lord i don't know what your trying to prove, yes it could be done but it won't be the same expierience. Easy as that, so it won't happen because Capcom does not want to. Also ps2 and gamecube difference are not as big as ps3 to wii.

Can anyone provide a link to either a game that uses 720p on the Wii, or some valid proof that it can do so, 'cause from what I've seen it only does 480i/p and 576i/p PAL.
polishforlife said: If you mean exactly the same, duh. The point is it would might come close. Haven't reviews mentioned that aside from graphics, the game isn't that much different than the PS2 games? It was a good things for them, but it does mean it wouldn't be out of means for the Wii. Easy as that, so it won't happen because Capcom does not want to. No, the producer (or director) said he doesn't want to. That's certainly not the same as Capcom itself. Also ps2 and gamecube difference are not as big as ps3 to wii. So there would be a bigger difference graphically. So what? It still would cost a fraction of the source game. |
Again, Capcom may choose not to, but you're trying to prove the game would have to be radically altered. It doesn't work that way. There was an even bigger difference between the Dreamcast and the PS1, but by trying to make games for both, the PS1 got some of its most impressive games (like Soul Reaver).
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

But until they annouce it i'll stick to my story. Title is "could dmc4 could be done on the wii" not is it going to be the same because it won't be same. The only thing i argue it would only take a lot time to rework it, not like xbox version which can be easiely ported. ps version of soul reaver was possible because it was done first and then ported to dreamcast not the other way around.

I'm not arguing it will be the same. I'm just pointing out a lot of you are assuming a larger difference than the comparative specs indicate.
The Wii isn't just a last gen system. It has similar specs, but the components are based on the efficiency standards now, not then. Of course the 360 and PS3 get the same benefits, but the point is that the Wii does too.

I've seen the specs and there it is a difference
Processors:
wii
CPU: , reportedly† clocked at 729 MHz
GPU: ATI GPU made 243 MHz
Those are for xbox(original)
CPU 733 MHz Intel Pentium III-based Mobile Celeron
GPU 233 MHz nVidia NV2A
So wii may be more powerful than xbox by being more efficient and can could handle the gameplay but it wouldn't be the similar and had to cut things out.
It doesn't have similar specs to Ps3 or Xbox360. Period.

They might have the same name but they aren't ports. You have to redo the game. Table Tennis wasn't as good on the Wii as it was on the 360. If you have to dumb down the game it's not the same game. FF7 on NES might have the same story but it wouldn't be the same game. Multiplatform gams on the Wii are not using the same engine. I just wish people would accept that the Wii is not current-gen graphics capable and move on with your life. If you want to play those games, buy a PS3 or 360.

"The Wii isn't just a last gen system. It has similar specs, but the components are based on the efficiency standards now, not then. Of course the 360 and PS3 get the same benefits, but the point is that the Wii does too."
This is what I wrote. It does not claim that the Wii has similar specs than the 360 and PS3. It just points out that the components with those specs are still five years ahead of the 6th gen systems.
For one thing, the Wii and Xbox's CPU have the same speeds, but the Wii's CPU uses less electricity, and is overall more powerful. And according to unofficial reports, the Wii's CPU has the execution unit's which add to the processing the CPU can do. The Xbox's CPU could not handle all the Wii channels.
For another, the Wii has as much memory as the Xbox and Gamecube combined. That means it has merely a fifth as much memory as the PS3 and 360, while the actual sitxh gen systems have an eigth at best.
As for GPUs, of course it's not enough having half the clock speed, and simply having more pixel and shading pipelines, but it still puts it well ahead of the 6th gen GPUs.
In short, the Wii of course can't match the PS3 and 360. Yet its specs are not as far behind them as systems an actual generation behind.

It'd oddly be better looking though.

Was that a knock to FFVII or something else?
Just curious.
