Capcom issues Resident Evil: The Mercenaries save data

STN Writes:

Capcom has tonight issued a statement regarding the save data for Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D following concerns that the second hand sales value will be affected.

Essentially Capcom is saying that saves are not able to be written over due to a design decision more than anything else. Capcom also says that used copies of the game were not taken into consideration.

I hope core RE fans who will blindly buy this game will be disappointed.

Why on earth would you wish that? that just sounds really bitter

meganick5115d ago

I bought it because I really enjoyed the mercenaries mode in the recent console games. The 3DS version is fun, but the lack of save erasing is a dick move on Capcom's part, so I can understand the outrage.

meganick5115d ago

I'm actually more offended by Capcom's refusal to admit the real reason they prevented the erasing of save data than the actual act of preventing the erasing of save data.

sandreini5115d ago

I love Capcom, but don't take us for fools. This is also the Capcom that charged $5 or $15 for DLC that was already on the RE5 disk. Don't go down this path any further, please.

Sadly, pretty sure that between them and EA they were the first to open that path.

And really, how many times does this have to be asked: How many versions of Street Fighter 2 did they put out? When did Megaman Network Battle start coming monthly?

Monthly!

It will come. I just think it will be after code Veronica, and zero. Maybe in line with when RE 10 releases…

gold_drake84d ago

do we really need another remake?

the one that got re released for the ps4 and xbox looks amazing.

-Foxtrot84d ago

It's been 23 years, by the time this could come out we'd be nearing 25. If it's done in the same style as the RE2, 3 & 4 Remake then yeah, I'd happily take another remake.

It gets to tie together RE0 and RE1 better while adding onto the mansion to give us new areas to visit or enemies to face.

Part of me always wishes the "OG" Resident Evil Remake would remain the only one. Then again, can't deny the financial incentive.

PlayStation Community Rejoice. Resident Evil 1 and Dino Crisis Finally Released From PSN Paywall

Until a few days ago, you could only access Dino Crisis and Resident Evil 1 via PS+. No one could simply purchase them, you had to rely on a monthly subscription.

SimpleSlave214d ago

Fucking Finally! Such a dumbass move to keep them behind a paywall hardly anyone will pay just for these two games.

Also, for some reason, Resident Evil Director’s Cut is free. It happened with Grandia (PS1) too a while ago. Weird, but oh so good.

VersusDMC214d ago

If you bought the original PS1 classic you get the new one for free. I didn't buy the RE1 PS1 classic back in the day so it is 10$ but i got legend of dragoon free because i bought it back in the day.

SimpleSlave214d ago (Edited 214d ago )

Interesting, but I didn't bought any of these games digitally. I only bought them physically and played them on the PS3. And while Grandia and Resi are part of that collection, there are other games, like G-Police, Legends of Dragoon Legend of Mana, that still have a price tag for me.

This sounds more like a random thing Sony is doing. Regardless, I just saved $10. So that's something.

VersusDMC214d ago

Honestly the texture gitters/clipping are a dealbreaker for me so not even trophies will get me to play these versions.

Capcom should just do a survival horror collection with proper remastering ,trophies and extras. Just like the MVC collection. I will just replay them on my vita for now.

jznrpg214d ago

If they made a collection with trophies I’d buy it but I’d like for them to add trophies to what’s there already
