Only if:

1) Dead Rising sell at least 1 million copies on the Wii
2) RE5 underperform on the HD consoles (less than 2 million combined sales)

The Wii may get a RE5 complete edition just like Code Veronica on the PS2.

All that said I want a original version, one that is more than a RE4 rip off.

 

okay, let's get over ourself here. ;)

Now that Dead Rising is going to the Wii. the possibility is alive

I wished they upgrade the RE4 engine before that (it hasn't been upgraded in Dead Rising properly)

I think a Resident Evil built with the Wii in mind from the ground up would be much better. Still what is the extent of the wiis graphics capabilities? Still somewhat of a mystery agreed?

It's better than most people suspect.

If they think they can make a profit from porting it to the Wii, then I don't see why they wouldn't. They already tried it with RE4. And I'd imagine Dead Rising's ability to perform will have an impact on this decision. If Dead Rising moves 350k+, I'd bet a RE5 port would be a bit more promising.

Capcom has announced they expect 500k in sales.  That's less than what they predicted for both RE4 Wii and RE: UC (450k each) and both are million sellers.

 

 



The rEVOLution is not being televised

I don't think they could port it without seriously compromising the entire game, to a degree which you probably wouldn't WANT to play it.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Aside from compromising the graphics...what else would be compromised? If it dropped to RE4 level graphics, I don't think that would really be a bad thing.

Yes it will.

1. Every game from Capcom that has been put on the Wii has exceeded their expectations.

2. RE4:Wii Edition, a 2 yr old game, has outsold its original platform.

3. Dead Rising is being ported. It was an exclusive 360 game and has been ported to be Wii centric. Granted it may turn out to be crap, but it looks good so far and with the exception of lighting and shadows, it looks to be the same overall game.

4. Have you seen the latest video comparison between RE4 and RE5? They are almost the same game with the obvious location differences. Granted RE5 has much better lighting and some more detail. However, as shown with Dead Rising you can turn down some of those affects and make the rest of the system work just fine.

I guarantee there will be an RE5:Wii Edition with much better controls and some new levels for Wii announced either before the RE5 HD versions launch or within a few months afterword.

After how awful the latest RE5 videos look I don't even want it on my Wii. It's certainly not going to ever go into my PS3.

Indeed re4 was a great looking game but.... They would need to do a lot more then just lower texture rez to make this work on Wii. There would need to be a serious poly count drop as well.

Obviously some of you missed this video....
