From a programmer's perspective, I can tell you that if they wanted to port RE5 to the Wii, they would have to add at least another 12 months to replace textures, effects,etc. I don't think it will happend. IMO the series will either split in half and Wii will get a different story (like RE0 - not a spinoff) or the next iteration will be on the Wii.

| Gelmer said: 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. |
You know what I see? A bunch of ignorant fanboys.
Do you really think it's as simple as a press of a button to port something from the PS3/360 to the Wii that wasn't planned from the beginning to be ported to the Wii? Sure going from the PS2/Gamecube to the Wii and PS3 to the 360 and vice versa are all easy but not PS3/360 to Wii.
First off they will have to remake *every* model and texture. After getting everything down to something the Wii can handle they would then have to go into every level and optimize it for the Wii. That would mean taking out objects and more than likely number of enemies on screen. Both of those things together would take a lot of time and a lot of effort and if RE5 isn't anything compared to RE4 then it just won't be worth the incredible effort.
I would love to have RE5 on the Wii as much as the next person due to the great controls but it just aint gonna happen. Call me scared, whatever, all I know is it is being made as a 360/PS3 game and just will not work on the Wii. There is no easy/i] button that magically dumbs everything down to Wii standards.

I am not so sure REUC will do so well. The story and graphics may be good, but I like to explore my environment. With it being on rails, I am not really interested in it.
I believe Capcom will release it on Wii too, even tough they have to downgrade it into Wii power level. They don't have any reason NOT to release it on Wii. All RE main stories was on GC, and some of them, RE0 And RE1 remake are GC exclusive. Wii is GC backward compatible, so why not continue the series on Wii? Though the graphic will not as good as others, but it has better control for RE games. And the console install base (especially in Japan) is much better too.
If it is not released on Wii it will be released on N6, i guarantee it.

Did you completely miss the part where they would have to more or less remake everything in the game to port it to the Wii? That seems like a pretty huge reason not to. It was worth moving RE4 from GC to PS2 to Wii because their power was about equal or greater but when you're going down it's A LOT harder. It wouldn't be some 6 month to a year project, it would be closer to 1 1/2 to 2 years and that just isn't worth it for a port.
As I said, don't take me as a Wii hater, I loved RE4 on the Wii and would love to play RE5 on the Wii but sometimes you just kind of have to live in the realm of reality and relieve it isn't going to happen. Even with the game being released in late 2009 there still wouldn't be enough time for them to make everything Wii compatible since they would have to a whole other team.
One by one you try and feign confidence to the contrary but you all know too well it is going to happen. So what if we have to wait 12 months, there is more than enough time to wait for that. And since they'd more than make their money back on the money that would have to be put into making a Wii version, I don't see the problem here.
The Wii version would be far more profitable than the others, will be far superior to play as and will most importantly of all, be a sure fire success. I'm sorry you're so threatened by the Wii having a game you thought was yours alone, I guess you'll just have to learn how to share like big boys and girls. The fact you have to cry out at us, "Isn't Umbrella Chronicles good enough for you" Already shows your in one of the symbolic stages of denial, bargaining.
The Wii's penetration and underbase alone are more than enough to ensure irresistable appeal for such a venture and after all the money Capcom has sunk into the game thus far, a little extra to make a Wii grade version isn't as ridiculous as you claim it is, especially when you look at how much more money it will make them than the 360 or Ps3 versions.
And let's face it, the more hostile and more immature your replies are, the more it just shows your true fear. hehe. This is the generation that made the impossible possible. And I would wager that most of you who say that RE5 can't come to the Wii also said twelve months ago that the Wii could never be number one on the market this generation. But low and behold.
Something tells me this is going to be a tough generation for the lapsed 360 & PS3 gamers who have to look at the Wii and just ask, "How?".
Sign the Resident_Evil_5_Petition for a Wii release or Dark_Samus is going to come get you.
