Impressions are at almost every site.

[dpatel]

It took me a long time to realize that RE4 was coming to the Wii and not RE5. I was wondering why this thread hadn't exploded.

[Kaijufan]

Why didn't they make UC a third person game like RE4? :cry: I hope it turns out good but I have my doubts.
It's great that RE4 is officially confirmed. I was planning on playing RE4 again this summer, but I'll wait for the Wii version.

[rodeojones903]

The last thing the wii needs is another GC port.

[Scrubking]

I'd prefer a first person RE game. It would be an improvement over the stale controls the series has had forever now. Imagine being able to easily and effectively run away from the zombies instead of getting stuck, etc.

But in spite of the fact that I have little interest in a RE game now I hope that UC is a good, high quality game. But for that to happen Capcom has to get off their ass and stop calling the wii a kiddie console.

[panasonic]

lol gamecube ports on wii LMAO. It better be budget $30 at most i plan on picking it up since i don't have the original on gamecube anymore

Looks like UC will be a fun diversion before the real next RE comes out for PS3(and 360?)

[Wlogan31]

Is UC just some spinoff type thing or should I expect a full-length fulfulling experience?

Yes, RE5 is coming to PS3 and 360.

I'm glad UC is going to fill in the blanks between 3 and 4, and hopefully tie up the loose ends of CV, but the question is how will it play? Has anyone played Dead Aim? I've only gotten about 5 minutes into it, but I imagine it could be something similar to that, and I didn't think that was too bad...

[dallow]

FIXED.

Psh.
We already know it's confirmed for PS3, I'm just waiting for the 360 announcement, unless I missed it.

I take it the appeal of RE: DA wears off after a while? I played it briefly with the lightgun, and I can see that translating to the Wii. Maybe I'll pop it in this week and see how I like it.

I mean, that's the problem, it was a light gun game.

I don't expect UC to be that thin on gameplay though. I'm sure it'll be much more satisfying.

Hey hey now, Dead Aim was one of my favorite RE games, and really the one that really got me into the series. I had briefly played the original RE before that, but the clunky controls just frustrated me to no end. Then I picked up Dead Aim with the recoil guncon...that was badass man. I now own and have beaten every RE game to date.

It was also light years ahead of every other light gun game in the simple fact that you could actually walk around. I found the d-pad on the back of the gun to actually work well, and feel pretty natural. And the most important fact that I believe keeps getting overlooked...is that you're physically pointing and shooting at zombies! How can you find fault with a game that lets you hold a gun to something's head and blow it clean off? You can't buy that kind of happiness! My only fear is that the Wii version won't pull it off as well as Dead Aim did (no recoil, etc.). But the potential is definitely there.

[Dr Mario Kart]

They might as well just put RE5 in the Devil May Cry series, as the director wants it to be even MORE actiony then RE4

No doubt it was pretty fun at first. Just wasn't RE to me. But a fun diversion, like UC will probably be (hopefully with learned lessons).
I don't see how that game could have gotten you into the rest of the RE series though. That's a bit weird.

I guess it just felt more "playable" to me, if that makes any sense. As I said (and I'm sure most agree), the controls in RE1 were a nightmare. The robotic "walk", "turn", "walk". I just didn't have the patience. It was hard too, because I wanted to like the series, and had people telling me how amazing a game it was.

After trying Dead Aim though, I felt the "coolness" of the franchise, and had a greater desire to dive deeper into it. So, I went back to RE1, learned the controls, and became a believer. I'd still much rather have normal human walking controls from RE4 before I'd go back to clunky RE1 again, but I appreciate where the series came from. I'm such an RE freak now, I'm anxiously awaiting Resident Evil: Extinction. 9/21/07 baby!

[Scorch]

I'll pick up RE4 on Wii day one. I played through it on GC at least five times, the Wii controls would be awesome.

Alright, I believe ya!

Hehe. Funny, when I first picked up RE1 (about a week after it came out), I was totally blown away by it. I'd never seen any game look so good.
The controls took some time to get used to, but it's not like I had anything to compare it to back then (never played Alone in the Dark).

I thought the 'slowness' of the controls, having to turn, then run away, added to the creepiness and stress of being chased by crap. Such a rush.

Oh memories.

[Scrubking]

rest assured, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles will not be like RE: Dead Aim or Gun Survivor.

Yeah, I hear that. And here's where I make myself sound like a douche, I never had a PS1 (I was partial to Nintendo), so I had a GC..and my first real experience with "survival horror" was Eternal Darkness. I bought REmake, got frustrated, let it sit, got my PS2..and RE:DA, and the rest was history. I feel lame not getting in on the ground floor in 96, but I finally got there.

[Puffa469]

Ok, Im a little confused. Is UC the name of the RE4 Wii port? Or are RE4 Wii and UC Wii two seperate games?

I would buy RE4 for the Wii on day one no problem. Just give me the extra stuff that was in the PS2 version, and a couple more new extras and Im in. I beat RE4 3 times on the cube, and twice on the PS2 and I still want more!

Those stale controls are what really made the game "survival horror." Half of the challenge of most of the RE games is fighting the damn controls as a zombie starts to lunge at you. I'm not saying that I like the tank-type controls, but it definitely made the games more stressful. Imagine the original RE game with fully analog controls, it would have been a helluva lot easier.

RE4 is my favorite in the series due to the over the shoulder aiming and more action-oriented gameplay, but I wouldn't call RE4 survival horror by any stretch.

I didn't find the REmake stressful or scary. It was just frustrating. I got rid of my copy, too, when I was barely 20 minutes into it.

[jkam]

I hope they up the graphics from the GC version and give us the extras from the PS2 game for RE4. For $30 I'd be in. As for UC I'm not sure about the whole on rails shooter thing but it might work pretty well. Looking foward to see how both fair.

[nefaquotek]

If they price it at 20$ and add a multiplayer, I'd be willing to buy RE4Wii.

But you just know that Capcom is going to charge 40$ just like it did with the gamecube ports of RE2,RE3 and RECV...

Definately going to buy REUC though.

[Friend of Sonic]

Wait. So is UC first person or is this still just speculation?

Actually, the limited ammo and health pickups while running from zombies is what made it survival horror. The horrible controls had nothing to do with it.

Maybe Capcom purposely made the controls bad, but if they did it was a cheap way to add difficulty and poor game design.

Totally in the minority here, but I never had a problem with the controls in RE. I picked it up fairly soon after release, and I thought it was fantastic. My brother and cousins (all either 1-2 years younger than me) never really got the hang of it, but the 'tank' controls felt fine to me.

I agree, its the scarcity of health, ammo, and save points that make survival horror games. If it was shite controls, then the first 3-4 Tomb Raider games would be survival horror games. ;)


Anyway, Im in for both of these RE games! With RE4 Wii, even if they dont upgrade the graphics at all, it will still be the best looking Wii game the moment it comes out.

True on the first paragraph. TR controls were indeed shite.

Ooops, now it's a pure light gun game.

I'll still play it though.

[botticus]

From reading through the NeoGAF thread, it looks like they're going to be combining the PS2 and GC releases for the Wii RE4. Extras from PS2 version, but using real-time cutscenes rather than the FMVs that were used in the PS2 version. So... hopefully that ends up being true, and I'll probably sell my Cube copy, for all ten minutes I've played of it. :lol:

[The Crotch]

Hmm. If RE4-III is cheap, I'll probably pick it up. Not really looking forward to Umbrella Chronicles, though. Then again, I'm not much for horror games. Movies? No problem. But I can't play Eternal Darkness for much more than an hour at a time.

[Scrubking]

IF the game is a bonified light gun game, complete with light gun attachment, then I will accept an "on rails" system. Otherwise it is a lame excuse for not being able to figure out how to program for the wiimote.

Red Steel has more than proven that you can walk and shoot people at the same time on the Wii. So there shouldn't be any games with rails anywhere.

I dont know about your demands for the Light Gun shell, but the enhancement to the RE4 engine should show enough promise of a Wii-capable control scheme. It would clearly be a choice to have UC be a on rails shooter.

[nefaquotek]

Score we're getting all the PS2 extra that was rightfully ours to begin with. Now if they can add multiplayer... or a gun attachment.... 30$ sounds decent for that.

As for Umbrella Chronicles, I'm more interested in finding out on the story than the gameplay, kind of like how I played MGSPortable Ops despite being on the PSP.

Either way it could be fun. You never know. Wait for some actual movie previews, so far the few screenshots I've seen are rather good.

[Friend of Sonic]

On rails?! Why does every fucking big, original exclusive on Wii have to be on rails?! (Well, maybe I'm exagerating, it's only two titles)

[buurrnn]

Hope it has anamorphic widescreen with no underscan....

[Monsta Mack]

Hmm why is everyone asking if RE4 will be $30 or less? It was already shown on Gamestop's website earlier for $29.99 pre-order, and was removed, but I highly doubt they would raise the price on that.

It sucks that RE:UC is going to be a FPS, that really puts a damper on my interest. I'll wait for reviews and hope it turns out good.

[dallow]

Ah, I was afraid of that. As soon as they annouced that you'd be going through all the major games in the series, something in me said that there HAS to be a catch. No normal RE (even in RE4) style would work like that.

... oh well. Still gonna get it first day.

Oh, and they list off some main characters, but where is BARRY BURTON (note the caps)?

It's a crime that Barry has yet to have his own game. :bomb:

I'm fairly certain his statement was meant to imply that the game is too creepy. However, I thought the ED setup worked just fine and the story wasnt too bad to boot. What were your issues?

I'm fairly certain his statement was meant to imply that the game is too creepy. However, I thought the ED setup worked just fine and the story wasnt too bad to boot. What were your issues?A combination of both, actually. Bad combat controls and an occasionally useless camera (So what if you can be sure nobody's gonna sneak up behind you walking down the hallway? You can't see two feet in front of you!) are pretty much essential to a horror game.

Hot.

I just hope it has a traditional control scheme along with the wii control scheme... that, along with all the PS2 extras, makes it the best of best worlds. I'm not really interested in the wii aspects they would put into RE 4, just the best looking version of the game with all the extras. I'd probably play through the wiimote part of it for fun, though.

I'd totally be down for that for $30. I will wait for concrete information before I sell both my PS2 + GC RE 4, though.

You know, I really gotta wonder if Capcom has a beef with Nintendo, or if they simply no longer see them as relevant in today's industry.

I mean support and all is nice and certainly appreciated, but it's bordering on pacification than anything else at this point. From the severe lack of games on the DS to fairly lukewarm attempts to support the Wii to hardly any releases on the VC, they sure don't seem to want to reach out to any potential audiences outside of releasing Megaman Battle Network: Megaman Battle Network Edition every year in two different flavors.

Capcom has been known for trying to support the underdog (RE on GC, PSP games). I think Capcom didn't expect the Wii to do well, so all they planned for was RE:UC. Right now, it looks like they're realizing that Wii is taking off, so now we're getting RE4, Inafune's new game, and Adventure Island Z(unless this is Inafune's game). RE4 is something they can churn out fairly quickly(May release) so it's obvious that they are seeing that the Wii is a great money making opportunity. And hey, at least they aren't doing what Ubisoft is doing. RE4 port makes sense and it looks like it will play great.

[Scrubking]

Just saw the trailer for UC and it definitley looks like a lightgun game. The announcement of the blaster, or whatever it's called, can't be coincidence.

If it indeed is a lightgun shooter then count me in.

This is a good assessment and probably close to the truth. It still sucks that Capcom hasn't been very supportive of Nintendo since the ol' "Capcom 5" for the GC.

RE4 is such an awesome game, though, that it'll be easy to forgive them if the Wii version has slightly improved graphics and fantastic control. I don't know about this "Shooting with the A button" business, but otherwise I'm very excited for this port. It's the only GC port outside of Zelda:TP I find tolerable and even desirable.

That's not to say "updated" GC ports couldn't be a good thing. They'd just need to be genuinely updated. RE4 for the Wii may set a great precedent for GC ports if it turns out to rock socks.

I don't know how accurate that pic is.

Anyway, Capcom definitely has something against Nintendo. I mean their kiddie console comment should be enough to prove that. Of course the Wii's massive sales are probably changing their minds since there is lots of money to be had. That and the insults being flung at them by the Wii fans.

[VanillaGorilla]

I've already beaten it on 2 different consoles, but to the 3 people who haven't already, it's probably good news for those guys. This might lead to a new slew of Wii-fied last generation ports. Perhaps Luigi's Mansion, where the Wii controller is your flashlight?

[foltzie]

I wasnt aware that Capcom had a beef with anyone... Their Mega Man series is now largely a DS exclusive. Nintendo partnered with Capcom to make the last few handheld Zelda games. If trusting them with Zelda wasnt some sort of gesture, I dont know what could swing opinion.

If you make an inventory of the talent Capcom actually has left, everyone that was decidedly pro-Nintendo is already gone, for the most part.

I only played RE4 through once on the GC, so I might actually double dip on this puppy. Aiming with the Wiimote is enticing.

[Legendaryhedgehog06]

Totally getting this. Traded my GC RE4 ages ago so I'm more than happy to pick this up again with Wii controls and the PS2 extras. I just hope there is maybe another weapon or two or an extra costume just as a lil sumpin sumpin.

More RE4 wii screens

I'm still hoping for some kind of gamecube controller / classic controller support along with the new wii controls... it looks like it would make the game TOO easy since you could just headshot every one with ease. I just want the option to play through the new content the old way, as well as the new way. Think Metal Slug Anthology, a control scheme for everyone.

Going to dump both my RE 4's on Ebay though, because this one will be the definitive one.

Looks like the game was pushed back to 6/25/07 though.

[G33]

If this is finalized at the $30 price point, I will definitely pick up a Wii by this summer (missed it at launch, and haven't seen a reason to hunt for one since). Never played either version of RE4, though I did watch someone play through most of the game.

Same here. I never played my copy of RE4, but watched someone play through my copy. If the Wii controls are well done, and they probably will be, I will be picking this up.

[Puffa469]

I cant wait to play Mercenaries with 'Wii-mote Action!' :D

I don't think it was pushed back. Maybe you're confusing the Japanese date with the US one?

[yukine]

Looks pretty good... RE4 is worth rebuying. It's just that good.

It's the Uwe Boll of game trailers.

[munch]

I so hope that commercial comes to the States. It'll be like the Sanjaya of video game commercials: terrible but heartwarming and endearing.

[-Never4ever-]

Hell no. The last thing the Wii needs are more ports.

Yes, the last thing the Wii needs is more games. One new game every three months with nothing to kill time inbetween.

What the Wii needs is more games all around. If they're ports of NGC games, but with better controls and more stuff then so be it. And besides without these Wii ports, most devs won't have the funds to make games on other *COUGH*PS3*COUGH* systems. At this point in time, you need RE4 Wii in order for RE5 to see release.

I highly doubt that.

That new trailer has to be one of the stupidest trailers ever...

[The Crotch]

$30 for RE4, huh? I'll probably bite. I wouldn't mind being able to strafe - or at least walk backwards while shooting - but the absence of the bounding box makes me a happy camper.

[daroga]

Someone should tell the girl in that commerical that the store forgot to give her the back of her shirt. It kinda looks like she just draped a large napkin over her shoulders.

For $30, I'm totally in for RE4 on the Wii. This and Wind Waker were the games I was hoping to see be remade (that is, ported with Wii controls) for the system. Add in that it's got the added stuff from the PS2 version, and it sounds like a great time to me. :)

[lilboo]

Hopefully there's another google checkout promotion by the time RE4 comes out :)

This isn't a new game by any stretch of the imagination. It's a two year old game that's adding content from the PS2 game we saw at the end of 2005 with a little waggle support added in. The only reason anyone is paying any attention to this is because it's Resident Evil 4, so they know that the fans are still willing to pay more money for the game.

If Capcom needs this to be able to finish RE5, then they should just quit the business. Developers don't need Wii ports to support other development, they're making porting games amongst the PS2, PSP, and Wii as a new way to make more money for the least amount of work as possible. I've been against sloppy seconds ports from the beginning and RE4 is no different.

[Apossum]

Capcom milking a franchise....no f'n way.

be prepared to see 50 re-releases/remakes of RE4 over the course of the next 20 years, culminating in RE4 for the DS Lite 2000 Xtreme

[lilboo]

I bet if they made Luigi's Mansion ported w/ use of Wii Controls, I may enjoy it 10x better.

That game would rule with Wii Controls!

[Ikohn4ever]

ehh for me if I get it, it would be cheaper than buyin the ps2 game and a ps2, thats the only reason i could think about getting it

[Rocko]

Never played RE4, so I'm in. UC looks cool too.

[dallow]

Ok, time to remake every GC game.
Or at least just the ones I own myself.

[GrimNecroWizard]

Can't wait for RE4 again

I'm really excited for both the RE games, and now I'm even interested in Treasure Island Z.

[yukine]

Yeah, Treasure Island Z looks crazy.

[GizmoGC]

$10 more a Wii-mixed version of an awesome Cube game? I'm sold.

[evanft]

I love how Destructoid's (http://www.destructoid.com/hands-on-resident-evil-4-wii-edition-30982.phtml) and IGN's (http://wii.ign.com/articles/780/780367p1.html) impressions of RE4 are completely divergent. I'm really beginning to think that the whole "Who think it sucks cause YOU suck" meme about the Wii may be true.

I'm really beginning to think that the whole "Who think it sucks cause YOU suck" meme about the Wii may be true.

I have suggested (over at PGC) that when reviewing Wii games, there needs to be a "How much I suck at this game" criteria that needs to be factored in.

That would explain a lot of the differences in scores.

[evanft]

It seems, in general, that they "get it" more over at IGN.

[Lan_Zer0]

I really dont understand their complaints about shaking the wiimote to reload. In my mind that makes more sense than shooting off screen, or hitting a reload button.

Also, I hope this game has a light gun option, so the wiimote pointer can be calibrated to work like an LCD lightgun, if and when a lightgun attachment is released. Though, I won't hold my breath.

[daminion]

It's available at EBGames for pre-order at $29.99.

I agree... actually, the idea of the wiimote as the flashlight is really cool! i'll bet the kids would love to play Luigi's Mansion with the wiimote and if the game is about $20-$30, i might buy...

Err, i don't like the tone of the cough... If the devs don't have the fund to make PS3 games, then chances are the games won't be too appealing anyway.

[Scrubking]

Just saw the gameplay video and UC is indeed a light gun game. Now just bundle the game with the gun peripheral for $50 and I'm there.
