Topic: Does It Bother You That Capcom is not making an HD Remake Of RE 1 For Wii U?

It IS the truth. That is why I'm saying they'd have a better chance if it used te GamePad or showed up as a simple release on VC. There is no rush or any instance where this is absolutely "tragic" for Wii U.

@Beetlejuice
He said Wii U wasn't worthy, in which case, neither were PS2 or Xbox, AND for different reasons.

@Jazzer94
Well, the Wii version sold poorly, I admit, but that's just more or less reason why(not including GCN), and those reasons include that it was already on GCN and GCN was the audience they were appealing to at the time. The fact is that people only care about this Resident Evil remake, because it s on PS or Xbox, which shows how people let blind bias keep them from buying the game on Nintendo systems when it mattered more. At this point, the game is a cash in, and all the PS and Xbox "hardcore" fans are eating it up like it just came out yesterday. Hats off to Capcom, I guess.

Again, it's not all about sales. If that isn't clear by now, then this discussion went absolutely nowhere.

300k units on the Wii U would be $15mil in revenue, assuming a $50 price tag. How much do you think Capcom is paying their programmers? Heck, they could make it eShop only and almost remove cost of distribution entirely.

It wouldn't do anywhere near the numbers on Wii U as it would on PS4, that's pretty obvious, but it would do enough to make money.

If we were talking about a new RE game on the Wii U, yeah, I agree it would be a bad idea, but this is just a quick-and-dirty HD port.

As for why the Wii version sold poorly, I would assume it's because you could already play your Gamecube copy on the Wii with no consequences.

Didn't say that at all.

It is about sales.

Probably not gonna be $50 (most likely $40 or less who knows) and will struggle to get to 100k on Wii U then there is factoring more costs then just paying programmers.

@Jazzer94

WTF is this, then? Also, I totally agree that sales matter, but that is factually not everything at play here. That is what you and alot of others are failing to understand.

A question hence the question mark "?" as to why you assumed it would be in 720p when the 8th gen versions are in 1080p, was that so hard to understand? (oh look another question )

@Akazury If I was informed correctly, the Xbox 360 version of Revelations did just as poorly as the Wii U version. Now, the whole Xbox 360 fanbase is not yet on the Xbox One (in fact, only a small portion is), so poor sales from the series should end up being even poorer on the Xbox One. While the Wii U version sold poorly, at least the whole market is still there from the previous Resident Evil release (in fact, it may even be bigger as many Wii U owners also have a 3DS and got the game on that system). So no, Xbox One does not have guaranteed sales potential, and I even think it has less sales potential than a Wii U version.

(P.S. I'm not sure how Resident Evil 5 and 6 did on Xbox 360, I'm just using results from the latest game.)

Also, everything @CaviarMeths has said is spot-on.

That would be what I've been saying so I'm not sure why you are quoting me.

We already know Wii U would already be able to run the game at 1080p if they really wanted it to, though, so your question was technically rhetorical. Now pair that with the fact that you think it is unable to sell, and that is why what you said didn't make sense. I was going off of the Xbox 360 and PS3 version.

Now the Wii U version won't sell at all, because there isn't one. That's awesome.

Capcom is desperately looking for ways to keep themselves afloat so any quick-buck schemes they can come up with are going to be what we'll be seeing for the next year or two. The Wii U in general isn't a quick-buck scheme in its entirety, it's a slow burner: don't expect to see very many more Capcom games on it until they go bankrupt/get bought out. Well, unless they get bought out by Sony or MS...then none I guess

I still don't think those sales are high enough to debunk my previous argument. I still stand by what I said.

lol Capcom can live forever with quick cash-ins, for them to go bankrupt they must be in a situation where they can't publish remakes or Monster Hunter games anymore.

This is also accurate.

Of course I could argue that a quick-buck port would be appreciated on Wii U between the gaps of first party software, but if Arkham and Assassin's Creed don't matter on Wii U, I'm not sure this would exactly make a difference either.

Reading comprehension is defined as the level of understanding of a text/message. This understanding comes from the interaction between the words that are written and how they trigger knowledge outside the text/message.[1][2] Comprehension is a "creative, multifaceted process" dependent upon four language skills: phonology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.[3] Proficient reading depends on the ability to recognize words quickly and effortlessly.[4] It is also determined by an individual's cognitive development, which is "the construction of thought processes". Some people learn through education or instruction and others through direct experiences.[5]

There are specific traits that determine how successful an individual will comprehend text, including prior knowledge about the subject, well developed language, and the ability to make inferences. Having the skill to monitor comprehension is a factor: "Why is this important?" and "Do I need to read the entire text?" are examples. Lastly, is the ability to be self-correcting to solve comprehension problems as they arise.[6]

HD repacks of last-gen (2 gens old in this case) games never sell a lot of copies though. Devil May Cry HD included 3 games, retailed for $30, and sold 600k on the PS3 (by comparison, REmake for Wii actually did OK considering it literally gave you no reason at all to buy it if you already had it for Gamecube). But that doesn't really matter because they're so darn cheap to produce. They're so cheap that it doesn't matter how much they sell. Even 50k copies at $40 is most likely a modest profit.

Anyway, I have 0-4 on Gamecube and my Gamecube still works fine, so I guess I don't have any personal stake in this. I was one of those 80k who bought Revelations on Wii U, so maybe it just hurts my feelings that Capcom thinks I'm insignificant.

Nope. I bought it on the Cube and the Wii. Sony/Xbox only users should get a chance to play it too. Next to nothing new is being added to this version. I wouldn't mind getting a budget price version of 5 for the u tho.

It'll be in 1080p on Playstation 4. But, yes, we can agree that Resident Evil HD is not releasing on the Wii U due to a lack of a profit.

Predicted profit.*

I was actually pretty ticked when I saw it wasn't for Wii U. I've been wanting to play it again recently and this would have been perfect.. now it's just another reason for me to get a xbone or ps4.

It still gets me that Capcom would miss out on Nintendo its like Nintendo has Cudies and Capcom doesn't want to touch them.

Lol took the words right out of mouth.
