Topic: Resident Evil 5 Skipped Wii Due to Developer Ambitions

It would be less of a port than a recreation of RE5 using RE4's development, planning, and resource management processes.  Recreate the assets for the RE4 engine, start in a relatively bare-bones setting, then include more objects as available resources allows.

Dead Rising took the opposite approach and went to hell:  it tried to shoehorn the mall architecture/floorplan/loading structure onto Wii hardware, overshooting the available resources.  RE4's structure worked as it did because the architecture (and thus the size of memory-loaded rooms) was limited accordingly with the GameCube hardware in mind.  So in Dead Rising's case, a lot of resources are being sucked into rendering the different shops and shelves and nooks and crannies, leaving little for the actual zombie models and character counts.  A complete custerfluck.

Love it. 

First Capcom leaves Sony to develop for the Gamecube and Nintendo fans rejoice but when it does the opposite they pound-their-fists and cry like little babies. 

I wouldn't be surprised to see this title ported to WII 2. 

Its the cycle of life, my friend.

Suddenly The Lion King started playing in my head.

I'd rather they not port it, but make a new game instead.

I heard the later games in the series sucked so I would either want a new team to make a new Wii version or have them remake the first ones.

I want a sequel to Umbrella Chronicles that details the events of RE2, RE:CV, and RE4. I don't need RE5 on the Wii.

I just realized that I posted this in the wrong thread. I meant to post this in the Silent Hill on Wii thread. Silly me and having multiple tabs open on the RFN forum.
