>
> 11:14 Rumours have been shuffling around the internet all weekend that
> Resident Evil 4 would be making the leap to Xbox, and like Ving Rhames in
> Dawn of the Dead Capcom have tried to stop it in its tracks by shooting it

> The flurry of speculation follows last week's announcement that Capcom would

> "exclusively" reported that the title would also be hitting Xbox around the

>
> The confirmation was allegedly made during a private conversation at our

> ourselves and can confirm that many shandies were being enjoyed and many
> tongues were subsequently being loosened.
>
> Nonetheless, we've spoken to Capcom this morning and they're standing firm
> with the official line: "At present we are focusing on completing the
> GameCube version and beginning development on the PS2 version. Whether

> It's clear where the rumours have come from. Capcom's initial announcement

>
> What's not clear is whether the rumour has any basis in hard fact or just

> have a huge catalogue of titles on Xbox and the console does not perform
> strongly enough in Japan to guarantee sales.
>
> But, just like the zombies that populate the Resident Evil series, it looks
> like this rumour will keep on relentlessly doing the rounds. As soon as more

> Capcom undecided on Resident Evil cross-platform strategy
> by Kristan Reed

>
>
> The news of Resident Evil 4's conversion to the PS2 threw up more questions
> than answers this morning; most obviously whether the end of its GameCube
> exclusivity deal would open the floodgates to the brand making a belated
> appearance on a slew of other platforms besides the PS2, as well as whether
> the previously GameCube-only Resident Evil Zero and Resident Evil Remake
> would also be making it onto other platforms.
>
> Chatting with Capcom Eurosoft's head of communications Ben Le Rougetel this
> morning it was clear that the whole Resident Evil situation remains
> tellingly up in the air. "Regarding a potential Xbox version [of Resident
> Evil 4], right now we are focusing on completing the GameCube version and
> beginning the development process on the PS2 version," he told Eurogamer.
>
> "A the decision to develop an Xbox version has not been confirmed," Le
> Rougetel added. Although the prospect of an Xbox version is frustratingly
> out of reach, there still remains the possibility, which will be of some
> comfort.
>
> "Regarding versions of Resident Evil Zero or Resident Evil Remake coming to
> other platforms," he said "it has not been decided if these two titles will
> appear on other hardware platforms." Again, neither confirmation nor denial.
> Make of that what you will.
>
> And finally: "Regarding bringing the series onto other platforms such as PSP
> or NDS, again, this has yet to be confirmed." Another non-committal
> statement, but reading between the lines, the lack of denials to any of
> these enquiries is the closest we have right now to one of the biggest
> franchises in gaming going fully cross platform.
>
> Capcom will certainly be aware of the benefits of cross platform releases,
> with SEGA having enjoyed huge success with Sonic Heroes this year, with the
> firm announcing its first European million-seller in years. Capcom will no
> doubt realise the same fruits are on offer if it can finally co-ordinate its
> Resident Evil release strategy once and for all.
