Could RE5 be ported to the Wii with RE4 graphics?

I LOVE the resident evil series and am very disheartened by the fact that Umbrella Chronicles was changed from the original idea of a RE4 style remake of earlier games to an on-rails shooter that looks very lackluster.

RE4 is one of my fav. games. Do you think it is possible for Capcom to port a Wii version of RE5 from the X360, with RE4 graphics? (or slightly better to accomodate for the Wii's graphical power over the Gamecube's)

That would be awesome, because frankly, I want to play RE5 with Wii controls.

Yes

I dont think so. If they needed to re do all of the graphics that means they would have to remake pratically the whole game over again. So it would not be a port. But is it possible that Capcom will go through this trouble to get there game out to a fastly growing crowd.... I would say yes they would and should.

Well, it wouldn't be a port but a seperate build. I wouldn't mind. RE4 with better lighting and textures would look just as good as RE5, in my opinion.dieworm

Not as good but still pretty good. Though I am pretty sure CAPCOM won't port the game to Wii. Maybe Wii will get it's own "true" re after Umbrella Chronicles...

there's always some way to port it. But it could also mean worse physics, worse character animation, worse lighting,..etc.. all things that make a game more immersiveAlways-Honest

Aie. Most people don't seem to realize that better graphics are not the only possible benefit to increased processing power.

I don't think the lighting's that big of a deal, it might not be as impressive if put on Wii, but RE4 had great lighting and Metroid Prime 3 has fantastic lighting proving that it could have bloom and HDR. I'm not sure if the effect of extreme brightness is hardware implemented, but I'm sure it wouldn't be that hard to implement on Wii. Really, it seems rather simple. As for physics? lol, what so amazing about the physics? Animation? What? When did that have to do with anything? It's not as if it doesn't have enough video ram to fit in it. Ohhh, you must mean all those hairs on Chris' head that no one cares about.

Maybe it's just me, but RE5 doesn't look that impressive so far versus RE4. I mean, yeah it looks a ton better, but only because it's got a new style thanks to being set in Haiti and it's a lot cleaner looking. Everything else still looks RE4 to me, the animation, the way the crowd moves, etc.

I'd still prefer it if they made something like RE4 II (for Wii), bascially a completely original Wii effort.

Ever played Half-life 2? It, like a number of games, demonstrates that physics can play an important role in gameplay.

Animation... well, I suppose as long as it isn't jerky.

Okay, but here's another one: Artificial Intelligence.

Everyone needs to get over the fact that they bought a Wii. RE5 isnt coming out for Wii, buy a damn 360 if it means that much to you, its what i did. RE5 isnt going to have the same graphics as RE4 its going to be much better and a higher resolution then the Wii is capable of. We have RE4 and Umbrella chronicles. maybe a few more side games will come, but thats about it. RE5 will look beautiful, when i shoot a zombie i want to see the chucks of flesh tear from his body, i dont want to see some dumb down little brother version. stop getting your hopes up, the game is destined for bigger and better things, dont hold it back by putting on the Wii, RE5 is a franchise that needs to live on because of its story, its depth, creativity, the whole mother load, the Wii will kill it. i hate to make the comparrison in this room but, take halo for instance, all thoughts aside as far as if u love it or hate it, look at it this way, halo one looked pretty famn good when it came out, halo 2 looked even better, but to top that they couldnt make another game on the original xbox, it wouldnt push the series forward, it would be more of the same, so they took it to 360 where it sold 170 mil... now just because there are still 5 million people who only have an xbox and not a 360, would bungie make a dulled verion of halo3 for xbox to please them...no. its about the franchise, not the system, they do what they do for the sake of the game, not the console.PerfectWhenDead

Lol after playing RE 4 on the wii I dont want to play an other RE title without the wiimote. I dont have a 360 but i plan on getting one before RE5 is release (around 09) yet i would still prefer RE5 on the wii.

I cant find the link but I remember one of the Capcom devs saying that if, at the time, the unknown RE UC was successful MAYBE RE5 would be on Wii but that was so long ago not even the devs knew how much power the Wii had.

If they were going to make the RE5 on Wii the following conditons would have to be met:

1. RE UC has to do pretty damn good

2. They would need to make the game from the ground up basically if you want good graphics and controls.

3. Capcom would have to wake up and see the opportunity of making this game on Wii and making sure everyone knows its a not a port.

4. Probably god himself woud have to convince them.

I beg of you capcom please make re5 for wii!!!

Like I said, I'm not trying to be stubborn, but from what I've seen, I'm not too impressed with the "leap" RE5 has taken so far. We just need more details and footage I guess.

1)wow...how sick are you

2)how will actually aiming, punching, and slashing hold back the game at all?

3)this whole sentence contradicts your whole "grafix!!!" theory..

4)wow!!! you can see the future?!?!

P.S. - learn how to make an argument that will actually make an impact on your audience.

Yes it can, but I prefer a game built from the ground up for Wii.Anysteam

Kind of like RE:UC?

im sure there's some possibility of it being released down the road.

Not only is he dead wrong because his arguement is just plain flawed the Wii can go alot farther than the Xbox. He seems to put the two at the same level.

Capcom probably won't do it unless someone paid them 2. Smarter to make it for 360 and ps3 because you would need to make no major changes to the game and profit off both systems. Could make it for the Wii but that way you only profit off 1 system this way. This is why you don't see major 3d party support for the Wii. This is also why you see some PS3 only and 360 only games on both systems.

I think Capcom would make big money with a RE4 style game for the wii--whether it be a port of RE5 or a new game with an enhanced RE4 engine. Think of all the Wii units sold compared to the PS3...

RE5 with Wii controls would be ultimately sweet.

No they can't. They would need to COMPLETELY re-make the game changing physics, graphics, the engine, the whole thing. It would be a complete waste of money on Capcoms part.Duckman5

That wouldn't be progression, and the ratings would suffer because of that.hiphops_savior

thats because reviewers like GS only care about graphics. If capcom were to pull off a fantastic control scheme and make the game from the ground up they could make it look like an advanced RE4.

It wouldn't be RE5 if it wasn't on the 360 or PS3 since they are doing something in the game where Heat is a big part of the gameplay if Chris is in the heat his body temperature will rise making Aiming more difficult because he would be Sweating and can't hold the Gun still.Nintendo_Ownes7

Sweating makes it harder to aim? WTF?

No they can't. They would need to COMPLETELY re-make the game changing physics, graphics, the engine, the whole thing. Duckman5

You would need to re-tool the entire game to do that, you can't just turn down the graphics knob. :|
