Resident Evil 5 Aims For Multi-Console Launch
Gamespot is reporting that Capcom is aiming for a launch on the PS3 and 360 at the same time, for the next chapter in the Resident Evil series. From the article: "In an interview published in Xbox360ism (a special edition of Dorimaga), Capcom Research & Development division chief Keiji Inafune said he expects Resident Evil 5 to be released simultaneously on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 if possible. 'We want to grow the Resident Evil series into a multi-platform franchise, so we hope to release it simultaneously [on the two next-generation consoles],' Inafune told Xbox360ism. 'But since we don't know the launch period for the PS3 yet, so it's hard to say [if we can].'"
first you started to release the RE series on the PSX, and all was ok.. Then, you moved over to the GC
Well, you forgot the Dreamcast in there... Capcom released RE 2, 3, and Code Veronica for the DC. In fact, Code Veronica was originally a Dreamcast exclusive until they made PS2 and GC ports... so this isn't the first time Capcom has jumped a so-called exclusive title to another platform.
