Speaking out against reports surfacing yesterday, Capcom today told us that Resident Evils 2 and 3 will be budget priced for the European market, when they are released for GameCube later this year.
“We are absolutely sure that the games will be budget priced over here,” a Capcom spokesman told us today. “As ever with a firm of this nature, we are waiting for confirmation from Japan, but we are expecting a reduced-price product.”
Indeed, the tales doing the rounds yesterday were wrong in more ways than one. Most reporting the “news” stated that Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 for GameCube are direct ports from the PSone versions – completely wrong.
Resi 2 is taken from the Nintendo 64 code and Resi 3 is ported across from Dreamcast.
Just goes to show, don’t believe everything you read.
