RE4 was made and optimized for the gamecube. Gamecube is very similar to wii so porting it was a breeze. This was optimized for PC/360 and then downgraded untill it could run on the Wii. This is the fate of any PS3/360 port coming to wii. RE5 on the wii anyone? |
That's incorrect. This game was built on the PS2 and built on the PC in parallel, then ported to the Wii from the PS2 and the 360/PS3 from the PC. So this isn't a downgrade to the Wii version, but rather a separate version built from a separate developer. Of course, PS2 ports don't make it inherintly bad, but they make it hard to be as excited for the game. |
Oh wow. What happened then? Hopefully its still in earrly development... |
Well the information above does state that the pictures are at least 5 months old so they could have improved quite a bit but as long as they develop from the PS2 and port to the Wii it won't be as good as if it was built ground up on the Wii.
The PS2's success and longevity didn't just murder the GC it's crippling the Wii's support as developers can try to cash in by making it on the PS2 first and taking advantage of the two biggest console userbases active right now.
