What a stupid meme. What exactly did you expect that game to do on a Wii, transform the machine from the inside out, say "We don't need roads" and fly into space? If you want 100 simultaneous zombies on your screen, you've bought the wrong system, plain and simple.Hero said:

I personally don't get the RE5 backlash myself, it has the same controls as what is widely considered the best game in the series. I just thought Umbrella Chronicles was a fantastic experience and a great way to sort of experience the games in a different way. I thought each scenario captured the essence and mood of the respective game that it emulated.
People just need to quit being so fucking bitchy about everything. It's no one's fault but ours that we took the OMG MAYBE RE2 REMAKE a bit too seriously. It's why everyone is under the same delusion that they're going to get an FF7 remake. Sure there's more evidence to that being a possibility than an RE2 remake due to the PS3 tech video, but seriously, an FF7 remake? like they're really going to do that. I was hopeful of something like an RE2 remake but I wasn't about to throw a bitch fit if it wasn't it because I was 99.97% sure that it wasn't going to be.

Um....Dead Rising was watered down in more ways than just zombie count. It's clear as day that they didn't put much effort into it.

The fact that the quote in the OP mentioned RE5 before mentioning a new RE title for Wii? But then again I guess if they mentioned something like "Fans of RE:UC should look forward to an upcoming announcement" wouldn't have worked so well?
Considering the last generation was the PS2, I would say no major developer has been up to snuff with the games they made last generation. I'm not sure how Capcom making a new RE ground up for the Wii would change that either. It's not like they DIDN'T make RE5 and are only making spinoffs and ports. I guess it just boils down to the sequel being on a platform you don't own?
It wouldn't change it completely, but outside of Dead Rising (360), Mega Man 9 and to a lesser extent Street Fighter 4, Capcom has been awful this generation. Lots of crappy ports and half assed attempts for quick cash ins.
And I own all the current generation systems, it really doesn't matter to me either way. I'll get RE5 in a few months when it's down to 20-30 bucks.
Sorry to nit-pick and be off topic all at once but I'm pretty sure I read a quote somewhere from capcom saying that Dead Rising Wii would support 100 zombies on screen instead of the 800 on screen that the 360 sported...bcn-ron said:
Back on topic, when Capcom announced RE4 exclusive for Gamecube was NeoGAF full of Ps2 people wondering why the hell they would put a mainline series on a system that wasn't the market leader only to be met with Gamecube opposition suggesting that RE4 couldn't be done on Ps2 because of power? I know the differences between Wii and Ps3/360 already so I don't need a ton of posts telling me how different the circumstances are now, etc.
Edit: that quote was from Nintendo power apparently, so eh... I'm going to bed.

I will buy for a high price if they learn to tone down all the required dodge waggle... That was the first games weakpoint I thought.

uc is a very average game at best, and for every bit of
fun there is to be had with it, there is an equal amount of frustration
what really pissed me off though was I got stuck on a boss, I seem to recall tenticles, lasers, and shooting him in the mouth, and there was no way to exit the level and go back to play other paths. so I had to start a new save file and start over on normal difficulty! ridicoulous

That's fine by me Capcom, if you don't want to put any decent amount of effort into your Wii titles and are content with putting out no good pieces of crap that have been outsourced to Z list developers like Tose and Cavia then I am content with ignoring you and not giving you my money.
Fuck you and fuck your tests!

I hadn't thought to respond to this thread, as I have no interest in the game in question, but I saw this and felt the need to.
This is completely backwards, duckroll: the prestige in film is in the lower budget films (your "art house" flicks), and the money is made on the huge blockbusters (Indiana Jones, Iron Man, what have you).
That is the exact opposite of what we're seeing in gaming: the "prestige" projects are the big expensive ones, and the money makers are the smaller, low budget stuff. Not surprisingly, that distinction makes a very significant difference in the long term viability of the model.
in other words, the big one-shots are both gambles and a "let's make something we can put our name behind to show off." Sometimes they sell millions and turn a huge profit, like how CoD4 turned out, but what's most curious about this generation is the injection of casual gamers, and how that's become a cash sponge for publishers to continue flexing their IPs and development strength.Opiate said:
Its all a giant penis-measuring contest D:
In other words, its games like Dark Side Chronicles that helps feed the development for games like Resident Evil 5. I believe in an interview somewhere, they even said that Capcom essentially wrote a blank check for RE5's development, and outside of what's essentially RE4 gameplay, it shows on a lot of fronts.

Dark Side Chronicles, eh?
I actually started playing Umbrella Chronicles again recently and it's a good game. I was also playing RE4 Wii again and it's an amazing game.
So... y'know... Still, RE5 is 2 days away!!!

This certainly isn't true. The money makers are the big budget games, yet the respective consoles the big budget games appear on does not appeal to the majority of the consumers so not as many games succeed. Still, a game like GTA selling 13 million makes more money than a budget title like Brain Age that probably sold the same if not more. Besides, titles like Brain Age can be compared to film projects like Blair Witch Project. They happen rarely but reward big.

No, I'm not talking about arthouse films. You're mistaken. Hollywood blockbusters DO make money, sure. They make money just like Halo, GTA, Gears, etc make money. Those are huge. But there are also many projects that have escalating budgets because of the brand name of the director and the cast and crew, which make it really hard to make money back. Look at stuff like Speed Racer and the Matrix sequels for example. My point is that with blockbusters, there's always a big risk for big returns.
At the same time you have TONS of trash comedies and sappy romance dramas, and low budget action cash-ins. RE2? RE3? Disney's direct to video animation sequels? Tons of movies are made for 50-80 million and can make tons of dime based on the fact that they're fast to make, don't require tons of marketing, and the casuals eat them up anyway. They're all relatively low budget titles that have little artistic value but look good in profits.
It's the same thing here. Don't give me the bullshit that there are no "arthouse" games out there. Katamari? Rez? Ico? SotC? None of those are high budget stuff at all and they're definitely well regarded in terms of artistic value. Suda51 makes his entire career off arthouse style games with little to no budget. There's a very similar situation here. But ask James Cameron if he wants to make a low budget movie or Avatar and I think you'll have the answer there. Avatar's escalating budget and ego-centric concept of pushing 3D films is almost certainly box office poison. It's a huge risk to spend so much money on something that might not even make it back. Same with Peter Jackson on King Kong. But yet studios will continue to green light such projects based on the prestige on the directors and hoping to bank on the cast. That's how it is.

If you have a next gen console you should love capcom. It's not their fault you bought the wrong system.

Stop what, stop making money? :lol
Even if (when?) they port RE5, people will still complain. They might remove online co-op, or gimp it. They might remix or scale down certain areas. Whatever they do, I don't think Wii fans on GAF will ever be happy with Capcom. The bottomline is that what you want, and what the developers at Capcom want to make, seem to be very different things.

I think it has more to do with resource management. They have their sexy semi-new MT Framework engine they probably poured a fuck load of dollars into, that is suited to PC/360/PS3 development. I'd imagine they want to keep their best and brightest on projects that can compete with the big AAA current gen games, and utilise all the shiny new tech.w3stfa11 said:
I know there's some big holes in this logic, and I'd love a new game built on the RE4 engine, but I think it's justifiable that they're keeping their A-teams on HD gen tech.

What? I'm happy with RE5 being on HD systems, I'm picking it up on 360 this Friday.
I'm not allowed to wish they'd actually make an effort with their Wii games too? RE4 on Wii played brilliantly, it was the perfect rendition of that control scheme. Imagine if they could take that and make an actual new game around it. Instead we get more on-rail shooters and BS tests.
I was right the first time.
