I love the GC and PS2 version of RE4. I kind of wish it were on XBOX as well. The RE: Deadly Silence had some things going for it, but it was a bit of a let down for me. Don't you think that RE4 or a resident evil game with the control style of RE4 would work perfect?

here are my reasons why:

1). Widescreen Format *something they tried to fake on the GC*

2). Analog stick *You only needed one!*

3) Same amount of buttons the GC has not counting Z because it was a MAP button

4). Wouldn't we all like a portable RE that's not as disappointing as the RE: DS?

control is a bit of an issue, but I'd map the buttons like this for the PSP

R: Aim

L: ready Knife

X: Action button/ Shoot

Square: Running

O/ Triangle:  Inventory Screen

Start: Pause

Select: Map

Analog stick: Movement

Directional Pad: Movement or an extra setting for quick weapon switch or healing.

Yes, I know that was long, but I have been thinking about an RE PSP game for a while, I was just wondering if anyone else thought the same. Maybe we should contact Capcom about it!

Even though I am mainly a DS supporter, I think the ability to play RE4 on the go may just be the killer title the PSP needs for me to get one.

IMO RE: DS wasn't dissapointing, it holds up well for a 10 year old game.

Yes, the PSP would be perfect for an RE4 style game and the controls can near be identically replicated. Also given the PSP is almost on a level as the PS2, all they'd have to do is re-use the engine in the PS2 game and downgrade the textures and things. But, if they'd ever do it, it had better be an original game, no port. And, it had better have an infastructure multiplayer, that would give it some serious selling power. Afterall, it's not likely it could ever top RE4 in single player, but at least if it had an online multiplayer it would give it a serious advantage over it.

I think we need it on the XBOX to see that the hoopla is all about this game. I wouldn't mind it on the PSP as well if the camera controls are not as clunky as the first RE games that came out on the Original Playstation

I think a RE game for the PSP using the control scheme of RE4 and a slightly degraded engine would be really good.  If the game had a new story and some new gameplay elements it would probaly be must have title for the PSP.

I love the GC and PS2 version of RE4. I kind of wish it were on XBOX as well. The RE: Deadly Silence had some things going for it, but it was a bit of a let down for me. Don't you think that RE4 or a resident evil game with the control style of RE4 would work perfect?

here are my reasons why:

1). Widescreen Format *something they tried to fake on the GC*

2). Analog stick *You only needed one!*

3) Same amount of buttons the GC has not counting Z because it was a MAP button

4). Wouldn't we all like a portable RE that's not as disappointing as the RE: DS?

control is a bit of an issue, but I'd map the buttons like this for the PSP

R: Aim

L: ready Knife

X: Action button/ Shoot

Square: Running

O/ Triangle: Inventory Screen

Start: Pause

Select: Map

Analog stick: Movement

Directional Pad: Movement or an extra setting for quick weapon switch or healing.

Yes, I know that was long, but I have been thinking about an RE PSP game for a while, I was just wondering if anyone else thought the same. Maybe we should contact Capcom about it!

I was thinking the exact same thing! I think they should make an RE:O for PSP with the RE4 controls and behind the shoulder camera angle.

now THAT is a great Idea. I was talkin about that in the car with a friend of mine one day.

I hope a Capcom Exec reads this. they should really think about it

well with all respects, Silent Hill Origins seems to be walking along the same path. granted it's not an RE game, but still a decent horror game franchise none-the-less.

A game like resident evil 4 is way overdue for the PSP. I was thinking about this almost as soon as I got my psp. It would definitly work on a psp because of the control scheme. I hope however they dont just make some lame toned down port.
