No Resident Evil 5: Wii?

[Zenien]

Takeuchi also went all uncomfortable and apologetic when we asked him about Resident Evil Wii, saying he didn't know if there would be one. Although when we put our puppy-dog eyes on, he did at least concede that there might be a teensy chance of seeing such a game. We're taking that as a promise, and if we don't see a Resi Wii eventually we're going to call him up and cry down the phone.

Weird.

My latest issue of Nintendo Power talks as though a Resident Evil for the Wii is a lock, just not necessarily RE 5 that will be on the other consoles. But I'll live if there isn't one.

[hippie_hunter]

This article has given me hope that Resident Evil 5 will end up on the Wii. A teensy bit of hope is better than the none there was previously.

[Benstamania]

I've heard MANY different rumors about Resident Wiivil. From 5 COULD end up on the Wii, to an all new RE franchise on the Wii. I've also read that the RE Wii game could star Leon again.

Who know's, I'm sure if the Wii sells bucketloads...and it will, Capcom will either put RE5 or another RE on it.

[GoldenAgeHero]

i hope they change the camera angle.

[Mr. Credible]

i doubt that re5 will end up on the wii. they'd have to dumb it down quite a bit.

it'll have it's own re game, though.

and i loved the camera angle in re4, i thought it was a perfect game in every sense of the word.

[Tapela]

Damn I thought Capcom had confirmed a Resident Evil game for wii. I was really looking forward to that. Hopefully when Wii launches they will consider it and officially announce it down the line in time.

I agree with everything you said.

That was a misunderstanding. There's an update in the article that says that he misunderstood the question of Resident Evil 5 being on the Wii (he says that there is a small chance), not the details of the Resident Evil game being made by the Wii

[Manny Calavera]

Why exactly would anything need to be 'dumbed down' for the Wii in any ways, save for graphics?

[Mentok]

Wii wont be getting RE5. It will be getting an exclusive RE title though.

[Manny Calavera]

I know, but I still don't see why people in this thread are saying that RE5 would need to be dumbed down if it were ported. It makes no sense.

[Mentok]

Just moree silly thinking that the Wii is a lesser console.

The only thing that woul be changed would be the graphics. The controlls IMO would be much better when converted over onto the Wii.

They are building a new game from the ground up just for the Wii anyway so I cant wait.

[Manny Calavera]

Hopefully they use the controller for more than just camera control/aiming. The series has actually successfully introduced new elements (the co-op thing with RE: Zero for instance), so I have some faith in them to not treat the controller like a gimmick.

[hippie_hunter]

I know, but I still don't see why people in this thread are saying that RE5 would need to be dumbed down if it were ported. It makes no sense.

Damn right

[hippie_hunter]

Wii wont be getting RE5. It will be getting an exclusive RE title though.

It'll be wierd now. I have the Gamecube versions of Resident Evil 0-4 + Code Veronica, and now I won't be getting my 5. What the hell :mad:

Resident Evil Wii better be in continuity dammit :mad:

[TheGrayGhost]

I know, but I still don't see why people in this thread are saying that RE5 would need to be dumbed down if it were ported. It makes no sense.

Only one person said so.

If Wii gets an exclusive RE game staring Leon, then **** RE 5. This newbie's got nothing on Kennedy's badassity..... save for the lack of an emo hair cut.

[WhatsHisFace]

Resident Wiivil.
:up:

[Psylocke8]

i hope they change the camera angle.


I liked the camera angle in RE 4. You could see and explore more. Also they said that they were gonna use the same gameplay model intoduced in RE 4

[Mentok]

New 1up.com article confirming that RE is still coming to Wii. It wont be RE5 (that was built an a X360/PS3 game). Wii will be getting its own game custom built to the Wii hardware.

First bits of Resident Wiivil info
September 2nd, 2006

A bit of info from REHorror…

news 248 1Voice actress Tara Platt is to do Jill Valentine in the upcoming RE:Wii game. She confirmed to us that the game will feature zombies (or at the least, zombie-like enemies) and plant creatures, as well as a wide array of weaponry. The fact that Ms. Platt was aware of the weapons in the game infers that she is voicing a playable character and is not just doing a cameo. Jill being the main character increases the likelihood of seeing Carlos or Barry turn up as well.

There is also a bit of unconfirmed info coming from Gamespot’s community…

Read this from a games magazine in HK today - its called Biohazard : Umbrella Corp Chronicles and fills in the story on Umbrella before and leading to BH4. Gameplay is a mix between using the Wiimote as a light gun and BH4 style elements e.g. action buttons pressing X for a dramatic scene. It features scenarios from BH1 (museum), BH2 (police station), BH3 (raccoon city), BHCV and BH4 (village) and ties in the gaps especially BHCV and BH4. Characters include Chris/Claire, Leon / Ada, Jill / Carlos, Rebecca, Hunk and Wesker . There are two gameplay modes - scenario mode and arcade mode. Proper announcement to be made by Capcom at TGS

We do know that the Chinese magazine HK was due to print info on Resident Wiivil on September 1st, but I cannot confirm that the above statement is true. To sum things up, the Jill Valentine bit is 100% true, and the Gamespot info is very likely. Thanks to Temp, Creamsugar, and Granvillekidd for the heads up.

[Mentok]

Just like every other Wii game.:o

No. The CoD3 game is the same as the PS2 and Xbox versions, same for Blazing Angles and a dozen other games that are coming to Wii.

REWii is a project independant of the other 2 RE games coming out next year.

This is exactly what I was hoping for when I heard about the Wii. Now just keep the camera (it was perfect, I will not tolerate anything less) and give me a shotgun pod for the wiimote... and a working chainsaw... for... uhhhh... garden art... and we're all set.




















































...and I won't have to do all those bad things to the people in the basement that mr. fuzz fuzz keeps telling me to aaaaaaaaanymore...

[hippie_hunter]

I'm glad that the Resident Evil game for the Wii will at least be incontinuity with the series.

However, put Resident Evil 5 on the Wii too dammit!

[GoldenAgeHero]

nah they need to change the camera.

[Axid]

nah they don't.

[Horrorfan]

I am glad this isn't RE5. I want to buy a wii to get a different experience to the other consoles, not to have the same game with h a gimmick.

This game alone will make me pick up a wii, especially if that rumour about it going back to old school RE is true

[Psylocke8]

Gret find Golden Age Hero :D

Biohazard: Umbrella Chronicles revealed
Wednesday 13-Sep-2006 12:10 PM Events leading to Resi 4 to be revealed? Well, so say reports - and more besides

Capcom somewhat inadvertently has unveiled a new Resi title, Biohazard: Umbrella Chronicles in Japan, according to reports from Japanese games bible Famitsu (Biohazard is the Japanese name of the series for those of you not in the know).

Details on the game are currently sketchy, but it's being suggested that Umbrella Chronicles covers Umbrella's story/operations prior to, and leading up to, Resident Evil 4 and that it additionally fills in plot blanks between other existing Resi titles.

In connection with this, there's talk of locations from previous games in the survival horror series being included, and with Producer Masachika Kawata who was responsible for Res Evil 4 and Onimusha in the frame for dev duties, it might well be the Res Wii-ville we're salivating for - or something else entirely.



How on the money these details are, we can't say, but it's reckoned Capcom will fully unveil Resident Evil on Wii at the Tokyo Game Show later this month. Whether Biohazard: Umbrella Chronicles is one and the same or an entirely different Biohazard covert op, well, there's not long to wait and see

Potential spoilers and details but just rumours for now

Biohazard Wii indepth Extensive information on the gameplay and content of RE:Wii has surfaced.

-The game consists of 4 "chapters", RE1's mansion, RE2's RPD, RE3's city areas and RE4's village (plus surrounding areas).
-Each chapter has 2 characters to choose from. RE1 has Jill and Chris, RE2 has Leon and Claire, RE3 has Jill and Carlos and RE4 has Leon and Ada.
-There are several characters that can be unlocked by playing through the game: Rebecca Chambers, Hunk and Albert Wesker.
-The gameplay of all chapters is designed around RE4's. Press the B trigger on the wiimote to go into over-the-shoulder view, aim with the pointer and press A to fire.
-The game will have QTEs, but rather than push buttons you have to make motions with the wiimote in order to get through them.
-All characters will have mêlée attacks, just like RE4.
-To encourage replayablility, each character has strengths and weaknesses, similar to how in RE4:Mercenaries Ada had the least health, Krauser was the slowest, etc.
-Just like in RE4:Mercenaries each character has a unique set of weapons. What's more players can only carry 2 weapons at any one time. Chris gets a pistol and shotgun whilst Jill gets a pistol and grenade launcher.
-You will be able to find several new weapons during each stage. For example, RE1 will have Richard's shotgun, RE2 will have the Desert Eagle, RE4 will have the Chicago Typewriter. There will also be new weapons like Krauser's anti-personnel robots.
-Similar to Devil May Cry 3, after each chapter you can save your data and any new weapons picked up will be available for use in Arcade Mode.
-Arcade Mode is like a giant Mercenaries minigame. No puzzles or story, just pick a character and a stage and blast through it. Building on the resounding success of Mercenaries seen when RE4 was released.
-Scenario Mode will feature a large number of ingame cutscenes.
-New content not in the games that the chapters were based on will be added. The primary goal of this will be to link RE4 and Umbrella's status in it more closely with the rest of the series.
-Ammo conservation will play a part in the gameplay, so it's not just constant action like RE4.
-Trailer coming at TGS.

360 and Sony can keep RE5. UC sounds a helluvalot better.

[Zenien]

Considering that we haven't heard anything substancial about RE5 yet REWii doesn't sound better or worse.

Anyway, I'll be picking up both RE games, I'm pretty sure.

I'll be picking them both up for sure.
