Resident Evil 4 Classic Edition for PS3/Xbox 360?
Sketchy details emerged early last week about the possibility of yet another version of Resident Evil 4 being readied for the marketplace. Following the success of the game on the GameCube, PlayStation 2, PC and Wii, if the source was to be believed then there is yet another iteration in the works for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, called ‘Resident Evil 4: Classic Edition’. But is this truth or nothing more than an elaborate April Fools’ joke?
According to website ‘The Horror is Alive’, this is definitely the truth and nothing but the truth, with Capcom eager to squeeze even more sales out of the highly rated entry into the popular Resident Evil franchise. But rather than merely porting any of the previous editions, it seems Capcom will be pouring even more than before into this next generation update. The original entry on the website states:
“I was sent this goody by a friend who works at Capcom’s San Fransisco building. He spied an artist working on what appeared to be boxart for an upcoming port of Resident Evil 4 for the XBOX 360 and PS3 entitled “Resident Evil 4 Classic Edition”. Details are sketchy, but from what my contact could gather, the game will feature Hunk more than before. When pressed further, they said Hunk would be getting his own story-campaign, similar to Ada’s Separate Ways scenario in the PS2/PC/Wii versions. I’m attempting to get direct captures of the boxart, and not a quick cellphone grab but this will have to do for now. We’ll have more to report on this in the coming days!”
The picture of the PlayStation 3 box art can be seen in this article and more at the source. It seems that, if true, we will be hearing more details about the game in the very near future as the planned release is indeed 2008, most likely to bring some of the Resident Evil fanbase over to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in preparation for the release of Resident Evil 5 in 2009.
However, when asked “Are there any plans for the future to port RE4 on Xbox360 and PS3? Maybe with graphic restyling (720p) and new features…” over on Capcom’s Official Website, the response was thus:
That is what Resident Evil 5 is for. No plans for RE4 on 360 or PS3 at this time.

The Horror is Alive, though, insists that something is indeed in the works, and has now provided the following two video clips of the supposed game in action. Check them out below:

But what are your thoughts on the matter? Could this indeed be real or just a hoax to get people’s hopes up for no reason? Be sure to air your opinions by posting below and stick around for more updates…
I sure hope so. I played RE 4 on a borrowed playstation and loved every minute of it. Since then I’ve switched over to Xbox 360 and have been dreaming of the day when I could play it on my own console.
RE4 is one of my favourite games ever. But I wish they’d stop trying to squeeze every penny out of it. I’d love to play the “new” level with Hunk (that’s a section on the Island in the main game) but I don’t wanna have to play the game again. Although it is fantastic. highly recommend to anyone that hasn’t played this game yet (both of you!)
ps3 aint got games
erm.. ok… that’s a little weird and a bit off subject
go and fix someones toilet you illegal mexican nigger
You really are a cock
that was racist
I certainly hope this is true, I’ve never played any resident evil game (apart from wrestling with the controls of REmake for 15 minutes) and would love to have the opportunity to play this on my shiny 360
OMFG!! I really do hope that this can come out, I have a PS3 and I would love to have this insane game and specially with blu-ray, sure hope this isn’t a lie and could really come out, I might just well pray for it, lol!!
the ps3 sucks too much cock… this is the old version of the PC version… duh i know it because there is a mod running around for the original RE4 PC… fake… get a wii
Wiis blow unless you kmow like 50 people and they are over everyday Plus the multiplayer blows because the mic only wokrs for certain games and its just simply shit you should get a Xbox 360 on a ps2, The ps3 also blows Because blu-ray Takes more time to load and it actually has rendering issues While ingame if u actually look the textures and lighting is all fucked up so the best syetsm right now are xbox 360 and ps2
Fake, not hard to tell, just a mod for the PC version
They should do a resident evil collection, 1 through to 4 and all the other little sub games like code veronica. They won’t of course but the last resi i played was 3, and i loved it!!!
wow..i hope this comes out:]..i love re4..i had it on my ps2 but it broke and then i got a 360..and ever since i wanted re4 on 360:]
I hope it does come out but, i dont think it wont, any way the two videos that are showed are played for a gamecube as u can see when ‘Hunk’ walks up to something he can pick up it says ‘Press’ ‘A’ to take.This is the only one that looks like PS3-X-box 360 graphics wise, http://www.youtube.com/wa...ENzEo&feature=related after you watch this one or two of the videos you decide for yourself does it look like PS3 or X-box 360 or graphics or not for myself i think it does. So you decide.
Thanks for the oppurtunity for helping all of you out there that love Resident Evil.
lol guy playing is a n00b!
Let me tell you that this is all a hoax. I went around the site that posted this and they confirmed that this is false. It’s the Gamecube version.
chadwardenn, yo s**tface when you know s**t chew on that s**t f**kface lmao
REdude, another ghey who knows s**t, f**k morrons such as yourself should go, and clean… like that fag said “clean someone’s toilet…” lmao Core 2 Quad is almost at = w/ Cell CPU [PS’s 3 CPU if your s**tface didn’t know] and what you said about “Old version of PC” fag go to CompUSA and upgrade your stupid s**t ass Pentium 2 w/ 300Mhz to Core2 Duo LMAO…
p.s. type all you want, but the turth won’t be changed, you 2 are fags and you’ll stay the fags ’till the day, the worms will feast on your f**king bones LMAO
it’s a fake. if they were going to do it, they would have done it by now. With RE5 coming in march, they won’t release this in january. It’s a bit too fine a wire if they released it before march. Maybe it’s going to be a collectors edition for after the hype about RE5 being released. Even if this is real though i woudn’t buy it, as ive alreeady got it on the Wii.
eu gostei tomara que lançem logo para ps3 e xbox360 vai ser muito bom jogar denovo eu sou a favor ^^
Ok? I will definitly buy this game if it is the real deal. But come one, don’t get me wrong i love RE4, but are you sure this is real? Anyone?
well the things pointing to real outweigh the things pointing to fake
my opinion is that this is very likely real in the videos the graphics do seem a bit better (mostly hunks texturing) and the interact button is a blue X and the back button in the menu was a big red B on-top of that there is that menu… now take into account this could all be faked, but really if someone had the technology and knowledge to do those things would they really waste their time doing something like that???
Why would someone waste their time to do something like that? To fool thousands of people and be remembered as the guys that pulled one of the most talked about pranks ever.
you have a point but i just dont think someones so smart would be so stupid… see my line of thought???

this is so fake RE5 is now the big thing in the resi series now so all of u hu think this is real get a lil bit more sence. dont get me wrong id luv to c this happen but RE4 is old its had its time now its time fro RE5 so just drop this whole RE4 cuming next-gen shit plzzzzzzzzzzz
hey It would be very cool for RE4 to be on the xbox 360 I’ve been waiting for this for forever but why now; now that the new RE came out would they be thinking of one for the newer system. that doesn’t make any since on their part.
whats up with camera view it sucks
although a liked RE4(a thought it had a superb story-line and gameplay) it would be good to have a remastered version to suit the 360 and ps3 graphics standards, but a think the real smart move for capcom (and also all the true RE fans will back me up on this one) will to remake a version of RE2 for the next-gen consoles,like they done wih RE1&RE0 for the gamecube. it would be remake of the century in the eyes of the true RE fans,as for me and millions other this was the best installment in the RE legacy. but what i would like to see if this brilliant remake is ever considered would be the same game with better graphics .etc but also extras like maybay a side quest for hunk as seen in the FMV when there trying to take the G-virus sample from William Birkin and maybay that part and hunk tryin to escape and maybay make the story line smart so it leads into even deeper secrets of racoon city’s inccident that would in future lead to other games to answer the question’s and if Capcom plans all there future games like this theres a possible chance they could be goin on for years and years to come…..’just a though’ capcom should employ some true fans to the company for marketing and ideas for future installments in the RE series. if you have replies and views on my comment your are welcome so share them with me :)..Thanks.
