Retro_Link Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Could Lost Planet also be making it's way to Wii? This was reportedly posted over on the Capcom forums... Capcom Fan: "Hey Sven, just out of curiosity, how come you guys chose Dead Rising over Lost Planet for Wii? I'm just curious because it seems like LP would be the easier of the two games to port over, considering that it's an FPS. The number of zombies on screen in the 360 version of DR at once was pretty ridiculous. Factor in the load times and all the different moves, it just seems like translating all this content for the Wii will take a considerable amount of effort. Again, Lost Planet seems like it would have been the easier choice. Is there some kind of major discrepancy in the hardware requirements between the two games that lead to the choice? Also, was it your call of Capcom in Osaka's? Christian Svensson of Capcom: Let's discuss next week. I can't comment until then when a bit more will be clear *smiles* Go on Capcom, you know you want to!! Some good old Wii-mote blasting action!
Emasher Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 They might just be revealing more about Dead Rising Wii.
Retro_Link Posted July 18, 2008 Author Posted July 18, 2008 They might just be revealing more about Dead Rising Wii.Yeah no that's probably it, but the *smile* and the fact that I see no reason why he couldn't just say why they decided on Dead Rising, leads to at least a speculative rumour! Lost Planet would work so well with the Wii-mote!
darkjak Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Let's just hope they won't f**k us like they did in the NGC days. Back then they had a project called the Nintendo 5, which was supposed to be 5 games released exclusively on the cube. Let's see how it turned out back then: 1) Dead Phoenix: CANNED 2) Viewtiful Joe: Ported to PS2 3) Killer 7: Ported to PS2 4) Peoject no.4: CRAP! 5) Resident Evil 4: Ported AND IMPROVED to PS2 How they can f**k us? They can quite simply make these games bad. They can start releasing much better exclusives to other formats. They can make exclusives for other formats, without giving us ANY. Anyhows, Lost Planet could kick some serious butt.
Retro_Link Posted July 18, 2008 Author Posted July 18, 2008 1) Dead Phoenix: CANNED2) Viewtiful Joe: Ported to PS2 3) Killer 7: Ported to PS2 4) Peoject no.4: CRAP! 5) Resident Evil 4: Ported AND IMPROVED to PS2 Ah the infamous Capcom 5! 4) = P.N.03
Cube Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Capcom seem to like the franchise (enough to get someone to make a film), so It's highly possible.
D_prOdigy Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 No. No. No. No. No. Emasher mashed the nail on the head - next week they'll probably reveal more about DR and make it clear how they'll fit many aspects of the 360 game onto the Wii. Nothing to do with Lost Planet. Stop getting your hopes up.

Anyhows, Lost Planet could kick some serious butt. Resident Evil 4 had some extra features on the PS2, but it was visually a hell of a lot better on the Cube. Just thought I'd point that out, as at the time (and probably still now) the visuals were a big selling point of the game. Anyway, the Wii version cleared that up. We ended up getting the extras.
M-PG71C Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 I dunno.....I guess I can't really say anything. I mean, Lost Planet was a beautiful game and I would hate to lose its graphical splendor. But then again, Capcom is a pretty capable developer so if this is something they feel they can do, by all means do it. Everything Capcom has released so far has been fantastic so I encourage to keep bringing the goods.
Zechs Merquise Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 I would love it if Lost Planet made it;s way to Wii as well as Dead Rising! Wow, CAPCOM come on and make me love you even more
ShadowV7 Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 Reading that I really didn't see how anyone could get Little Planet, just more details of Dead Rising and how the Wii isn't as weak as people thought.
Pookiablo Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 The more the better I say, here's to hoping. I agree with ShadowV7 though, I don't see how anyone could have pulled that idea out of the back neccessarily.
