Whao . . . who was that at the end?

Capcom is going to hell if they don't release this on Wii. Come on Capcom RE4 proves Wii is the best system to handle the gameplay of the RE franchise . . .

Edit: because it is not on Wii it will never be the greatest thing ever, just a watered down RE experience =P

Wow, it looks amazing. The first game that has seriously got me to consider getting a 360.

My hope, though, is that the temptation of money gets Capcom to pull a RE4 for the PS2 with it to maximize profits.

Mashiro · « **Reply #3 on:** July 26, 2007, 08:44:42 AM »

Yeah I am hoping the same Arbok. It looks graphically great but I don't think it'll need to be toned down too much for Wii to be able to handle it.

Plus, I can't see ever playing another RE game without a Wiimote. It just isn't right.

Kairon · « **Reply #4 on:** July 26, 2007, 08:45:22 AM »

That was a pretty good trailer. The Sony and MS Press conferences would have been so much better if they showed that in its entirety because it was so well done.

Too bad I will hate the control scheme since it won't use the wiimote aiming, and too bad the protagonist isn't African. For some inexplicable reason I'm getting this "White Man goes to Africa, saves the world" vibe that's similar to Tom Cruise in the last samurai... "White man goes to Japan, redeems samurai culture."

It probably will be rather significant due to the number of enemies on screen at one time, if it were to happen. I could more than handle a significant decrease in graphics, though, if it saved me from having to buy a whole new system.

Maybe but do we know for sure? Have developers REALLY pushed the Wii to it's limits yet?

Not really, only time will tell what it can handle =) (I know you said probably but I think the Wii could handle a lot of enemies on screen, I do).

I do as well, but WITH a significant decrease to the graphics to better handle it.

Mashiro · « **Reply #8 on:** July 26, 2007, 09:04:40 AM »

Well even if it was brought down to RE4 style graphics I still think that's pretty good.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #9 on:** July 26, 2007, 09:08:29 AM »

Man, if this doesn't come to Wii I may have to get a 360. I think downscaling for the Wii would work from what I see so far.

Wow, nice!
I want this game, I need it!
Damn you Microsoft!

Ceric · « **Reply #11 on:** July 26, 2007, 10:10:57 AM »

Can't wait till this trailer and Heavenly Sword Demo download. Then I watch it on TV and see if I missed anything. Though it looks a lot like RE4 in Africa.

About the jist of it, but are you really surprised? I mean it's Capcom... you will have to wait till RE8 before they change up the series again in a major way.

Ceric · « **Reply #13 on:** July 26, 2007, 10:24:25 AM »

I know. They even have the little Scythe and man, who looks a lot like Malcom X, yelling at them like the villagers had in RE4. Also I wonder whats up with the lava and the person, who sort of looks like oh whats his name from RE4, in the water at the end of the trailer?

Caliban · « **Reply #14 on:** July 26, 2007, 12:56:09 PM »

Why is everyone talking about downscaling to Wii, why not upscale the RE4 engine to Wii specs and remake RE5 on the Wii for the Wii exclusively for the Wii...oh wait, it's Capcom, 'nough said.

Mashiro · « **Reply #15 on:** July 26, 2007, 12:58:16 PM »

I bet RE5 is running on an upscaled RE4 engine =)

but yeah still for the love of God Capcom PLEASE give us RE5. You know it in your hearts to be the only way to make RE5 a true masterpiece (by putting it on the Wii!)

Caliban · « **Reply #16 on:** July 26, 2007, 01:09:11 PM »

So should we send plastic poo to Capcom's headquarters and demand RE5 on Wii?

Mario · « **Reply #17 on:** July 26, 2007, 01:39:01 PM »

This game just isn't possible on Wii, thankfully by the time it releases Nintendos next system should be almost out.

capamerica · « **Reply #18 on:** July 26, 2007, 05:00:21 PM »

I really hope the Wii gets a version of this.
If the PS2 could get a downgraded version of RE4 why can't the Wii get a downgraded version of RE5?

If all else fails I guess I can always pick it up for my Xbox360

IceCold · « **Reply #19 on:** July 26, 2007, 06:13:35 PM »

Graphics aside, I was actually put off by that trailer.. After seeing Pro's videos of RE4:Wii, I was like "Damn, this aiming looks clunky" when they showed the actual gameplay.

It wasn't really a problem when I played RE4 on the Cube, but hell, the aiming in the trailer looks even more sluggish than the original RE4. Plus, I've been spoiled by the pointer, so give me a Wii version or give me death Capcom!

Adrock · « **Reply #20 on:** July 26, 2007, 07:07:07 PM »

1. This game will never be graphically downgraded for Wii. It's not worth it. Capcom might as well a brand new game.

2. Since RE5 will never be made for Wii, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Capcom does, in fact, make a brand new RE game with RE4:WE controls. Maybe a side-story, but within series canon.

3. Honestly, RE5 just looks like a prettier RE4. I doubt it'll wow me as much as RE4 first did back in 2005. Don't get me wrong. That's not a bad thing. I'll probably buy RE5 on 360 when it comes out, but I can't see myself being blown away by the game.

You know that's exactly what I thought, and it's a damn shame too. A black man would have fit in so much better. Anyway, what pisses me off is that I can imagine racist motherf#ckers like my past roommate yelling racial slurs as this white dude on-screen kills like a hundred Africans.

That and why is this dude look like he has the Ebola virus?

Still, the game looks great. I love the animation. It looks so hectic and life-like (my favorite part is when he throws a guy off, steps up, and knocks him out).

Oh and BRANDOGG: SHORTEN THE LINK IT"S BREAKING THE TABLE. USE THE HTML TAG AND CHANGE THE LINK INTO A WORD.

As you can tell from my prior posts I feel the same way.

I find myself thinking "man if I even had a 360 or PS3 would I really enjoy the game knowing that superior controls rest on the Wii?". Sadly I don't think I would. Oh well.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #23 on:** July 27, 2007, 04:08:02 PM »

I don't think RE5 runs on an upscaled RE4 engine - I remember reading that the Dead Rising and Lost Planet's engined have evolved into what is being used for RE5.

bustin98 · « **Reply #24 on:** July 27, 2007, 06:01:35 PM »

Just watched the trailer, and I agree with those who say it looks like RE4 but prettier. Yah, it looks awesome, but if the controls are improved by the Wii, isn't it the gameplay that makes or breaks the game? Really, it makes me say 'Didn't I already play that? It looks like the village, but its daytime and set in Africa.'

I'd bet that Capcom is closely watching the sales of RE4 on Wii, then the sales of Umbrella Chronicles. If RE4 out performs UC, what kind of message does that send to Capcom? Well, now that I said it, I'm thinking they'll say 'Silly Wii owners prefer ports to original content'. Of course they won't say 'Silly Wii owners prefer action games to On Rail pseudo lightgun games'.

I'm not holding my breathe for RE5 on Wii, but I would hazard a guess at another action title in the RE universe.
