealed that while it doesn't use gen-AI assets in their games, it is exploring ways to use generative AI to streamline the game development process.

Chocoburger63d ago

Using Artificial Intelligence (more like Realistic Stupidity) art assets in your games is a great way to get people to boycott your product. We don't need that ugly, unsophisticated, generic, fake art in our games, good on CAPCOM for not using that garbage.

blacktiger63d ago

Naw you can't fool us, You work with Nvidia, that's a fact! And here you wanted to advertise but now look stupid!
