Forums - Gaming - New Resident Evil 5 video

Here we go again. -_-

The whole argument about RE5 making it to the Wii is not based on the hardware being as powerful as the HD consoles, but rather that the game looks like it's basically RE4 in HD, and there's probably not going to be anything that wouldn't run if the eye candy was cut down a bit.

Would it be much harder than porting between the HD consoles? Definitely. Much harder than porting RE4 to the PS2.

Would it still be a lot cheaper than making a game from scratch? Of course. They could re-use all the voice acting and other audio, (the hopefully excellent) level design, and a percentage of the textures and other crap that is probably smaller than they'd want, but still way more than the zero some people are suggesting.

Will they do it? Probably not, but saying it's impossible is just plain stupid. This is Capcom we're talking about, and they have a history of turning their exclusives into multiplats, not to mention being one of the last third parties to give serious support to the Gamecube.

Looks like the Wii version of the game

I'd rather they just develop a new Wii RE game with an upgraded RE4 engine. Something like Resident Evil: Return of Nemesis.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Hey hey people, I never said that I actually believed that there will be a Wii RE5 game....I don't even like the RE games (yes, I have the Wii RE4 game, tried it but it wasn't for me but my bro liked it so we kept the game). All I just said was that the comment "there's no chance it's coming on Wii" just made me feel jaded about past memories...of a time when the Ninty fanboys were the immature brats who believed that their systems were so superior to the PS2 that they believed that there was no chance RE4 would go to that system...but it did.

All I am trying to say is that when will people stop saying "this is impossible" or "that is impossible" and just accept that anything is possible? Even if you believe it won't happen, then just say "I don't believe it will happen." But at least admit that there is a chance. But instead, you guys go on your tirade....just like the Gamecube fans of the past did. They did the same "this system has this graphics card while your puny system has that card. Therefore, I win!!"

Look, you prolly right that RE5 will never be on the Wii. Most likely. But since when was it a crime to think about things and rationalize? Look at what Parokki just said. Yes, it would be difficult to port compared to GC - PS2, but its cheaper than doing it from scratch. And everyone knows how Capcom loves to make money, even if it means making exclusives into multiplatform games. And even he admits they would prolly not. But at least he can admit it can happen.

Remember: The mind is like a parachute. They work best when they are OPEN.

As usual, Parokki is a voice of reason. I think a port is almost guaranteed, although it might come much later.

Any idea what program they were using there? Looks sort of like 3D Studio Max but I'm not sure.

Might be 3D Studio Max, might also be Maya. Most CAD/3D software is very customizable so the layout of the toolbars, buttons, etc. could be changed by the user. I'm interested to know for sure what programs they use for 3D modeling.



I wonder if this game is gonna raise a lot of racism-related criticism. Probably. Seeing as how this big bulky well-equipped white American mercilessly shoots down black youngsters and housewives...

That video looks great. I believe that is one of the first areas of the game if not the first area of the game. The people are not attacking Chris yet because the story has not yet been revealed. I really do not think the company wants to make a video halfway through the game which would ruin some hype of the game by creating speculation over future events.

^^Well, I did remember one reporter bringing that point up a while ago....forgot when...but yeah I think people (not referring to you Cheebee, just the media in general) need to realize that there comes a point when criticizing something due to it being "possibly racist" is in of itself being racist. Just my point of view.

Did you just call someone with a Cirno avatar a voice of reason? Damn, I need a smarter looking avatar now. =P
