AFAIK their aren’t any gameplay pics out yet.

As for you trying to Photoshop an RE5 pic, just how on earth will you downgrade the textures to try give you an accurate representation of how it could look on the Wii?

Just shrinking the pic from 1280x720 to 720x480 would not give you a realistic result.

 Actually when i said graphics I meant textures and draw distance. It is only harder to downgrade if you are using a different engine. The wii could run stuff on the downgraded engine they have. I forgot to mention AI. Physics doesn't seem too much of a problem seeing as the wii has a seperate chip that runs between the gpu and cpu for physics and if this isnt enough they could use some of the cpu for physics  too. The AI I guess they would have to build a new engine for but that would probaly be the hardest thing and If they are working on a wii version It wouldn't take more than a year to remake the AI. The reason why they use the 360 to make games first is because the ps3 is so much harder to develop for and you don't see too much of a difference on pc  when they upgrade the 360 version. 

Ever heard of the blur-tool?

Anyway... have any screenshot then? By the way... since when zombies needed high degrees of AI? 

Here's a screenshot of the game:

 AFAIK Capcom use's their Frame Work engine for most games, which is a mainly a PC engine but it's the same one that Lost Planet used, it's also the same one they used for DMC4, as I'd assume they would use the same engine for RE5.

As for what you say about the wii, they may as well just build the engine from the fround up for the wii, that would in the end yeild better results and it'll be much easier than try to optimise an engine designed for high specs for a low spec machine.

By the pic you shown Chrizum I think it wouldn't be too much too downgrade the graphics most of it would be textures and etc. The wii might handle it at about 40-50 fps if you downgrade it about 1.5 times and maybe 60fps if you downgrade it about 2 times. But this is all speculation so I wouldn't know for sure.

 All the screen shots I've seen have just been high res reders or just shots from the trialer.

Also who's to say you'll just fight zombies, or for that matter that the zombies are brain dead, I mean giving them more AI means they'll react more realistically rather than just through animation loops.

Yes, because we all know that Capcom will port the game to the Wii by basically having to redo an HD game which will take months and money because 33,000 people want it.

I will try and say this delicately

A game that will pride itself so largely upon graphical strengths, and involve large crowds of zombies throwing tomahawks in HD currently will only work on the PS3 and XBOX360.

Now you could argue that the wii (with the largest userbase) deserves its own version - but IMO you would be wrong.

this entire thread title sounds ignorant to me. Of course Capcom isn't saying anything. The company probably remains somewhat idealistic and artistic in the way they create games and story lines. and they do not want to sacrifice the game to put it on the wii

What is the best way to present a game in all of its glory in every possible aspect (other than motion controls)? Through the PS3 and 360.

I am not even sure a wii version would make the most money since alot of the wii fanbase are very casual and might only buy 1 or 2 games a year. I know most of you on this site would buy it, but you are not the main wii demographic.

If you are fighting for this game to be on the wii- you are fighting for a lost cause.

Maybe resident evil 5 wii chronicals will come out. and dissapoint once again.

Keep in mind Residen evil 5 is not resident evil 4, this is a new gaming generation not comparable to the PS2 or gamecube.

Resident evil 5 will not come to the wii, and capcom knows exactly what they are doing by saying nothing to this silly petition.

Thanks to valuable member Chizum who provided a good screenshot of the game. By analyzing the screenshot closely, the game is not that good looking. Just reduce textures, reduce the ridiculous amount of HDR (or bloom... if it's bloom then you can leave it), reduce resolution and set framerate to 30 frames per second and your set.

The best looking thing on that game is the character's hair. And for the record, if we haven't seen actual gameplay footage, we can't say that the AI/physics will be too complex for Wii.
