There was a topic about this recently - basically the Wii version just stretches the image, rather than rendering in a higher resolution, and makes use of the Wii's ability to use the "flicker filter" in 480p to blur the image. (the Gamecube's flicker filter was automatically disabled when you enabled 480p)

bumpkin, I had the exact same suspicions as you. The true widescreen seems to have hurt the game more than it helped it.
If Capcom bumped the color depth up to 24-bit the game would have looked fine. The PS2 version's widescreen was achieved in the same manner, but it was 24-bit so it had a better image quality.

Yeah I've just gone back and played the game today (I was the one saying that it wasn't true, I was very wrong
)Still, I'd much rather play it in 16 x 9 even with the blur and besides, you can always just set the game to 4 x 3 and stretch the image like with the GCN version (Although you'd still have to put up with the flicker filter)
Ok, so i need some help GAF.
I want to play the wii version of this game, but I recently played through the entire first disc of the gamecube version and I dont want to do that stuff again.
Is there a way to start from the point of the second disc? Any game saves online that start where the second gamecube disc begins?
I have seen 100% complete game saves, is it possible to go back to specific points in the game once you have beaten the entire thing?

Use the SMG on his legs/feet and once he kneels down slash him with the knife.
The knife is your best friend against ol' Krausey! Seriously, I know this sounds crazy, but get him in a corner or at a ledge so his backflips have no effect, then get up in his face and start slashing your Wiimote like a mofo!Laurent said:
You should bring him to his knees with one or two slashes (when his shield-arm is lowered), then a slash to the head will do some serious damage.
Be ready to dodge (always a flick of the Wiimote anyway) his arm-charge attacks, then just close in on him when he backflips away again.
Repeat and enjoy a very efficient and cost-effective kill!
Yeah, I am hawful with the knife... You really do use the "wave-the-wii-remote-to-slash" feature? I found it impossible to aim... I really only use my knife against... wooden boxes! :lol
Anyway, I'll give it a try... It's not as if it was the first time I was finishing the game!

Sat down and went from 1-2 to 3-1(savepoint after first meeting with Sally)
Seriously the Wii controls are such an improvement over the PS2/Gamecube controls IMO I find it impossible to go back to standard.

I literally just played through the first disc.
Ok, so can anyone tell me which chapter is the beginning of the second disc so I know what I should download? Also, can one go back to a specific point in the game once they have beaten it, cuz if so I will just download a 100% file

Hehe, yeah. Maybe i was playing to RE4 to slowly and finished it somewhere around 10 minutes shy of a full 15 hours. But i think the game could have ended an hour or two earlier, the boss, the one, before

Unless that 100% file happens to have a typewriter entry at chapter 5-1, then no. There's no chapter select function (unfortunately).KarishBHR said:
Seriously, you should start afresh - you'll enjoy getting used to the Wii controls more and won't have some random guy's crap in your attache case =)
Argh guys..need massive help. Right after the wolverine guy in the prison, you stop the fire blowing with the switch. After you go through the doors theres alot of those cult zombie fuckers. I've run out of ammo..I knew I shouldn't have used my bazooka :| The only ammo I have is 9 handgun, 2 shotgun, 16 rifle...horrible horrible..I managed to kill about 4 with my knife and thats it

You'll have to take a few out with headshots especially from the rifle, and then collect their ammo. You can make it to the far back room while dodging most of them; there should be extra ammo there too.

shoot one of them in the lower leg so he drops to one knee then you can walk up and kick him. Got any grenades?
If you get 1 kill you should get some ammo if you're lucky. Just shoot sparingly.
Go into a corner with Ashley. Use the Rifle to do headshots, Handgun to shoot the knees and then kick them, and use the Shotgun for crowds (2 bullets... use them on 2 groups). Collect the ammo and I suggest to have Ashley follow you all the time. There's some vases around you can destroy for ammo, I think. It'll be difficult, but possible. Just remember that the Rifle is very powerful.

Oh, I see you're at 'the room'. If you're weaksauce, try this...
After you kill someone with a single bullet and pick up their dropped ammo, run out the door and reenter. This will reset all the remaining bad guys to their original positions and serve as an autosave.
To recap...
-Bullet to the head/knee, when they're stunned, kick them to the floor and knife them on the ground.
-If they don't drop ammo, restart from save point.
-If they do drop ammo, run out the door to save the game.
-Repeat until you've built up your ammo reserves.
Obviously taking out the 'snipers' with your rifle and getting rid of the guys with shields is your first priority.

Screw that. Run to one side only. Kill those guys with the shotty, then make a B line to the room in the back. Put Ashely in a corner, there is some ammo there and wait for people to run in single file. At least the door will close when one person comes in. Shoot for the knees and knife/kick. Watch out for the hole in the ceiling though. They'll drop in.

I do this. But I just dodge all the first lot and head straight for the room.
And to the guy asking all the questions...man, just play the damn game.
You're like that annoying person at the movies who continually asks questions of the person whose already seen it before. If you just kept quiet and kept playing/watching, most/all of your questions would be answered.
