ZeldaFreak Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Imagine a free-roaming Mega Man game with the RE4 engine. Wouldn't that be something?? *dreams* Well they did a free roaming Megaman game on N64. Hoping for a sequel. I really want them to release one with Megaman NT characters fighting in the virtual world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrocasilva Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Well they did a free roaming Megaman game on N64. Hoping for a sequel.That was a port of 3 year old Mega Man for PSone, not a stand alone exclusive game for N64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCK Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I'd like to see them try Okami on Wii. With the current fanbase of the Wii, which are mainly Nintendo fans, it might actually work out. Nintendo fans usually have more appreciation for obscure games if they're good enough. I'd buy it, anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrocasilva Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 I'd buy it, anyway Me too, without thinking twice. C'mon Capcom. But I've gotta say I'm not really seeying it happen; not expecting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 This with more polygons. Please! Is this that PN03 (or something like that) game? I think Lost Planet Wii would atualy work really well! I don't think it could handle something like Dead Rising, I would love to see Okami!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrocasilva Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Is this that PN03 (or something like that) game?Yes I think Lost Planet Wii would atualy work really well! I don't think it could handle something like Dead Rising, I would love to see Okami!!Thing is... I'd guess when they talk about not porting these engines they are reffering to the very same engine basis, and it's really not worth it, if you ask me. This should not be about GPU, but CPU; since other next gen consoles are using multi-core CPU's, Capcom had to make these engine's in order to support that; for instance... Dead rising was one of the first games using more than one core in Xenon (X360's CPU). So for both Dead Rising and Lost Planet Wii is not that suitable for porting not because of lack of single core performance, but lack of multi-core altogether. It's really a matter of... as a single-core engine is improper for X360 (will only use 1/3 of the CPU cores), a multi-core engine is improper for Wii (or any other Single Core CPU, even if it was to be more powerful). Rather than porting they'd better start over on-spec for the console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4q2 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Agree with Dead Rising never making it to the Wii.....I genuinely believe it could be done with some great 'labour of love' style effort on behalf of the development team (with some comprimises of course), but Capcoms exec would never fund it.

Aimless Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I'd like to see them try Okami on Wii. With the current fanbase of the Wii, which are mainly Nintendo fans, it might actually work out. Nintendo fans usually have more appreciation for obscure games if they're good enough. I'd buy it, anyway I wouldn't agree with that. Sure your average FIFA-only PS2 owner probably wouldn't care for things like Ico and Okami, but why are these games so renowned in the first place? Because people played them, appreciated them, and then spread the word to other gamers. I'm not having a go, I just like to nip these kind of things in the bud. Anyway, I'm kind of subconsciously putting off buying Okami because it's such a perfect fit for the Wii. Some part of me simply believes it will happen. I hope its faith is well placed.

DCK Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 No, I don't think so. Ico and Okami were so well appreciated because most reviewers are connaisseurs, and gave much appreciation to those titles. Of course, the titles became cult hits on PS2 as well, contributing to their popularity. What I was trying to say is that Nintendo fans are more used to play games like Okami ("like Okami" meaning no 'realistic' style) because that's what Nintendo offers them. Therefore, I think a Wii Okami would likely sell (much) better than the PS2 version. That, and the controls are made for the Wii. In a sense, this game seems to have been made for Wii from day one.

gaggle64 Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Weren't the folks over at iD talking about something similar? Sounds like a great idea, digging up and converting older tech. That would be great, just stick your dev B-team on a project and let em' pump out all the crazy crap they've always wanted to. Good times for all.

The Bard Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Well the Resi 4 engine was so fucking brilliant that I really do hope they use it again and again, Wii could use some proper epic games. Still Excite Truck seems to be keeping me occupied, so it's all good o_0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
