This year the Resident Evil series turns 20 and to mark the occasion Capcom will be doing what Capcom do best, yes that’s right, they’re re-releasing the forth, fifth and sixth instalments of the series on the PlayStation 4 And Xbox One. No major changes will be madd to the games and each will set you back either $19.99, €19.99 or £15.99 depending on where you are in the world. Oh, and the 3 game will only be receiving physical releases in North America, everyone else will have to make do with digital.
More Evil.

This twentieth anniversary is less cute than the Pokemon one.
I wish they’d do something proper for the anniversary, these re-releases do nothing for me.
It’s interesting how Capcom handles the physical releases of their games. I’m a little surprised they chose not to have physical copies in their own country; I heard Japanese gamers prefer them to digital distribution services such as Steam.
Japan has not embraced digital at all yet but I don’t think physical copies would boost sales all that much anyway.
Capcom…..Please stop…..PLEASE!!!!! Give your titles six extra months for development! If you rerelease, add some stuff in, like RE 0 and the Remake. (We thought you couldn’t do it, but YOU DID, so it’s possible!!) Resident Evil fans are DEDICATED to every release! Your burning all of your fans with partial products! (FYI, this just fell on deaf ears…..FML)
Resident Evil fans really are die hards and Capcom have been taking advantage of the for awhile now. I do think the Resident Evil 2 remake could break the franchise though, if it don’t meet expectations that just might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
It’s a make or break on that one, fully agree.
