Resident Evil 5 Wii: "We haven't decided whether to port or not yet"

Thanks over to Cyber- at the Wii forums for the link in a similar topic

here is the article

Recently there was an interview with Resident Evil 4 producer Masachika Kawata. After doing some deeper digging on anything Resident Evil 5 and Wii related, I found a much clearer translation from the original Japanese interview. Read below:


Q: What inspired you to develop a new episode of the serie Resident Evil on Wii? (referring to RE:UC)

A: The Wii-mote was perfectly adapted to that kind of game.

Q: What do you think about third-party support on Wii in general. What drove you to develop on Wii instead of working on PS3 or X360?

A: The basic concept of Resident Evil is to run with guns and shoot everywhere [!!!], so from that perspective, it was really interesting to take full advantage of the uniqueness of the Wii. We wanted to create a balance between the shootings and the horror.

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.

The key quotes are: "They haven't decided if they will port RE5 on Wii yet." "The decision is not made yet."

This leaves the door wide open for the Resident Evil 5 to come to the Wii. I payed a visit to Capcom's "Ask Capcom" and this question has been asked of them many times: "Why don't you just port Resident Evil 5 to the Wii?" They say the game can't be done on the Wii since its being made from the ground up for 360 and PS3, but that seems to set the forums ablaze with reasons why it could work on the Wii and how it could look good if made to the Wii's strengths(see my previous post on the TEV unit in Wii). There are many graphics discussions going on right now and many people are quick to discount the Wii. However if the producer of Resident Evil 4 hasn't decided if RE5 will come to the Wii yet, then you know that graphics are not really an issue to them(it is much easier to convert High-Res textures to Low-Res Textures than Low-Res to High-Res) its really the money. Capcom can make a port for the Wii and make it look similar enough to the other versions for a fraction of the cost. This doesn't confirm anything for sure but the possibility is very high. Another reason why Capcom would release Resident Evil 5 for the Wii would be to make a profit to cover development costs of the other versions.

Thanks again Cyber-

Say what you will but if the Resident Evil 4 producer thinks it might be good to have a Wii version, to at least admit that they're looking into the idea is good enough for me to think a version would be worth it.

I say after 6 Resident Evil games on the GameCube I do feel a little betrayed by Capcom but not as much as to get all fussy like Devil May Cry 4 PS3 fanboys. I would like to see this on Wii first, my preference. I think Resident Evil 4 with Wii motions is great and with titles like Zack & Wiki, Okami, I can't imagine how well Capcom could use the Wiimote with this title.

And we are seeing some huge surprising third party support for the Wii. Fatal Frame 4, Monster Hunter 3 are both exclusives. One is published by Capcom. Add to that good third party support like Tales of Symphonia 2, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Young King and the Promised Land, Dragon Quest Swords, No More Heroes, Trauma Center, Okami, Bully: Scholarship Edition, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. That can only help the chances.

They're concerned over sales and Resident Evil 4 on Wii has almost outsold Resident Evil 4 on the GameCube (1.6 million copies that is).

They said they don't mind the downgrade visually as it is easier to lower resolutions than to raise them ofcourse.

Hey, I'm not saying it will happen I'm just putting thishere so everyone knows they're considering. Its an option for them.

The reason why they didn't initially announce it he says is coz they had no clue what Ninty was up to, had no idea what Wii was or how good it would do. Pre-E3 2006. So, 2 and a half years have passed and the console they don't plan on making the game for has the most potential customers who from sales indicate that they want another Resident Evil game.

Please, if you support this go sign the petition. Capcom said at 25,000 they'd do it. We're at over 29,000. They're ignoring us. They listened to fans and put Sonic (SEGA that is) in Brawl. They listened to fans and are making Okami for the Wii.

This is what sales gets you. Even more great games.

Well if they will butcher the GC version of RE4 for PS2 then I don't see why not. SkullboyX

Through the graphics won't as great as 360 and PS3 of course, it will still look good on the Wii if it at least using the RE4 engine. Otherwise I sure it would be good on the Wii.Wanderer5

the only reason they would port this is to generate sales figures. It would probably be a decent game but i think they are making RE 5 with the ps3 and 360's capabilities in mind. whodeysay85

Tell me though, even though all RE games are usually cutting edge tech wise for the most part what makes Resident Evil 4 good on the GameCube and PS2? Graphics are great, very immersive. But the design, the challenges, the story, the firefights thats what made it a good game. Not all that. At the end of the day Resident Evil 4 would have been just as good on the Xbox, really.

Honestly, what do you think will make Resident Evil 5 a good game period and what do you hope makes it good?

Really great lighting, textures, and amazing visuals

OR

Great value, impressive design, good puzzles, thought out boss fights, engaging character woven in a thrilling story

Which one will make it good and which one do you want to make it good?

You know whats important and it isn't the HD, its the design. And after playing Resident Evil 4 with the Wiimote I never want to play Resident Evil with anything else if I don't have to.

[QUOTE="SkullboyX"]Well if they will butcher the GC version of RE4 for PS2 then I don't see why not. whodeysay85

Then you can take it that the PC version was butchered :P
Or maybe the Mobile version?

Seeing them port RE4 so many times makes a RE5 Wii port sort of easy to believe for me.

In risk of looking like a fool I think its cool that I'm in your sig though I hope all understand that what I meant with that statement is games are good because they're fun and people buy games to have fun and want to buy games for good gaming.

They comment after mine, well hilarious.

I can't imagine that person was alive in the 1980's when the Original GameBoy came out but hey I could be wrong.

lol, if sheep start hoping to get this game then they're just gonna get ripped apart in here. They should just resign themselves to not getting the game and act as if its a nice surprise if they get it. There's nothing more sad than when another "faction" posts about "stealing an exclusive from another faction.MikeE21286

Its better to hope for this than lost causes like Final Fantasy 13 on 360.

RE5 on the PS3/360>>>>>RE5 on the wii

RE5 on the PS3/360>>>>>RE5 on the wii

mattyomo99

Just like Resident Evil 4 is better on Wii than PS2/GCN/PC?

Not just my opinion, widely believe by critics and fans around the world.

But hey Resident Evil 4 selling over a million copies on the Wii after two years is just some weird spike right?

I would like to add that if this doesn't come out on the Wii I will be picking it up for the PC instead.darth-pyschosis

Why in the HELL would anyone wait for a EXTREME watered down port?

It's one thing if it's enhanced (Oblivion on PS3, VF5 on 360), but to wait for a Poo-Poo version of a game PLUS WAGGLE?!!

I'm waiting for LESS?

Sorry, I'm buying Wii exclusive games for the Wii. When this game comes out, I'm not going to wait around for a year to play it with Waggle/Horrible Graphics. I'll go ahead and buy the best version then, and not have to wait.

No thanks.

Port?

With the massive downgrade, it'll have to be a total remake.

hmm.. i would be excited.. but the 360 version will still be the best.. so that in itself almsot warrants a purchase of a 360. Goten_king

Actually, it remains to be seen if the PS3 version is worse/better/equal to the 360. The PS3 version, like DMC4, was started first, I believe.

Either way, your statement to bold to be accepted as a nonfanboy statement.

http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33897143

Get your facts straight. Resident Evil 5 has already been confirmed for PC.

RE5 on the PS3/360>>>>>RE5 on the wii

We'll see.

Just like Resident Evil 4 is better on Wii than PS2/GCN/PC?

Because some people only have a Wii.

Also, the controls for RE4 on the Wii are far superior to the GCN or PS2 version. The game is actually easier because of it, as stated in the Gamespot review.

That's funny, because I have the Wii version of RE4, and the controls, imo, are worse...but more fun to aim at a spanish zombie thing, I suppose. It's not more efficient, they made the GAME EASIER. You know that, right? Capcom changed the difficulty of the game to suit people that bought the Wii version.

And for the record GS isn't the most reputable source anymore, although I'm openminded to hear you do it, it's not going to get you anywhere in conversation.

As a RE fan, I have every version released in the U.S. to date, yes, that means I have multiple version's of the same game. Another interesting fact about difficulty, RE:CVX is actually harder than the DC version.

Either way, some people only having a Wii isn't my problem, and the game wouldn't be the same. MORE THAN GRAPHICS will be sacrificed to get it on Wii.

It will use physics and effects that can't be done on the Wii. So it's not even going to be a port with just uglier graphics, but a sort of watered down restructured remake, only alike in spirit and name but not alike in gameplay. PhoebusFlows

Ask Jack Thompson and Hilary Clinton what is more frightening to them. The motion controls enhanced realism or graphics?

And honestly dude, you know **** well that it will take you 10 minutes to get use to the A.I. in Resident Evil 5 just like it did in Resident Evil 4. And after minutes of gazing at the effects in awe you know you were more stunned by the puzzles, story, shooting elements of Resident Evil 4.

A good game can't be watered down. Because what makes a good game is its design, and overall build of balance between varying gameplay elements. You all know that.

The physics? Look, Resident Evil 5 doesn't scream physics. Zombie climbs up ladder, I shoot, he falls down in a realistic fashion.

I shoot him in the knee, he holds it in pain, then gets up and comes back after me.

I shoot him between the eyes, his head blows up.

That's all anyone needs and you know thats all that the physics will really do when it boils down to it in RE 5.

Did you ever think its just that easy to use and implement the Wii controller in good ways?

I mean its not like Capcom went through the actual code to take out "the hard parts".

Maybe you actually have a good controlling game

How can it control worse when its supposedly alot easier? Please enlighten me as you seem to have contradicted yourself.

Your opinion matters to us all.

If they do, I'll see it nothing more then a third taste from Capcom to see if the Wii is a viable platform for the RE series.

It will use physics and effects that can't be done on the Wii. So it's not even going to be a port with just uglier graphics, but a sort of watered down restructured remake, only alike in spirit and name but not alike in gameplay. PhoebusFlows

As the biggest Wii hater on this forum, your deduction is nullified by obvious bias.

I believe it will more than likely be ported to the Wii, and get a similar score, much like other games with better graphics but worse controls, like Madden 07, which scored better on the Wii, despite all of those very flaws you mentioned.

Retort Phoebus? I know you love me too.

People might not want the downgrade that the game will have on 360 and ps3 concerning the gameplay department. You may be in fantasy world but most on this earth think that the Wii verison is the best(let us not forget that they added more enemies on screen becasue the controls were so accurate, but your fanmonkey rant left that out.) I wonder why? As a RE fan since PS1 the Wii verison is the best RE experience bar non and most would agree with me. But you will come with a broken record response that will be predictable as the sun rising in the east.

To rape this game with the gimp simple inaccurate controls of the 360 and ps3 would be a crime.

Also, the controls for RE4 on the Wii are far superior to the GCN or PS2 version. The game is actually easier because of it, as stated in the Gamespot review.

That's funny, because I have the Wii version of RE4, and the controls, imo, are worse...but more fun to aim at a spanish zombie thing, I suppose. It's not more efficient, they made the GAME EASIER. You know that, right? Capcom changed the difficulty of the game to suit people that bought the Wii version.

And for the record GS isn't the most reputable source anymore, although I'm openminded to hear you do it, it's not going to get you anywhere in conversation.

As a RE fan, I have every version released in the U.S. to date, yes, that means I have multiple version's of the same game. Another interesting fact about difficulty, RE:CVX is actually harder than the DC version.

Either way, some people only having a Wii isn't my problem, and the game wouldn't be the same. MORE THAN GRAPHICS will be sacrificed to get it on Wii.

Did you ever think its just that easy to use and implement the Wii controller in good ways?

I mean its not like Capcom went through the actual code to take out "the hard parts".

Maybe you actually have a good controlling game

How can it control worse when its supposedly alot easier? Please enlighten me as you seem to have contradicted yourself.

Look, I dug RE4 on Wii. It was fun. It wasn't needed, and it wasn't efficient, but it got the job done. However, the difficulty of the game was compromised to suit the waggle gameplay. If reviewers couldn't figure that out, and rated the game higher, whatever, that's just how it is.

The game wasn't any easier because I played it before. I beat it on the GC 3-4 times, I beat it on the PS2 twice. I know the game pretty well, they NINTENDOFIED the game for that market....They did the same thing to MGS:Twin Snakes for GC, and multiple other titles. We Nintendo fans sometimes get EASIER games, just 'cause. I only notice when these games are ported, for all I know exclusive games are made easier as well. Who knows.

For RE4 Wii, I think Capcom was overcompensating for the Waggle, since the Camera and Waggle don't work as well together.

Hey dude, did you read the interview with the makers of the game?

They are using HDR lighting to mimic temporary blindness (much like the effect used in Halo 3. If you didnt play it you don't know what I'm talking about) This works into the gameplay. It's not huge, it's not revolutionary, but RE4 or other RE games didnt really have "sunlight" and darkness as an element of gameplay. For once it's not just about enemies and slowly shuffling zombies, now you have to think about where you stand and hide. RE5 does this, thanks to the new effect.

There is possibility of using objects and using them against enemies. I could've sworn he mentioned barrels oroil drums in one interview, and my guess is you can use these to affect the enemies through some attack motion or smartly placed barricades. Much like Half life 2 I'm assuming.RE4 had objects but they were rigidly hugging the walls and only move in one direction and were no different from the Statues or Blocks you move in Zelda A Link To The Past. No man, this time RE5 is moving on. Stop limiting your thinking of how RE can play. Next-gen hardware will add new ways of playing deal with it or buy a 360 or PS3.

Dead Rising is one great example of how Capcom could do something with new hardware. It would not be a great experience on Wii. Did i say all Wii games don't work? no, that's how oversensitive people take it. But the Wii can't handle every single thing 360 and PS3 can do in terms of hardware effects so get used to it. The massive Scarab battle in Halo 3 on Wii? Forget about it. That couldn't be done

[QUOTE="SolidTy"][QUOTE="Zenfoldor"][QUOTE="SolidTy"]

Why in the HELL would anyone wait for a EXTREME watered down port?

It's one thing if it's enhanced (Oblivion on PS3, VF5 on 360), but to wait for a Poo-Poo version of a game PLUS WAGGLE?!!

I'm waiting for LESS?

Sorry, I'm buying Wii exclusive games for the Wii. When this game comes out, I'm not going to wait around for a year to play it with Waggle/Horrible Graphics. I'll go ahead and buy the best version then, and not have to wait.

No thanks.

Just like Resident Evil 4 is better on Wii than PS2/GCN/PC?

Not just my opinion, widely believe by critics and fans around the world.

But hey Resident Evil 4 selling over a million copies on the Wii after two years is just some weird spike right?

RE4 Wii wasn't heavily downgraded like RE5 would be it it was ported to the Wii...

Get your facts straight. Resident Evil 5 has already been confirmed for PC.

RE5 will be a next gen game
the wii is not next gen in terms of graphics
the jump from RE4-5 in terms of animations, items, physics, lighting, and amount of zombies on screen the wii version will have to be dumbed down... WAYYYY DOWN

So if they're doing stuff similar to a 3 year old Xbox game how wouldn't it work on Wii?

And I've played Halo 3 through twice on that 4 hour campaign.

You're wrong that mimicing temporary blindness isn't even worth mentioning for that game.

It plays such a small factor in it.

Why don't they just y'know blur the screen? I'm sure that won't be the bleeding edge tech part of the package.

That sounds cool and all but c'mon do you really think that is going to be that huge of a gameplay element and that it couldn't be easily replicated to another console?

Besides that, you know what will make this game good and what makes all games good. Their design.

If not why is Ocarina of Time still widely considered the greatest game of all-time and better than anything out today (by many people)?

Ratchet and Clank:FTOD has great effects, but its design is no where near the caliber and jaw dropping brillance of Super Mario Galaxy.

Good Design is always more important than Cutting Edge tech. But hey people aren't still playing Starcraft and Counterstrike are they?

exactly. I can't wait for the RE5 trailer to finally come out and than that will quiet them down when they start to see "Oh I see what they mean now....."

Once again, the issue here is gameplay, not barrels and sunshine effects. Graphical and processorial effects impossible on the Wii could easily be replaced with other gameplay aspects only possible on the Wii. For instance, you can be assured the RE control scheme will be largely similar, and by all accounts, its easier on the Wii.

Next gen hardware WILL add new ways of playing. The biggest improvement is the Wiimote, which changes control schemes alltogether, in RE5's case, for the better, and adds a certain level of immersion into the cutscene escapes(like cutting a rope off your leg for instance).

If I admit that the 360 adds more than "better graphics," you gotta admit the Wii adds more than "worse graphics," which can clearly be seen on a lot of the reviews here on gamespot, such as the Madden 07 review.

Who is to say which is better? I think its a matter opinion.

Any game can be remade for any system, and the only significant effort required is to upgrade. Lessening the number of zombies on screen is the only significant difference the casual gamer will see, for the Wii version, and given a significant enough downgrade graphically, that might not even be a necessity.

So, here's whats up. If your on RE5 and it has online multiplayer, and have to fight someone who has the Wii version. Run. Your not gonna be able kill him with your analog stick aiming device.

I'd like you to factual explain why the Wii can't play well designed games.

Coz y'know all that stuff you said is good and all but dynasty warriors has more enemies on a screen than Resident Evil 5 will does that make it cutting edge?

You also should be aware that the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion engine from the Xbox 360 has officially been optimized to work on the Wii with the only compromise in terms of quality being the resolutions.

But hey, like I said if this doesn't come out on Wii I'll just buy it on the platform it will be best on, the PC.

I don't know if I would say WAYYYY down.

Scientifically, I would arrive at WAYY down, myself.

Actually though, the PS3 and the 360 can't do what the Wii can do, either. That's why they are losing in sales. People either buy a PS3 or a 360, they are very similar. Nothing is like the Wii.

Now, dumbing down the graphics while significantly improving the controller might not be everyones cup of tea.

However, either way, it is good news that Wii fans will get to play RE5. Believe me, the game still be recognizable, and quite fun on the Wii, no matter which way you cut it.

You didn't by any means take a side by you used logic. For SW, and people really like to play games that is the kind of word we need to spread.

so i guess the wii can do bioshock, GTA4, DMC4, and Gears because you say so.
The wii is less powerful... alot less powerful then the 360 and PS3 thats why PS3/360 RE5>>>wii RE5
and if you think other wise you are out of your mind

edit- i do like RE4 on the wii and it is by far the best version of them all... but i dont see how you could think a downgraded port from the 360/ps3 could be better on the wii

edit- i dont think its coming to PC...
