The odd thing is that this is exactly the kind of question that videogame "Journalists" should have asked countless times, but they're too busy complaining about how Nintendo is ruining the industry to do their job ...

Seriously, how many "Journalists" have asked "The Wii is the fastest selling videogame console in history, remained (essentially) sold out for two years, had unprecidented E3 excitment when it was first demonstrated, and most multi-console owners have a Wii which should indicate that it has a pretty large conventional gamer audience. Why are the only conventional games made by capcom in popular genres for the Wii ports of games that were released on previous generation consoles, or awful ports of HD console games?" ... The same "Journalists"who bitch that these games don't exist seem to have no capacity to ask why they don't exist.

Capcom is successful on PS3 and Xbox360, just check the sales:

• Dead Rising (Xbox360) 1.65 million
• Street Fighter (PS360) millionseller on both platforms for sure
• Resident Evil (PS360) probably more than 2 million on both platforms
• Lost Planet (Xbox360) 1.75 million

Some great numbers, right?

Games to be released:

• Bionic Commando (PS360)
• Lost Planet 2 (Xbox360)

I bet, both will sell great as well. Games like Dead Rising, Bionic Commando or Lost Planet wouldn't sell on the Wii. Check Madworld, check HotD. Even Street Fighter would not sell on the Wii. Capcom has some "hardcore" games and they are releasing their hardcore games on the "hardcore" platforms. That just makes sense.

@wfz - fair enough. i didn't know you already owned the game. The AI co-op in RE5 is fucking retarded.

Typically you do not need to ask questions that anyone with 2 brain cells can answer by themselves....

PS : Why exactly would Wii multi console owners care about Wii ports ? They are multi console owners for god sake. That point does not make any sense at all....

I find this comment very odd being that most "Hardcore" games are no more difficult that the "Casual" games that I have seen lots of people bash ...

Even if that's sarcasm, your baseless belittling of me is really getting annoying.

@Ail, the MG was my favorite weapon throughout the game, so I never gave it to her. :P I was crippled on ammo for that as well though. I guess I wasted most of my ammo while playing with my friend.

I think part of the problem is that I went almost the entire game with my friend online, and then had to convert to AI sheva on the last level. She's nowhere near playing with a real human who you can communicate with.

Did either of you guys find the game scary or moody at all? Maybe it was because I was playing with my friend online, and then having a horrible time with Sheva, but I never found the game to have any scary or shocking moments. I was hoping it'd at least be a bit more moody like RE4, but this game is really nothing, nothing at all like the originals in almost any way, which I was disappointed to find out. Like I said earlier, it makes perfect sense story wise (with the deveolping of super humans) but I wish it was still a survivor horror game. =\

Why play this when you can play Left4Dead?

So anyone with 2 braincells should understand why a company chooses to make products with the smallest market at the highest costs possible? I'm certain that the CEO's at Midway are so happy that they ignored the Wii and entered into Chapter 11 rather than risk making games that weren't HD ... I bet Take-Two's shareholders are entirely willing to accept that their investments are tanking because pixel effects are so important ...

Secondly, who said anything about ports?

A multi-console owner might have been interested in a spin-off of Dead Rising rather than a third rate port

In RE4 I LOVED the QTE's. They turned boooring cutscenes into somthing exciting. Now some fanboys want to trash those very same QTE's in RE5? BS alert!

Also I want you to think back to the SNES era: Secret of Mana. Now in secret of Mana you had allies. Now THAT was some retarded allies. But when you played this game with friends it was one of the best multiplayer game ever made. Without that multiplayer the game would have been just another forgetable Zelda Clone.

Fast forward to Resident Evil 5 Where yes somtimes Sheva acts retarded. It's only a Minor annoyance for what could be the best co-op experiance of all time.

@ Happy. The Wii has a bigger marketshare the PS360PC combined? Midway hasn't had a hit since Mortal Kombat that's why they went under.

 He didnt ask about a DS version...

I didn't expect the game to be scary so I wasn't surprised...

I have spent over 90 hours playing the game and all that time solo so I never had to deal with anything else than Sheva AI so I guess I learned the tricks rather quickly. The only issue I really had were she using too much handgun ammo at the start and she does have some problem in pro mode in the Wesker/Jill fight but that is really about it.

I really am not lying when I say I can stand in middle of the village and snipe majinis 40 yards away and Sheva AI will kill anything that ever gets within 5 feet of me....( even on later levels it is the same). She is not that great against dogs but to be honest I probably suck as bad as she does against them so I can't really fault her there....

And to answer why play this ?

Because I am totally addicted to mercenaries mode which is the best thing ever since sliced bread !
