>Sony told SEGA the same thing they had told Capcom numerous times: “Release this on Playstation 2 or you'll never be allowed to release games on a Sony brand console ever again”. The PS2 was the dominant console that generation and being prevented from releasing titles on it could doom a company

PS2 couldn't handle RE4 without severe downgrades lol

According to Capcom, the character Leon was modeled with 10.000 polygons on the Gamecube, and on the PS2 the polygon count will be almost half of that number. By comparison, the Snake on Metal Gear Solid 3 has 4.000 polygons, 1.000 less than the PS2 RE4 Leon.

The textures, that on the Gamecube were on the 24bits color standard, will be lowered to 4 or 8 bits. On the other hand, the wider and superior memory bandwidth on the Playstation 2 will allow the use of more varied textures than that used on the Cube.

Rebecca and Billy feel like guest characters in a story that's really about Wesker, Birkin, and Marcus. Those 3 just dump tons of exposition about dumb RE lore on the player and do shit offscreen the supposed protagonists are never even aware of. Billy and Rebecca never even really enter into the equation and pretty much everything that happens to them over the course of the game is a side effect of Marcus and the other two trying to fuck each other over. It's hilarious when they finally meet Marcus for the first time, about 5 minutes before the game ends, and Billy's reaction is quite literally "Wait, who are you?" before Marcus just randomly launches into some generic evil monologue and turns into a leech monster.
