Mercenaries 3D already recycles RE5 assets, so you already have a good idea how RE5 on 3DS would look.  In fact, Mercenaries 3D was likely born out of experiments with porting RE5's assets.... perhaps we'll also see a similar multiplayer/competitive focused Lost Planet game for NGP?

I'd also keep in mind that RE5 wasn't exactly the most impressive looking MT Framework title, and actually even already had a "low end" version running for the split screen multiplayer.  A decent conversion could definitely be done for 3DS, the only real issue for Wii was the shaders (HDR especially) and 3DS already circumvents that.

And slightly off topic, but Crytek actually said they were interested in bringing CryEngine to 3DS.  :P

Crytek does what Epicdon't. ;)

I have Move and RE5, controls are absolute shit.  There are many problems with it, from minor things like bad button mapping to others more important things like camera control being lost or losing sidestepping abilties.

Then are absolute horrid crap that totally breaks the aiming and makes Move use worthless, like the fact the aim recalibates to centre screen evertime you press aim instead of keeping a calibrated target.  So if aim to the bottom left of the screen then press the aim button, where you in your room are aiming bottom left of the TV your character is aiming centre screen, now imagine you need shoot something in the lower left of the screen, not gonna happen.

As to why Wii cannot run RE5, large areas, Sheva AI (which most people just dunno how to use so call crap ignorantly), enemy count, enemy AI (which like Sheva most people call crap but obviously never cranked up the difficulty and played very far into the game, because they flank, retreat, alert others and so forth), the online etc etc.

Oh but hey 'graphics' is apparently the only difference between RE4 and 5.

Yeah it is good to see Capcom attempt to market DSC worked on some people.

Yeah Capcom played you good and proper.  Earlier quotes from him

"I don’t think Resident Evil 5 would transition well onto the Wii. This is our first time moving the franchise onto next generation consoles so this is our Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 debut and a lot of the focus with the developers was pushing that hardware as far as they could possibly take it. Some of our main points in the game are online co-op, absolutely amazing graphics, and the capabilities of the AI and the sheer number of enemies that can be on the screen at the same time."

Oh but two weeks before DSC releases (not months before when already knew how it looked) and suddenly he says DSC looks so good maybe even RE5 could be done too?  This is PR for DSC plain and simple.

I think they meant a version that actually resembles the source game... even though the source game's look (look, not the entire game) was just a beefed up version of a GC game.

Nope what they mean is that 3DS has support for all the DirectX/ Opengl extensions needed to run source code of RE5.

The Pica200 GPU is still fixed function, muchlike the Wii's TEV, but it has many fixed shader extensions that work like Direct3D 9.
