Explain to the Wii guys why RE5 likely wont be seen on Wii. |
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.
"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks
