Capcom working on new survival horror game for the XBox?

[Michael Bluth]

Translated Dutch Article Below:

"In the Famitsu, THE magazine of the japanese gamer, was an article this week about the Resident Evil guru: Shinji Mikami. He announced that he's busy with a new horror-concept for an XBox game, named POENA. This not-so-scary word has a sinister meaning in latin. "Punishment". Rrrr baby! Punish me!

It stays a rumour, but who knows? Maybe we can finally enjoy a masterful horror-game from Resident Evil guru Mikami. It's clear that it's not a sequel / prequel to Resident Evil, which appears exclusively on Gamecube these days." "

"In de Famitsu, het lijfblad van de Japanse gamer, stond deze week een interessant artikeltje over Resident Evil guru; Mikami. Hij maakt daar bekend dat hij bezig is met een nieuw horror-concept voor een game op de Xbox, genaamd POENA. Dit niet erg beangstigende woord heeft een duistere betekenis in het latijn. "Straf". Rrrrrr baby! Straf me!

Het blijft een gerucht, maar wie weet kunnen wij eindelijk ook genieten van een meesterlijke horror-game van Resident Evil-guru Mikami. Duidelijk is dat het geen vervolg/voorloper van Resident Evil wordt, die tegenwoordig exclusief op de Gamecube verschijnt."

Believe it or not, xboxworld.nl is a very good site for news, they are correct about 95% of the time. Hopefully it's different than Resident Evil, though.

Seems interesting,yeah I hope it's not the same as RE too.But why did you post it in dutch?^_^;;

[Travis]

Hopefully it's a more action-oriented version of Resident Evil or something...that's more fast-paced.

[Chris]

I doubt it, Shinji seems to be into the Gamecube right now, but it could happen.

[Neo]

Xbox does not deserve the greatness of a Capcom Survival Horror game.

[Future Starlocke]

Xbox doesn't deserve the greatness of having an awesome controller.

Oh wait... it doesn't.

[sagara0510]

if u want an action orientated version of RE, thats what Dino Crisis sorta is. Dino Crisis sucked ass IMO. lacked any atmosphere compared to RE.

[Future Starlocke]

Whatever the case, we can all sleep easy at night because I'm sure it will have good graphics.

Yes... good graphics...

[Michael Bluth]

Rantings of jealous fanboys. Ah, how I have grown accoustomed to it.

[Chris]

I'm no fanboy, I have Xbox too, I was just stating the truth.

And actually, the Controller S isn't bad at all Future.

[Neo]

How am I jealous? GCN has the all the RE games exclusive (except RE:Online). You're getting one spin-off from them...I am soo jealous.

[Future Starlocke]

It'll sell about as well as Fighters Megamix for Game.com... it just makes no sense to even develop it.

Too bad Silent Hill, Clock Tower, etc. totally own Resident Evil. I have systems to play RE on, and it's a very, very mediocre game. And who say this XBox game is a spin-off?

[Future Starlocke]

Who's to say there's a survival horror game from Capcom coming to Xbox at all?

Where are your sources? Your early dev shots? The official Xbox.com annoucement?

Nobody. Notice the "?" at the end of the topic.

[Future Starlocke]

That's right, sucka... posting WRONG information... AGAIN.

Watch out for this guy... he really knows his shit.

[Michael Bluth]

Unlike you, I never stated it as a fact. It's speculation, for now. Douche bag.

[Travis]

Argh, quit arguing, geez. All three systems are good, it's pointless to diss one.

Controller S is awesome, by the way. A very, very comfortable controller.

[Michael Bluth]

Actually, I don't care for the Controller S myself. I like the big boy. But then again, I'm used to the Dreamcast's controller.

[Travis]

DC's controller is one of the best ever...very nice.

[Chris]

The one thing I didn't like about the DC controller was how the cord came out of the bottom. It always felt like the system was tugging it, even when you secured it into that little nook it would come out.

My favorite controller is probably the N64 controller.

[Travis]

Meh, the N64 controller was too weak for me, but hey, it's all about opinions!

The cord coming out of the bottom was weird, yes. I guess they did it so the cord didn't get in the way of the VMU slots or something...oh well.

[Batmanuel]

the gcn one is the best.

[Travis]

Yea, the Gamecube controller is really nice, it fits perfectly in my hands...but for some games it can be weird.

[Neo]

GCN controller is too small for me, PS2's is perfect.

[sagara0510]

i don't like the d-pad on the GCN controller
too small for my liking

i prefer the psx/ps2 controller best

[Batmanuel]

theres some cool 3rd party gcn controllers.
