Posted May 10, 2006 yes!!!!!!!.. keep the good news coming.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2006 I spotted that earlier today on IGN and posted it in the general chatter thread (and pm'd Tphi and Jordan). Good news, if it doesn't get overshadowed by Resident Evil 5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2006 Don't get too ahead of yourselves, more than anything else it's likely to be in a similar vein to the old Survivor Lightgun games. And that wouldn't be a good thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hate wild statements like this. Based on what facts? You can't possibly know! If anything it's more likely to be built on the Resident Evil 4 engine with the new control system added in. But we can't know until Capcom confirm it. Anyway, fantastic news. A Resident Evil game using Wii control with visuals that will end up being better than Resident Evil 4. It has my vote.

A Resident Evil game using Wii control with visuals that will end up being better than Resident Evil 4. It has my vote. Seems very reasonable. If the Wii is so similar in structure to the GC as Nintendo says, then it really shouldnt be that big of a problem converting the RE4 engine to Wii and pepping the graphics up a bit (more polygons, bigger textures etc??) I reckon the control scheme would function very well too if it was somewhat the "same" as in RE4, just using the nun-chuck to move, strafe etc and when pressing the "shoulder" button on the nun-chuck you go into "weapon-mode" and you can aim with the FMV etc... Seems to me the most logical thing to do instead of building up a totally new engine or porting the engine from RE5 (though we dont know much about it) would probably be too hard because of the difference between Xbox 360/PS3 and Wii.

The poster has a point but hopefully it wont turnout like that. I hoping they dont add a new character to the game and let us play with an exsisting character such as Barry.

Posted May 10, 2006 As previously stated by someone it would be utter foolish of Capcom to not use the same engine but tweaked that they used for the GC. Which I would then presume that they'd take the same route as Zelda which has you aiming with the remote.. Time shall tell. What time do the doors open.. is it about 5pm here?

Posted May 10, 2006 HAHA!!! IN YO FACE, FONY! The wii is going to rock. Hopefully this'll be like RE4, only with wii controlls and on fullscreen (and perhaps slightly improved graphics, allthough RE4 looks better than anything even on the XB360). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2006 thanks capcom for not doggy nintendo completly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2006 I think i just wet my pants...... :p I think this will be like RE4 with the Wiimote controls (like shootin the arrow in Zelda) i don't see them doing something like the survivor games. *big long long shot - most likely won't happened but what the hell* Imagine they decided to try once more a gamble on Nintendo and it was RE5 Wii exculsive.... and then will end up on PS3 a year later :p *end big long long shot - most likely won't happened but what the hell* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2006 Very good news, resi GC was kick ass, this can only be better (Hopefully-if thats even possible). Though one problem with the wii, theres too many good games comming out on it, how will we afford them all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2006 Exclusive is not as good as Resident Evil 5. It will need to be better than RE5 for me to buy it. I have faith they'll do something good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2006 it can turn out beater at least now we get something designed for the wii. The poster has a point but hopefully it wont turnout like that. I hoping they dont add a new character to the game and let us play with an exsisting character such as Barry. yeah give us back leon & the hot chick from 4. they can have the new re5 dude.

Though one problem with the wii, theres too many good games comming out on it, how will we afford them all. By being cheap At least it isn't 360 or PS3... we'd only be able to buy 1 game a year after remortgaging houses to buy the consoles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 10, 2006 It'll probably be a spin-off and I wouldn't even be surprised if it was an FPS game. I genuinley don't think we'll see Resi 5 on this unless the Wii exclusive version sells like hotcakes, usually spin-off Resi games are handled by other developers so if Capcom themselves are working on this I think it'll be a serious game, even if its not a follow up to Resi 4.
