Okay, so I know the deal - so save it. And I know these things usually go nowhere - save that also.

However, I am an optimist and believe this will happen sooner or later.....

I'll be happy with a graphically gimped version on the level of 4 for GC...still looks great three plus years later.

Resident Evil 5 Petition

Currently there are 42000 signatures, please add yours to the list if you'd like to get some more
RE lovin from Capcom.

Eh, signed. I love me some RE4 and only have a Wii, so...

Yeah....exactly how I felt and still feel.

Totally agree...I'll let people know to sign it.

Though I feel for all of you out there with only a Wii (when I was in middle school, all I had was a N64 - which was still great, but I wanted to play REAL RPGs), it's already taking Konami four-plus years to make this game for two different systems. How long would it take for them to make a less-graphically intensive version? And even if they did that, who knows how long the game is? If it's anything like MGS 4 with extra content and so forth (which filled up an entire Blu-Ray disc!), they might have to use two Wii discs, which would definitely not be cost effective.

Like I said, I feel for all of you. And I'm gonna sign the petition, but I'm not sure how likely it is.

Firstly I have both a 360 and a Wii. If RE5 came out on both at the same time you know which I'd run first to get...the Wii version honestly.

Why cos I played RE4 on PS2 then on Wii. The Wii version was simply the funnier game. And the fact is its the same for the 360 and the Wii.

Dead rising comes to Wii...does anyone see history repeating itself here? I do.

Why you say? Two reasons. The first reason being, The PS3 and 360 are in a different bracket than the Wii. You can do the same on each but with the Wii its harder its difficult to do teh same things so it holds back development as ppl try to make this next-gen game fit all the systems. Therefore its better to lead with these two systems you can stretch yourself as a games developer. Try new things. Then its easier to port it later and leave out the new things if that has to be the case, or try doing them slightly differently. For example fewer zombies on screen or lower resolution zombies, or no dust particles fying around but all the zombies. see where I'm going here? You have the "perfect idea" its just implementing it on Wii best.
The second reason is much simpler ppl who have the 360/PS3 version will buy the Wii version later...I certainly will other Wii owners will. Cos it is that much fun to bullseye zombies with your Wiimote.

I Stand here and know for a fact RE5 will come to Wii. I honestly think it won't come till 6 months after 360/PS3 but I know it will.

Yeah, RE5 will almost certainly come to the Wii eventually. And chances are it would be less difficult to convert than a lot of people think, since what I've seen of RE5 basically looks like RE4 with hi-res textures (recycled animations - really? I love you, Capcom, but you're probably the laziest company in the business). What I'm more worried about is that they're turning this into just another generic shooter, especially with apparently forced co-op.

I wouldn't worry about the disc thing. The Wii uses DVD-ROMs, just like the 360. Capcom won't do anything that could hurt the 360 version, since it seems unlikely that this game will be a big seller in Japan.

Just another generic shooter? Did you play Resident Evil 4? It looks like RE4.5, but I am totally okay with that and I am not surprised at all. Games in a series don't typically reinvent themselves with every release. I've watched all of the E3 videos and I think that this game looks incredible. I know you are a big fan of RE2. RE2 isn't that far removed from RE1 and it was still awesome.

I loved RE4, but from the videos I'm afraid that this one will tip the balance too far away from horror in favor of action. The co-op, the automatic rifles that Chris has, the setting and the number of enemies...I will still definitely check it out, but what I'd really like to see is something that strikes a perfect balance between RE4's play and the survival horror of the earlier ones. I don't want to judge a game before it's finished, but that seems to be the direction they're heading, towards Gears of War and away from Resident Evil.

RE4 was still scary for me, at least on the first playthrough. I really hope RE5 is too, since horror is such a rare genre to get right in video games. But again, don't get me wrong - I think it will be good too, and I'll be buying it on the first day.

Really? You'd get the Wii version? My plan is if no news happens then I'm getting a PS3 for RE and GOW3.

From what I read the coop stuff sounds like a throwback to Zero, which was okay. I do agree that it looks like it's further down that road that 4 started, less scary and more action/adventure I'm sure there's a good balance that can be achieved with a focus on where they want to go with the storyline of the series.

I myself would like a really to see RE2 get the remake treatment, or at least have a new game in the series that's got the really intense feelings 2 gives you. They've got the environments down, 4 is still a really good looking game today, and the Wii could pull off more I'm pretty sure.

I guess they really aren't going to release the specs, are they? Not officially anyways maybe.
