Forums - Nintendo - Is it likely that Dead Rising Wii can live up to RE 4: Wii?

From what I have seen, Dead Rising has little chance of being as good as RE 4 wii and if it ends up bombing, could this prove that Capcom is losing dedication to Nintendo's platform?  There is little argument that Capcom sides with HD consoles more with the releases of Lost Planet and DMC 4, but if that company decides to stop developing for that platform, Nintendo would lose alot of thunder with the hardcore crowd. 

You cannot deny that the Resident Evil series made a big impact on the Gamecube's library.

Definitely won't be as high quality of a game as RE4.

But with the little additions they're making, like the zombie dogs and the zombies that are twice your size, it could still be a fun game, just not quite 'Dead Rising'.



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

I don't think if it bombs it will be a sign of Capcom losing dedication, it will just be a game that bombs.  Dead Rising Wii is nothing more than a quick grab for cash that when first planned was a no brainer cash cow, now it's a giant risk.



It's the quality of the game that will tell us if Capcom has any dedication to the Wii. If the game sucks, it's because they weren't dedicated enough to do the game properly, and just tried to cram the 360 game onto the disc in the fastest, cheapest way possible.



Veder Juda is hand crafted from EPIC FAIL, and is a 96% certified Looney; the other 4% is a work in progress.

I highly doubt it. Chop Till You Drop is essentially the 360 game wedged onto the RE4 engine. It may turn out decent but given the omissions from the original game, I cannot see it being as good as RE4 Wii Edition.

As good as RE4 - No.
If bombs, will Capcom leave Wii - No.

Not every game is going to be a million seller. Capcom is barely using the RE4 engine on this game anyway. Where the hell is the lighting effects? Everything is flat shaded. That tells me they haven't even touched the TEV which RE4 made good use of.



The rEVOLution is not being televised

With Dead Rising 2 announced for everything except Wii no one even cares about this low-quality port anymore.



Yeah, that's certainly not helping it any.

I gotta call it being nothing more than that. They are dedoing the game. A quick cash-in would mean something that can easily be done. Considering they were remaking a game that required a whole extra CPU core just to run its AI onto a single core system, this could not have been a no brainer.

The game could suck, but don't assume Capcom is just doing this for a quick buck. They have game collections for that.

This game likely didn't cost a lot to make, but that's not a cash-in. That's because they have most of the assets already made. It was just a matter of remaking the models for both the engine, and the Wii specs.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
