Chris Buffa (Modojo): Capcom's Resident Evil franchise has thrived on consoles, particularly Resident Evil 2 on the original PlayStation and then Resident Evil 4 on GameCube.
The series' portable games are a bit rockier. All of them have familiar Resident Evil staples like zombies, green herbs and familiar heroes and villains. The quality of these titles, though, is all over the place, from triple A experiences to sub par efforts most fans would turn up their noses at quicker than a rotting corpse.
From Xfire: "Steam users and the larger PC gaming community are lashing out at Capcom over a streak of sneaky DRM updates as the Japanese gaming giant continues to flirt with controversy"
Yep this shows how bad a digital world is now well for the old titles new games disc or not the drm is there but you can get the old games on dvd then try to monkey the last pre drm update onto the game files.
I love GOG for this reason i saw that skyrim bs update so i know not to run that version as gog you can select what patch to download/install with capcom hopefully we get a list of the update numbers that add this horrific drm.
With denuvo as a alder lake pc user it still has issues with E cores and i remember when the servers were taken offline forcing hundreds of games to be paperweights.

It's also really annoying how they can cut or change content later, like the Skull Girls controversy, a decade later after the game came out, they decide to censor it. The game is a decade old, if it's not broken, leave it, adding DRM back into older games is BS.
@final
Good point even major sp games got the cut after the fact be it last of us with maps/art or gta 5 removing stuff in the world.
Cyberpunk ps4 day one disc copy the sept build still has stuff the other versions no longer have.
With the gta 6 controversy right now i think back to the days of saints row creating a character beating up cops with a dildo bat and now we have elon crying over gta 6 guns killing cops i bet you if they made saints row 2 hd they would half to cut half the games content or go to jail lol also sad.
Was watching avatar last airbender 13yr old ang kissing katar again can not have that in a kids show or game now.
Do they want more of their games to be torrented? Seems like it, I don't mind 🤣 Just ripped them a new asshole on Twitter, as I do not care what I say or post on there LOL.
Let me guess, you have a vpn enabled. For your sake I hope it's not in any 5 Eyes territories.
Nice. I got a lifetime ban on Twitter back in 2020 for speaking my mind. Don't care tbh, I'm not really into social media. I don't even have a Facebook account.
I'm still trying to get banned to lol I'll keep at it 🤣 I have FB but maybe log in once a month but yeah always speak your mind no matter how bad the words come out, do not hold back online or IRL. Fuck them shit bags lol.
This is classic Capcom. They everything they go on a hot streak and win back some consumer good will they have to turn around and burn it to the ground and have to start the whole process again.
Additional DRM just pushes people to pirate more. These ignorant executives just don't get it. Only the legitimate customer is affected by DRM. 😕
Got that retro survival horror bug? Here's Chit Hot's picks for the seven best survival horror games from yesteryear.
Eternal Darkness was way ahead of its time especially for a Nintendo exclusive.
I would love to see a remake or sequel (multiplatform)
4 people love Eternal Darkness.
Quick! Jump on that remake, whoever holds the rights these days.
GameFlavor's Resident Evil First Aid Drink is making a comeback, offering high quality Resident Evil merch.
I haven't bought a single portable RE evil game.
All this does is show the lack of resident evil games on Sony's portable machines.
However its too early to tell with the vita since thats not even out in most parts of the world, yet. Ironically, monster hunter which has been known as a major psp ip has quickly landed on the 3DS along with a resident evil game to boot.
I sometimes feel as if there might be a friction between Capcom and Sony. It was the same kind of treatment with the ps2, Capcom seem reluctant to release the goods on Sony's platform earlier on.
Resident evil, like final fantasy and tomb raider amongst others, were given life on Playstation. I just dont get the treatment.
The dreamcast had all the cool 2D fighters including a resident evil, what did the ps2 get? An experiment call devil may cry as well as onimusha, which arent bad, but you get my drift.
The gamecube launched a year later and right away got a remake of the first resident evil game, and an exclusive in resident evil zero and a sequel in 4.
Mind you, the ps2 was out a year after the dreamcast and a year before the gamecube with a larger install base than those two platforms and no resident evil love until it was demanded and grew old.
Capcom these days has taken a mainstream approach, so hopefully the vita is graced with some resident evil love. Heck a port of resident evil zero and Gamecube remake of the first resident evil game would do it for me.
