It was iconic in it's design no doubt but publishing for GameCube was a disaster for Capcom's Resident Evil franchise.
They released Resident Evil 4 on the GameCube and sold a total of 1.5 million copies. When they ported the game to the PS2 it sold a total of 8 million copies.
- georgemcbay 13y agoFinancially not so great for Capcom, but the GameCube version was far superior to the PS2 port, so as a gamer who considers Resident Evil 4 to be one of the finest single player action games of all time, I'm glad they went out on the GC first and ported later rather than having the PS2 version be a "least common denominator" regulator during initial development because most games that went that route just used shitty low-res PS2-friendly textures across the board.
- ChrisNorstrom 13y agoOh of course it was. But the director flipped at the thought of it being ported to the PS2 because of this.
- girvo 13y agoYes. But RE on the GCN was far superior to the PS2 ports in feel and look.
