new RE should be called "RE: the onrails shooter no one asked for"

makes sense to me lol

Yeah I'm getting tired of Capcom when it comes to the wii. You would think after how awesome Resident Evil 4 was for the wii they would have learned something. I guess they will never take it seriously.chansaet

They should have just remade any of the older RE games and added on RE4 controls.

I like to play a good rail shooter every once in awhile so i'm looking forward to it.

I asked for it

Can we call it "The Resident Evil game Jason asked for"?

Because that sounds awesome

Just do what I'm going to do: buy the game used.

That way, you'll still get the same experience without support capcom's laziness. Win-win.

I know!

Curse you!

:P

this is absolute BS! :x

why the hell cant we get a goddamned REALRE GAME capcom!!!

I love Rail Shooters but I would've prefered Capcom not make an On Rails Shooter out of Resident Evil like most Publishers are putting on the Wii. I have no problems with Rail Shooters I only have a problem with On Rails Shooters.

I have no problems with Rail Shooters I only have a problem with On Rails Shooters.Nintendo_Ownes7

There's a difference?

well here we go again. IMHO if its like REuc i'll will not even bother to rent this one. but who knows, its like i said about deadspace on wii if they try hard and do cool things it could over come being an onrails shooter. but if its as bland and mediocer as UC ....no thanks.

I disagree alot of people besides Jaysonguy asked for it (he just may just have been the only one sending emails) but when a million+ lapped up Umbrella Chronicles it sent a big message to Capcom that this is the type of game Wii owners want. Yeah RE4 sold just as well, but that was an already established title that the whole world knew was great. Here's a comparison, Metroid Prime one of Nintendo's best franchises, do you know how long it took MP3 to reach 1 million in sales? So you figure a real game, an excellent game didn't sell that well from the jump and it was from an established Nintendo franchise, but a quickly thrown together rails shooter that was more port than new flew off the shelves. What do you expect to happen? Sepewrath

Umbrella Chronicles sold extremely well, so I doubt Capcom felt that "no one asked for it".Rocky32189

here is what i found http://www.destructoid.com/capcom-on-wii-total-sales-numbers-of-titles-is-surprising-121208.phtml

REuc 398,800

re4 *Wii edition* 759,000 and thats not counting the shi* load of copies sold on the GC, or the ps2 for that matter.

1.7 million at half the price

So which one made Capcom more money?

That would be Umbrella Chronicles

makes sense to me lol

They should have just remade any of the older RE games and added on RE4 controls.

Let me get this straight

You would rather do something you did before, again, rather then play something new?

[QUOTE="Wild_Card"][QUOTE="Rocky32189"] It sold over million copies worldwide, which is a very high number considering the game was probably made on a low budget by one of Capcom's lower development teams. I'm pretty sure the number you have there are only U.S. sales.Jaysonguy

[QUOTE="Jaysonguy"]

[QUOTE="Wild_Card"]then how many must have re4 sold world wide?Wild_Card

1.7 million at half the price

RE 4 sold 1.7
RE UC sold 1.3

RE 4 launched at 29.99 and quickly fell to 19.99
RE UC launched at 49.99 and still sells at 49.99

So even if we keep both at launch price we get...

RE 4 makes $50,983,000
RE UC makes $64,987,000

14 million dollars more with UC even giving RE 4 the highest price possible the entire time it's been released (which it's been a 20 dollar game longer then it's been a 30 dollar game now)

http://psp.ign.com/articles/876/876334p1.html here we go

RE4 on ps2 2.000.000

RE4 gamecube 1.600.000

re4 wii edition 1.250.000

reUC 1.050.000

you forget to point out that re4 wiimake was a port of a gamecube,ps2 and pc game that was released only what 2 years before and that sales of the game would reflect thatlol. lets figure up the mony made from even just re4 on the game cube vs UC not to even count the copies of RE4 wii that were bought by people like me who already bought the GC version. re4 was the better game and the better seller period

Your numbers are a little low but yes, now see how much more money they made on Umbrella Chronicles compared to 4?

No, it doesn't work like that

You compare what each console has, you don't add up what consoles have. There's no way to judge that

You think someone at Capcom has a clue who owns what console and what version they bought?

No

They look at the money made from RE4 on the Wii and then they look at the money made from RE UC on the Wii. They see that they get more money from the latter and they make another one

While i would preffer a traditional RE than an on rails shooter, it would really innocent to claim that nobody wanted one. Just a month ago Capcom was patting itsef in the back with Chronicles sales, according to their own reports(and outsider ones as well).Heck it would bedumb from me to say that it was not a fun game, and that i didnt enjoy the data files that completed a lot of story holes.It was a good deal and people apparently liked it, or basically, MOST people, which is what counts. So as always ,people can moan and cry but against money thats always nothing.

Just do what I'm going to do: buy the game used.

That way, you'll still get the same experience without support capcom's laziness. Win-win.

Dingerious

So they're being lazy by creating an entirely new game, rather than porting an old game and slapping on wii controls?

Seriously?

jasom

dont even count the wii version. just look at the GC version. that would be a much more fair comparison. 1.600.000 at its retail price and 1.250.000 for UC on the Wii. And keep in mind the Wii has a much larger user base than the GC did;) as i said re4 was the better game and its sales reflected this. heck it sold 2 million on the ps2 a year after its release on the game cube. and if capcom does not have the brains to look at what re4 sold origanoly vs what the REMAKE/PORT sold just a couple years later then more is the pitty for us who like better games ;)

LOL thats becuase it was a PORT from just two years prior!that is just a clouded way of compairing the two games and how well they were reseved by the consumers.

im talking about counting *just *the gamecube version. wich should be counted vs UC as like i have said re4wii was a port of the gamecube game as well as the other systems thus completly screwing up the sales numbers when it comes to judgeing how a game does sales wise.becuase so many people that would have bought it on the Wii have already had it on the game cube as well as one of the other two systems it was on. it really is not that hard to under stand. another words im saying the sales of re4 on the Wii would have been much larger if it was a new game. but it was not. so for fairness sake look at the GC sales numbers only vs the Wii's numbers on UC. RE4 sold better on the GC at full price than UC did on the wii .

Why is everyone beating up on RE:UC??!!! The people who say Capcom didnt put any effort into it are WRONG! Its not a cheap game, its actually a great game, with sooo much content. I spent soo much time on this game. It actually gives you reason to keep playing with the cool unlockables. If you say this is a bad game, you obviously havent played it!andrewham7

On rails shooter or not, I'd rather this than some remake. I haven't tried UC (or any on rails shooter on the wii, not counting LCT) yet, but I'd like to try one at some point. It seems like the genre works well on the wii, so I might give this one a try.

[QUOTE="livinitup01"] Yeah, I would've taken a remake any day instead on this, just not an underpowered port. Sepewrath

It was newer than a gamecube port.

I think people are getting upset because there are rail shooters popping up more frequently. As long as they improve on RE:UC and make the graphics at least as good as RE4 for the GAMECUBE, it should be a quality product.

thats a shame and a bit of a dissapointment. I'm not a fan of on rail shooters. A unique re wii title, not on-rails ,would have been really cool. At least i can play Resident evil 5.
