Speculations become official

IN A press release today, Ubisoft and Capcom announced three games to be ported to the PC.

Ubisoft's new charges include Resident Evil 4, Onimusha 3 and Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening Special Edition. The news regarding RE4 comes as only minor surprise considering this article about RE4's PC availability as of the 31st of March.

Their distribution will hit North America and Europe starting with Onimusha 3 sometime in February of this year. They didn't say whether Devil May Cry 3 is being released before or after Resident Evil 4, but with the overall suddenness of the announcement, it could well be.

RE4 is a heavily-lauded survival horror game, rife with zombies. Onimusha 3 features a medieval Japanese setting for its action-packed adventure. And Devil May Cry 3 carries on the creepiness with a gothic atmosphere and thrilling combat.

Toshihiro Tokumaru, executive officer at Capcom stated, “We look forward to working together for continued growth for both companies.'' Which might be hinting at further distribution deals. Score another thousand points for PC gamers.
 
^ I wonder how DMC3's excellent gameplay will translate over to the keyboard and mouse.RE3:Nemesis was a nightmare(:ashamed:) on the PC.Besides,it doesn't really matter to console gamers because they got to play these games two years before PC gamers anyway :P

EDIT: Who's gonna get them anyway? Ubisoft scares everyone away!

Lol you are talking as if there are no gamepads available for PCs at all :lol:

And IIRC dante's awakening released 2-3 days ago while RE 4 was a 2005 release. :)
 
No everyone has a gamepad.Besides,ppl prefer PC gaming due to the keyboard and mouse,as evidenced by the Pc gaming vs. Consoles thread,remember? :P

yep RE4 jan 05 on gamecube and i think it was october 05 for PS2.

Anyway i play the game uninstall it and remove starforce. using starforce removing utility. Worked for me in past.

and pc users will adjust to kb mouse gameplay very easily :P then there are good D pads and analog pads for those who prefer them.

I am gona skip RE4 anyway, I hate scary horror games ;)

horror and scary is best left to movies for me :P
 
Well,I never said its gonna fail,did I? Im just interested in seeing how well this gamepad-focused game would emulate on the KB and mouse.I doubt it would be the same experience.

DMC is a platformer if you remember or do you just like arguing and nitpicking for the sake of it ? And the game publishers wont ever ask you to buy a gamepad for the game thats a personal preference. Platformers like Psychonauts and BGE have very good control mapping for the keyboard/mice crowd.
 
DMC is a platformer ??? Well New to me ! Anyways i can assure u that DMC is NEVER and i mean NEVER gonna be succesful on a PC ! Ports of such kinda games just does'nt work well on a pc ! And yeah Demon is right more than 90% of the pc gamers dont have a gamepad ! So how in the blue hell can u think that playing DMC with a mouse and keyboard is gonna be possible ?? Remember Matrix : Path of neo ??? , It was fine on the console but it truly SUCKED on the PC and iam saying this coz being a matrix fan i purchased both the versions !

Games like Resident evil 4 may become succesful on a PC but Devil may cry 3, just forget about that !!
 
^^So what genre is DMC? Is the gameplay similar to POP: SOT types? In that case there won't be much issue on porting it to mouse and keyboard.
 
From GS

As previously mentioned, Devil May Cry doesn't control like Resident Evil, Dino Crisis, or any number of other RE clones on the market. Instead, DMC takes a more 3D-platformer approach to control. Simply point the analog stick in the direction you want to move, and Dante starts moving.

The same way in blue hell they make FPSs work with analog sticks :P The crappy concept of assisting gamers by slowing down the crosshair once its over a enemy/target.
 
Cheer up guys! Consoles have been and done with all those games specially Re4 but for PC gamers its an oppurtunity to loath the awesomeness of the game no matter when it releases :ohyeah:

So now its Confirmed. :hap2:

Going on topic - Consoles have always gotten it first. Grand Theft Auto San Andreas anyone? That came to PC after half a year on consoles, Re4 more than a year (released Jan last year, releasing April this year for PC)

@Bluff - Its not like Re4 is gone exclusive to PC's, lol. The consoles would be getting Re5 first (arnd early 2007), and i can see a PC version a year after that already (in 2008-09) because RE now also has a home on PC for its main numbered titles exept Re0 which still remains exclusive to gamecube.

Though i'm dissapointed Capcom is not remaking the game for the PC (which they did for the Ps2 from Gamecube) and it will most likely be a direct port. Hope if they can port over the same level of gameplay quality offered by the consoles, Keyboard is going to suck with Re4 so all those planning to get it on PC plan to make a purchase on a gamepad as well, Its not your regualr FPS where mouse aiming would kick ass in my opinion.
 
If its point and shoot, no way a gamepad can match a mouse+keyb. Is resident evil an FPS/TPS? I have no clue!
 
Its not entirely point and shoot and its not exactly TPS either. Its a mixture of both. You have an equal amounts of puzzle, finding, searching which would suck on a keyboard (Imagine playing Silent Hill on a keyboard if you've never played an RE before, if you find the 4 way directional buttons on the keyboard an alternative to the analogue then something is wrong somewhere) and over the shoulder type FPS shooting.

I wouldn't call it FPS. On a FPS, you're like shooting ALL THE TIME. In Re4 you're given an over the shoulder prsopective (which itself i think isn't exactly FPS) and goes back to third person as soon as you put the gun down.

I can surely say for one thing - That kicked ass on controllers. Just the sheer number of GOTY awards it recieved last year says that.
 
^^Okay got the thing... You mean the Cold Fear types? Boy that sucked :P.

Edit: No real PC gamer uses arrow keys. E/S/D/F plus the keys around it are the way to go!
 
awesome stuff. finally will be able to play it on my pc since my ps2 is spoilt since 2 years. also will be good for me cause i got the ps2 controllers attached on my pc. so better gfx & same controls
