why is it that the resident evil franchise was on the gamecube?

that really bothered me before

when i see the ports of the playstation 1 resident evil games (which are almost impossible to find), resident evil remake, 0, and 4 were solely for the wii

whos brilliant idea was that??

seriously, though, so many people love resident evil and it kills me that it had to be exclusive to the gamecube

not hating or anything but the gamecub really didnt deserve those games, it deserved to have them butnotexclusively for it

those games were violent and you know the gamecube....

(even the creator of 4 was crying about it being ported to the ps2, why?? so more people can enjoy that masterpiece?)

It was that way because it just was. Why is halo only on XBOX, why is finnal fantasy usually on Playstations. Gamecubes are cheapt now go buy one, cheap-o.

The Gamecube was a more powerful console than the PS2, so Capcom could get more juice out of the GC to make the games better looking. Remember Resident Evil for the GC? Everyone was blown away by its graphics. Same goes for RE4, which had to be slightly downgraded graphically (the cutscenes were even pre-rendered) to be ported to the PS2.Getting the RE franchise was one way Nintendo tried to stop ignorant fanboys from believing that Nintendo was for kids, in the hopes of securing a larger fanbase (after having lost out to the PS1). And as a GC owner, I'm glad Nintendo and Capcom did what they did... ;)

It was also pretty stupid to put the only good Zelda clone on PS2 * cough * Okami *Cough. But no i disagree, RE did well on GC, it wasn 't abandoneing ANY fans. REremake was a remake...onyl new game you might have missed out on is RE0 and that wasn't very popular anyway. Re4 was released on PS2.

This is an A grade example of a true fanboy or rather an anti fanboy. You OWN a GC yet you were jelous it was on there because you wanted it on PS2? Please. Who gives a **** what system it's for if you own one you can play the games.

Resident evil games (0, remake, and 4) were awesome on gamecube. All i had last gen was a gamecube (technically i had a PS2 also, but i bought so few games I don't even count it) and those fit in quite nicely... It also made me just confused as to why everybody was on this "Nintendo is for kids" thing when i was playing PoP, RE, Killer 7, Eternal Darkness, and other Mature games on the cube, in addition to the fantastic games that happened to be rated E or T (can adding violence or drugs really make Pikmin better?).

To answer your question as to why they were exclusive to GC... cuz nintendo paid for an exclusive deal.

why was it just on the gamecube when before they were pretty much on every system

and i really felt cheated after only buying the gamecube for like 4 games

That was really really stupid... didn't that game not sell that great? could've benefited from the audiance that's know to like those types of game (not to mention how much prettier it could've been on the cube). And did anybody also figure out that Viewtiful Joe only sold well on Cube? why make their second game PS2 exclusive?

The only thing that'd be a bigger mistake would be not making a sequel (or even a Wii-make) of Okami for Wii.. a caligraphy based game that can be played on a console that allows for caligraphy to be drawn? crazy.

I dont know what 4 games you got for gamecube, but you cheated yourself, there are way more than 4 games worth getting.

Pikmin 2, F-Zero, Waverace, Eternal Darkness, Zelda WW (and TP if you didn't buy a Wii), Soul Calibur (best on GC), Metroid Prime 1 + 2, Super Mario Sunshine, Paper Mario, Batalion Wars, Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat, Killer 7, Super Monkey ball, Veiwtiful Joe, etc.

go buy some and enjoy some of the best games of the last generation.

You guessed it right

The realism achieved with the GC would have been nearly impossible on the PS2. Capcom also thought the GC might have been more successful than it actually was.foxhound_fox

the developer of the game didn't like how ps2 was designed and loved the gamecube.. the isawhole new team making resident evil 5 so i don't exspect it will be as revolutionary to the series as 4 was.

actually nintendo made deal with capcom to make resident evile games only for nintendo gamecub for the next 5 years

and it ended in 2006 so resident evile 4 came to the ps2 :)

Thats your opinion. I'm a big Resident Evil fan...but I'm a Silent Hill NUT lol. Biggest fan ever (silent hill 2 is my favorite game of all time :)...lol), and saying that, i've also beaten Silent hill 3 at least 10 times...AT LEAST. And imo, there's no way it looks better than RE remake for the cube. It has its own art style, its a lot darker and grittier, and definitely scarier (and imo a better game)...but technically, graphically...REmake for the Cube has so much more going on.
