After being ported half way around the console scene, Resident Evil 4 is finally coming to the Wii. Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition will hit stands sometime this summer, and will contain the additional content that was seen on the PS2 port, along with motion control. For those interested, here’s what you can expect according to Capcom: "This celebrated game now comes to the Wii with added Wii Remote and Nunchuck support, allowing players to immerse themselves in the game as never before. With RE4 Wii Edition, Capcom is offering new and more immersive sense of control to players, while keeping all of the game's incredible game systems intact. As Leon Kennedy, players will explore a town overrun by cultists, mutants and mind-controlled villagers, using the Wii Remote to aim, fire, slash and avoid oncoming adversaries with intuitive motions and movements. RE4 Wii Edition will also contain the additional content included in the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system version of the game." Later on this year, Capcom will release a whole new game in the series for the Wii, called Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles. Here’s a little about it: "Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles is a brand new game in the Resident Evil franchise, with familiar locales from the entire series, created specifically for the unique characteristics of the Wii hardware. This action/shooter hybrid reveals the back story behind the fall of the Umbrella Corporation by exploring locations from Resident Evil 0, 1, 2 and 3 as well as new never-before-seen locations, such as Umbrella's stronghold. Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles combines first-person, light-gun style combat with interactive pathways, multiple weapons and new enemies to create an entirely new Resident Evil experience that could only be delivered on the Wii." Call me a purist if you like, but I just don't like the new Resident Evil games. None of the new games are as good as RE1 or RE2, since they don't capture that feeling of dread that well, and aren't really that immersive. Let's hope that the Wii's motion controls make the game more interactive, and hence immersive. |
