There's nothing REALLY holding it back, unless RE5 features hundreds of enemies on screen at once, which no previous RE has ever done. The graphics can be scaled down. If they were willing to scale down the GC version for the PS2, there's nothing stopping them from doing the same for the Wii. On another note, when was the last time we even saw new media for RE5? According to IGN, the last new media seen was basically the only media seen: at the TGS 2005 when the trailer was shown off. This was still before developers had final PS3 hardware (and we're seeing the ramifications of that in the newest Lair media). I'm not saying RE5 will go the way of Dead Phoenix (it's a new kid icarus game, LOLOL!) but I wouldn't be placing any bets on it until we see some new media, which we haven't seen in nearly two years now. I don't think the notion that Capcom has placed it on the back burner is too hard to believe right now. It's also odd that Capcom showed off nothing for RE5 at their latest game show. The only console that received any RE love was the Wii. |

It would be a re-wire. They would basically have to re-create RE5 on the RE4 engine. Wich would most likely require a complete remodel of everything. Basically adding a 2-3 year dev cycle to create this 'port' But by the time it would be done, it would be a 'remake' of RE5, and not a port, becuase of the massive ammounts of money/investment in it.
