"New game announcements" at Resi 5 party

Capcom to name new game(s?) at Friday launch event
Capcom is to make "new game announcements" at its official Resident Evil 5 launch party this Friday, the company has confirmed.

Speaking via the company's official blog, a company spokesperson said the San Francisco event will have "plenty going on" to keep fans busy.

"For starters, there will be a whole tent dedicated to the game where tons of kiosks will be set up and players will get a chance to get their hands on the game before grabbing it at midnight.

"You'll also have the chance to win prizes and giveaways, meet the development team including co-producers, Takeuchi-san and Kawata-san and hang out with the motion capture/voice actors that played Chris, Sheva and Josh. To top it all off there will be new game announcements, stage shows, and Resident Evil activities all through out the night," the blog reads.

A Capcom marketing man recently blabbed that Wii Resident Evil fans will be "very happy very soon", which has sparked rumours that this "game announcement" could be another remake of a past Resi game. What are the bets on a Resi 2 or Code Veronica remake? Both would be very welcome in this office.

Not finishing Resi zero is one of my biggest gaming regrets. I loved EVERY.SECOND of the Resi remake on the gamecube but just could'nt get into zero. I may have to dig it out this weekend and give it another try. :?

Resi 1,2,3 and possibly CV ports on the EU PSN store? Or MvsC2 HDRemix. thats what i'm waiting on

A new version of Resi 2 using the Resi 4 style engine would be amazing if done correctly, and could look even better than Resi 4 as it wouldn't be restricted by the GameCube's power.

Another Umbrella Chronicles might not be so bad either as it would surely have to incorporate Resi 2 and Resi 4 this time around!

I really wouldn't like to see a cut down version of RE5 on Wii, it would be like Dead Rising all over again. It would look poor, and without online co-op or proper comunication support via Wii Speak, would fail from the offset as the AI on Wii would be even worse for Sheva.

I also don't want to see a 'new way to play' old Game Cube title 0,1, 2, 3 etc..

So for me it's got to be either of the first two possiblities or like someone else said a whole new proper RE game created for Wii, a true sequel to RE4 if you will.. anything else will be a disappiontment really!

Resident Evil: Code Veronica for the Wii. Dead Rising 2, Lost Planet 2 for the HD consoles.

give us a proper remake of 2. From the groundup.

The resi remake for me was the highlight of the series and the best of the old style resi's.

There's nothing wrong with capcom sending some love nintendos way. Resi 4 sold amazingly well on the console and is without a doubt the best version of resi 4.

Joking aren't you? Resi 2 REmake (ideally using Resi 4 engine) has to be the most anticipated game this side of Shenmue 3...

Capcom are on a bit of a roll recently, so any game they are looking to put out has me interested straight away. Just to agree with just about everyone, a remake of RE2 would be brilliant, a proper Survival Horror game!

seen this on kotaku on friday night and have to say i'd love a resi 2 remake in the style of 4.

bring on the lickers.

it probably won't be 2 though,it'd be easier for capcom to remake veronica (which is nowhere near as cool,steve's a pvssy) as there's already a 3d engine for that available in one form or another: they just need to switch the viewpoint and re-texture the environments.

a resi 2 remake would require a new engine and i just can't see capcom putting that much effort in to a wii game this side of monster hunter.

oh and while we're at it,how about letting the resi 4 engine go and developing a better one. the wii can do more.

Surely a whole new engine is more, or at least as much, work ;)

wasn't there a rumour ages ago of a remake of resi 2 for wii? if that rumour turns out to be true i will seriously be chuffed. resi 2, whilst having crap graphics now, is awesome, yet i still haven't completed it

Resi 2 REmake style it's amout time the crimson heads returned
Posted by ste hicky
@ marty: yeah,completely contradicted myself there :D years of substances man,at least it started well eh...

i think. :oops:

it'd be nice if they used the resi 4 prototype engine,the one that featured the hookman in the painting.

i had ps2 owning friends who swore it was fmv at the time and it looked better (graphically) than the finished game: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/7188.html

if resi 2 looked like that,i'd be more than happy.

You know what i want? Resi 3 in wii-o-vision. Imagine it. Nemesis coming after you on the wii with control shaking to lose his grip. Ah god that is what i want.

DAAAAAAAAAAMN! Its not RESI2 but the umbrella chronicles sequel based on RESI2.
