Resident Evil 5 on Wii...impossible for the console?

Looks like Capcom is thinking very well about the profits that Wii brought with the sales of RE 4 Wii edition and Chronicles Umbrella...they said that we should wait a bit to see something good coming, I´m totally sure that Capcom can create a port of RE 5 for Wii with better graphics than RE 4, so hopefully the lucky hit will be with us.

i doubt it will be a re5 port. its most likely aremake, but it may be a spinoff if we are lucky.

I dunno...it's up in the air with this game. It takes advantage of the other console's power to a high degree....it would be watered down dramatically if it ever came to the Wii.

I wouldn't mind a side story (if they could make one) from RE5, but I don't want watered down version of RE5 if you follow my drift. I want a new experience that's exclusive and built around the Wii controls.

I wouldn't even mind if Capcom made a game based on that cgi movie that just came out a few months ago. I think it was Leon and Claire (some girl, forgot who it is) and they were at an airport.

For the sake of Biohazard 5, I pray for no wii version. I'm not interested in playing a version that will be like watered down gatorade just because some people want to feel included. Waste of Capcom's time and money when they could be doing something else worthwhile.

I hope the Wii gets an exclusive new (yes new capcom, I know you like to port) Biohazard built with the wii in mind. (also not on rails capcom, you've done that too) That way weget2 new games built for there respective systems in mind instead of a crap port that most people will bash when they finally get the message that it wasn't built with the wii in mind.

I agree that even if it could be done it shouldn't. That style of art can't be done on the Wii so if they tried to do anything similar it would just look ugly in comparison. I would love to see a new game taking advantages of the Wii's strengths instead.

the graphics would suggest that it is impossible however the fact that it is on two systems means the engine is modable I just dont know if it would be possible to do it on the wii

From the demo looked like its possible on Wii , *maybe * this is where ppl assume its possible? ...will be getting the full game tomoro..will let you know then. But as Capcom stated no Wii version.

Wii can't handle a Reident Evil 5 game

People are always saying the Wii cant handle RE5, but have no idea what that means. Its like saying the SNES cant handle Mario Galaxy. Obviously they couldn't just take RE5 and dump it on the Wii and say done like a port is normally done. However they could make a game called RE5, they could make it an over the shoulder action game, they can put a number of enemies on the screen of all racial backgrounds of course, they could make huge bosses who wear belts made of people, it could star Chris Redfield and Sheeva Alomar, and it could have Albert Wesker as the bad guy. Would it be as pretty as the 360 version? No. Could it have as many enemies on the screen? No. Could it have the same detail on the characters and in the environments? No. Would it have online Co-op? Not Likely. The point is they could put RE5 on any system they feel like, it would just have obvious differences from the version coming on Friday. Hell they could put RE5 on the GBA if they wanted. The real question is Would they bring RE5 to the Wii? and to that I respond, No. If we got the effort of a spinoff that was not a simple rails shooter I would be surprised, but I fully expect ports and remakes for the immediate future.Sepewrath

NOTHING is impossible with the power of Nintendo! :P

No they wouldn't. They already have an engine that works perfectly fine on Wii: the RE4 engine. Ground up? No. Hell no.

Oh, and I snickered at the "could mario galaxy be done on the SNES" comment:

Well I didn't like the co-op thing with demo ..the ai is too dumb :P..eg. when you're dodging zombie & running away *SHE* decides to turn around & shoot then gets trap ..then HELP :? ..she even steals ammo & herbs. with a human player itd be great tho.

plus there's virtually no commmand @ all, you can't ask her to hide like you could with Ashley in RE4.

No they wouldn't. They already have an engine that works perfectly fine on Wii: the RE4 engine. Ground up? No. Hell no.Dingerious

Why would you tell a person with guns who is perfectly capable of taking care of themselves to hide. Its not like defenseless Ashley here.Sepewrath

hehehe true..if the ai were better I wouldn't hav to ask her to hide ;) its unecessary burden, with another human player on the same skills you won't be in the same trouble as you would with ai, ...there's virutally no command @ all for the ai except for calling her to come to you..(demo)

negatives things..with ai (demo)

steals/hogs ammo & herbs - then you hav get it all back

stands too close to explosive barrels

can't run or dodge properly - with urge to suddenly turn around & shoot & gets trapped

can't ask her to stay back..or just stop moving.

or maybe Im just too use to being the big he--man in RE4 :P

Just hope its better with the full game..I'll find out tomoro.

well if re4 make look the GC like e xbox why not and they are making dead space for wii so why not...but! i dont think capcom want to do that i mean they will earn alot! of money if they do that because they are alot of wii but! like i say i dont think they want...well im not waiting re5 for wii im waiting re5 for pc! hell yeahhhhh!!!!!!!! :P:lol:

and yes i know dead space belong to EA games but dead space have alot of graphics soooo RE5 could run on the wii with some downgrade on the graphics...

well the only thing ppl can do is wait...and wait...and wait...

In the spirit of being a kill joy since I enjoy it so much, Capcom's announcemnt is for another rail shooter for wii, Dark Side Chronicles. Enjoy, maybe This RE5 non sense can stop now

RE5 is not coming to the wii. capcom already said so.

close thread

People seem to have completely missed the point of my post well here is an example, Assassins Creed you know that game with the huge cities and tons of people in it that came out on the PS3/360, well it also came out on the DS. Its wasn't the same as its console bethern but the point is any game can be retooled for any console, however that doesnt mean that it will. Capcom will not bring RE5 to the Wii. And you cant just paste RE5 over RE4 because of the co-op and the way the game revolves around it.Sepewrath

its possible to run a slightly lesser graphic version just like they did with dead rising but it will or should nt be much more since it does look like only re4.5 graphically,

its capcom they dont want wii owners complaining aboiut the graphics etc etc, thats the real truth lol look at dead rising for example loads of people for uknown reasons were complaining about its graphics well guess what i ve play the game, and it doent look that awful even in comparision ,

since dead rising was near 360 launch it doesnt have that much polish to it to begin with like say madden 09 or wwe 09 , saints row 2 , these are definatelly games that would look in a way bad on wii because they need to down grade alot, unlike dead rising where as only few things are noticabel, 1 they baracaded some spots of the mall , ( thats the only downside any how not that those places were usful ,) theres still enough zombies to block your path lol, ya, re5 on wii would look like re4 pos lil better b ut its do able, that in fact, remember ps1 days where n64 was double the power

this gen is just like that but backwards , so in reality if they took the effort , they can put any game slated for xbox360 and ps3 on the wii to just have to cut back on graphics, and put on some motion controls or even use gc controller etc ,, eg dead space, its doable ,

those saying no its not, well you werent saying that when n64 had its software ported over to ps1 a much less technical platform

Listen to the IGN podcast.
They know what it is, and what they said is not to get too excited. It's not BIG. It's something You could very well enjoy but nothing spectacular. k.

In the spirit of being a kill joy since I enjoy it so much, Capcom's announcemnt is for another rail shooter for wii, Dark Side Chronicles. Enjoy, maybe This RE5 non sense can stop now

Point is, RE5 makes way, WAYYYYY more sense than porting Dead Rising.

It would be like trying to run RE4 on the original playstation.

Were not missing anything special going by some reviews which describe it as RE4 without the imagination or variety that was put into it.

The trouble was that Capcom since the very beggining (gamecube years) promissed loyalty to Nintendo about Resident Evil series, and if you read the interview of the spoken person from capcom marketing...you´ll see what am I talking about...well in any case let´s wait hopefully something good is coming

Oh god, are all of you complete morons?

It's not my fault that I have enough common sense to see what can and cannot work on Wii.

Your stupidity never ceases to amaze me. You post this every time there's a resi 5 thread, I then go on to tell you how wrong you are, but it never seems to get through to you.

RE5 is not running on a modded RE4 engine you dult! it is running on capcoms next gen engine, this is the same engine that lost planet and DMC4 run on. If you actually paid attention to the freaking animations in RE5 you would notice that are smoother annd more life like then the ones in RE4. The only reason you think they're the same is because the RE4 ones are similar but much stiffer. IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REBUILT FROME THE GROUND UP and the result would probably be as terrible as the wii dead rising game. Get over it

yes

RE5 is running on a modded RE4 engine. It even uses the same animations in places. Also, remember that the RE4 engine didn't even max out the GamCube. Wii has over double the RAM as well as a faster CPU/GPU. If they optimised their engine for Wii they COULD port it if they wanted to and make it like RE4.5 - bigger environments, more enemies on the screen at once. That's pretty much what RE5 is.

Point is, RE5 makes way, WAYYYYY more sense than porting Dead Rising.

The wii is capable of his own version of RE5. Capcom is just too lazy.Rod90

Considering the sheer number of awesome games they have been coming out with lazy is not a term I would use to describe them. Quite frankly it would be silly to put RE5 on the wii. They made a game im sure they are very proud of and don't want to have to cheapen it by putting it on the wiiwith its reduced capabilities. They can support the wii by making a fresh game for it using the system's own unique capabilities and that would be awesome.

I don't think you quite understand what "from the ground up" means.

It would have to be almost completely retooled to work on the wii. That is "from the ground up."

No, it wouldn't, and no, it's not.

Well now is official that RE5 is not gonna make it on Wii....but think that this port has more sense that Dead Rising port....well let´s hope that Dead Space will be an excellent one....thanks for the comments on this forum guys, see ya later.

Just for clarification, Resident Evil 5 doesn't use the RE4 engine. It uses the MT Framework engine, an engine developed for the 360, PS3, and PC. In addition to Resident Evil 5, it's been used in Dead Rising, Lost Planet, and Devil May Cry 4.

Played the game on PS3...up to chapter 3...

Well so far there's nothing in the game that makes me WOW!!! ...I don't think this can be done on Wii. So far everything in the game says it can be done ..the graphics isn't that flash - wish the water looked better...

Whoever says the title screen can't run on Wii is BS, I didn't notice anything special??...graphics can be dumb down @ 1080p/720p it might not work but @ 480p Wii definitely will work. The co-op human thing might be an issue tho...but with ai as companion it will work. eg. the new chick -> ashley with guns that's all I notice so far.

THe inventory menu? nothing special - you can change weapon on the spot/realtime ,,,not sure why they say that can't be done on Wii?

My theory why its not on Wii : Its the same type of game as RE4 - with bigger areas..*so those that hav said its RE4.5* seems to be right. The most important one is the control - the Wii motion control on this game would be superior, it make the deciding factor actually ..* I never understood why ppl complain abt the controls* thank God for the RE4 control config because the default control config is useless *maybe Im used to RE4 controls*

Leon had better melee combos :D

Opinion may change as I progress further into the game

BUT so far it doesn't look impossible on Wii really, ...the Wii control would make this game even better ;)

Its a good game :)

That's my view of the game so far
