Do you know what I see in this thread when I read the posts made by all the 'nay-sayers'?

FEAR

Fear, because they know it can happen. Fear, because they know it will most likely happen. Fear, because they don't want to lose one game they thought was untouchable by the Wii.

Every "Lol" or "I needed a good laugh" is but only a front to try and bolster their wavering courage and hide their dread, hoping like-minded others will rally to their aid and help chase away these annoying inklings in their minds that tell them this can and will most likely happen.

The Wii has shown us it has the superior controls for a Resident Evil style game. This is not debateable, only children dare contest this point with any confidence. The only factor that remains now is whether you as an individual value superior controls or not.

Resident Evil 4 has outsold Capcom's life long expectations for it on the Wii in just two months. It continues to not only exceed expectations but sell steadily and threatens to sell well over a million units in the entirety of its live span if not by the end of this year alone. To think Capcom would ignore this success after so confidently boasting they would be dedicating the lion's share of their development to the Wii and DS this generation is just somewhat naive.

Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles has been stated by Capcom as being the litmus test for future Resident Evil games on the Wii, take this to assume whatever you must, but anyone with an even remotely objective mind can see this making clear and direct reference to future main series games much ales a RE5 port for the Wii. Umbrella Chronicles will sell phenomenally, if for no other reason than the final mission at the end which unveils the events leading up to RE4. The Wii will return Capcom's modest confidence seven fold and they will have no choice but to concede, however they decide to do so.

Resident Evil 5 will admittedly not be anywhere near as good as RE4, it lacks the director, the team, and Nintendo's support that RE4 had, it will be a quite inferior game, but it will still be a good game and I still want it as do other RE fans. We want to play it using the Wii-mote, the way we now know from RE4, third person shooters were meant to be played. Umbrella Chronicles will be splendid, but its not enough, we want the game we deserve and have earned. This is not a simple matter of equal distribution of unique games, its a matter of the Wii owns the market now. The 360 and PS3 are little more than the eye candy-engines for lapsed gamers whose dated notions of graphics before the game and brand-name allegances have only betrayed them time and time again.

What this is really about, what it has always been, is that you up until now have convinced yourselves that having inferior sales was okay so long as you had the "big boy" games, but now that the Wii threatens to take even that from you as well, your forced to re-evaluate your perspective on gaming once more and give up even a little more of your pride.

There is a long time before RE5 comes out, some say as late as 2009, so by all means in the mean time, Keep fearing. Keep despairing. Keep loathing. Because you know as well as I this game if not its successor will most likely be on the Wii.

Signed.

RE5 has been delayed cause were also making a Wii version.



Capcom will be too busy making the PSP version to make another wii one ;)

I cant see it a version of RE5 working on the wii anyway, the game should be built from the ground up to utilise the power of the 360/PS3, that should be their primary objective. Making it port-able to the Wii would just limit their options.

I cant see Capcom ignoring the Wii with RE games anyway, im sure it will see a few more titles from the franchise, most probably ones built around a treaked RE4 engine.

By the way, why isnt leo-j banned? He spends far too much time 'shitting' on wii threads when he is obviously in love with his PS3.

How many games have we got this gen that wouldn't work on the Wii, if they just downgraded the graphics to RE4 levels? There are a few like Dead Rising and Lair that have a huge amount of stuff flying around the screen, but that's about it. Tweaking the visuals would easily allow games like Gears of War, Heavenly Sword, or Assassin's Creed to run on the Wii. Of course many of those are under exclusive contract or whatever, but my point is that multiplats like this coming to the Wii as well is hardly ridiculous, and more like inevitable in many cases.

All this is especially true with Resident Evil 5. Have you seen the trailer? They just took the RE4 engine, turned the Ganados black, and increased the resolution. There are going to be games that actually use the horsepowers of the HD consoles for something useful, but this does not look like one of them. 



Considered done, I do it also for a dear friend of mine who simply adores RE4 on the WII and is so much hoping for a RE5 release on the WII ;)

I never said he was fired, I said he was removed from the Resident Evil series and he was.

No, he wasn't removed from the series either. Did you not read what I just wrote? He left Capcom in the capacity that he was to work with Clover Studios. After Capcom dissolved that studio and opened Seeds, Mikami shifted over there.

What the hell? Bud, just because a game gets great reviews or is GOTY does not make it a good Resident Evil game. When I play a game that has RE in the title I have expectations and he strayed too far from the roots of the series (Which CAPCOM themselves admitted). RE4 as a standalone game was fine, but as a RE game blew balls.

I'll grant you personal opinion but you happen to be in a very small minority on the opposite side of millions that proclaim it the best in the series. After gamers had began complaining the series was growing stale with the same formula, the creator reinvented his own wheel.

does anyone know the name of the creator for RE4

Shinji Mikami

Yeah, except it's also on the PS2.

And the PSP too but that's not the point. Would this game have been put on GC a few years ago? Or any other Rockstar game? They put Smugglers Run: Warzones on it in 2002. The first and last game from Rockstar on the GC. Now they have 3 games in development in the first year alone for Wii. My point is the notions adhered to last generation no longer apply. To claim a DMC title will never hit the Wii is to completely ignore the reality of change that has happened in the past year.
