Capcom denies RE5 exclusivity rumours

I don't understand all this negativity going towards the Wii. Does anyone realise the potential that console and its controller has for the video game industry and even for the survival horror genre?

Imagine for a moment playing a RE game on the Wii. You're walking down a darkly lit corridor, in the distance there are zombie moans, you hear something behind you getting closer and closer. There's a door up ahead that you need to go through, you're out of ammo, you are in the worst possible scenario and your salvation lies behind that door.

You reach the door and through the Wii-mote's speaker you hear the creature getting real close now and you're in a panic to get the door open, so you have to be quick, you are frantically (not only in the game but in reality) getting the door open and getting into the next room before the creature kills you.

Now that introduces a totally interactive experience for survival horror, a new era of suspense in survival horror games. Isn't that experience worth striving for and hoping for? I know I would love that, it would add to the atmosphere greatly.

So the Wii-mote introduces a completely new way of interacting with games. We thought games were interactive, but they aren't. True interactivity will be performing the exact same actions and movements in real-time so the character does in the game what we do in our 3D space.

This means that, as in my example above, when you want to open a door you have to actually move your arm forward so your character can grab the door's handle, then turn your wrist to open the door then pull back to open the it. (surely this isn't new to those who heard about what you do in Metroid Prime to open doors on the Wii?)

I know its only early stages but just imagine the possibilities. Thats what Nintendo does, they don't limit themselves to the present, they're always looking forward to the future too, the future of the industry.

I think we all need to be grateful for what this company has done for the industry, regardless of whether you only like Microsoft or Sony, or whether you think Nintendo has dropped the ball, you have to admit they changed the industry and without them you would not have the consoles you have today.

So I welcome the Wii with open arms and I also continue to imagine the possibilities along with Nintendo.

Nintendo dreams and most often those dreams become reality. Even if they fail at this console and retire out of video games, at least the ride with them was worth it.

I'm not afraid to admit of Nintendo's failures, afterall they are part of the industry and of real-life.

The Virtual Boy was a big failure indeed. But I ask you this, who else dared to experiment?

With the CD based console the PlayStation came out of that and utilised that technology and introduced it to the video game industry, but even though it never came to be with Nintendo, their interest in that technology was the catalyst for Sony picking up that ball and running with it.

I understand that there are many gamers who just want to sit down and press a button to do things and that is completely fine. Personally I'd love to have more intense interactivity.

What you're saying ugh is spot on, and thanks for bringing your sarcasm to my attention, lol I missed it when reading.

The view that Nintendo are experimenting because they don't want to compete with Microsoft and Sony is a valid view. My view is that they're going about things the way an independent filmmaker would. Instead of adhering to what Hollywood does, an independent filmmaker experiments and goes their own way.

I believe that's the strategy Nintendo is employing.

I guess at 22 I'm just too damn old for the fangdangled HD graphics, lol!

To me graphics don't mean anything. I still get enjoyment out of NES, SNES, N64 and PsOne games.
