In a GDC 2007 lecture, Head of Capcom Production Studio 2 Keiji Inafune discussed the troubles in porting some of Capcom's next-gen engines to Wii and if he'd be willing to develop mature titles for the system.
When asked if the engines for Xbox 360's Lost Planet: Extreme Condition and Dead Rising would be used for projects on other platforms, Inafune stated that the engines has been optimized for multiplatform usage, but that they wouldn't work on Wii. Instead, the developer is looking to utilize the Resident Evil 4 engine for some Wii projects.
FuRuy has opened a Twitter account called “Project Alice” teasing a new game announcement on April 25 at 20:30 JST.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
Dash Rendar, Prince Xizor, the Battle of Hoth, and one of the boldest Star Wars multimedia projects ever made. Here’s why Shadows of the Empire still matters.
This game along with Rogue Squadron got me into to Star Wars. The release of special edition VHS Star Wars collection was perfectly times on top of all that. 😆
But it wasn't. Although I do agree that some of the tie-in media, like the novels and comics, were pretty good.
Still, games like Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Rogue Squadron, and the space sims were peak 90s Star Wars. Shadows fell flat because of the abysmal controls and unimaginative levels. And if you wanted to really experience the seedy side of the universe, Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 was peak, and it wasn't even close.
Regardless, and much to my dismay, we got the better version thanks to Ubislop in Outlaws, which is what Shadows should've been, albeit at a smaller scale.
As a kid me and my cousins loved this game . I have great memories with this one and the Star Wars pod racer game .
Wasnt that...ummmm "Last-Gen" ?
ohhh wii wii wii. (SMH) Well the younger side of my family will get a kick out of it this christmas!
Coming to Wii from PS2 that RE4 engine still looks pretty damn sweet today given that it's nearly two years old. Wonder what Capcom's up to with twice the power at their disposal & a grown-up sized DVD?
Capcom's on a roll right now. So to hear that they are going to use RE4 engine is awesome. They want to take the Wii serious and they start off with some big guns. Wonder what it'll be
@bbsin
and still evryone is jerking off on God Of War2 for the Ps2?..........
and becozz its old it means its for sure the games will suck?
narrow minded indeed.
Its not about being Narrow minded at all. The wii is cool but if their upcoming event is the "R.E.4 Engine" then things arent looking good for them. Yeah RE4 was sweet. But when I hear "Next-Gen Gaming" Im looking for the Unreal Engine 3.0, Cri's Middleware, Rage engine(The new on of course and whatever else newer games that are coming out. Yes people are spazzing of God of War 2. Thats because its a PS2 game. So your comparing a PS2 game to the wii's upcoming title? If an annoucement comes in 4 months or so saying. GOD of War 3 to use God of War 2 engine from PS2 then that would be depressing. Notice the word "Next" in Next-Gen. Yea RE4 was sweet. Your not telling me. But I doubt RE5 is using the RE4 engine. So why would I be hyped over it..
NEXT PLEASE !!!
