Expect RE Wii news in Game Informer and/or Famitsu some weeks earlier.

Capcom has been on such a roll lately. I hope they don't mess this up.

Production Studio 4 isn't working on either RE Wii or RE5.
From what I understand, PS4 as it was basically is now defunct. Mikami left to Clover Studio, and much of Clover's staff from what I understand is PS4 staff.
So no, in a true sense neither RE Wii or RE5 will be direct sequels to RE4 ... because the original staff is no longer working on either of those games. I wouldn't expect RE5 before 2008 anyway. RE Wii maybe a bit earlier because they can reuse the RE4 engine directly.

besides, my post was an expression of grief. production studio 4 break-up ftl
Well, to be fair, it's only Capcom's fault that Studio 4 went and croaked. Not trying to be a fanboy or whatever, but it is true.
Mikami basically said that he was willing to "cut his neck" if RE4 ended up on another system, and when Capcom decided to outsource RE4 to another Production Studio for the PS2 port...Mikami made good on his "threat", taking his leave of Capcom and the former Studio 4 for Clover Studios, and took a majority of his posse that made up that studio with him.
So, while Mikami is still basically on the Capcom payroll (cuz Clover is basically owned by Capcom), him being a part of Clover now pretty much means that we'll never see Mikami touch a RE game ever again. He's got his own projects that will probably keep him busy for some time to come now.
For right now, I'm remaining optimistic for the sake of RE Wii and 5. But Capcom also has a rather "questionable" record of what can happen when one of their main franchises loses its main force that made it so much of a success, as evidenced by the likes of Rockman X6 and X7, Devil May Cry 2 and Capcom fighting games made after 2001, for example. Hopefully, for RE being one of Capcom's most prominent franchises (after Rockman), they'll make sure the quality will at least remain the same...

Wasn't this shown in Famitsu already? It's a gun survivor game with characters from the series. Ada, Leon, Chris etc.

Half of PS4 staff that didn't move to Clover studio still doing something which I guess almost is about technique stuff (not the game design). They need new team leader (after Mikami , Inaba and Kamiya moved) . Otherwise , PS4 will be defunct until Capcom combine them to other team (Which now Inafune is taking over Capcom by Rockman,Onimusha,Lost Planet, RE5 and Dead Rising)

leech zombies freaked me out, man. tribal drums were a strange and brilliant choice.
I loved the way the game was made with both characters and how you wee able to control them. This game used it perfectly. Kinda coll was to see the story behind RE and the game actually felt like a RE. Unlike a gimmicky game just using the RE name.

I thought Kobayashi was still at PS4. He pretty much made RE4 what it is today.

Kobayashi was the producer, Mikami the director. Mikami definitely is the main man behind RE4. But with that said, any talented director at Capcom could pick up the idea and engine and make a great game with it.

Not sure what to think on this one. Would a RE2 really work with the RE4 engine? I mean, the environs seem a lot more claustrophobic, even compared to the smaller RE4 levels (castle). RE4-2 I doubt would live up without Mikami, and Gun Survivor would be another Gun Survivor.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
I want Jill Valentine spin-off a la Claries in Code Veronica.
And with Chris being the main character in Re5, its high-time we had another female lead.

Hmm... Well I can hope for an RE4 - 2. Maybe it will be RE6? That would be crazy, but doubtful. I could only imagine RE4 graphics x2 with the Wii controller. As for RE2, if they have ambitions on a remake, I hope it's just for the DS...

just thinking about claire walking with the lighter down the prison hallway in the first five minutes of the game gives me chills. and shooting nosferatu on the rooftop with the sniper rifle? don't get me started!
i think we did him a favor.

That was awesome. The whole "cold part" of the game was pretty sweet, especially the mock mansion.
Pretty tough endgame I thought.

From the link vala posted:
-Is Production Studio #4 still active, or has the entire staff moved to Clover?
In fact, we split the department in two. There were about 120 people at Production Studio #4. We made a 50/50 split, 60 each.
There were a few people who wanted to follow us immediately. Then we asked each staff member if he or she wanted to try the Clover Studio adventure or not. It was just a simple and direct question.
