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.

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.

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.

Damn right

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

Resident Evil Wii better be in continuity dammit

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.

 

[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.

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.
