Forums - Nintendo - Resident Evil 5 producer - Wii couldn’t handle title screen of RE5

Some facts here.

1. If the title screen is in 720 or 1080, then the PS2 and Wii (480) cannot handle them. Pure and simple HD resolution issue.

2. Many developers are insecure and inarticulate -- and those who live on graphics feel threatened by the Wii.

3. The Wii was released two years ago. It became obvious only in the last year that it would outsell each of the HD consoles, and may top them combined. Thus, there has been less time for developers to switch, especially long-term projects.

4. Given the market segmentation, HD or Wii -- not all games are going to come to each category. What this does mean is that with a Wii and either HD console, you will get access to 95 percent of all releases.

5. The Wii can't do things the Xbox 360 and PS3 can do.

6. The Wii can do things the Xbox 360 and PS3 can't too.

7. Name calling will get you no where in life -- except maybe the back of the line or out of job.

8. Joining these forums to troll/insult/etc. is not advised. The Mods here patrol.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

A shame what they did with RE5. Its all become graphical. Does no one else think the whole premise of this story has been milked dry? Even with RE4, shifting to Europe was far fetched. Africa just further alienates what this series was about. This is starting to get worse than the multiple iterations of Freddy Kruger movies. No wonder why Silent Hill overtook the crown for horror games. I have a feeling that this game isn't going to be as big of a deal as the previous RE games.



i dont see the problem. its just a guy saying the wii couldnt do HD graphics which we knew anyway. yes id love to play RE5 with the wii controls and i think capcom should do it since the other titles in the franchise sold 1 million + each. but its not the end of the world . plus i dont get the capcom hate. in the early days they were the best third party with titles like zak and wiki. they have already commited themselves to being great supporters of the wii and their unnanounced titles may bring them up to sega's level. we already have 2 possible AAA titles in spyborgs and Monsetr Hunter tri. as long as the wii gets great games i dont mind too much what the publisher gives other consoles



 nintendo fanboy, but the good kind

Maybe he was exaggerating to sell his game. Or maybe he is right. Either way, stopped getting all worked up, Wiiboys.



# of games above 75 on Metacritic (including downloadable):

360: 241     DS: 144

PS3: 152     PSP: 126

Wii: 85

there goes fanboys again.

yes graphics are not everything

the thing is games like Resident evil 5 are not only pretty graphics but great gameplay.

and with co op much better!

 Trestres got owned a lot it is pretty easy to do that.






I keep hearing that "wait until the developers shift to Wii!" arguement by wii fanboys ,but its clear thats not happening.

HD gaming sells more games that Wii gaming ,and many many more third party titles that Wii does.Plus ,this is a technology driven industry and developers wont abandon their investments in high end development tools and programming talent just to accomodate to the Wii technology....they will keep supporting the HD consoles and PC and throw some lame spin-offs and 2-3 original games here and there on the Wii.

Current difference in games over 80+ for 360 and PS3 against WII is massive ,and if wii fanboys think it wont get bigger and bigger as years pass they are only fooling themselves .



@Diomedes1976 what about all those JRPG's?






And oh yeah you have a point PS3 or X360 look to have more 80+ games at the end of the generation.
