Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Resident Evil 5 for Wii Petition.

The PS2 crowd was dealt a blow when Capcom announced RE4 a Gamecube exclusive, and when the game was released, people said that there was no way the PS2 could handle those graphics. They were right, but that didn't prevent Capcom from cutting a few corners and still releasing a great looking port. I mean a lot of reviewers were amazed that Capcom pulled it off.

I see no reason why Capcom wouldn't be able to release a Wii port, unless they are doing something crazy with the polygon count like Polyphony Digital is doing with Gran Turismo 5. If that were the case, then I'd have my doubts of Capcom making a Wii port of RE5.

There is nothing we can do, and it's all up to Capcom to decide if this will remain only on the PS3 and 360. All we have to work with are trailers.

Every Resident Evil 5 for Wii petition thread has the same fate.

  1. Thread starter asks other to sign.
  2. People reply and say they sign.
  3. Supporters of HD consoles come in and say all the main series games will stay on their consoles, so Wii owners just have to deal with and but either a 360 or PS3 to play RE5.
  4. Gballzack posts her arguements.
  5. Flamewar starts.
  6. A mod comes in and tries to cool down the heated debate.
  7. twesterm makes it clear in a civil manner why a Wii version of RE5 is unlikely.
  8. Thread is as good as over.
  9. LordTheNightKnight questions twesterm's arguements.
  10. A huge debate starts which will likely end with pictures of the mobile version of RE4.
Just drop it you two. You have argued it before, we have all read it before and we are all tired of it. Where are the cats?

Pardon my French, but f*%& you. I'm not standing for someone pretending to know something they don't. And I'm not pretending to know what RE5 would take. My point is the game might not take the time and money he claims, where he's claiming it absolutely will.

EDIT: Famine put it best. All we have to work with are the trailers. Therefore, any claims it wouldn't work on the Wii have NO PRACTICAL BASIS. 



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Hey LtNK.  I enjoy your reading your posts because they're usually worth reading which is why this comment is very much unexpected.  Disagree and argue whatever, but do so in a civil manner please.

I know you're above that kind of remark.

ron basically told me to shut up. That's why I responded that way.

And I'm not going to shut up while twestern lies that he knows what RE5 would be like. There is a possibility the game would have the problems he claims, but he doesn't actually know the will be. Therefore, he is a liar.

The result of your debate won't change, no matter how long you continue it. You won't stop challenging him until he admits that he could be wrong. But he won't change his point of view.

Therefore you both waste your time, just like the last time you had this discussion. The outcome won't be different this time. Of course you are both allowed to continue, if you like discussing this to death without gaining anything.


I'm not necessarily trying to get him to admit it. I'm just not letting his lies stand, even it he won't admit them.

You aren't part of the RE5 team. You don't know what the game will actually do. You don't know how much work any port would actually take. I'm NOT claiming it will take less work. I'm pointing out it's not absolutely certain it will, because you don't actually know what's going on with that game.

Furthermore, how much work have you done on the Wii? The only Wii games I see for TR are Metal Slug Anthology, which is not even a 3D game, and Ghostbusters, which version you aren't even working on.

Or even if enough people at the company have, how much experience do they have porting to it from the PS3/360? Until I see a game actually completed for those systems, and then ported to the Wii, you don't actually know the things you claim will take the amount of work you claim.


You know, I had a lengthy response typed up, but it's not worth it. you keep completely ignoring everything and then throw the link or it isn't real flag thinking you're clever. I'm just going to go with I have the experience, I work with the people that have the experience (on all system, even someone who worked on MP3), I've even had this conversation with some of those people, and I know it isn't going to happen.

Yes, I have no link, but I also have no link to say that pigs aren't going to suddenly sprout wings and start flying tomorrow. It's simply common knowledge the Wii doesn't compare in power to the 360/Ps3 (which don't get me wrong, isn't everything) and a game made for the PS3/360 only won't go on the Wii without a considerable amount of effort and money. Money that would be much better spent on a new and original game.

And Rol is completely right, I'm only here since it gives me something to do but I suppose I'll find a new thread to follow...maybe I'll find my cats again. 



You've spoken with people who've actually ported a game from the PS3/360 to the Wii? What games were those?

Or do you mean you've spoken with the people on RE5, and know for a fact what the game models will be like?

Have you actually spoken with people relevant to those specific points, and not just people who've merely worked on one of those systems?

This is getting a lock, and Lord this is a warning. Learn to debate civilly.



BTW, since I'm my point is a "might", despite how much you ignore that, it is possible for this to be like that, but it's ONLY in relation to the ONE SPECIFIC GAME of Resident Evil 5, NOT any other game. Since you are not working on that game, YOU DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT IT WILL TAKE TO PORT IT.

And don't try to claim I have to prove anything. I'm not claiming anything. You aren't disputing that you aren't part of the RE5 team, but still lying you know what the game will be like.

If someone ACTUALLY FROM CAPCOM said something to the effect of the game taking two years and $7-8 million, I would believe them, because THAT PERSON would have the authority to speak for Capcom.

YOU DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO SPEAK FOR CAPCOM.

Yeah, I'm going to agree with LtNK.

There are those who also say developing for the PS3 is like getting anal with no lube. Take Gabe for example, the minute someone mention PS3, he starts to get red on the face, sweat, and appears his about to have a heart attack.

Then you have Capcom saying developing games for both the 360 and PS3 are a sinch.

Of course both examples pertain to the PS3, but still, many developers have a few tricks up their sleeves, and until Capcom say that they are not making this game on the Wii, this still can be debatable.
