Topic: Resident Evil 4 Wiimake on Gamestop's database

[Jin-X]

For $29.99

If true, it should have the PS2 extras plus 16:9.

[Smash_Brother]

What were the PS2 extras?

EDIT: Never mind, found out.

[Jin-X]

You know what would be really cool? If you could use the chainsaw now. Also a lil graphic boost would be nice; not that it matters much since the GC RE4 puts 3rd party Wii games to shame in that department.

I believe you mean RESuDENT EVuL 4 is being revived on Wii.

I've played the PS2 version and "Separate ways" is a really good side story as it shows how Ada viewed some of the events that happened in Leon's story.

EDIT: And I'm going to bet my nuts that some people will see this in a negative light. I GUARANTEE IT!

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

UH OH, LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER PS2 CALL OF DOOKIE 3 WII-PORT

And really, is Capcom even smart enough to upgrade the Ada Missions to GameCube-quality assets, or just directly port the downgraded PS2 assets with sausage-pointer functionality thrown in?

Signs point Capcom telling us to "go forth and multiply"

Now I could see it happening since this does sound like something Capcom would do, but Gamestop isn't the most reliable of sources.

[Dirk Temporo]

I don't get how this would work. I mean, I can see using the pointer for aiming, but will it still move around like it did on hte other consoles? Because if it does, that could really screw you up, since you're pointing one place, and the Wii sees you pointing at that place, but the actual pointer is somewhere else on the screen.

On the other hand, if they DIDN'T have the pointer movement, the game would be ridiculously easy.

[BranDonk Kong]

Link doesn't work.

I don't know what you're talking about. Capcom is known to be extremely careful with their intellectual properties. They rarely port older titles onto new hardware, especially Resident Evil.

Anyway, it looks like Gamestop made a boo-boo. The page doesn't exist, but if you search "Resident Evil 4" you can see the Wii Version at the very bottom.

Here: RE4 Wii Version

I'd buy it again, granted they include all the extras from the PS2 version and add some more.

[Bill Aurion]

Uh oh, seems they either made a mistake or showed something they weren't supposed to...

I personally would buy the game again if they added the PS2 extra content...A boost in visuals would be a nice touch, but at 30 dollars I guess we'll be lucky if they add the PS2 content...

"They rarely port older titles onto new hardware, especially Resident Evil."

Haha, Code Veronica on PS2 and RE2, RE3, and CV on GC say "Sup!"... =)

[Jin-X]

They seem to have taken it down, guess somebody is going to catch some sh!t over this for either putting it up before they were allowed to or for just making stuff up.

Ditto.
If this rumor is confirmed by Capcom, I hope they'll upgrade all the PS2 extras to match the GC's visuals.  

[Ceric]

Personally I like a full collection of all the Gamecube Resident Evils.  Plus a bump up using the larger assets they probably have for 4 and the PS2 stuff as well.  Sell that at regular price.  I could finally see what the fuss was about with all the other ones and beat RE4 (Was borrowing my brothers copy but he needed it back before I could beat it and I lost the memory card in the move.)

Getting quite irritating with all the talk of remake this and port that and trying to make it seem like some serious thought has gone into the game..

The worst thing is if gamers decide to be prudent and take a wait and see approach, or if they decide that its not worth playing a port or remake, then all the third parties start complaining about not selling on nintendo consoles, and instead of blaming themselves for not putting the effort into making the game, they blames the wii owners for only wanting nintendo produced games and stuff. Capcom need to put their money where their mouth is and come up with more than that really......

I'm starting to get worried, I remember the wii was supposed to be 2-3 times more powerful than the gamecube, Find it weird that I'm still playing games that look technically less advanced than the gamecube. Nintendo has to show these third parties how its done I think.

[mantidor]

I wouldn't buy it again and I hate all the people who would. I want a new game, RE5 or a new one, but not a damn port!

[Luigi Dude]

Well there is Umbrella Chronicles for the Wii that's supposed to come out this year.  Capcom's having a game event on April 12, so hopefully they'll finally reveal something new about that game then.

[Caliban]

Capcom, give us original adult oriented IPs or GTFO of buisness.

He was probably being sarcastic there.. (considering he should know that the original RE game is on nearly every platform known)  

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

"Rebecca Chambers and the Jill Sandwich" for Wii.

Features innovative rumbling-remote gameplay.

[Viewtiful mario]

Usually I'd be negative at this but after playing Godfather, I'm confident in what remakes for the wii can do to old games.  Plus, RE4 kicks the snot out of anything else that's been ported.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Yeah, even TP.

Pfft,gh,hutt  I'm talking mainly about games that were relesed sometime ago, TP was a wii game when it first came out and will always be remembered as a wii game.

This is a legit concern, but the way the Wii is selling it will pass the Xbox 360 in total sales this year so they won't have a choice but to support the Wii strongly.

[Adrock]

I'd be more worried about a possible RE4 port if Umbrella Chronicles wasn't announced. Then, I'd think Capcom was just being Capcom again. UC was good enough for me. However, I won't say no to a reworked version of an amazing game (granted it plays well). Beats the hell out of the straight ports of RE titles on Gamecube.

I considered using an emoticon, but opted against it because I thought the comment spoke for itself. Silly me, tricks are for kids....
