Resident Evil 4 goes PS2

Capcom steekt Nintendo in de ruggegraat en kondigd Resident Evil 4 aan voor de Playstation 2 Nintendo mist heel wat games die de console de nodige volwassenheid kunnen brengen, maar er is één game die zoveel bloed, moord en brand bevat dat je de GameCube kunt bestempelen als dé console voor horrorfreaks: Resident Evil 4. De game werd zo'n drie jaar terug aangekondigd als GameCube exclusive, maar vandaag valt er wederom een rotsblok op alle Nintendo supporters... Capcom heeft namelijk bekend gemaakt dat Resident Evil 4 eind 2005 ook op de Playstation 2 zal gaan verschijnen. Hiermee volgt Resident Evil 4 het voorbeeld van eerdere GameCube exclusives van Capcom, Viewtiful Joe en Killer 7. Natuurlijk kunnen wij Resident Evil 4 nog steeds het eerst oppikken in het eerste kwart van 2005, maar de grootste teleurstelling van 2005? Toch wel een beetje...
