Resident Evil HD Remakes Getting Retail Release

Resident Evil HD Remakes Getting Retail Release

Two digital releases confirmed for the storefront

Written by Lavindathar on 26 July 11 at 12:59 | Credit to zigs00

Back in March Capcom confirmed that both Resident Evil 4 and Code Veronica X were coming to XBLA in 720p via digital distribution.

Jump to the present day and Capcom have now confirmed that both titles will get a retail release as well as a solid release date for both titles outside of Japan. Resident Evil 4 will be hitting stores on September 20th and Code Veronica X on September 27th, whilst the Japanese market gets their hands on the pair come September 8th.

It is currently unconfirmed whether the European release will match the release stateside but the chances are high if we take the digital release into consideration.

It will also be interesting to see how the prices of the two versions compare - with the current economic climate and the discounts being offered by online retailers, can the Games on Demand service compete with the high street?

I cant wait to play Super Resident Evil 4.

then about 40 minutes later I will have to buy Ultimate Resident Evil 4.

Then what about Resident Evil 4 Case 0, then Case Wesker on XBLA.

In all seriousness, I can see it coming on G.O.D at about £10-£15 each

Then retail a few weeks later at about £25-£29.

Hopefully I'm wrong and its a lot cheaper, but they really messed up the achievements, why only 12 for 1000 gamerscore and not 30-50 ?

If I were to hazard a guess at pricing, I think it will hit GoD at £19.99. I reckon the stores will have the same RRP price, but be letting them go for £15.

At last they release as games on demand as well as retail.

I had never bothered before as can nomrally get cheaper in the shops by the time they release it and prefer to have a disc (especially if cheaper!).

I might well download now if price is more favourable (which it should be as has less production cost)

How much was SSFIV AE? My guess would be they'll be selling these RE redux's at a similar price.

£9.99 each or £20 for them both would be awesome.

Personally, I think based on previous GoD pricing schemes they will launch at £19.99 each. But, who knows, I'm just guessing ;) But this is Capcom afterall :)

And Duwen, RRP of SSF4:AE was £24.99 in the UK.

Welcome news.
I'd much rather have a physical disc than a download that has no resell value at all.

As much as people want to talk about how digital downloads are taking over every media industry I believe that video games are one thing that is foreseeably safe for now. At least when it comes to the retail market, a lot of people sell games after completing them. Until digital transactions can take place (which I could not see a good system of that) it will stay this way.

Let me get this straight, they're releasing the game on discs AND GoD? Why would anybody buy anything on Games on Demand? My money will be on disc format thank you. Nice try M$.

Hopefully they're no more then $30 releases. But I won't be getting them until they're $20 or less since I've played them multiple times and re4 I own on gamecube, ps 2 and wii. I've paid for it enough times lol
