Resident Evil 4 on the Wii...

YodaTunaYodaTuna Registered User regular
edited July 2007 in Games and Technology
Something interesting popped on the release list at EBStop today. Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition. I have never seen the lists populated by any rumored titles which leads me to believe this is legit. So anyone hear anything else? Release date is late June.

If I missed this in another thread, I apologize, I tried searching!

    I heard about this too, but didn't post due to it being taken down by the time I heard.

    All I will say is this -
    If all they did was best aspecs from PS2 and GC put together, wiimote controls, a few extra missions and expanded mercanaries mode, I woul rebuy it at full price.

    I'm kinda torn. It's great news and all (if it's true), but I think aiming with the remote would take some of the tension out.

    if this is real, they could improve the graphics a bit, maybe some better textures and detailed shadows, true widescreen and RE4 looks incredible all over again.

    That's what I thought at first, but the price is listed as 29.99.

    I am absolutely shocked by this announcement. I would never expect Capcom to port one of their popular existing titles to a new system for a quick buck. Capcom is known for its radical new changes to games and not doing the "same old same old."
    Just kidding this looks positively bitchin'.

    I understand what Keith is saying. He's implying that they'll just port the PS2 version instead of remaking the new content for the GC version.

    "New Resident Evil Does 480p and 16:9"

    " The title is being led by Masachika Kawata, who handled the port of Resident Evil 4 to PlayStation 2."
    =\


    "According to Famitsu, the title will consist of two parts, including a more traditional survival horror experience that transpires between Code Veronica X and RE4, and another mode where gamers can play as various characters from the universe and traverse areas from the previous projects. "

    You have to admit they can easily be lost in the sea of visual mediocrity that is 3rd Party support for Wii. Call of Duty, Red Steel, Farcry, Splinter Cell, Godfather, etc.

    I doubt they're making a direct RE4 port.
    They did announce that Chronicles crap though.

    Either way, if they put RE4 on the Wii it would be exactly the same as the Cube version visually, with some asstastic and awkward Wii controls lazily slapped on there so now you have to wiggle your wrist to outrun the boulder trap.
    Having to perform several unresponsive gestures during the knife fight would also crank the difficulty and frustration way up while at the same time removing the fun!

    I would look forward to it just so I could listen to people tell me how great it is to play the same game for the 10th time but now with WAGGLE.

    Your argument falls flat on the possibility of needing to whip the controller behind your head, ala an actual suplex montion to suplex bad guys.

    WHY IS THERE NOT A WRESTLING GAME ON THE WII YET?

    games are not about graphic quality they are about gameplay...this is why the ps2 beat out the xbox even though it looked like shit compared.
