Capcom – ‘Resi will be budget’

Alarmist reports rubbished by Japanese giant.

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.
