That Blair Witch camera style is cool when done right, but I hate it when it's over done, because it makes things so hard to see.

None of my friends seemed bothered by it, but when I asked "What if it was called a Chink Cookie?" they suddenly got my point.
The word "Jap" is racist.
It sounds wrong, because it IS wrong.
What I didn't expect to see was people actually defending the use of the word!
if it's offensive to a certain group of people, we should strive to not say it, right?
I'm confused, someone says, "Hey, this term is construed as a racial slur by some people," and we're arguing that they are wrong?
I accept that the term may be used as a slur and would prefer not to offend people. I don't think anyone is arguing that people might use the abbreviation and not know what it means, of course that is going to happen, I think the point is that you should be cognizant of the term and know not to use it because some people might take offense. Why is this so complicated?
Anyone remember the arcade game "Brave Firefighters"? That game came out in 1999...
I wonder what fans will pay attention to the most...if the game actually delivers in all fronts or if its a solid seller.
RF wireless works because it uses a USB devices connected to the computer/wii. If it uses one of those, then the device it's connected to it doesn't even know it's a wireless keyboard, it just knows it's a keyboard. It will work.
Capcom could do it. Even those screenshots don't look impossible, Tuxedo Bond. Good skinning can easily negate notice of low poly models. Furthermore, coding in a progressive, distance-based level of detail would hardly be a big deal and have been used in games for over a decade now.
Besides, any game engine designed with displaying many characters on screen at once will most likely be properly coded to do so. Look at Serious Sam. That game still looks pretty good today, yet would easily run on even modest systems back when it was initially released. You could always expect to see tons of enemies at any given time, all in ridiculously wide-open areas.
The only thing that can hold this game back from looking and playing exactly like the 360 version is laziness on the part of Capcom.
Dead Rising wasn't a particularly beautiful or detailed game. The Wii is more than capable of handling MANY zombies on the screen at once. Remember, Nintendo had the Gamecube doing such things before it even released. Given that the Wii happens to be even stronger, there is no reason why this can't be accomplished.

Some of the screen shots from Famitsu have quite a few enemies on-screen (particularly the one with the chain saw on the first page). However, since I'm not overly familiar with the original, I can't say how it compares.
Hopefully this game will prove the Wii can handle the same games the 360 and PS3 can which will open the door to more multi-platform titles in addition to the expected exclusives. The majority of the 360/PS3's extra power goes to HD graphics anyway. So taking away the HD and maybe lowering the textures and polygon count a little if necessary should make this and any other title playable on the Wii with the unique controls making up for the compromised graphics which won't even be all that noticeable on a standard television.
I see no reason RE5 can't appear on the Wii as well. It's really nothing but RE4 with HD graphics.
I'm not sure if the increase in size is justified. SuperNES games came in at MUCH lower sizes... I'm not sure that OGG music and additional frames are worth it in what is essentially a puzzle game.
But I'm a wannabe badass about Square games!
A 3 hour game for $10 is the same time to price ratio as a 15 hour game for $50, and those are pretty common.
So this game is better than the best rpg of the year; the world ends with you?
HAHAHAHAHA, another proof of why this site has some of the worst reviews in the internet.
Pathetic "journos"
Excellent! I never thought this would happen after the Earthbound demo was ganked from Smash Brothers. I'm glad I was wrong.
