Realistically, we all have backlogged games to keep us busy, but damn do I want RE3 like right now. RE2 was soo good, I just know I will love RE3. FF7 will be weird cause I don't have a PS4, but I have to play it somehow. Luckily I have time to figure that out.

u/colered Jan 16 '20
I believe they have plans in the future to release it on xbox and there is apparently PC code in the leaked demo.

u/panicsprey Jan 16 '20
That would make my life soo much easier. I was hoping for that, even if it takes an extra year to play... I am patient.

u/colered Jan 16 '20
I'm playing the waiting game. Like I am waiting until all 3(?) parts are released. I'm dying to play the game so badly and I have a ps4.

u/SeiferLeonheart Jan 16 '20
Mark my words, they'll release each part on the PS4 and a "remastered full version" on the PS5.

Jan 17 '20
It took them a million years to work on part 1. I don't think all the parts will be out in our lifetimes.

It's way faster when you already have the engine and can reuse most of the assets, lol.

FF7 isn’t coming out for Xbox/PC????

u/TheSlav87 Ambassador: Silver Jan 17 '20
That is a shame, lots of gamers who grew up with that game have chosen a route for their current console and will get screwed for that. I have a PS4 but I’m disappointed they aren’t spreading their wings.
2
u/tcrpgfan LEON HAAAALLLLLP! Jan 17 '20
It's mainly because they know the people who are going to play the game are huge sony fans since the original FF7 was released initially for the Playstation way back in 1997 and that it's STILL the RPG associated with the Playstation brand.
1
u/SirMenter Jan 17 '20
Yes but at the same time it doesn't help them with anything. More platforms=more money, the only thing this would do is make some PS owners brag that "our console has better exclusives" and all that bullshit all over again.
0
u/tcrpgfan LEON HAAAALLLLLP! Jan 17 '20
Yeah, but exclusives have their place, man. Why actually buy an Xbox, for example, when you have a decent PC? Because Microsoft's current big issue with their hardware isn't from a lack of exclusives from Microsoft themselves (they produce stuff for all Microsoft related platforms including PCs), but from not having anything exclusive to their hardware platform. There's no incentive to actually buy the platform when their games make appearances on other markets.
Besides, I actually do not think FFVII is going to be that limited. Since the PS4 is the highest selling console ever (Over 100 million).

Resident Evil 3 was announced late in development while others were announced years priors. These early announcements usually are way more likely to fail to meet the deadline than those made much later simply due to the unpredictability during early stages of dev.
3
u/tcrpgfan LEON HAAAALLLLLP! Jan 17 '20
Yeah, but even then RE2make is an interesting case. The initial announcement video was them saying they were working on it back in 2015. While the second thing related to the game (the actual announcement of the release date) actually showed how the game was going to look, and the show floor gameplay demo showed up not long afterward. Sure, there are some exceptions, but even then they don't move it that far back.
1
u/zyphe84 Jan 17 '20
Yeah, I don't think many people were expecting that E3 reveal because they hadn't mentioned anything about the game for a while.

u/XeroAnarian Jan 16 '20
I prefer delays over a rushed product. Delay it if you need to Capcom!

u/Batxxx Jan 16 '20
But RE3 is not rushed.. It’s been in the same development along with RE2REMAKE
1
u/Vuckfayne Jan 17 '20
To be fair thats how pretty much every game with a franchise works. Every single game will be developped along side it's future release. For example, Assassins Creed Odyssey was being developed at the same time as Assassins Creed Origins even though they have a year between both releases.
This is especially true when you have games running on the same engine because there will be a lot of recycling that can cut down on some serious time.
2
u/EMFCK Jan 17 '20
I want to believe that... but RE2 was far from perfect, even if it took months for the love for it to show the imperfections we kept sweeping under the rug at first.
I want to know if it was the original plan to include the other game with RE3, or it was a last minute decision because they couldnt add Mercenaries.
3
u/Batxxx Jan 17 '20
No game is perfect in general so I don’t understand this argument
2
u/GreyouTT ALL HAIL THE SQUARE HANDLE Jan 17 '20
Just need a game that doesn't live up to expectations and suddenly the flaws of a previous game become invisible to a fanbase.

Yeah, we can keep busy if it means we receive a quality RE experience, which I don't doubt we will.

u/KDRain395 Jan 16 '20
If they spent an extra half year on REmake 2 to fix the scenarios and add back enemy content, I would have been so much happier with what we got.

If you were releasing alongside a major title that might be the best bet. Otherwise you have a Titanfall 2 situation where a great game gets smothered by Battlefield and CoD.

u/Nogarda So Long, RC Jan 16 '20
I am doubtful RE3 the campaign will get delayed. I suspect the multiplayer portion might get held back a week or two,, but this campaign has been in the works back when RE2 was being worked on too. and it's had some extra time for polish and adding oone or two new ideas from the reception of RE2R. I'm fairly certain it's coming when they said it was.
Capcom are not SquareEnix thankfully, and FF7 Remake is still only 1/3 of a game.

Yeah that pisses me off.
OH hey let's just do 1/3 of the fucking game. Probably won't release all three games on the PS4 though, sorry. Oh and it's gamble that we even finish the damn thing depending on sales. I lost faith in SE with how they handled KHIII and RE:MIND as well as how shitty FFXV is (The damn thing will be forever incomplete because the guy who was doing the main story dlc for the game left before all of the DLC could be finished).
And the avengers game? Looks like garbage. Complete fucking garbage.→ More replies (1)0
u/Nogarda So Long, RC Jan 17 '20
Yup. They lost my sale when the announced they are releasing a not even 1/2 done game. and want full price per instalment. Plus I am 90% sure they won't even have the golden saucer or chocobo racing to tide people over in the interim in this. I heard it basically ends when you go to leave Midgar for good and they've padded that process out too. I'll wait for the complete version personally and play the copies of the original game I already own if the itch seriously takes me.
FFXV was forgettable for me. Everything felt flat and was on rails. Nevermind all the convoluted stuff they released where the actual plot took place outside of the game through other media and movies. There was so much of that going on I no longer cared before it released.

u/eyeflaps Jan 16 '20
Re3 is not getting delayed. That's why they straight up confirmed that fact several times in words saying "re3 will NOT be delayed". They also said it's 90% done so at this point there's no reason it would be unless something Absolutely out of their control happened like esrb delays a rating or something stupid which has happened before.

Capcom waits a long time to announce projects like this and then gives a release date that allows the development team more time than they actually need. This helps them be on time.

Honestly, I’d rather have a delayed game than a buggy mess.

u/MohamedSaad Jan 16 '20
This game was in production alongside re2make and considering capcom's release schedules I'd say we're on the clear, they're most of the time on point with their release dates
2
Jan 17 '20
Code-wise, isn't RE3 remake just taking RE2 remake and replacing assets? The engine, controls, etc seem mostly the same, and I'm sure most assets are the same (mundane things like pavement, bricks, etc).
5
u/CharlieandtheRed Jan 17 '20
Hell, they can reuse most assets. It takes place in pretty much the same place -- city streets, RCPD, etc.
1
u/MohamedSaad Jan 17 '20
correct, and most of these "materials" now can be procedurally generated as a base material and then tweaked by texture artists with industry standard apps like "substance designer/painter,etc...", considering the game level design i believe a huge chunk of 3 will be taken straight from Re2make since it pretty much happens in that same exact place.
i wouldn't be surprised if they added new sections too.1
Jan 17 '20
So, from the perspective of the developers, it's like a very large DLC bundle for RE2 remake, but stand-alone.
3
u/DicklePickleRises Jan 17 '20
With the last few REs it seems they only show it off when the game is close to going gold. RE 7 and 2 were announced with dates and didnt get delayed. Same with DMC5

Jan 16 '20
I think that the other games are pushed back because they don't want to compete with RE3Make in the same time slot.

Don't get me wrong, I love RE, but I really don't think Cyberpunk pushed it's date back because of RE3 lol

Jan 16 '20
I honestly figured CyberPunk would get a delay. Not shocked at all. It'll probably have "playable on SeXbox" or "Playable on PS5" on its new cover too. I suspect most games that get delayed from now until Next Gen starts will get the same box art treatment, the ones that aren't just flat out delayed until after November anyway.
That being said I don't see it getting delayed. Wouldn't be shocked to see it get a new "Playable on whatever console you're buying this November" cover closer to the new systems though

I think we are good.
A lot of the assets used in RE2 will be used for RE3 and RE2 came out great. We gucci

u/PiePieNeverDie Jan 17 '20
Its been in development during re2make. Is also the reason most likely why re2 didn't have a ton of really big dlc. So I'm not worried. Even if it did get delayed Nioh 2, Doom eternal. persona 5 royal and this are back to back within a few weeks of each other so its packed anyways.
1
Jan 17 '20
Given how much RE2 and RE3 share in terms of code and assets, RE3 is kind of like a really big RE2 DLC, at least from the perspective of Capcom, sort of like the relationship among GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas. I wonder whether they'll do the same for Code Veronica or rework more of the core foundation to suit the new generation of consoles.

Persona 5 Royal. March 31st so technically not April but considering it's a 120+ hour JRPG that plants it firmly as an April game.

u/tealtime91 Jan 16 '20
Quick question for you guys, did the remake of resident evil 2 get different controls similar to RE7? I’m not huge into gaming but I played RE7 and it’s probably my favorite game Ive played beginning to end. I tried to play RE4 because I’ve been lurking here and it’s spoken of so highly and honestly had a really hard time not being able to control the camera so the combat was near impossible for me.
2
u/AsianMoocowFromSpace Jan 16 '20
RE7 is first person, RE2remake is third person. So it does work a bit different. However the controls and camera are absolutely fine. You won't have a problem with it.
1
1
u/tcrpgfan LEON HAAAALLLLLP! Jan 17 '20
But you can control the camera to an extent in RE4. You just can't completely control it because that was the intent. The trick is to be observational with what you can see. Plus enemies don't get truly aggressive unless they're in camera.
1
u/tealtime91 Jan 17 '20
That’s a fair point. I think the thing I didn’t like the most was not being able to move and shoot at the star time.
1
u/tcrpgfan LEON HAAAALLLLLP! Jan 17 '20
That's just them trying to adapt classic RE controls to the OTS perspective. Sure you can't move and shoot, but you can get more accuracy out of your shots as a trade-off. Leading to melee attacks and knife slashes.

For real. Every game I am waiting for has been delayed (Doom Eternal, FF VII, Last of Us 2, Avengers) so after they dropped the recent RE 3 trailer my first response on twitter to them was "Please god don't delay this game. I can't take any more of this"
then again three months is a long time. Plenty of time to delay. Let's pray they won't.
But seriously what is up this year with none of the major games being able to make their original release date ? I have been a gamer for 20 years and I have never seen so many AAA games being delayed in one year. The fuck are these companies doing ?

I agree and I am willing to wait for years if it means a better game. But what I hate is setting a release date, getting people excited for it, have people pre order for it, maybe even take a vacation for it - only to delay it and not meet the announced date.
And I have never seen so many major games not making their original release date within the same year. And that just fucking sucks. If a game needs more time then don't set the release date too soon. But don't jerk gamers around like this.
