Just another reason to dislike Capcom and the Wii U

[dsheinem]

It's just a lazy port in my eyes. In this case, there's no reason to choose the Wii U version over the PS3/360/PC ones!

You can say this about almost every port on the Wii U, no?

How to WiiU port:

Step 1: Don't upgrade the graphics and textures at all, even though they can be

Step 2: Include support for a few different kinds of controllers but not the ones the people want

Step 3: Make it cost exactly the same even though it's come out much later

Step 4: ?????

Step 5: Call the WiiU bad when your poorly ported game doesn't sell well because it's 9 months old, costs $60, and everybody who wanted to play it has already done so.

Is it not obvious they're developing the game with the gamepad in mind, to take advantage of the touchscreen? Then again, they're saying the pro controller is supported, so I don't know.

Oh well, I don't really care. I don't like the nunchuk and wii remote. Never have, never will. Plus, I have the game on 3DS already.

This is the nail right here. They need new & fresh games to draw us in.

But any way, this game should have Wii controller support. RE4 was a blast and I could not put it down. I remember thinking RE Archives was going to be the same and almost bought it.

With or without motion controls, RE 4 is a blast to play.

I put down the GCN version and never finished it.

With all the positive reviews for the Resident Evil Revelations HD remake for the home consoles and PC, I was actually excited at the thought of being able to play the Wii U version, because I LOVED how well the Wiimote & nunchuck worked on the Resident Evil 4 edition for the Wii. 

But guess what? That control option has been surprisingly omitted! Same as the Classic Controller option. Instead, you either have to use the Wii U gamepad or the 360-style one. So older Wii controls are not an option!

First off... what a horrible, HORRIBLE decision by the development team to not include the Wiimote controls after how well-received those controls were on RE4! If they had included this option, I may have actually considered buying a Wii U due to this game alone. That's how much I enjoyed the RE4: Wii Edition. 

Second, I thought backwards compability of the original Wii controls were supposed to be a big selling point for the system? But so far, it seems like most of the bigger titles do not include them, when that control option might have made for a VERY NICE bonus to have. Games like Mass Effect 3, Zombi U and Batman: Arkham Asylum would have been really cool to play with the Wii's motion controls. But instead, you're stuck with the over-sized gaming pad. I understand they're trying to push the new controller, but they should still give us that option. Activision included it on Black Ops 2 and it works wonderfully. So what gives? 

First of all, RE 4 wasn't designed with Wii controls in mind in the first place. It's kind of luxury that gamers got a version of the game that supported them. It certainly shouldn't be expected of all RE games

Second, you'd be crazy to buy a Wii U for Revelations. It's not half as good as RE 4 was. It's better than RE 5 and 6 though, but that's not saying much.

That's just you, i played RE4 on the PS2, GC, and PC (with textures mods) and i love it every... single... time... now i wanna try the wii and HD versions of the game... yes i love it that much.

I just played the demo on the PS3... is not bad and i kind of like that nighmare difficulty (crap ton of enemies!) Still i need to check RE6 to see how good... or bad it is. RE5 was a good game but not a resident evil game for me.
