Your Resident Evil Collection

[Enetirnel]

Well you do get a manual, a digital copy at least... I know...

And I'm sorry to hear that (or rather "read" that) I don't understand why capcom is being so lazy with that, I mean, why not releasing all at the same time for all regions? I have been using my Wesker (RE:CVX) avatar for quite the time now :S

Not with every release you don't. Nor are all of the games available in all regions digitally.

Overall, it's normal for Europe to be screwed over constantly (hell, look at the MGS HD Collection. Released now everywhere but Europe and Oceania regions - who have to wait until FEBRUARY NEXT YEAR).

My problem regarding the avatars is that the staff have actually specifically said they've contacted Capcom about it - if they've delayed them going onto the European PSN or if they just can't be bothered to give permission for them to also be released onto the European one from the US side of it.

Capcom hasn't bothered responding yet, despite that the Sony staff have been hassled a bit by fans and have asked for people that want the avatars to be patient as they're still waiting for a response from Capcom.

No idea why they haven't responded so they could get more money for bloody avatars, but it seems like another case of "Too bad Europe" on there.

I mean, hell - Konami removed Silent Hill PS1 quite a while ago on thePSN and they only just put it back on there recently so it's not like it's uncommon for us to be constantly screwed over for ages until we finally catch up (games being released years to months after they've been released elsewhere) and so-on.

I'd love to use a Claire or Wesker avatar, but I can't. The only RE ones on here are the 5 ones going off the top of my head and some Operation Raccoon City ones. Neither of which I want, since the Bertha ORC one barely has her in the frame. You see more of her rifle than of her in the actual avatar... so I passed on that and went with a Dissidia one instead.

Digital would be great if they gave you the manual and the like with it.

That and the other RE games aside from RE1 Director's Cut haven't been put onto the European PSN, neither have the RE4 or CV/CV:X avatars either and according to staff responding on the official PS forums, PS Blog is that they've been waiting on a response from Capcom in regard to them but they haven't heard anything from them.

Agreed, it would be nice if they just included digital back up copies with the game similar to how digital copies of movies are included with some dvd's.

OMFG. This. I would gladly hand my hard earned cash if I got the chance to have a physical and digital copies of any game I purchase. You keep a copy of the game and get all the benefits of digital distribution. A win/win if you ask me.

Also, if anyone else is interested in collecting some Moby Dick Biohazard figures, I found a pretty good deal for you on Amazon. You get the biker version of Claire, Chris Redfield and a two pack of Jill Valentine (Regina version) and a Brainsucker, for $69.99 plus 6 bucks for shipping. I wish I came across a deal like this before I bought them all separate. Four Moby Dick figures for under $80 bucks ain't a bad deal at all considering most are over a $100 alone. That said, these are the cheaper, more common figures of the series which explains they're cost, but you'd still pay around 30 for each and 60 for the two-pack so it's best to just grab them all up at once.

Happy hunting

Point taken...

I'll be looking for the games discs online to complete my collection, I like them digital though since I can carry them on my PSP, and playing those games on the go is a dream came true to me, but yes, you do have a point and I will be completing my collection with the actual discs.

So we're pretty much stuck with RE1, which as a result means I have to take my laptop with me if I want to play RE1-5 on the go.

But overall, if you get the discs then at least you have them to play just in case something were to happen to your account and vice-versa.

[Edit]

And I'm waiting on something to arrive for Smiley, since he said he wanted it I've gotten him the TGS 2011 Biohazard Revelations Mini OST.

^ Cool shirt, I like it.

Which claire variant does the twisted leg come with? i think ive got the leather jacket biker girl claire.

Ah a Type 2 really would be amazing to have (funny, as i was writing this i was watching American dad and Jill valentine was just mentioned....strange) but i dont think id like to spend the amount he goes for.

It was the pink vest version. I'm not sure if your Mr.X arrived yet but I got mine today and it comes with...*drum roll* a spike. Nice figure though, about the same height as Nemesis and the arms are pretty articulate (for a Moby Dick figure). I was hoping for a bigger Nemesis part but at least I'm getting there-albeit very, very, slowly. I also got the El Gigante figure, the detail looks much better in person lol.

Sure, if you go for digital downloads, you have the GAMES... But you don't have collectibles. There's a huge difference between "I have downloaded RE1GBC, I have this super rare game in my collection!!!!" and "I bought the motherfucking RE1GBC cart." (Not to imply anything.)

And that good Sir is the reason I prefer the physical copies. Not only do I like the feeling of having the actual disc on my shelf because it's "in" my collection, but also because you can turn around and sell a well conditioned copy of just about anything over the course of several years for a good sum of money-not that I'd ever sell any RE games, unless they were duplicates. My biggest problem with digital copies is that I still don't trust technology enough to rely solely on it's database and nothing more.

Anyways, fuck it, as long as you're playing and enjoying the game that's all that matters. For instance, I bought Castlevania: Symphony of the Night on PSN because it's one of my all time favorite games, but the price for a well conditioned copy are quite high. Therefore, I just enjoy this digital copy while I wait to inevitably acquire a physical copy someday (my old copy broke years ago ).

The other use I found for digital copies is for easier transportation. I've downloaded all the RE games on PSN, just so I don't have to take them out of the case anymore, or pack the games with me when I travel.

Received this exclusive a couple of weeks ago. And I'm actually tempted to order another one.

I'd disagree. Just because it's digital doesn't make it more or less valid.

I wasn't as serious as it may have seemed. The good thing about collecting is that you can collect exactly what you want, and what others think about it is irrelevant.

That's pretty much what I was meaning Andy.

They're digital versions that are essentially being licensed so even with digital downloads, for instance - let's say I bought a game via Steam and the company wanted it removed. My computer crashes, after the initial purchase they haven't got really any obligation to provide the files for download again and should the service be shut down, cancelled or my account closed, banned or so-on... I wouldn't be able to play something I've paid good money for.

This is essentially across all platforms that use digital distribution either within the account terms, agreements, even within service FAQ, game downloads themselves.

So, personally I think it would be a bit easier to at the very least have a disc version of it physically. If you've got the consoles, then that's great. If you've got a decent PC, then you could pop the disc into the drive and play it via an emulator - either way, there's a bit more safety than hoping that a service isn't shut down, items removed, that your account gets hacked or that you've accidentally broken a part of the agreement/terms either.

That and a lot of the digital versions don't include full manual details, including character information. Such as the Metal Gear Solid digital download version, which the game itself requires you to look on the back of the case to find Meryl's codec, with only a disc (no manual or case) or a digital download - you'd end up a bit screwed unless you looked online to find the way to get around it.

MGS isn't the only game that has done this either and speaking of MGS, some games may also feature comics or specific information that may be needed later on in a game (RPGs and personal NPC details anyone?) which also wouldn't be available for the most part in said digital download.

The whole combination of all of that is why I don't consider digital ones to be part of a collection, as despite being able to play them it can also cause some actual issues there and there's a lot more possible issues using digital ones too.

[ANDYARKLAY]

I got it about 3 weeks ago.

But seriously, PSN downloads do not count in a collection!

I agree. I don't think that PSN account is a part of collection(even with top highscores in re5).If you will:
-lose password to your psn account
-violate psn rules and earn ban
-your ps3 will be broken(not harddrive)
you can lose ability to access digital content without dealing physical damage and not because harddrive became too old and stopped working.
By the way the harddrive wasn't manufactured by capcom or by some company with license from capcom.And its not important if you got part of your collection legit or not - if i'll make agreement with friend who works in shop and he will replace re5 promo(which should be returned to 1C company - at least in my country it works this way) in xbox standee with regular re5 disc, i'll get the promo disc illegitimately but it surely will be a part of collection.Also you can buy download 300 games on your harddrive - nobody will give more than 150$ for it. But surely if you will spend the same amount of money on disc versions - when you will decide to sell them all, you will get more money.And the disc versions of revival selection are surely part of collection - if i'll lose access to psn/earn ban/my ps3 will be broken i can play them on any ps3 under any account.

I'd disagree. Just because it's digital doesn't make it more or less valid. I don't own any of the game digitally, but that's entirely because I don't like digital much. As long as it's not an illegal download copy, I don't see how having a version on disc is any more valid than having a version on a hard drive. It's all a matter of data storage, at the end of the day.

[Enetirnel]

But seriously, PSN downloads do not count in a collection!

I would have to agree, I wouldn't count the Clock Tower SNES/SFC emulated version via the Wii Store within a Clock Tower collection - nor would I do the same with other ones, such as Biohazard/Resident Evil or Silent Hill unless it was the ONLY way to have the game itself (such as that it was only released in X country digitally, or the only actual release was digital).

As for the Biohazard/Resident Evil games - the original ones aren't too hard to find, nor are the PS1, PS2 versions particularly expensive. Depending on where you live, the GameCube ones could be cheap as dirt or utterly over-priced.

Though regarding digital distribution, I find it a shame that Capcom haven't re-released their older PC versions onto say... Steam considering that VALVe have allowed older games such as the Oddworld games on there. Would make it a hell of a lot easier than having to dig out a disc from my basement whenever I want to play them. (That and the Xploder version of RE3 is horrible as it doesn't include Mercs, so that's a fairly shameful re-release).

[Anders]

Thats not lame at all.

Sure it is. You're both lame.
JUST KIDDING.

[I_Am_Nemesis]

Well, you guys will make fun of me but all I got is the original trilogy for PS3 (as PSN downloads) RE Code Veronica X HD(PSN) Resident Evil 4 HD(PSN) Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition, Resident Evil 0 on GC, Resident Evil 1 on GC and Resident Evil 4 on GC. Lame, I know...

Thats not lame at all. before i joined this forum i only had the main games, dead aim, survivor 2 and Gaiden. I didnt even really think about collecting all of this stuff until i saw this thread and started to read through it.
