CoD5 and RE5 coming to Wii? Graphics card and power/memory update for Wii?

From what i have already read on other Message Boards that Call of Duty 5 will be also be on Wii this time around unlike its previous brother CoD4!

Resident Evil 5 on the Wii is just a fantasy and will not be on the Wii and will be only for the 360 and the PS3 which i think sucks as the Resident Evil game style was better sorted to the GameCube and the Wii Controllers, I've played every RE game on every console and none have felt quite right since playing on the Game Cube console.

The CGI Resident Evil movie is totally *False*!! HAHAHA I'm joking its quite real and if you look on Youtube theres a small Video of the Movie on there! Its called Resident Evil: Degeneration and yes it stars Leon S Kennedy!

Now all i need is Resident Evil 1.5 to be released on the Wii with Elza Walker in New York City on the Wii and i might be happy! OK Elza is basically Claire but Meh i liked the look of Resident evil 1.5 more so than number 2.

LOL @ RE1.5...Looked fun. It's too bad it never panned out. However, I am happy with the game they released instead.

[QUOTE="bobbetybob"]

CoD5 I can see coming, after all they have a fair emount of time to make it, the reason the last one didn't come out is because it was a different developer, this one is going back to the guys who made CoD3 therefore a Wii version is likely.

As for RE5, as much as I'd like it too I don't think it will, however it has been delayed to 2009 so who knows, they'd have enough time to make a Wii version. I definitely see a different RE game coming to Wii though, Re:UC and RE:4 have both sold well one Wii so it would be a waste for Capcom to not do it. Plus they seem to like Nintendo, what with all the RE games for Gamecube they made.

mrjam0

uh..yeah...that...and..

the wii will NEVER be able to handle these games....... It's not where near powerful enough

Why isnt it powerful enough is it just the graphics card or is it other stuff too?

An overall lack of power, the graphics card, the RAM, processor speed, lack of HD...

HD has nothing to do with it

A lot of PS3 games run like PC games where they install files on the HD. Maybe RE5 needs that to help it run smoother.

Dont blame the Hardware for companies being lazy with the Wii RE4WII! Every Nintendo game which has been made for the Wii has been nothing but beautiful! Super Mario Galaxy graphics where more spell bounding than most PS3 games! Super Smash Brothers Brawl looks beyond amazing! I think your tending to compare the PS3 graphics too much to the Wii. See it like this after a couple more months you will see better graphics on the Wii as more companies will learn how to manipulate it better than they do now and you will see big improvements.

Cheazie

Amen to that. Also, I think RE5 can be ported to the wii with RE4 Graphics. Hey, has anyone thought that maybe Capcom isn't making RE5 for wii because of the DVD storage limitation?

[QUOTE="fraz1776"]

I thoght Capcom said that they were testing the waters on Wii with RE:UC and RE4 and if they sold well (which they have) they may bring RE5 to Wii.

CoD5 would be nice but is the series going back to WWII because I'm not a fan of WWII shooters.

mrjam0

where'd u hear that?

He heard it. But he heard bad. They said they could Remake the first Resident Evils with RE4 control styles, oran Umbrella Chronicles 2.

I cannot remember which site that i read it upon but i will find the link in the next couple hours.

Yes RE:UC was on rails just like House of the Dead and Time Crisis but the game overshadows both in the entertainment department! Its good when playing by youself but excellent when playing Co-op mode! I'd reccomend renting it before you brought it as it might not be your cupper but it nicely ties up the series from 0 > 3 and explains pretty much the roots of the sadistic Umbrella corperation. Oh and i have sneaky feeling if there is a new RE game for the Wii it will be based in Russia! You will have to play the game to see why.

Cheazie

Oh, it was much different than Time crisis and deffinatly not more entertaining to me. In time crisis, you can duck into cover to dodge on coming attacks. In Umbrella chronicals, you set there and wait during a boss. And wait until the boss finally is about to attack you, then you shoot at it. Only way to do it really.

But to get back on topic. With the timeframe re5 is planned to come out and if Nintendo is smart and does a Wii 2, I believe it'll be on it instead of the current generation wii. If consoles continue to follow the 5 year generation lifespan, it could possibly come out in 2010 if they want to be first. Sony was, and microsoft was, so think its nintendos turn? Re5 in 09', and re5 on the wii 2 in 2010. Sounds reasonable.

But if treyarch does cod5? I could see it being on the wii.

COD5 is coming to the WII.

I don't think Resident Evil 5 will be coming over to the WII however. It will be awesome though with the motion sensing.

I'm sorry, but they are really never coming to Wii. The console hasn't just enough power in its belly to play this games. But it's clear that the wiimote is really great for this kind of games, so let's hope will get a new RE only for Wii. Maybe a remake of the first ones. If you never played RE before the fourth you will be surprised cause the last one is more action oriented while the others were more puzzle like,and you didn't have enough ammo to shoot everybody down.vivi2000

Holy moly. Thats what.. EVERYONE says... They might remake RE5 for wii, with the RE4 engine. I'd be fine with that. so long as it controlled the same. I'm happy as can be.

If the Wii will be albe to handle Monster Hunter 3, I think it will be able to handle anykind of games...

Oh and force unleashed....

I totally agree RE5 needs to be on the wii.Check this out http://www.petitiononline.com/WiiRes5/ its a petition for people trying to get RE5 on the wii.I would buy a 360, there fun but just way to many break downs.damaster101

omg... i love you! Signed :D:D
Thats another reason I dont want to buy a 360, + I dont have $600 lyin around.

How much do I want RE games on Wii, ill show you.

Yesterday I wrote Capcom a message on their site asking if there were possibilities that RE5 and another RE game would come to the Wii anytime soon, and whether it was just a problem with the Wii's graphics and power. They replied today:

I don't think you are dreaming, 2008 has just started, and the surprises are far from over. We already seen some, and it's not stopping anytime soon. Remember folk, the Wii is more powerfull than what people think and without question stronger than the Xbox, hey the GC was on par with it. I would provide links to back up my staments, but I'm tired of trying to prove my points.

We were saying that the xbox is more powerful than the Wii in the sense it can handle those high graphic games and has more memory/ram etc. You dont think it is, how come?

I don't think the motion controls revolutionize the industry. Their small flicks of the wrist that replace buttons but are less responsive. Graphical enhancment is also not revolutionary except for the big 2D to 3D evolution which did literally revolutionize games. The motion controls haven't been adapted very well, the technology has been around and Nintendo some what half assed the Wii. Their next console will expand on the motion controls hopefully expanding them, and hopefully they will think of processing power because the lack of technology in the Wii holds itself back from titles like COD4 and RE5. Why Nintendo would want to limit their console makes no sense.

The Wii has a few fantastic games, only from Nintendo themselves, everything else they have to offer from the library is crap. No More Heroes isn't revolutionary, flick of the wrist to slice someone in half, woop'de'do. At least Mario and Zelda still rock.

I think you don't know what you are talking about. Don't trust reviews, play the games yourself. A good number of third party games have great control schemes, but game sites didn't bother to learn how to use them.

COD 3 & 5 on the wii

COD 2 & 4 not on the wii

COD 3 & 5 made by treyarch or other random studio

COD 2 & 4 made by infinity ward :D

theres a bit of a pattern happening here,

also infinity ward is the original developer of the COD series and they are the ones who make the good versions whilst the other company does a somewhat poorer job.

I dont care if CoD5 looks poorer than the rest, id just like to have some nice long gameplay, aswell as great online (unlike mohh2)
Lets hope its still coming to Wii

mrjam0

where'd u hear that?

Q: We gave Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition an excellent score. Why isn't Capcom bringing RE5 to Wii? As we seen with that game, impressive graphics can be done on that platform as well.

A: Decisions surrending the RE5 project were taken a long time ago [perhaps even before Nintendo unveiled Wii-mote?] and they needed to choose quickly on which platform they wanted to develop it. They haven't decided if they will port RE5 on Wii yet. So in a way this game (RE4:Wii); well both games [I think the translator switched Kawata's words to point out both games] will help us to test the market, to see if developing this genre on this platform is interesting. The decision is not made yet.

great online? :|

currently, wii's online is bare bone and hardly worth talkign about. and adding motion sensing=/=making it more fun. it could possibly be made worse

Didn't Nintendo have a contract or agreement with Capcom that stated that all resident evil games were going to be made for Nintendo?DJSAV_101

apprently not because re5 is ps3 and 360 only

Where to begin... The controls of the Wii have enabled gamers to do things that were unheard of. Want to drive a car by steering, check, want to have the best fps controls ever on a console, check, want to play tilt games by actually tilting, check, want to actually be able to swing a bat, punch someone, swing a sword, check. This system has allowed gamers to play games in a ways that were never even dreamed of before. That is why the Wii is so popular. As to the power, Nintendo didn't want the graphics to be on pretty games that are just like PS2/PS1 games. The Wii has changed gaming the way we know it. According to IGN, MoHH2's controls spank COD4's controls.

The Wii has dozens of awesome games, but it seems like you just want COD200, RE 1,900,001 and other sequels that play like games before them with slightly better graphics. We don't even know if RE5 will be ported to the Wii yet. I personally think the graphics on the Wii are just fine. Only about 2 or 3 of the 25+ games that I've played have made me think "these graphics suck!"

NMH is a fun game. They used the Wiimote in a fun way, yet they didn't over do it. Red Steel had interesting ideas as to how to use the wiimote as a sword, but that game was rushed. The Wii is leading this generation for a reason. It has the best games and the most interesting control scheme.

where to begin, ah yes the wii offers the things you said but how many games have actually utilized it to it's fullest potential? it's been hit or miss for a long while now. look at multiplatform games on all three consoles. which one is usually the one with the lowest score? the wii version. because of what? controls and or graphics.

and about sequels, i'd rather get the true sequel to some games than a spin off like soul calibur legends or dq swords.

the best games? no, 360 beats it review wise by a freaking mile.

Call of Duty 5 is confirmed for Wii, 360, PS3, PC, DS, PS2, and PSP (I think I know everything else is confirmed I don't know about the PSP version)

and Capcom said they are still trying to decide if they will make a Wii version of RE5.

Im sure Capcom will release some kind of RE game for us by the end of the year. Ive harrased them enough about RE5 too so hopefully theyll do something abut it :D

Im very happy cod5 is coming. hopefully it has a decent long gameplay aswell as a bit of online, even if its only 8 online i dont mind :)

I agree with you on the ports. That's why I never played TP because it was a Gamecube game and I played it on my Gamecube. As for porting 360 games, I thought Rockstar table tennis was horrible. I'm also sick of PS2 ports on the Wii that come out a year later and cost the same, or more. Bully cost $40 on the PS2 in 2006, and it will cost $50 on the Wii in 2008?! Glad I rented it and beat it. BTW, both of those ports come courtesy of Rockstar. I would like to see a great RE game on the Wii. I don't want any remakes, I want a new one. I loved RE4 on the GC, but I don't want to play it again on the Wii. I already beat it twice on the Cube. If COD5 can have controls like MoHH2 with better online play (and at least 32 players), then I will buy it.
