It's not inexcusable, it's just a silly decision. They couldn't wait to give the PS2 RE4, because PS2 could produce results similar to the original consoles version, could sell a fuck load of 3rd party software, and was absolutely dominating it's competition marketshare-wise... Combined. It was an easy port. RE5 wont be so easy, because well... The game is one of the best looking titles available on the 2 HD consoles. If Nintendo made a console that was on par visually with the 360 or PS3, then it would have had RE5 along with the 2 HD consoles. |
The graphics is not a reason not to make the game. The RE games are about atmoshpere, not polygon count.
Furthermore, Wii graphics have been improving in effects and textures (polygon count doesn't matter, since RE on the 3DS has far fewer polygons than RE5, and it still gets acclaim for how it looks), so even that's not a factual excuse anymore, even if it wasn't valid before then.
" It was an easy port."
That shows you didn't actually read any of the interviews before the PS2 version came out. They had to redo all the graphics from the ground up. That is not easy by any definition. So the effort is not a true factor either.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
