I really hope it'll be better than the last Capcom release I played (Lost Planet). And as for "who cares", lots of people care. Plenty of people don't have a 360 or a planned PS3 so some Resi for the Wii will be welcomed by a lot of people. If it's anywhere near the high quality of RE4 it will be fantastic and a must-buy for the console.
Having said that, my 360 hungers for RE5 anyway. |

I'd be happy with a GC Resi4 port with proper widescreen display (scaling looks awful on an LCD tv) like they did for the graphically-inferior PS2 port. Well, throw in a few more polygons too if there's time, but the Wii would seem the ideal hardware for a "definative" RE4 combining the GC graphics with the PS2 enhacements.

Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles and Resident Evil 5 are different games, so no RE5 hasn't been moved to the Wii. Could be delayed though, as varsas hints, but last I heard about RE5 it wasn't due till (early?) next year anyway.
As far as I can tell RE:UC will fill some of the caps and give us more info about Umbrella Corp, whereas RE5 will be the next proper sequel. |

I hope it hurries up - this is the game i got a Wii for!
Outside of the conventional series numbering, have any of the other Resident Evil games been any good? I feel not but I don't know because I'm not a fan of the series. What I'm trying to get at is: don't put all your hopes on a title that may not get priority in terms of developing resources over RE5. Shoot me if I'm wrong though! |

I don't care if they delay Resi 5 if they end up making it "the best game of 2008" or whatever, RE4 is still an amazing game (on gamecube) so much droolage waiting for RE5 (and patiently too, again do it properly Capcom!).
As for this Wii version, might be ok but I hope they don't nerf it too much and make it too gimicky just because they have to use the wiimote. They could basically do an upgrade to RE4 style game (easily doable on the Wii as it was on the slightly inferior Gamecube) and implement the Wiimote perfectly with that over the shoulder viewpoint. Would be nice to see a full game (like RE4) and not some collection of motion sensing mini-games for once. |

"EDIT: Fucking Resistance ads are screwing up my typing. "
I thought I was the only one. The ads in general are pissing me off anyway, as the site seems to have gotten a whole lot slower and less reliable in the last few weeks since the new ads were put up. The GRAW2 was particularly bad as I recall. EG, sort it. |

I think it borrows the best parts of Resident Evil 1 and adds in alot of new things as well. But the story and most of the game will be completely new to Umbrella Chronicles.
It's looking good and maybe it'll be out just before Christmas, pefect for me as I'll be getting my Wii then! |

Right, this obviously is going to use the resi-4 engine from the cube. Which looked stunning. 'Sup it up a bit to allow for the extra power, memory, and running from a dvd and it could be something special.
(and that'd account for the short dev time too.. no need to rewrite engine from scratch)
