RE5 will surely be coming to the Wii.

Capcom have mentioned they haven't totally disregarded the option of making Resident Evil 5 for the Wii, aside the already announced PS3 and 360 versions. Eventhough we won't be seeing the game for another year or so, I still don't understand what reason Capcom has for not immediately making it for the Wii as well. Sure, the Wii version would be different to the PS360 one because of the big graphical differences and whatnot, but it can't be that much of a hastle right? But, that's not the main point.

RE4 has sold around 1.3 million copies and is currently the best selling Wii game that isn't made by Nintendo, unless you count Mario & Sonic Olympics which was mainly Sega. Then there's RE: Umbrella Chronicles with around 700k, which eventhough doesn't seem like that much, you have to remember that the game was only released 2 months ago. This clearly shows that the Resident Evil fanbase on the Wii is respectable, so doubts about RE5 selling on the Wii should be thrown off a cliff. Not only that, but the Gamecube had quite a few games in the series, so if the trend continues with Nintendo consoles and its fans it would work for the Wii.

Now now, cows, lemmings and other forms of Wii haters, don't give me the "The Wii can't handle the graphics that RE5 will have on PS360" argument. You have to live with the fact that some Resident Evil fans out there with the Wii Edition prefer the benefits of gameplay with the Wii Remote rather than cutting edge graphics. If it does take a little more time to customize RE5 for the Wii then so be it. We'll be waiting.

:lol: I almost let the topic turn into a "Cow: Just wait!" or a lemming and their MGS4 port rumours, but yeah you get what I mean.

I think it absolutely should come out for Wii. Just downgrade the graphics. I'm sure the game runs on pretty much the same engine as RE4 and all they did was amp up the graphics.

Having said that, and owning a Wii, by the time RE5 comes out I will probably have bought my second console anyway.

Well, Capcom shipped 1.3 million copies to retailers, but that is still very good. They were only expecting to sell 400k total. Instead, they did 3 times that amount and posted record profits.

the graphics would take the hit. really bad. but they would have to cut the number of zombies on screen, RE5 is about the number of zombies at one time and there speed and AI. THE WII CANNOT DO THIS. IT DOESNT HAVE THE CPU POWER. ive played RE4 on the wii and will admit that the control was great. but it felt just as good on the cube and PS2. why would you want a washed out port? if you think far cry, splinter cell,and COD4 was bad, a resident evil 5 port would be a joke. nintendo already said the wii is only a little more powerful then the cube (and i think they mean in its online and features, not graphics and physics). i think you will get chronicles 2 instead.

it was done on the lost planet / dead rising engine. watered down would be an accomplishment if they got it running. the wii cannot do 40 peeps on screen at one time. aint gonna happen.

No, you play gameplay.

Have fun with the reduced amount of enemies on screen.

Oh andany watered downdestructible environments and physics

I hear the lighting system is essential to the gameplay too...

I'm sure it'll be great though :|

actually they said about 2x more powerful and they weren't talking about the online :roll: as for AI. it's zombies. I could see then toning down the number of zombies because of graphics issues but are you going to tell me zombie AI is really more advanced than spore will have?

I don't care. I'm getting it on 360. Doesn't matter what you fanboys say, it will look considerably better in HD and horror games rely on graphcis more than other genres. Also you speak like you only own a wii, how pathetic to want a wii version of RE5 if you own a 360/PS3.

Actually, the Wii is stronger in graphics and physiccs. SMG and MP3 would definitely have been impossible on the GC.

by what 10 to 20 percent? right now tell me, hao much more do you thnk the wii can do? doom 3? halo 2? prime 3 could of been done on the cube. the 1st prime is still the best looking. galaxy doesnt blow sunshine out of the water in tech. sunshine used that aweful color palette. the wii will not go much farther in graphics. go ask reggie. that is why nintendo will bring out a new console sooner then you think. the gap will be to much from the other systems.

The Wii is at least 50% stronger than the GC. This is according to Nintendo.

As for graphics, you are wrong. SMG definitely looks better than Sunshine. MP3 looks like the best one out of the trilogy. Devs have also not used all the graphical power from the Wii yet. There will be better graphics as devs become more familiar with it.

And I'm not comparing the Wii to the other systems. We already know the 360/PS3 are a lot better.

As for them bringing out a new console, what are you using to back up your statements? Is it the fact the Wii continues to remain sold out? Heck, if it continues to sell out in its 2nd year, why would Nintendo be stupid enough to cut their own profits by killing the Wii? That wouldn't make sense at all.

But you people DO NOT UNDERSTAND! It's not as simple as that, wii is a different piece of hardware all together. That's a logical theory for every game. Why dont' capcom make DMC4 for wii? Seriously just look at the trailer for this game. Just ACCEPT wii will not have those types of games for it's system. ******** hell.

yeah i hate peopel who compare the two. RE4 PS2 was nothing. Missing a few effects here and there and that's about it. I've PLAYED REwii and the controls are great but not good enough to sacrifice incredible detail and atmosphere in which 360/PS3 versions of RE5 will bring. These =peopel who only own wii need to realise this gen is different. You wanna play the best games you have to own at least 1 HD machine. Or capable PC...coz RE5 will be on PC i think.

GC < Wii. That's a SSBB shot, which looks more realistic than the SMG Mario. So, Wii games have still been improving.

RE5 fanboys. lol.

No, I don't go to smashbros dojo every day.

My most anticipated game is almost completely unknown.

I don't know why people are so against downgrades. It would be interesting to see. You aren't even a little curious as to the outcome of, say, Spore on the Wii?

Why does Mario have cheap texture in Super Mario Galaxy then? (More stuff going on screen? :?)

and there is the risk of this happening here. When far cry was ported often it would look the same and at times better than the original. With a wii port of RE5 the game can only look worse.

I hope it does because I'd rather play it with dumbed down graphics and the Wii Mote than with amazing graphics and a normal controller. Then again I'd probably buy it for PS3/360 (pending reviews) and the Wii so I could play it both ways. It is amazing how good RE4 plays on the Wii, its like a totally differant experience.

IT DOESNT HAVE THE CPU POWER. ive played RE4 on the wii and will admit that the control was great. but it felt just as good on the cube and PS2. why would you want a washed out port? if you think far cry, splinter cell,and COD4 was bad, a resident evil 5 port would be a joke. nintendo already said the wii is only a little more powerful then the cube (and i think they mean in its online and features, not graphics and physics). i think you will get chronicles 2 instead.prodiqy32

RE4 ran on GC which had 24 MB of ram and 486 Mhz CPU. Wii has 96 MB ram and 729 MHz CPU.

I think they can use an expanded version of the RE4 engine to make a suitable RE5 using all the extra power the Wii has. Do I think they should do this? No. I think instead they should make an RE spinoff in the vain of RE Code Veronica and build it around the Wii's strengths (and put a good team on it).

Even if they did make an RE5 for Wii, it'd be too easy since aiming on Wii is like night and day compared to the other consoles. Make an RE game where you can run and gun, and have faster enemies to compensate for the more precise aiming... ball's in Capcom's court.

RE5 fanboys. lol.

No, I don't go to smashbros dojo every day.

My most anticipated game is almost completely unknown.

I don't know why people are so against downgrades. It would be interesting to see. You aren't even a little curious as to the outcome of, say, Spore on the Wii?

spore isn't planned to be a graphical powerhouse. RE5 is.

Lol so funny to see Wii fans still having to prove the Wii is more powerful than the Gamecube!

Anywayz RE5 on the Wii just wouldn't be the same at all! If anything they should make exclusive RE game that caters specifically to that console rather than try to bring the x360/ps3 experience with new and improved waggle control!

RE4 worked but only because it was a basically Gamecube port (Zelda style!)

We are talking about a significant downgrade. Not just graphically..animation..pyhsics..realism..sound..and RE5 is a horror game. Horror games benefit from better graphics.

And spore is nothing like RE5. It's coming out on DS.

It will probably come sooner or later. I just hope it won't be as bad as the re4 version.

As much as I hate to say it Wii couldn't run RE5. Keep in mind, RE5 isn't some half-assed effort. This game is pushing the hardware of the 360 and PS3 hard. If they ported it over, it would be very watered down to the point where it probably isn't worth the time or effort. It'd be like one of those Russian 2-D versions of Doom.

That being said, Capcom is fully aware of the success the RE series is having on the Wii. There will be much more RE to come on the Wii. The question is just going to be in what form. I'm hoping more in line with RE4 than UC.

Who cares if it isn't the same? The point is there's people out there without a 360 or PS3 that will want RE5.

Are you haters that intent on begging for any game not to go on the Wii just because you don't like the console?

Anyway, I'm more interested in SH5 than RE5 at this point. An actual horror game.

Though, I imagine with the choice, I'd get RE5 for the 360 long before getting it for the Wii.

You people are really building up RE5 to be a fantastic game, are you sure Capcom will be able to make RE5 what RE4 was at the time it came out?

Probably because

a) how many next gen horror games are there?

b) It's capcom. It's resident evil. It's going to kick ASS.

Spore is coming to the DS? and now that just makes the PC and Wii version insignificant? you can't be serious. You talk about fan boys yet here you are the biggest graphic fan boy in this thread who knows absolutely nothing about the Wii other then the fact it can't reach HD graphics.

Eternal Darkness looks like ass compared to most of the games last gen, but that didn't stop it from being the scariest.

And I think what most people are trying to illustrate is that the graphics/animation/physics of RE4 are just fine. Since that ran on GC, a port to Wii using an Expanded RE4 engine would still leave plenty of room for A.I., bigger environments, etc.

And who's to say they don't change something in the port, like say, make faster enemies to compensate for the much more precise aiming in Wii, or add run and gun possibilities instead of stop, press R, aim and fire.

Actually, the Wii is stronger in graphics and physiccs. SMG and MP3 would definitely have been impossible on the GC.

by what 10 to 20 percent? right now tell me, hao much more do you thnk the wii can do? doom 3? halo 2? prime 3 could of been done on the cube. the 1st prime is still the best looking. galaxy doesnt blow sunshine out of the water in tech. sunshine used that aweful color palette. the wii will not go much farther in graphics. go ask reggie. that is why nintendo will bring out a new console sooner then you think. the gap will be to much from the other systems.

The Wii is at least 50% stronger than the GC. This is according to Nintendo.

As for graphics, you are wrong. SMG definitely looks better than Sunshine. MP3 looks like the best one out of the trilogy. Devs have also not used all the graphical power from the Wii yet. There will be better graphics as devs become more familiar with it.

And I'm not comparing the Wii to the other systems. We already know the 360/PS3 are a lot better.

As for them bringing out a new console, what are you using to back up your statements? Is it the fact the Wii continues to remain sold out? Heck, if it continues to sell out in its 2nd year, why would Nintendo be stupid enough to cut their own profits by killing the Wii? That wouldn't make sense at all.

its called logic. nintendo wants to keep the ball rolling with the wii's success. honestly? 50%. no. your info is wrong. the wii is almost tapped out already. and there is nothing on it that even compares to the best xbox games, or PS2 games for that matter other than galaxy and prime 3. but even those cant touch gran tourismo 4, halo 2 or riddick. or DOA3, or tekken 5 or ninja gaiden. crimson skies? think about it. the wii cannot do what you ask of it. either you can deal with it or you cant. the wii should of been $150 from the start and i wouldnt be so critical about it.

The reason RE4 sucks on PC is because RE is a console game, developed for console controls. Why have a button to stop and aim, when you can move the mouse at the same time?

Oh? Wow didn't know you had inside info on these things could you let us know it's true power then? Because from what I see the graphics on games keep improving but that just me perhaps I am blind..
