i'm hoping for a RE2 remake,
and hopefully some extended scenarios :O

wow that would be awesome.

but then again, when capcom says "we have a surprise" don't take it too serious, since i hate their surprises.

their last one.. "we have a huge surprise for you when you finish RE5" ended up being nothing more than mercenaries bonus.

some expected much much more.

(like a bonus gameplay mode with Jill playable, like Ada's sidemissions during RE4)

1.2 - Resident Evil 2 was the last in the series that I genuinely enjoyed.
- 2 separate story-lines (and you had to play through both to get the "real" ending).
- A real sense of "survival": scarce ammo, scattered weaponry, not being able to fight EVERY adversary.
- Tonnes of CGI cutscenes. (Quite special back in the day.)
- Relatively layered but uncomplicated story.

Very much looking forward to a remake, if one is on the cards.

Oh, and to the OP, you sold your Wii?

Might want to consider picking one up again, the game announcements are coming fast and furious lately. Sure there will always be "bratz" and "babiez" and EA shovelware, but there ARE hardcore (and JRPG, my personal preference) titles showing up all over the place on the Wii and I expect the flood to increase, not abate.

If they made another UC I'd like them to start where the other left off. It actually was a fun light gun game with a good difficulty as well.

Though a RE5 Wii edition would be cool. If that's the case I wish they'd tell us before the PS3/360 version came out for I'd get that one instead.

For anyone who doubts the Wii's power is http://revoeyes.blogspot.co... Read the blog and learn for yourself. Personally I would want to see some more Resident Evil. I rented RE4 weeks ago, and loved it.

Butt

They better not use the Resident Evil 4 engine. That engine doesn't push the Wii at all. The Wii is as powerful as 3 Xboxes, so they should use a engine with those specs. If they did that for Dead Rising Wii, there would be the 100 zombies on the screen at once. Dead Rising Chop till you drop isn't a zombie apocalype game, but a zombie inconvienience game.

I love how someone disagrees with my point, when it even says on the submission page...

"Always submit the url to the original story when possible, and the url should link directly to the content."

Resident Evil: The Minigames collection.

Nah, J/k.

It's probably a Remake of some sort.

RE2 does not deserve to be remade with the RE4 engine. Remake it a la REmake with the old school stylings if they're ever going to revisit RE2.

If Capcom had any sense they'd come up with a new title with the RE4 engine, perhaps even a Sheva prequel to fill in her back story.

However, they know whatever the put out is a license to print money, so i wouldn't be surprised if they steered clear of that engine altogether.

They need to use a new engine not one that would run on PS2. Wii is a lot more powerful so no reason to waste that power on an outdated engine.

No it is more than just slightly. PS2 was 233mhz. Wii is 733mhz. Wii has 10 times the rendering power of the PS2. RE4 for the GC had to be toned down in order to run on the ps2 and the Wii is almost twice as powerful as the GC was.

Kills me how many people want to talk about crappy games and ports on the Wii but the first thing they'll ask for is another port....Same thing for Dead Space...

Let's have something RE on the Wii that has never been available before.

A revitalized Outbreak would be nice. But on REAL online consoles. We dont need some friend code crap for a game like RE.

I don't really understand what he's saying... "RE5 was made for PS3 and Xbox 360, that being said Wii owners will be happy soon"? Well that doesn't make me happy at all... it raises more questions. The only way I understand this, is, well, "Re5 was made for those systems, that's why we didn't ported to the Wii; we're making it from the ground up for the system" If so, please don't use the RE4 engine, chop til you drop is awful...
