Man, I was so excited back when they released the cube remake of RE and then they started doing subsequent releases of RE 2, 3, and CV:X.

When I bought those games I thought they were completely remastered much like they did with RE 1 on the gamecube, but I was sadly disappointed.

But now that they’re remaking the best Resident Evil game pre RE4, I will be buying that, but I wonder if it would make use of the systems motion controls.

Our RE5 isn’t going to be some nasty downgraded port. Sure, it won’t LOOK as good as the other versions, but it’ll probably play better than they will. The announcement of RE5 Wii was accidentally leaked by the vice president of Sega….for some reason. I have no clue why Sega would be involved but ther’s probably a valid reason for it.

Let’s also not forget that Capcom gave us Umbrella Chronicles, RE4 Wii Edition (and RE:0 Wii Edition in Japan only) to test Resident Evil’s popularity and playability on the Wii. And I believe we all know exactly how well things have gone so far. From a business standpoint, Capcom stands to lose much if this game ISN’T put on the Wii as well. Logically, one can safely assume Wii owners will not be left out. They’ll just have to wait longer than the rest.

I have no comment other than the image on this post is of the same copier we use, with the exact same options no less.

*barf*

At least the RE4 port made SOME sense because the controls improved and the extras from the PS2 version were added in. I’m not so sure I want to play RE2.5

I agree that it’d be nice if instead they tried something original instead of a nasty downgraded port.

So Sven typing one sentence on the Capcom forums qualifies as a corporate-wide “debunk”?

As an RE fanatic, I would probably buy an RE 2 remake, but I seriously don’t want one. The original RE needed a remake because the jump in quality from RE to RE2 was huge. RE2 is still a great game. It doesn’t need a remake. I’m getting really tired of game companies doing “remakes”. There is PLENTY of room in the RE timeline to make a new RE game that fills in more of the gaps of the storyline. Umbrella Chronicles was ok but didn’t nearly fill in as much as it was touted to. How about a game set in the timeline letting us know what happened to Rebecca? Or how about some more games set between the events of RE3/RE:CV and RE4? Again….there should be plenty to work with.

Besides, if they really wanted to remake some games, remake Survivor, which IS a canonical game. Or even remake Gaiden for the DS.

As far as RE5 on the Wii…ummm considering what we’ve seen in trying to downgrade Dead Rising to the Wii, I don’t want to see a downgrade of RE5 to the Wii.

Not only is RE5 NOT coming out for the Wii, but neither is. This was already debunked on GoNintendo guys.

I’m sure this will be great, but Holy Christ I can’t wait for RE5, It looks absolutely bananas! I’ll get this to though (if it’s real…buzzkills)

Ummmm…you guys DO know that the Wii is getting RE5, right? We’ll be getting it later than everyone else, but it IS coming for us.
